Patent EP-0825776-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KONDO TETSUJIRO
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1997-07-17
Abstract: An apparatus and method provides is configured such that a
decoded image can be provided that is almost identical to the
original image being encoded. In particular, corrected data of fewer
pixels than the number of pixels for an original image is calculated
by carrying out prescribed calculations using a pixel value for pixels
of each block of the image and mapping coefficients that correspond
to the class of the block. A predicted value for the original image is
then estimated at a local decoder based on the corrected data.
Then, at an error calculator, a prediction error for the original image
for the predicted value is detected. At a mapping setting unit, a
mapping coefficient corresponding to the class of the block is
changed based on this prediction error. By repeating this process,
mapping coefficients occurring when the prediction error is less than
a prescribed threshold value are obtained. The number of pixels in
the encoded image is thus minimized by including mapping
coefficient in place of at least some of the image information.

Abstract: There is disclosed an automotive steering wheel W1 including a heavy air bag system
30. This air bag system 30 is held by a horn-switching mechanism 40. Although the air bag
system 30 is heavy, the operator has a good feel for the operation of the horn-switching
mechanism 40. This horn-switching mechanism 40 comprises a stationary member 41, a
movable member 48, a switch main body 50, coil springs 55, and a jawed bolt 56. The switch
main body 50 comprises a stationary contact 52 mounted on the stationary member 41 and a
movable contact 54 mounted on the movable member 48. The coil springs 55 bias the
movable member 48 upward. The jawed bolt 56 permits the movable member 48 to be
moved toward the stationary member 41 and limits the distance of the movable member 48
from the stationary member 41. At least one of the coil springs 55 is located at a height
substantially equal to the height of the resultant center of gravity G of all components biased
upward by all the coil springs 55.

Title: Bremsbacke für Scheibenbremsen
IPC: F16D69/04
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: Bei bisher bekannten Bremsbelägen für Scheibenbremsen setzen sich diese nach dem
Bremsvorgang nicht kontrolliert zurück und schleifen sich ggf. an der Bremsscheibe
frei. Diese Restmomente führen bei Fahrzeugen zu einem erhöhten Fahrwiderstand
und damit zu einem erhöhten Kraftstoffverbrauch, als auch zu
Scheibenauswaschungen und Geräuscherzeugung. 
Durch die neue Anordnung soll der Kraftstoffverbrauch gesenkt, Geräusche und
Schäden an der Bremsscheibe vermieden werden. 
     Dazu ist im Reibmaterial des Bremsbelages (3) ein kompressibles Gleitelement (4)
eingesetzt, das den Belag aufgrund der höheren Kompressibilität nach Nachlassen
des Bremsdruckes von der Scheibe weg drückt und sich ein definiertes Spiel einstellt. 
     Diese Rückstellelemente sind nachträglich in jede Brems- und
Bremsbelagkonstruktion integrierbar und somit universal an Scheibenbremsen
einsetzbar.

Abstract: A variable assist power steering system (10) uses both
vehicle speed and steering valve inlet pressure to vary the
steering assist provided. A system controller (30) receives
speed and pressure data from sensors (24, 26) and produces a
control signal for an actuator (28) that shunts fluid flow
from the pump (22) to the steering valve (20) thereby
affecting steering valve pressure which controls the rack
piston (16) which changes the angle of the front vehicle
wheels used for steering. The controller (30) employs a
calibration table (32) with entries representing actuator
current, vehicle speed and inlet pressure wherein the speed
and pressure fall into ranges defined by equally spaced
speed points and equally or unequally spaced pressure
points. Having pressure points spaced with a distance
between any two sequential points a power of two in sensor
counts allows manageable bilinear interpolation of current
versus speed and pressure without complicated divide
operators.
