Patent EP-1473612-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TANAKA TOSHIHARU
IPC: G01F1/42
Filed: 2003-02-06
Abstract: A flow regulating valve (11) , which has a valve disk (11b)
operably disposed in a flow channel and is capable of regulating
the flow of fluid according to the valve opening degree of the
valve disk (11b), is characterized by comprising a stress
detecting means (13) for detecting the flow-channel-direction
force component of a load applied to the valve disk by the fluid,
and a valve opening degree detecting means (12) for detecting
the degree of opening of the valve disk. The flow rate
calculating means (14) finds the flow rate (Qm) from the stress
(fm) obtained from the stress detecting means and from the valve
opening degree (m) obtained from the valve opening degree
detecting means. A control means (15) controls a valve disk
driving means (18) on the basis of the flow rate to drive the
valve disk for opening and closing. This makes it possible
to find the flow rate with higher sensitivity and accuracy than
in the prior art, the construction being compact and simple,
providing stabilized data.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'exécuter des ventes aux enchères en ligne et étant conçu particulièrement pour exécuter des affaires en ligne sur un réseau d'ordinateurs, tel que l'Internet, aux fins d'établissement de contrats de fourniture de matériaux. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne la régulation d'un prix minimum pour une offre en ligne. Une vente aux enchères en ligne entre une partie régulatrice et au moins deux participants concurrents comprend les étapes consistant à établir un prix minimum pour la vente aux enchères, à exécuter la vente aux enchères entre les deux parties concurrentes, à déterminer si un déclencheur temporel prédéterminé a été atteint et à suspendre la vente aux enchères si le prix minimum n'a pas été atteint à ce moment là, à déterminer si la partie régulatrice a effectué une sélection pour entrer une phase de négociation facultative du prix minimum et à revoir le prix minimum pour ladite phase et à étendre conformément la vente aux enchères en fonction du prix minimum revu. Lorsque les système et procédé selon l'invention sont appliqués à une vente aux enchères pondérée inversée ou à terme, ils permettent de maintenir une transparence et une intégrité du procédé de négociation en temps réel au-delà de la vente normale et dans une phase d'extension de la vente aux enchères en fonction du prix minimum revu.

Abstract: A method for tuning a filter to a desired frequency using successive approximation. Elements of the filter are selected according to a control code used to vary the filter's oscillation frequency. The control code is set to the middle of the control code range and resulting oscillation frequency is compared to the desired frequency. If the control code needs to be increased, the control code is set to <¾ >of the control code range. If the control code needs to be decreased, the control code is set to <¼> of the control code range. The method continues using successive approximation to determine the value of each bit of the control code. Thus, successive approximation is used to converge on the value of the control code that produces an oscillation frequency of the filter that is closest to the desired frequency (with a maximum error of 1 least significant bit).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, and a program for processing images that can reproduce images in which color tones are preserved even when a luminance signal level is changed by gradation conversion. A Y-matrix unit 112 and a C-matrix unit 113 convert an original color obtained from image-sensing devices 111 to luminance signals and color-difference signals. A gradation-correction unit 114 performs gradation adjustment on luminance signals Y and convert them to luminance signals Y' to be output. The gradation-correction unit 114 further converts the luminance signals Y' to signals Y', which are Y signals according to the XYZ color system, and outputs them to a color-difference correction unit 115. The color-difference correction unit 115 calculates values h1 and h2 corresponding to hue H and chroma C according to the Munsell color system, and calculates X' and Z' according to the XYZ color system after gradation correction so as to preserve the hue H and the chroma C, based on the signals Y', which are Y signals according to the XYZ color system after the gradation adjustment. The present invention can be applied to products for performing digital image processing.
