Patent EP-1113400-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ABE YOSHIHISA
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing three-dimensional shape data, includes calculating estimation values for portions to be deformed by converging two or more vertices (v i ) of a polygon model (M i ), and reducing the number of data for the polygon model (M i ) by converging two or more vertices (v i ) of the polygon model (M i ) when the estimation values are equal to or below the predetermined permissible value. Estimation values for surfaces to be deformed by shrinking edges or surfaces are calculated based on distances between the respective surfaces and all the original vertices (v i ) involved in the surface deformation. Before each data reduction, the portion having been involved in all the previous data reductions is defined as a reduction prohibition area, and a succeeding data reduction is applied to a portion other than the reduction prohibition area.

Abstract: A telecommunications cable (10) comprising a communications element, such as
an optical fiber, and a jacket (18) surrounding the communications element (12) having at
least one elongated strength member (20a,20b) embedded therein is disclosed. The jacket (18) of
the telecommunications cable (10) is formed by extruding a blend of a polyolefin
material and a copolymer adhesion promoting material, such as graft copolymer of
polyethylene and ethylene acrylic acid or a graft copolymer of polyethylene and
maleic anhydride. The copolymer adhesion promoting material promotes adhesion
between the strength (20a,20b) member and the jacket (18). The resulting increase in adhesion
between the strength member (20a,20b) and the jacket (18) improves the cable's (10) resistance to
water penetration, low temperature buckling and shrinkage as well as excessive
high temperature expansion. The blending of an adhesion promoting material in
the jacketing material also reduces the risk of armor (16) cracking during cyclic flexing
and strength member (20a,20b) pistoning within the jacket.

Abstract: A controller (4) is electrically connected to a proximity detector (5) under the outlet (15) of a faucet housing (1), a position detecting switch subassembly (21) in the housing, and to a servovalve (3) in the conduit (11,12) of the housing. A lever-mounted control element (20) connects the disk type manual valve (2) in the conduit. When the control element moves to a fully closed position, the controller deactivates the proximity detector and closes the servovalve. When the control element moves to an intermediate, partly open position, and the proximity detector senses the presence of an object under the outlet, the controller opens the servovalve. When the control element is moved to a fully open position, the controller deactivates the proximity detector and opens the servovalve.

Abstract: A shock absorber includes a housing, a piston slidable in the housing, a piston rod extending outwardly from the piston, a cup-shaped stop cap secured to the free end of the piston rod, and an adjusting ring which protrudes from the end of the housing and can be rotated to adjust the damping coefficient by adjusting the open cross-section of throttle openings through which a hydraulic fluid is displaced by the piston. When a load pushes against the stop cap, the maximum travel is limited by the stop cap bearing directly against a rigid end ring of the housing. The load forces are introduced directly from the stop cap into the housing, without applying any loads onto the adjusting ring or other components. The adjusting ring and a return spring coaxially on the piston rod are accommodated within the stop cap in the fully retracted position.

Abstract: A stable charge coupled device (CCD) imaging apparatus operable in multiple frame rates for displaying a signal having a low frame rate in a viewfinder (VF), and also a recorder built-in type imaging apparatus using the CCD imaging apparatus are presented. The imaging apparatus includes a drive pulse switching circuit for multiplying a CCD drive pulse other than a CCD read pulse by (n/2) (where n is an arbitrary integer) when the multi-frame rate is low, a frame memory for storing an output signal of the CCD of one frame right after pulse output. The signal is read at every (n/2) frames. The frame memory repeats to read out the stored signal in one frame (n/2) times. The imaging apparatus further includes a camera signal processing circuit for performing a camera process to an output signal of the frame memory, and a recorder unit for recording an output signal of the camera signal processing circuit at the frame rate of the set mode. As a result, even at a low frame rate, the apparatus displays a signal in the VF. And with a properly-selected value of n, the apparatus conducts a signal having various frame rate between a camera and the recorder at a common frame rate.

Abstract: The present application provides a method for the separation
and determination of 5-hydroxycreatinine (5-HC), comprising
the step of subjecting a sample to high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) separation using a strongly acidic
cation-exchange resin and a separation solvent having a pH of
4.1-4.6. 
     By this method practically measurable 5-HC concentrations of
as low as 0.02 µM are achieved, and the method can be
performed in a short period of time using only one single
separation solvent. This allows for practical applications
which have been impossible with the conventional methods, and
renders the present method a useful tool in an improved test
for the detection of e.g. renal function disorders, such as
renal failure, diabetic nephropathy and nephritis, and also
as a marker for systemic oxidative stress.

Abstract: In a method for forming a planar microlens array
according to the present invention, a wet etching is
conducted to a glass substrate for a stamper while it
is covered with a mask (1a). After the etching is
conducted and the mask is removed a wet etching is
conducted again to the glass substrate to form densely
arranged concave portions thereon (1c), and thereby a
stamper is obtained. An uncured resin is applied on
the forming surface of the stamper, a glass substrate
for a planar microlens array (MLA) is pressed thereto,
and thereby the uncured resin is formed (1d). The
uncured resin is cured by applying an ultraviolet
irradiation thereto and the stamper is released
therefrom (1e). The resin layer is removed by a
reactive ion etching and whereupon the substrate is
etched in a form corresponding to the form of the
resin layer (1f), and whereby an all-glass microlens array
