Patent EP-1190807-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AOTA KINYA
IPC: B23K101/04
Filed: 1997-03-19
Abstract: This invention provides a configuration of a joint that allows a
satisfactory welded joint to be formed with reduced deformation of
the joint region when two-face structures (panels) are friction-welded
end to end. The panels 31, 32 each have two substantially parallel
plates 33, 34 and a third member 35 connecting the two plates 33, 34.
The end portions of the plates 33, 34 of one panel 32 are friction-welded
to the end portions of the plates 33, 34 of the other panel 32.
At least one of the panels has a plate 36 at its end for connecting the
plates 33 and 34 and has a rigidity to support a pressing force
produced during the friction welding.

Abstract: An airborne platform comprising: (a) an aerodynamic body; (b) a
protected element within the aerodynamic body; and (c) a cover, reversibly
secured to the aerodynamic body, for protecting the protected element from an
external atmosphere. The present invention is particularly suited for an electro-optical
detection system equipped with an optical dome or window. Optical
windows carried on airborne platforms are known to be particularly sensitive to
the high temperatures generated by air friction at super-sonic speeds. By
covering such a window when the airborne platform is in flight, and releasing
the cover just before use, the electro-optical detection system equipped with the
optical window can be made operative, even at airborne platform speeds of
several Mach and higher.

Abstract: A coarsely estimated object boundary (126) is formed by a sequence of edge
boundary points. A local affine transformation along the estimated object boundary is
identified (102) by analyzing edge energy of a current image frame. A sequence (83-115)
of edge boundary points which have edge energy change ratios exceeding a
threshold value is identified as a local affine transformation. A refined estimate of the
object boundary is determined for the local affine transformation using a local
segmentation process based on a key contour point search strategy (130). End points
of the contour are assumed to be known. An initial key contour point is derived from
the coarsely estimate object boundary. Candidate key points then are derived (131) and
corresponding curves analyzed (132) to select (138) a curve as the improved estimated
boundary for the local affine transformation. The curve having a minimum average
edge energy change ratio is selected (140).

Abstract: An on-vehicle apparatus communicates with an
electronic key by wireless communication. The
one-vehicle apparatus decides to unlock a vehicular
door according to an identification result between
first ID of the electronic key and unlock-operation
ID of the on-vehicle apparatus, and decides to start
an engine of the vehicle according to an

Abstract: A transmitter for transmitting a high frequency transmit signal generates a low intermediate frequency quadrature signal, and up-converts the low intermediate frequency quadrature signal to the high frequency transmit signal. The frequency spectrum of the high frequency transmit signal has a transmit band and a sideband corresponding to the transmit band. The transmit band is confined to a total transmit band outside of which severe sideband filtering requirements.apply. Before up-converting, the transmitter provides that the sideband falls at a side of the transmit band such that the sideband falls within the total transmit band.

Abstract: A CDMA mobile communication system determines the number of input information bits (5 bit) and the number of symbols to be punctured, and encodes/decodes the input information bits (5bits). A transmitter encodes the input information bits into 16 coded symbols with a first order Reed-Muller code, and punctures four coded symbols from the 16 coded symbols so as to generate a codeword having the minimum distance. A receiver then receives punctured coded symbols, i.e., the codeword, and inserts zero (0) bits at the punctured positions. Further, the receiver calculates reliabilities between the zero-inserted coded symbols with all of first order Reed-Muller codewords, and outputs input information bits for the coded symbols corresponding to the highest reliability.

Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: An axial piston pump with center inlet fill utilizes a hydrostatic
thrust bearing and a hydrodynamic journal bearing to support a rotating wobble
type drive plate connected to a drive shaft. The rotation of the drive plate causes
a plurality of parallel pistons to reciprocate up and down. The pumping
chambers of a portion of the pistons are fluidly connected via a center fill passage
to the inlet defined by the pump housing. Simultaneously, the pumping chambers
of a different portion of the pistons are fluidly connected to the outlet via a high
pressure actuation fluid outlet passage. The center fill passage exploits
centrifugal forces to assist, rather than resist, the supply of low pressure fluid to
the pistons, especially when rotating at higher speeds.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optical fiber device (10) such as a
modulator, variable attenuator or tunable filter including an optical fiber having a core
region (12), a cladding layer (14) around the core region, and a controllable active
material (18) disposed in, for example, capillaries (16) or rings (24) formed the
cladding layer. The active materials include, for example, electro-optic material,
magneto-optic material, photorefractive material, thermo-optic material and/or
materials such as laser dyes that provide tunable gain or loss. The application of, for
example, temperature, light or an electric or magnetic field varies optical properties of
the active material, which, in turn, varies or affects the propagation properties of
optical signals in the device. The optical device includes a tapered region (22) that
causes the core mode to spread into the cladding region and, simultaneously, allows
the active material to be relatively close to the propagated modes, thus allowing
interaction between the active material and the propagating modes.
