Patent EP-1178376-A3 (EP)
Inventor: PERRY RONALD N
IPC: G05B13/02
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: A method optimizes a system. Performances of design parameters of an
objective function modeling the system are represented in a multidimensional
search space. A set of vertices are positioned in the search
space. Each vertex has an associated one of the performances. The vertices
in the set are sorted in a worst to best performance order. Each vertex in the
ordered set is moved to a next position if the performance at the next
position is better than a current performance of the vertex. The sorting and
moving are repeated in a cycle until a termination condition is reached.

Abstract: When a cavity (20) accommodating movable portion of an external force
detecting sensor has a narrow structure, the external force detecting sensor is
influenced by air damping, and therefore the cavity (20) should have a wide structure.
However, when a top surface (20a) and bottom surface (20b) of the cavity (20) are
positioned too high, the range of vertical movement of the movable portion is
increased, and when an external impact force is applied to the external force
detecting sensor, a movable interdigitated electrode (21) rides on fixed interdigitated
electrodes (31, 41) and stays there, thus the external force detecting sensor is
rendered inoperable. A height D from the fixed interdigitated electrodes to the top
surface and bottom surface of the cavity is set by having, as elements, widths of the
movable interdigitated electrode (21), and fixed interdigitated electrodes (31, 41) set
to W1, W2, and W3, the height of the movable interdigitated electrode (21) and fixed
interdigitated electrodes (31, 41) set to h, and gaps between the movable
interdigitated electrode (21) and fixed interdigitated electrodes (31, 41) set to g1 and
g2, and the movable portion is structured so as to securely return to the standstill
position due to resiliency of a beam.

Abstract: In a headlight optical axis adjusting apparatus and
method for a vehicle, the shape of a road in front of the vehicle
is detected by a CCD camera (19) based on a change in lane marking
line (100L, 100R) which indicates the lane width on the road,
before the steering angle of a vehicle steering wheel (15) is
detected by a steering angle sensor (16). Left and right swivel
lights (11L and 11R) of the vehicle are swiveled and adjusted based
on the change in the lane marking line or the steering angle. The
optical axis of the left or right swivel light (11L or 11R) is
first swiveled and adjusted based on the change in the lane marking
line. The driver's forward visibility can thus be improved before
the driver turns the steering wheel (15).

Abstract: To provide a method for generating color-correction lookup table for better
using a color reproduction area of an output system, an image processing
apparatus, an image processing method, and a recording medium. 
     An image processing apparatus uses a color-correction lookup table to
apply a desired color correction to an input image signal. The image processing
apparatus is provided with a color-correction lookup table for chroma
enhancement, which applies chroma-enhancement processing to a desired color
point in the input image signal in an area where an output system gamut is
wider than an input system gamut, and uses the color-correction lookup table for
chroma enhancement according to the input image signal for performing the
desired color correction. The color-correction lookup table for chroma
enhancement does not perform the chroma-enhancement processing when the
desired color point is dose to achromatic color.

Abstract: A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29). A dam (33) in the fixed section forms a pond (72) for immersion cooling of the extrudate. A truss (35) extends from the dam to the bulkhead supporting shaping and calibration equipment and extends through the telescoping section. Fluid pressurizable seals at each end of the telescoping section are operable after the telescoping section is closed against the bulkhead and the telescoping and fixed sections are locked together. The telescoping section provide a more compact line and easier access to the complex equipment downstream of the die. The extrudate from the die passes down into the pond (72) and then through an orifice (74) in a hood (75) projecting from the chamber into a lower level portion of the pond (78) exposed to atmosphere. The hood also includes a tractor drive (88) to push the extrudate through the underwater orifice. The hood and its contents are accessible through the atmospheric pond. A tractor haul-off and the tractor drive in the hood are the only extrudate drives between the calibration equipment and atmosphere. The higher level of the pond (72) within the chamber downstream of the dam is controlled by a valve in turn controlling the output of a pump. The valve control senses the pond level and operates independently of the vacuum controls. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>A horizontal vacuum extrusion line includes a fixed bulkhead (23), a die (24) inside the bulkhead, a telescoping vacuum chamber section (27) and fixed chamber sections (28,29).

Abstract: A method, and a system for implementing such method, for use in a
magnetic disk storage system for compensating for variation in spin speed of a
data storage media from a nominal or design spin speed. The method includes
providing the nominal spin speed for the data storage media in the particular
magnetic disk storage system and then measuring the actual spin speed of the
data storage media. In one preferred embodiment. the spin speed measurement
is completed by measuring the time from one servo position field to the next
sequential servo position field in a track on the data storage media. Next, the
present spin speed variation is determined by comparing the measured spin
speed with the nominal spin speed. A correction factor is calculated based on the
spin speed error and applied to at least one data transfer parameter, such as
channel reference frequency or read/write gate assertion timing, prior to a
subsequent data transfer process (i.e., a read or a write operation). The spin
speed compensation method may further include verifying that the measured
spin speed is within a range of acceptable spin speeds. The range of acceptable
spin speeds is determined based on maximum spin speed change rates of the
magnetic disk storage system and the most recent measured spin speed. If the
measured spin speed is outside this range, the data transfer operation, i.e., a
write operation, is stopped to prevent damaging data previously stored on the
data storage media.

members (4), the pin portion is not inserted to the other
of the members (5) but only the shoulder portion (3) is set
in contact with the other of the members, and, while this

this method, only the member on the side where the pin is
inserted can be made to undergo plastic flow attendant on a
friction stir action. The metal in plastic flow is pressed
against the opposite member at an elevated temperature and
high pressure, whereby diffusion of atoms is caused in the
vicinity of the abutment surfaces, and the members are
welded.

Abstract: This invention aims at achieving early activation by
use of a catalytic body having a low thermal capacity,
and a low pressure loss, without using a coating layer to
reduce exhaust emission. The invention is directed also
to improve exhaust purification performance by improving
the combination of catalytic bodies and performance of
each catalytic body. In the invention, a start catalyst
1 is arranged at an upstream portion of an exhaust pipe P
of a car engine E and a three way catalyst 2 is disposed
on the downstream side. The start catalyst 1 can
directly support catalytic components through chemical
bonds by incorporating replacing elements into a
substrate ceramic having high heat resistance such as
cordierite. Because a coating layer is not necessary,
the catalyst of the invention has a low heat capacity and
a high open area and achieves reduction of exhaust
emission, and reduction of pressure loss, through early
activation.
