Abstract: Lorsqu'une défaillance d'un quelconque des trois dispositifs d'actionnement du plateau cyclique d'un rotor d'hélicoptère est détectée, la position du plateau est verrouillée et mesurée. La position collective de commande du plateau cyclique entrée, la position commandée en rotation suivant l'axe des x du plateau cyclique et la position commandée en rotation suivant l'axe des y du plateau cyclique sont alors fournies à la matrice de correction de la défaillance. La matrice de correction de la défaillance permet le calcul des positions commandées des deux dispositifs d'actionnement du plateau cyclique en état de fonctionnement pour que la commande de l'attitude de l'aéronef soit maintenue. Ces deux positions commandées des dispositifs d'actionnement du plateau cyclique déterminent le mouvement de positionnement du plateau cyclique du rotor pour assurer la position en rotation suivant l'axe des x du plateau cyclique et la position en rotation suivant l'axe des y du plateau cyclique, qui vont assurer le maintien de l'attitude. Un correcteur de position collective approchée calcule la position collective approchée du plateau cyclique découlant du maintien de l'attitude de l'aéronef. Le correcteur de position collective du plateau cyclique produit alors une montée du rotor qui peut être réalisée avec un changement de vitesse du rotor calculé pour compenser toute différence entre la position collective commandée du plateau cyclique et la position collective approchée du plateau cyclique. Une commande en boucle fermée de la vitesse verticale affine le changement prédit de vitesse du rotor qui est à faire pour corriger la perte de commande collective.

Abstract: One or more press cylinders are driven individually or in groups by motors with regulators functioning in response to signals from an angular-position emitter. The corrector unit (7) is connected between the emitter (6) and regulator (3), and converts the actual position values (LI) from the emitter into modified ones (LI'), in response to which the position of the cylinder (1) is regulated. The unit can be a storage one for the actual and modified values, or alternatively a computer calculating the modified values from the actual ones. Modification can be dependent on actual printing requirements. A value representing the speed of the drive mechanism can also be fed to the corrector unit, modification of the actual-position values being dependent on this value.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a laser light generating apparatus capable of minimizing loss in a resonator to give a high efficiency of wavelength conversion. A resonator comprises two reflecting mirrors (1, 2) arranged in linear relationship and a non-linear optical crystal (3) disposed in the resonator. The non-linear optical crystal (3) is formed in a trapezoid shape so that a pair of input and output sides opposite to each other are tilted with respect to the optical propagation axis. The fundamental laser light is introduced along the optical propagation axis into the optical resonator, converted to a second harmonic by the non-linear crystal (3), and released outside from the reflecting mirror (2). It is made possible to adjust the beam diameter and convergence angle of the laser light on the light incidence plane(Y-Z plane) when the laser light passes the input and output sides of the non-linear optical crystal (3). For example, the incident plane is made to be consistent with a plane where the acceptance angle of the non-linear optical crystal (3) is limited to a small degree, thus increasing the efficiency of wavelength conversion.

Abstract: A read circuit includes a driver which changes a gate voltage of a memory cell and a sense circuit which identifies when the memory cell trips. The driver searches for the threshold voltage of the memory cell using stages which ramp up gate voltage and stages which ramp down the gate voltage. Each stage ends when the sense circuit senses that the memory cell trips, i.e. begins or stops conducting. Initial stages of the search have high ramp rates so that the gate voltage reaches the threshold voltage. These initial stages can give inaccurate threshold voltage readings because high ramp rates change the gate voltage during the period between the transistor tripping and sensing the trip. Later stages ramp the gate voltage slowly to provide an accurate threshold voltage reading. The low ramp rate of the last stage provides accuracy, and the high ramp rate of the initial stages reduces read time. To further reduce read time, the search process can begin at a median voltage for possible threshold voltages.

Abstract: An image signal playback time changing method which causes a
synchronization signal generating device (16)
to generate a plurality of synchronization
signals which have field frequencies which differ from a predetermined absolute
standard synchronization signal based on a playback speed control signal. One of the
above mentioned synchronization signals is provided as an outer standard signal to a
modification digital video tape player (17)
to change the playback speed of an image signal
recorded in a video recording medium (13).
A field frequency converting device (19) causes
the field frequency of the playback image signal from the
playback device (17) to equal
the frequency of the predetermined absolute standard synchronization signal. As a
result, this image signal playback time changing method can change the playback time
of the image signal recorded in the video recording medium (13)

Abstract: A system of detecting a motion vector for an object block in a current
frame of an orthogonally transformed video with respect to a stored reference
frame. The motion victor is detected by: extracting a predetermined pattern of
lower frequency components from the object block; orthogonally inverse
transform the extracted lower frequency components within the pattern to
yield the pattern of pixel data; searching the reference frame for a block having
a maximum correlation with the pattern of pixel data; and calculating the
motion vector from the object block to the block having a maximum correlation.
As an orthogonal transform, DCT (discrete cosine transform) is preferable.
Creating a row and a column image comprising sums obtained by adding all
the pixels in each column and each row of the object block and applying the
above searching and calculating process to the row and the column image
enables the motion vector detection from a normal or noncompressed video.
