Patent EP-0892334-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHMIDT THOMAS JOSEPH
IPC: G06F21/22
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A computer cabinet tamper detection system includes a
switch that is responsive to the chassis being opened to
expose the electronic hardware and an auxiliary state
element that changes state in response to the switch. A
reporting program runs on the hardware to poll the state of
the auxiliary state element when the computer is
operational to provide notification regarding a safe or
unsafe condition of the chassis. This allows the computer
operator and the organization to take steps to contain any
damage associated with the possible prejudicing of the
computer's security.

IPC: G06T9/00

Abstract: Methods and systems for compressing and decompressing 3-D geometry data
which includes regularly tiled surface portions. One compression method includes
representing a surface portion as a "vertex raster", which comprises specifying an extent
value and encoding the vertex parameter values of vertices within the surface portion.
The extent of the surface portion specifies the arrangement of vertices within the surface
portion, and allows the vertices to be properly assembled into drawing primitives during
decompression. The encoded vertex parameter values may be encoded globally (by
setting initial values and corresponding delta values), locally (on a per-vertex basis), or
using a combination of these techniques. Absolute, delta encoding, or delta-delta
encoding may be utilized for these parameter values. Vertex parameters which may be
encoded in this manner include position, color, normals, z-displacement values, texture
map coordinates, and surface material properties. Additionally, connectivity information
may also be encoded using this compression method by specifying quad split bits and
half-resolution edges. Quad split bits are used to tessellate a quadrilateral formed by
neighboring vertices of a surface portion according to the direction of the strongest color
change. Half-resolution edges are utilized to gradually shift from an area of high
resolution to an adjacent surface portion represented in lower resolution. For graphical
objects which include a plurality of adjacent surface portions, a step command is
disclosed which allows data from one surface portion to be advantageously reused.
Decompression of a vertex raster representation, in one embodiment, comprises decoding
the extent value, global parameter values, and a per-vertex stream of local parameter
values.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing and storing a state metric
which is used for an add-compare-select (ACS) operation is
disclosed in a Viterbi decoder using a number of ACS units
in order to enhance decoding speed. A state metric memory
in a Viterbi decoder uses a two-port memory, in which a
memory bank for reading and writing a state metric of a
first half among the N state metrics generated in a ACS
unit and two memory banks for alternately reading and
writing the state metric of the second half whenever a
codeword is input, are incorporated into a single memory.
As a result, a storage capacity for storing the state
metrics can be greatly reduced compared with a
conventional apparatus.

Abstract: A FIR filter for programmable decimation by powers of two has an
input coupled to receive an input signal and an output coupled to the
input. The FIR filter uses context registers, where the number of contexts
per context register is equal to the maximum desired decimation power  m .
An output context register coupled to provide the output simultaneously
contains all of the decimation output results, the desired decimation result
being selected as one of the output contexts. A cascade of timing circuits
in response to an initial clock signal and an initial valid signal at one-half
the frequency of the initial clock signal provide timing signals for storing
the decimation results as separate contexts in each context register. At any
time any desired decimation result is available for output.

Abstract: A multispeed hub gear comprises sun pinions (1,2,3) freely rotatable
in side by side disposition on a fixed spindle (4) and selectively lockable
relative to the spindle by means of a gear selector assembly (5) movable
axially in a bore (6). The selected sun pinion is locked relative to the
spindle by means of a selector spool (14) which pushes and holds three
balls (9) radially outwards so that they coact with complementary
formations (7) on the internal circumference of the sun pinion (3) and the
sides of their mating holes (8) in the spindle (4). Each hole (8) is tapered
the diameter of the hole increasing in a direction away from the centre of
the spindle. This reduces the force on the spool. The force may be varied
by altering the angle of the taper. An alternative to tapering is to drill
parallel sided holes at an angle to the radial direction to the axis of the
spool.

Abstract: In a drive system and a magnetic tape cartridge for use therewith, the magnetic
tape cartridge contains a number of magnetic tapes, and the drive system contains at
least a like number of read/write heads. The drive system includes a mechanism which
is engageable with all of the magnetic tapes in the cartridge for simultaneously
extracting all of the magnetic tapes from the cartridge and moving all of the magnetic
tapes so that each tape engages with at least one of the read/write heads. Data can
then be simultaneously transferred between the engaged tapes and read/write heads,
so that the time needed to access data in a read mode, and the time needed to write
data in a record mode, are correspondingly reduced by a multiple which is dependent
on the number of tapes. All of the tapes are wound onto a single take-up reel.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling combustion of
an engine. The engine has a throttle valve (23) located in
an intake duct connected to combustion chambers (5), and a
brake booster (71) actuated by vacuum supplied by the intake
duct. During stratified charge combustion, if vacuum
supplied to the brake booster (71) is insufficient, an ECU
(30) decreases the opening of the throttle valve (23)
thereby increasing the vacuum. The ECU (30) switches the
combustion mode to stratified charge combustion if a target
injection amount, which corresponds to load applied to the
engine, is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.
When the target injection amount is greater than the value,
the ECU (30) switches the combustion mode to homogeneous
charge combustion. During stratified charge combustion, the
ECU (30) sets the determination value to a smaller value
when an operation for producing vacuum is performed than
when the operation is not performed. This procedure
improves fuel economy.

medium are relatively moved in a prescribed
direction, and the plurality of recording elements
of each printing head (HA,HB) are divided into a

between the plurality of printing heads (HA,HB) in
the prescribed direction on the printing medium is
detected and the detected amount is greater than a
prescribed amount, on the basis of block sequence
designater (408), an in-block driving sequence is
set independently for the each printing head and on
the basis of a sequence generated by block sequence
generater (409), the each printing head is driven.
Correcting the print position offset in this way
produces accuracy of printing position adjustment
