IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: A fingerprint input apparatus includes a light source (2) for emitting
light and a fiber optic plate(3) having a finger contact surface with which a
finger(1)is brought into contact in order to pick up a fingerprint image of the
finger(1). The light from the light source(2)is at first introduced into an
inside of the finger(1), is scattered within the inside of the finger(1), and
comes out of the finger through the surface of the finger(1)as outgoing light.
By the use of the outgoing light, the fingerprint image is formed. The light
source(2)is disposed so that the light from the light source(2)enters into a
substantial center of a part of the finger(1)including a first joint on a palm
side and that the light source(2)is contacted with the finger(1).

Abstract: Monitor circuitry (12; 130) for identifying an operational status of
a device under test (DUT) (14) indudes a comparison circuit (40; 132) and a
sense amplifier (42; 134). The comparison circuit comprises a set of control
transistors (46 and 48; 138 and 140) and a set of sense transistors (44 and
50; 136 and 142). The control transistors include control input terminals (62
and 64) for receiving reference signals to establish a testing condition with
respect to a signal relationship between a first current flow (I 1 ) and a second
current flow (I 2 ). The sense transistors are operatively associated with the
control transistors, such that biasing the sense input terminals (66 and 68) of
the sense transistors with sampled signals received from the DUT varies the
signal relationship between the first current flow and the second current flow.
The variation in the signal relationship is accelerated by the sense amplifier.
The variation in the signal relationship is indicative of the operational status of
the DUT at the sampling instance (78 and 116) for acquiring the sampled
signals.

Abstract: An impact energy transmitting arrangement (10) for transmitting energy, which arises
during impact between a vehicle (12) on which the arrangement (10) is mounted and a
foreign body, to a vehicle structure (14). The arrangement includes first means (18)
displaceable in a first direction, and second means (20) adapted for co-operation with the
first means. The first and second means are operable such that the arrangement, below a
first predetermined value of a parameter representative of the energy to be transmitted,
presents a first resistance-to-displacement value and, above the first predetermined value,
presents a second resistance-to-displacement value. The first resistance-to-displacement
value is greater than the second resistance-to-displacement value. In this manner, a
bumper assembly which is stiff at very low speeds is rendered less stiff at higher speeds
which otherwise could cause injury to pedestrians.

Abstract: A method and system for determining the position of a movable member in an electronic input device within a predefined resolution. Two offset signals indicate the position of the movable member. The time required for each signal to cross a threshold level is measured and inverted, revealing an offset sinusoidal relationship. The offset sinusoids may be plotted against each other to reveal an approximate circle of inverse time samples for a cycle. Corresponding inverted minimum and maximum times are used to determine a center reference value for each signal. As a function of the inverted times, a quadrant of the circle is determined. Within a quadrant, a sector most closely corresponding to the position of the movable member is determined from among a plurality of predefined sectors that define the resolution. A number of sectors between position samples of the movable member are accumulated and communicated to a host device.

Abstract: Controlled-release oral drug dosage forms that comprise a tablet or capsule containing a plurality of particles of a solid-state drug dispersed in a swellable/erodible polymer, such as poly(ethylene oxide) are described. Once ingested, the tablet or capsule disintegrates to disperse the particles within the stomach where they imbibe water to cause them to swell and promote retention in fed-mode-induced patients. As the gastric-retained dosage form gradually erodes, the drug is released in a controlled manner to the stomach for treatment of local disorders, and to the upper gastrointestinal tract where it becomes available for absorption in a controlled and therapeutic manner. Drug containing vesicles, such as liposomes or nanoparticles or enteric-coated drugs particles, can also be delivered to the gastrointestinal tract in a controlled manner using the gastric-retentive dosage forms of the present invention.
