Inventor: ZUERCHER RALF
IPC: G07C3/10
Filed: 1998-06-27
Abstract: The system is designed so that each employee has an identification card (1). Handheld devices (2,2') each contain readers (7) for the identification cards as well as a clock, a data memory for information like names, project numbers or item costs, also a data processor. These devices store data read by the identification card and link it up with the clock time and data records of events. Terminals (3,3') with bidirectional interfaces (11,11') facilitate data exchange between each terminal (3,3') and handheld devices. A stationary data processing unit (5,6) is linked to the terminals via data lines (4). Handheld devices, terminals and data processing unit are all configured, so that data records of events stored in handheld devices after reading an identification card are uploaded from handheld devices to terminals and stored there meanwhile.

Abstract: The anti-theft device includes a GPS unit (2), a control unit (3), a memory unit (4), an alarm unit (5) and a receiver (8) and transmitter (6). The transmitter transmits the position of the object as detected by the GPS unit to a host computer (7), while the control unit stores this position in the memory unit. The host computer compares the position with a pre-set movement range, and transmits an alarm to the receiver when the range is exceeded. A power supply (10) is provided in the object, and is not accessible from outside. A motion detector (11) is arranged in or on the object. The control unit activates the motion detector when there is no connection between the host computer and the receiver and when no position detection is possible by the GPS unit. The control unit simultaneously deactivates anti-theft units to reduce power consumption. Existing ABS sensors may be used for motion detection.

Abstract: An information providing system is mainly configured by a terminal
and an information storage equipment. The terminal is manipulated by a
user to issue an information obtainment request, wherein it has a specific
output condition, which is defined by a picture output function and/or a
sound output function. The information storage equipment extracts a
number of digital information elements to suit the information obtainment
request, so that the digital information elements are synthesized together
into digital information in accordance with a default (information)
providing manner, which represents a specific display screen whose screen
size and layout are determined in advance. Then, the digital information
is transmitted to the terminal, which in turn provides the user with content
of the digital information by using pictures and/or sounds. If the default
providing manner does not match with the output function of the terminal,
the information storage equipment changes the default providing manner
by one of change methods, which is selected in consideration of the preset
priority. Thus, the digital information elements are synthesized together
into the digital information in accordance with the changed providing
manner. Incidentally, if the terminal does not have a necessary software
module required for outputting the digital information, the terminal
downloads it from its resource.

Abstract: The method is used to portray computer modelled objects provided in the form of a grating model and defined by several bounding polygonal surfaces. Several first coordinate sets are calculated from a predetermined first parameter set representing the spatial position of respective polygon surfaces. The coordinate sets represent the spatial position of a respective raster element of the respective polygonal surfaces. Second coordinate sets are calculated from the first parameter set representing the spatial position of respective polygon surfaces for each raster element. The second coordinate set represents the spatial position of the local surface normals (N). A second parameter set representing the spatial position and the optical properties of a first light source, as well as the first and second coordinate sets and a third parameter set reproducing the position of a virtual viewer are used to calculate a first image information value representing a local light model. The derived value reproduces an image impression of the respective raster element from the perspective of the viewer. A two dimensional image coordinate set is calculated from the first coordinate set for representation on a screen. A first address value is then calculated. This is used to address a memory location of a first memory matrix. A second information value reproducing the image impression of the surroundings from a given perspective is read out from the addresses memory location. A third image value is calculated from the first and second values to take into account both the local light model and also the reflections of the surroundings and to control the screen (13).

Abstract: Hierarchical coding may be performed without the need
to employ a circuit for a line delay, in addition to a
memory for storing an image. An address providing circuit
(1) provides a 9-bit horizontal address and a 9-bit
vertical address to a first layer memory (2) while also
providing, to a second layer memory (3), the eight higher
order bits of the horizontal address and the vertical
address without the remaining least significant bits. As
a result, at the timing that each of the pixels in the
first layer is written on each of addresses (2s,2t),
(2s+1,2t), (2s,2t+1) and (2s+1,2t+1) in the first layer
memory (2), the same address (s,t) in the second layer
memory (3) is accessed. Taking advantage of this, a
read-modify-write circuit (5) determines the sum of the
storage values at the addresses (2s,2t), (2s+1,2t),
(2s,2t+1), and (2s+1,2t+1) in the first layer memory (2)
and writes the sum on to the address (s,t) in the second
layer memory (3).

Abstract: In a battery pack made up of battery cells encased within a housing made up
of a stronger outer housing portion and a weaker inner housing portion, the battery
cells are secured to the stronger outer housing portion. Advantageously, the relative
motion between the battery cells and the stronger of the housing portions that results
when prior art battery packs are dropped, and which causes catastrophic failure of
the prior art battery packs, is prevented. The battery cells may be secured to the
stronger outer housing portion, for example, by gluing the battery cells to the
stronger housing portion, attaching the battery cells to the stronger housing portion
by using double-sided sticky tape, molding features into the stronger housing portion
that immobilize the battery cells adjacent to the stronger housing portion, or
providing screw holes through the stronger housing portion so that screws may
engage the battery cell or an appendage thereto.
