Patent EP-1380983-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BARKAN ED
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to systems for reading optical codes in point
of sale installations. In such code reading systems an audible signal
is used to indicate to the operator that a code has been read.
A microphone (602) is used to detect ambient noise. A signal from the
microphone is compared to a threshold value which may be manually set
by the operator. The output of a comparator (604) determines the gain
of an audio amplifier (608). Thus the volume of the signal is
automatically adjusted to the ambient noise.

Abstract: A signal adaptive filtering method for reducing blocking effect and ringing noise, a signal adaptive filter, and a computer readable medium, The signal adaptive filtering method capable of reducing blocking effect and ringing noise of image data when a frame is composed of blocks of a predetermined size includes the steps of: 
a) generating blocking information for reducing the blocking effect and ringing information for reducing the ringing noise, from coefficients of predetermined pixels of the upper and left boundary regions of the data block when a frame obtained by deconstrucing a bitstream image data for inverse quantization is an intraframe; and 
b) adaptively filtering the image data passed through inverse quantization and inverse discrete cosine transform according to the generated blocking information and ringing information. 
Therefore the blocking effect and ringing noise can be eliminated from the image restored from the block-based image, thereby enhancing the image restored from compression.

Abstract: First(1) and second(2) components of fiber composite are placed on a supporting surface(11) and a fiber preform(4) is arranged between them. A first tool(6) with a matrix supply channel(12) is positioned on the two components to form a first airtight chamber(21). A second tool(8) with a suction channel(14) placed on the two components forms a second airtight chamber(22) with an opening to the suction channel. Pressure is reduced between the two components by vacuum application and a matrix fluid fed into the preform via the first chamber(21). Curing of the matrix in the preform is at elevated temperature and under pressure. Meltable yarns incorporated in the fiber preform(4) are heated by the incoming matrix and dissolve into the latter to form a plasticizer. The tools(6,8) are positioned on opposite sides of the two components(1,2) and are sealed off from the latter. The two tools may be combined to form a single tool. An air permeable membrane(10), which is impermeable to the matrix material, is arranged between the preform(4) and the opening(14) to the suction channel.

Abstract: A torque transfer mechanism (38) having a multi-plate friction clutch (46) connecting a pair of rotary members (28,40) and a electrohydraulic clutch actuator (48) for controlling engagement of the friction clutch (46). The clutch actuator includes a hydraulic pump (190), a hydraulically-actuated rotary operator (92), and a thrust mechanism (94). The hydraulic pump (190) draws low pressure fluid from a sump (192) and selectively delivers high pressure fluid to a series of actuation chambers (132) and return chambers (134) defined between coaxially aligned first (100) and second (102) components of the rotary operator (92). The magnitude of the fluid pressure delivered to the actuation chamber (132) controls angular movement of the second component (102) relative to the first component (100) for energizing the thrust mechanism (94). The thrust mechanism (94) applies a clutch engagement force on the friction clutch (46), thereby transferring drive torque from the first rotary member (28) to the second rotary member (40). An electrohydraulic control system (50) regulates the fluid pressure delivered to the actuation (132) and return (134) chambers.
