Patent EP-0806644-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MARCHANT BRENT R
IPC: G01L11/00
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A device and method for detecting pressure changes in a
pressurized vessel (10), such as a gas storage bottle of an
inflator of a vehicle restraint system. At least two
reference marks (12) are positioned on an outside surface
(14) of the vessel for indicating the pressure in the vessel.
The marks are spaced apart on the surface by a predetermined
distance. The predetermined distance can be measured at
intervals, and correlated to determine changes in the
pressure of the vessel. The references marks can be
physical, i.e., paint or scratch marks, or magnetic, such as
a magnetic bar or stripe. The physical marks can be read by
an optical laser and the magnetic marks by a magnetic head,
such as a floppy or hard disk drive, or a CD-ROM.

Abstract: A printing apparatus comprises an input unit (200) comprising
a panel input and display apparatus (206), an outside
memory apparatus (207) or RAM (203) for receiving the
printing information, which is then transmitted from a communication
line (300) to the printing unit (100) through an
interface (210). The printing data received through an interface
(108) is stored in a battery backup RAM (104), is
read out according to an indication of MPU (101) and
printed by a printing head (110). For the communication between
the printing unit (100) and the input unit (200), a
public radio or wire line communication is used. Since the
printing apparatus is divided functionary into the input
unit (200) and the printing unit (100) and the two units
are separated, a freedom degree in a layout in the printing
apparatus can be improved and an assembling of the printing
apparatus to other apparatus can be performed easily.

Abstract: With an index that represents the content of a message,
a communication band is assigned. At this point,
communication bands are managed as fixed bands and variable
bands. An index is used to secure a fixed band when the
transmission a data flow corresponding to a communication
request is started. In addition, an index is used to
coordinate variable bands. Thus, priority levels of
communication requests are objectively designated
corresponding to the contents of communication requests and
features of mediums. In the case that a fixed band and a
variable band are secured, when a function for scheduling
and reserving communication resources for communication
requests is accomplished, priority levels are objectively
designated with an index.

Abstract: A head tracking stereoscopic display has a first combining
light source composed of two line-shaped light sources and a
second combining light source composed of two line-shaped
light sources. The first combining light source is used when
the head of a viewer is shifted by the distance between the eyes

and the second combining light source is used when the head
of the viewer is shifted by the distance between the eyes E in
the horizontal direction on the basis of a position shifted by
E/2 from the certain position. When the first combining light
source is selected, the two line-shaped light sources in the
first combining light source are alternately turned on and off.
When the second combining light source is selected, the two
line-shaped light sources in the second combining light source
are alternately turned on and off. A right eye image and a left
eye image are alternately displayed in synchronization with
the alternate ON/OFF on an image display panel. Such control
as to change the timing at which images are alternately
displayed and such control as to select the combining light
source are suitably carried out on the basis of information
relating to the head position from the head position detection
means.

Abstract: The elapsed time Ta(i) of a 30° crank angle near top
dead center of compression and the elapsed time Tb(i) of
a 30° crank angle near 90° after top dead center of
compression are found. The difference DTa(i) of the
elapsed times Ta(i) between 720° crank angle for a first
cylinder and a second cylinder performing combustion
after the first cylinder is found. The assumed elapsed
time when assuming that there is no torque fluctuation is
calculated from the difference DTa(i) of the elapsed time
of the first cylinder and the elapsed time of the second
cylinder is calculated and the assumed elapsed time is
used to calculate the basic amount of torque fluctuation.
A set value is found based on the engine speed. The set
value represents a deviation of the basic amount of
torque fluctuation due to the detection error of the
elapsed time, and due to the torsional vibration of the
engine drive system and the torsional vibration of the
crankshaft. The set value is subtracted from the basic
amount of torque fluctuation to calculate the amount of
torque fluctuation. The air-fuel ratio is controlled
based on the amount of torque fluctuation.

Abstract: To process a plurality of types of information having different
priority according to the priority, multiple logical channels are
generated by combining a protocol in a transport layer of a network
and a print queue in an application layer and priority is allocated
to each logical channel. A host computer sends generated information
to a predetermined logical channel by referring to a priority table.
A printer discriminates the priority of received information by
referring to a priority table and executes the processing of the
information according to the priority. As a result, interrupt print
data can be processed prior to normal print data or a control command
can be processed prior to than print data.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices are imaged using two-photon absorption. The
method is similar to conventional optical beam induced imaging except that the light
beams used have frequencies (f 2 ) (photon energies hf 2 ) insufficient to excite electrons
across the semiconductor bandgap (30). Rather the instantaneous intensity of the lower
frequency light is increased, as by using a pulsed laser source, so that electron
transitions occur by two-photon absorption (35,36) predominately in the localized
region where the beam is focused. The result is minimal absorption during passage
through the substrate and maximal absorption in the component-rich active layer where
the beam is focused. This enhances imaging of fine-detail semiconductor devices.
Specifically, the quadratic dependence of free carrier generation on the excitation
intensity both enhances the resolution and provides a three-dimensional sectioning
capability.

Abstract: A guide of a broadcasting program with a computer software
product, in which a transmission start time, a name of the
broadcasting program, a name of the computer software product,
a version number of the computer software product and a
terminal type required of a terminal are listed, is
transmitted from a center station to each terminal. Also,
files of the computer software product are transmitted from
the center station to each terminal with video-audio data of
the broadcasting program at the transmission start time. In
each terminal, a particular terminal type of the terminal and
a particular version number of the computer software product
downloaded in the terminal are managed. In cases where the
particular terminal type of the terminal agrees with the
terminal type listed in the guide and the particular version
number of the computer software product is higher than the
version number listed in the guide, the downloading of the
computer software product is judged, and the computer software
product is downloaded to the terminal at the transmission
start time. Accordingly, the computer software product can be
downloaded to user's terminal without requiring a special
frequency band used only for the computer software product.
Also, because the computer software product received in the
terminal is updated, the user can always execute the updated
computer software product.
