Patent EP-0902413-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TANAKA HIDENORI
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: This invention is a three-dimensional image drawing apparatus
that comprises a frame buffer for storing display data
corresponding to a display screen in a display apparatus, and a
two-dimensional drawing circuit for performing coordinate
operations in order to draw specific two-dimensional images in
the frame buffer. The apparatus also comprises a Z buffer for
storing depth data in order to perform three-dimensional drawing
to the frame buffer, and a three-dimensional straight line drawing
circuit for making three-dimensional drawings to the frame buffer
based on the depth data stored in the Z buffer. The apparatus
further comprises a memory control circuit for controlling access
to the buffers, and a bit number altering circuit for altering
the number of bits per pixel in the coordinate operations of the
two-dimensional drawing circuit either to a number of bits
corresponding to the drawing data in the frame buffer or to a number
of bits corresponding to the depth data in the Z buffer. 
     The areas of both the frame buffer and Z buffer here are established
in the same physical memory. 
     The bit number altering circuit selectively performs drawing to
the frame buffer and setting of depth data to the Z buffer by the
coordinate operations of the two-dimensional drawing circuit, by 
altering the number of bits per pixel in the coordinate operations
of the two-dimensional drawing circuit.

Abstract: Sorting of table data is enhanced by providing hidden sort keys associated
with table cell data. When table data is displayed, the hidden sort keys are not, but they
may nevertheless be used as a basis for sorting table information. Thus table data may
be presented in a variety of views with alternative arrangements of data, based on whether
each column or row of table data is sorted by content or by the hidden sort key or sorted
in ascending or descending order. The table may selectively be restored to its original
configuration after sorting. Sorting is invoked by interpreting mouse clicks in a header
cell of a table column or row.

Abstract: A stent crimping tool for firmly and uniformly
crimping a stent onto a catheter. The stent crimping tool is
constructed from a base having two vertically extending spaced
apart supports and a coiled tension spring affixed at one end
to a shaft and at the opposite end to one of the vertical
supports. When a stent is loaded onto the balloon portion of
a catheter, and the stent-catheter assembly is inserted into an
axial space within the coiled spring, the user can rotate the
shaft to twist the coiled spring thereby constricting it, and
in turn the constriction of the coiled spring uniformly crimps
the stent onto the balloon catheter.

Abstract: This consists of a sheet (1) provided with the graphic images to
be displayed, complemented with a transparent sheet (2) the surface of
which facing (3) the actual sheet (1) is provided with a succession of
axially juxtaposed semi-cylindrical relieves (4), whereas the opposite
face is totally plane. 
     The display sheet consists of strips with the same breadth as the
optical semi-cylinders with which the transparent sheet is provided. 
     The optical effect caused by the various semi-cylindrical surfaces
and depending upon the viewing angle to the plane of paper, allows one
of the graphic images arranged on the display sheet to be observed and
not so the remainder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring uplink interference in a cellular radio system, and a base station. The base station (BTS) comprises a floating transceiver and/or a transceiver provided with a diversity receiver, the transceivers being used for measuring the uplink interference, i.e., the interference of the traffic coming from a subscriber terminal (MS) to the base station (BTS). The uplink interference was previously measured with a spectrum analyzer at a base station site, which was laborious and expensive. The method and base station of the invention enable the uplink interference measurements to be made with specific equipments in the base station, and separate measurements at the base station site are in this respect no longer required.

Abstract: Four beams are caused to scan a scanning surface
in the main scanning direction in parallel. The beams
expose the target area between two optical sensors, not
the surface of a photosensitive drum, to produce
correction data to correct shifts in the exposure
positions of the four beams in the main scanning
direction with an accuracy of less than a small
fraction of one pixel. On the basis of the correction
data, an actual image formation area is set on the
photosensitive drum. This makes it possible to always
control the relative exposure scanning position
accurately even when the relationship between the main
scanning positions of the light beams is unknown.

Abstract: A lighting module that projects various colors, hues, and intensities of light. The
device includes a light source (10) and a reflector (12) to direct the light along an optic path. A
primary optical element (16) reduces the cross section of effected light regions as the light
enters a filter assembly (18) area in the optic path. Filters (180) in the filter assembly (18) are deployed
in varying combinations and to varying degrees to produce the color, hue, and intensity
of light desired by the user. The refracting action of the optical element (16) allows the filters (180)
to be physically positioned in the optic path but to have no effect on the light until the
filters are rotated so that filter segments (1801) align with optical segments (161), and the filter
changes the light being projected from the lighting module.

Abstract: From a fluctuation of pulse periods of a subject
continuously measured by a pulse period measuring device, a
first pulse period fluctuation signal HFC RR  which
corresponds to a first pulse period fluctuation component
produced in substantial synchronism with a respiration of
the subject and a second pulse period fluctuation signal
LFC RR  which corresponds to a second pulse period fluctuation
component having a predetermined frequency lower than a
frequency of the first pulse period fluctuation component
are extracted by a pulse period fluctuation signal
extracting means. Then, based on a ratio (HFC RR /LFC RR ) of
the first pulse period fluctuation signal HFC RR  to the
second pulse period fluctuation signal LFC RR , an anesthetic
depth of the subject is calculated by an anesthetic depth
calculating means. Thus, the present apparatus can
objectively or quantitatively calculate the anesthetic depth
of the subject. Additionally, the apparatus can accurately
measure the anesthetic depth of the subject without needing
operator's skill or the like.

Abstract: A memory has sense amplifiers that provide data onto
a global data lines that are received by secondary amplifiers.
The sense amplifiers and the secondary amplifiers are

circuits. The programmable delays are programmed by
delay selection circuits that provide a continuous output to
the programmable delay circuits. There are two delay
selection circuits. One is shared by all of the programmable
delay circuits that enable the sense amplifiers, and one is
shared by all of the programmable delay circuits that enable
the secondary amplifiers. The outputs of these two delay
selection circuits are chosen to provide the output which
programs the programmable delay circuits for optimizing
the worst case of the access time of the memory.
