Abstract: A compact high resolution omnidirectional or panoramic viewer has several cameras
with a common virtual optical center. The field of view of each of the cameras is arranged to
form a continuous 360 degree view of an area when taken as a whole. The cameras are
positioned so that they each view a different reflective surface of a polyhedron such as a pyramid.
This results in each camera having a virtual optical center positioned within the pyramid. The
cameras may be positioned so that their virtual optical centers are offset from each other. The
offsets produce narrow blind regions that remove image distortions received from the edges of
the pyramid's reflective surfaces. The reflective pyramids may be stacked base to base or nested
within each other to produce a more compact panoramic viewer. Using two or more reflective
pyramids in such close proximity permits using many cameras with the same virtual optical
center. Using many cameras divides a large viewing area into many smaller areas where an
individual camera views each smaller area. Since each camera views a smaller area, increased
resolution is provided to the user. The pyramids are mounted to a post that passes through their
vertices, and the cameras are secured to the portion of the post extending out of the vertices.

Abstract: A novel aluminum die-cast material having all good
properties of high fluidity, good corrosion resistance and high
mechanical strength is disclosed. As its Mg content, a factor
to increase mechanical strength, is increased to fall between
0.4 and 0.6 % by weight, the material has good mechanical
properties. As its Cu content, a factor to cause corrosion, is
reduced to at most 0.15 % by weight, the material has good
corrosion resistance to seawater. As its Si content, a factor
to increase casting fluidity, is increased to fall between 10.0
and 11.5 % by weight, the material has good fluidity.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit and a method for measuring the
characteristics of a semiconductor integrated circuit are disclosed, which need the
minimum test terminals for measuring the characteristics of a plurality of devices to be
measured, so as to easily form the necessary terminals in a peripheral area of the chip,
and which do not need an external control device for controlling the generation of the
selection address signals. The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises elements to
be measured (11); characteristic measurement terminals (13) for measuring the
characteristics of the elements; and a control section for outputting a selection address
signal for selectively connecting each element to be measured to the characteristic
measurement terminals. Typically, the control section is a counter which is driven by a
scanning signal used in the characteristic measurement and which automatically
generates the selection address signal.

Abstract: A method for measuring the torque in a shaft 10
using the acousto-elastic effect. An electromagnetic
acoustic transducer (EMAT) 14 generates two
orthogonal wave pulses 5 which propagate along the
surface of the shaft at ± 45° to the shaft's
longitudinal axis 4 and are detected by a second
EMAT 16. The two waves travel along the lines of
principal tensile 1 and compressive 2 stress and
their velocity is therefore affected by applied
torque such that the difference in their velocity is
a measurement of the torque applied to the shaft 10.

determining a desired engine brake torque and modifying the
desired engine brake torque based on current engine
operating conditions to determine a requested engine brake
torque prior to determination of control parameters,

Abstract: Die Erfindung umfasst Verfahren, Primer und Hybridisationssonden zur Identifizierung von Organismen durch vergleichende genetische Analyse, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass man kodierende, nichtkodierende Bereiche und/oder funktionell bedeutende Bereiche von hochkonservierten Genen, Pseudogenen oder Homologen mit Hilfe der PCR amplifiziert und nachfolgend genotypisiert und analysiert. Der Vergleich von kodierenden und nicht kodierenden Bereichen von hochkonservierten Genen, Pseudogenen oder Homologen gewährleistet, dass ein einziges Oligonukleotidpaar an DNA-Sequenzen, die zwischen verschiedenen Spezies hochgradig konserviert sind, bindet und damit die Amplifikation eines für alle Spezies identischen Genabschnitts erlaubt. Die Oligonukleotide schliessen einen oder mehrere Genbereiche ein, die zwischen verschiedenen Spezies möglichst grosse Sequenzunterschiede aufweisen. Die Bestimmung der Gensequenz dieses hochgradig polymorphen Bereichs in einem darauf folgenden Reaktionsschritt erlaubt es, die Gensequenz einer spezifischen Spezies zuzuordnen. In besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvarianten der Erfindung wurden Oligonukleotidpaare gefunden, die die Amplifikation des hochkonservierten Tumorsuppressorgens PTEN/MMAC1, seines Pseudogens und ihrer Homologen ermöglicht.

Abstract: Charged particles (21) suspended in a medium (20) such as FluorinertTM Electronic Liquid are used to electrophoretically control total internal reflection (TIR) at a retro-reflective surface formed on a high refractive index material. Prismatic structures (35, 32, 81) redirect ambient light from an overhead light source toward a display image and then from the image to the region in front of the image, yielding a high contrast reflective display. A transparent planar waveguide (36) front lights the display with sequential flashes of red, blue and green light to generate a full colour display. TIR can also be controlled at retro-reflective surfaces by means of a vapour-liquid phase transition, or by changing the absorption coefficient of a material using electrical, chemical and/or electrochemical methods.

Abstract: Cracking or the like is prevented from being formed in an
outer wall (302) of a container (310) of a closed battery
module (300) whose internal space is divided by partitions
(312). Each partition (312) dividing the internal space of
the container (310) of the closed battery module (300) is
provided with a deformable portion that deforms before a
stress greater than an allowable value is caused in a
container outer wall (302) by load applied to the container
(310). When a load is applied to the module container
(310), the partitions (312) dividing the container (310)
internal space restrict deformation of the container outer
walls (302), so that great stress is likely to occur in the
outer walls (302). However, as the deformable portion of a
partition deforms due to such load, the stress caused in
the container outer walls (302) decreases, so that
formation of a crack or the like in the container outer
walls (302) becomes less likely.

Abstract: To achieve QoS control, drop control and multicast
control of a variable-length packet at high speed in
small scale hardware, a packet divider divides a
variable-length packet into fixed-length packets, and an
input buffer section stores the divided fixed-length
packets into queues by output lines and by QoS classes.
A large number of QoS classes are mapped into only two
kinds of classes including a guaranteed bandwidth class
for which an assigned bandwidth is guaranteed and a best
effort class for which a surplus bandwidth is allocated,
thereby to achieve scheduling at the input side by an
inter-line scheduler. An output buffer section assembles
a variable-length packet from fixed-length packets that
have been obtained by switching at a switch section in an
output buffer section. A QoS control is performed based
on a packet length.
