Title: Dispositif d'eclairage et procede associe pour projecteurs laser
Inventor: KAPPEL DAVID
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2001-08-01
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des systèmes et procédés fournissant l'éclairage nécessaire à des dispositifs d'imagerie tels que des systèmes laser de projection. Dans une exécution on fait passer un faisceau (par exemple laser) fortement collimaté dans un diffuser holographique pour créer un angle de cône nettement défini pour la lumière provenant de chacun des points du diffuseur. Cette lumière est focalisée sur une image éclairée se réglant en fonction des caractéristiques du diffuseur. Dans une autre exécution, l'image est un rectangle d'intensité uniforme d'un allongement 4:3 correspondant à l'imageur d'un système de projection. Les caractéristiques du diffuseur et l'image éclairée résultante peuvent être sélectionnées pour s'adapter à l'imageur désiré. Lesdits systèmes et procédés peuvent présenter l'avantage d'un fort rendement lumineux, d'une réduction ou élimination du chatoiement et du jaspage, et d'une réduction ou élimination des baisses d'intensité en cosinus4 ou gaussiennes, tous défauts communs aux réalisations antérieures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated genes originating from Beta vulgaris, sugar beet, that are involved in responses to stress situations. The genes were isolated from a sugar beet cDNA library screened in a functional selection procedure with transformed yeast cells that were able to grow in selection medium with high salt concentrations. Subsequently these genes were sequenced and further characterized. One of the genes is a sugar beet casein kinase α subunit, one is a sugar beet dihydroorotase, one is a sugar beet translation initiation factor 1A and two others are of a unknown protein type. All of these isolated plant genes were functional as stress tolerance enhancers in yeast cells and are therefore useful to confer stress tolerance to an organism when transfected herein. More particularly, these genes can be used to render crops resistant to stress situations like osmotic stress caused by salt, drought, cold or frost.

Abstract: In a toroidal continuously variable transmission,
a link support structure of one of upper and lower links (160)
linking ends of trunnions includes a stationary portion
fixed to a transmission casing. Also provided is an
engagement portion (160a) formed at the link and in contact with
the stationary portion (1a). The engagement pair restricts
a fore-and-aft movement of the link relative to the casing (1)
in a direction of a common rotation axis O 1  of input and
output disks. A freedom for the fore-and-aft movement
of the link relative to the casing is relatively less
than a freedom for a vertical movement of the link relative
to the casing in a direction of the trunnion axis O 2  and
relatively less than a freedom for a left-and-right
movement of the link relative to the casing in a direction
normal to both the common rotation axis O 1  and the trunnion
axis O 2 .

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is operable to determine non-linear distortion
applied to an image in which template signals have been introduced into at least first
and second frequency bands of the image respectively, the template signals having a
predetermined relationship with each other. The apparatus comprises an image
dividing processor operable to generate data representative of selected parts of the
image, a transform detection processor operable to generate at least one parameter
representative of a linear transformation applied to each of the parts of the image, and
a non-linear transform processor operable to estimate parameters of a non-linear
transformation representative of the non-linear distortion applied to the image from the
linear transform parameters of at least two parts of the image. 
     The data processing apparatus provides a facility for determining parameters of
a non-linear transform representative of the distortion applied to the image as a whole.
The distortion is therefore evaluated by generating linear transform parameters for
different parts of the image and then determining the non-linear transform parameters
in accordance with a relationship with the linear transform parameters. The linear
transform may be the Affine transform, the parameters determined being Affine
transform parameters. The non-linear transform may be the Perspective transform or a
Polynomial transform, the non-linear transform parameters being evaluated from the
linear transform parameters.
