Abstract: In a vehicle radar device, a predetermined number of received light signals output based on a predetermined number of laser beams radiated from a radar sensor are integrated by an integrator to produce an integrated signal. Integration of the predetermined number of received light signals helps amplify the received light signal components corresponding to the waves reflected by reflecting objects, making it possible to improve the sensitivity for detecting the waves reflected by the reflecting object. There are set a plurality of ranges of the received light signals to be integrated, each being shifted by one received light signal.      This minimizes a drop in the angular resolution based on the integrated signals.

Abstract: Système de communication inter-puces ne transférant des signaux au-delà des limites de la puce qu'en cas de modification de la valeur des signaux. De cette manière, aucun signal n'est gaspillé et chaque signal d'événement a une chance d'être transmis au-delà de la limite. Le système comprend une série de détecteurs (3062, 3063, 3064) d'événements qui détecte les modifications de valeur des signaux, et des ordonnanceurs (3036, 3037, 3038) de paquets qui peuvent ensuite ordonnancer le transfert des valeurs modifiées de signaux vers une autre puce désignée. Fonctionnant avec une pluralité de groupes de signaux qui représentent des signaux à des connexions séparées, les détecteurs (3062, 3063, 3064) d'événements détectent des événements ou modifications des valeurs des signaux. Lorsqu'un événement ou qu'une modification de signal a été détecté(e), le détecteur d'événements alerte l'ordonnanceur (3036, 3037, 3038) de paquets. L'ordonnanceur de paquets utilise un système en anneau à jeton. Quand l'ordonnanceur reçoit un jeton et détecte un événement, l'ordonnanceur de paquets saisit le jeton et ordonnance la transmission de ce paquet dans le cycle de paquets suivant. Mais si l'ordonnanceur de paquets reçoit le jeton sans avoir détecté d'événement, il passe le jeton à l'ordonnanceur suivant. A la fin de chaque cycle de paquets, l'ordonnanceur de paquets qui a saisi le jeton passe celui-ci à la logique suivante associée à un autre paquet.

Title: Electronic correction device for optical distortions in a collimated imaging obtained from a matrix display
Inventor: ROLS OLIVIER
IPC: G02B27/02
Filed: 2003-05-27
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic correction device for optical distortions in a collimation and superimposition lens system where the display is of the matrix type. The invention is based upon generating said corrections in the display by associating each display pixel with the same number of image pixels in each image source for display, the addresses for the pixels of the image sources being calculated from the addresses of the pixels of the display and with application thereto of the function of the optical distortion in the lens system. The calculation of the addresses and the photometric values for the display pixels is carried out in an address calculation unit and an interpolation unit. The invention is essentially for application in head-up visualisation equipment or in helmets used in civil and military aircraft with a matrix display device, particularly with liquid crystals. Said device is equally applicable to monochrome and colour displays.

Title: Real time control of hardware and software via communications network
Inventor: ROSSI MAURO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-11-21
Abstract: A Hard Real Time Control Center (HRTCC), comprised of hardware, software and firmware, with time synchronisation and time delay compensation methodologies that allows Application Hardware and/or User Input Devices to be networked together on any communications network as if there were negligible network delays in the system, is disclosed. This will allow Application Hardware and/or User Input Devices (connected to an HRTCC at one location (node) on the network) to control or operate Application Hardware and/or User Input Devices connected to another HRTCC at a remote location without the detrimental effects of network time delays. The time synchronisation of the various HRTCCs on the network can be enabled using hardware (e.g. a global positioning system (GPS)) or any other software method (e.g. Network Time Protocol). Using time stamps from the time synchronisation, the time delay of the signals (data) transferred over the network can be determined. The main embodiment of the time delay compensation methodology is an estimator/predictor algorithm. The estimator generates signal information that allows the predictor, using the time delay, to project the signal information characteristics into the future by an amount equal to the time delay. If this predicted signal is used rather than the delayed signal, there will be no readily apparent time delay in the system thereby significantly improving the stability and performance of the associated application. Any software architecture can be used such as servant-client, token ring or peer to peer.

Title: Hazardous waste treatment method and apparatus
Inventor: CHAN BENJAMIN CHUN PONG
IPC: F23G5/08
Filed: 2003-05-06
Abstract: An apparatus and method for treating the off-gas byproduct of a waste treatment system using a plasma torch. The off-gas of a graphite electrode plasma arc furnace includes carbon black or soot which must be removed. The plasma torch employs a carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture as a working gas to avoid the creation of nitrogen oxides and other toxic by-products. The plasma torch ionizes the working gas, resulting in the creation of carbon monoxide and reactive oxygen, which assists in eliminating carbon black/soot from the off-gas. Oxygen and steam are atomized and injected into the chamber housing the plasma torch system. A process control feedback system monitors the content of the output gas and controls the operation of the injectors and the plasma torch.
