Patent EP-0822541-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01R33/09
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: A self-biasing, non-magnetic giant magnetoresistive sensor constructed from a
thin film of inhomogeneous magnetoresistive material showing Giant Magnetresistance
(GMR) at T = 300°K, e.g., Mercury Cadmium Telluride. In one embodiment, the sensor
has a silicon substrate (100), a layer of inhomogeneous magnetoresistive material
(110), e.g., Hg 1-x Cd x Te,
and electrodes (120,130) attached to the non-homogeneous magnetoresistive layer.
Alternatively, a buffer layer of, e.g., CdTe may overlay the substrate. In another
embodiment, the sensor is an active element of a read/write head, particularly well suited
for reading information signals stored in a magnetic medium.

Abstract: A catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas includes a substrate, a catalyst carrier
layer, a catalyst ingredient, and a hydrocarbons supplier. The catalyst carrier layer is
formed on the substrate. The catalyst ingredient is loaded on the catalyst carrier
layer. The hydrocarbons supplier is disposed in the substrate, and supplies
supplementary hydrocarbons into the catalyst carrier layer so as to securely react the
supplementary hydrocarbons with NO x  included in an exhaust gas. Hence, the catalyst
can purify not only CO but also NO x  over a wide temperature range.

Abstract: A device suited for dispensing a dental substance comprises a cartridge 20 for receiving the substance, with a curved dispensing nozzle 22 disposed at the front end and a flange 21 of octagonal cross-section provided at the rear end of the cartridge. The flange 21 serves to engage a slide-in socket 16 of an applicator 10 which includes a piston rod 12 for advancing a dispensing piston 23 disposed in the cartridge 20. In the retracted position of the piston rod 12, the cartridge 20 may be laterally inserted into the slide-in socket 16 of the applicator 10. The socket has two parallel walls spaced by a distance which is between the largest and the smallest diameter of the octagonal flange 21. The material of the flange 21 and/or the material forming the slide-in socket 16 is resilient so that the cartridge 20 may be stepwise rotated about the axis of the piston rod 12 with respect to the applicator 10 without requiring the piston rod 12 to be withdrawn and the cartridge 20 to be removed from the slide-in socket and re-inserted in a new orientation.

Abstract: A self-testing data communications system
suitable for use with an alarm system. In a first aspect
the communications system is capable of modifying an
operational parameter such as the input signal
sensitivity of a receiver located at a monitoring station
during receipt of a supervision signal from a remote
alarm device, in order to ensure that a non-supervision
alarm signal will be properly received when the
operational parameter is again returned to its normal
state. In a second aspect, the receiving element of the
communications system is capable of receiving the message
simultaneously at two different sensitivity levels, and
during a supervision message, the lower sensitivity path
is used in order to ensure that non-supervision alarm
messages are received with an adequate signal margin. In
a third aspect, the receiving element of the
communications system is capable of measuring the signal
strength (RSSI) of the received message signal and
comparing it, if it is a supervision message, to a
predetermined threshold value. When the supervision RSSI
signal is above the threshold, the received message is
passed to the control as being validly received; when the
supervision RSSI signal is not above the threshold, then
the message is ignored.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a hand gesture
recognizing device which can correctly recognize hand gestures
at high speed without requiring users to be equipped with some
tools. A gesture of a user is stereoscopically filmed by a
photographing device 1 and then stored in an image storage device
2. A feature image extracting device 3 transforms colors of the
stereoscopic image data read from the image storage device 2 in
accordance with color transformation tables created by a color
transformation table creating device 13, and disassembles and
outputs the feature image of the user in corresponding channels.
A spatial position calculating device 4 calculates spatial
positions of feature parts of the user by utilizing parallax of
the feature image outputted from the feature image extracting
device 4. A region dividing device 5 defines the space around
the user with spatial region codes. A hand gesture detecting
device 6 detects how the hands of the user move in relation to
the spatial region codes. A category is detected first on the
basis of the detected hand gesture, and then a sign language word
in that category is specified.
