Patent EP-0988577-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAIER ALEXANDR ALEXANDROVICH
IPC: G02F1/365
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: Cette invention permet d'amplifier l'effet de Faraday, et d'obtenir un niveau élevé de modulation des rayonnements optiques pour des amplitudes de courant variable de modulation très réduites. Cette invention permet d'obtenir de très grandes vitesses de modulation de rayonnements optiques, et de lire également des informations ayant une plus grande densité d'enregistrement. A cette fin, cette invention fait appel à un modulateur à effet magnéto-optique de Faraday, lequel modulateur contient les éléments suivants connectés de manière optique: un élément optique (10) qui est fait d'une matière magnéto-optique et qui comprend un système (3) permettant d'y générer un champ magnétique variable; un guide d'ondes à optique non linéaire (4); et enfin, un séparateur d'ondes (5) possédant des polarisations orthogonales. Ce système offre également des possibilités de rejet des fluctuations atmosphériques et de brouillage. Le guide d'ondes à optique non linéaire (4) peut être fabriqué à partir d'une structure de type puits quantiques multiples. Des éléments entrée/sortie sont ensuite montés à l'entrée et à la sortie du guide d'ondes à optique non linéaire en tenant compte de l'asymétrie de la section transversale de ce dernier, ceci de manière à obtenir un module à optique non linéaire compact. Un courant faible est envoyé à travers le guide d'ondes à optique non linéaire par l'intermédiaire de contacts électriques (12), ceci de manière à augmenter le gain de modulation, et à réduire dans une large mesure la puissance optique de pompage. Ce module contient également un élément de Peltier et un capteur de température, lesquels vont faciliter l'obtention d'une puissance critique prédéterminée et faible du rayonnement optique de manière à obtenir un gain de modulation important. Le modulateur, dont le fonctionnement repose sur le phénomène magnéto-optique de Kerr, comprend un outre un élément optique qui va réfléchir le rayonnement optique et qui possède des sites ayant des magnétisations diverses.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structurelle ou pare-chocs, ainsi qu'un procédé de fabrication associé. Cette lame ou ce pare-chocs, destinés notamment à un véhicule, comprennent un profil oblong, lequel, lors d'une collision, est conçu pour absorber l'énergie et les forces de la collision. On prépare ce pare-chocs à partir d'une ébauche complète et creuse (B) et on le dote ensuite de plusieurs sections transversales le long de son extension plus ou moins courbe, le pare-chocs présentant une section transversale inchangée, comprimée ou pliée (3) au niveau des zones de chaque portion d'extrémité, ainsi que des sections transversales de base (4), sensiblement inchangées, de chaque côté de son centre (5). On a pourvu le pare-chocs, au niveau de son centre, d'une section transversale comprimée vers l'extérieur par rapport à la section transversale de base, une partie au moins de la section intérieure de la lame ou du pare-chocs étant divisée par au moins un élément saillant ou une paroi séparatrice (1d), ce qui fait que la section intérieure de cette lame, dans cette partie, comprend au moins deux chambres. Lors du formage du pare-chocs, la paroi séparatrice transmet des forces d'une manière simplifiant ce processus. Lors de collisions, cette paroi réduit le risque de flambage et d'effondrement prématuré de la section transversale, tandis qu'une énergie plus élastique et plastique peut être absorbée.

Abstract: A method for detecting static areas in a sequence of video
pictures is proposed. Five steps are performed within this
method to reliably differentiate the static areas and the
non-static areas in two succeeding video pictures. The steps
are:
   a) computation of pixel differences between
corresponding pixels (30) of consecutive frames or
consecutive fields with identical parities;   b) accumulation of the magnitudes of the pixel
differences over blocks (B(i,j)) of pixel values of the
video frames;   c) computation of thresholds T(i,j) for blocks of pixel
values (in a preferred embodiment adapted to an
estimated noise level (σ) and to a computed gradient
measure (g(i,j)) for each block);   d) applying the thresholds T(i,j) to the accumulated
pixel differences of the corresponding blocks thus
providing a preliminary map (PM) of static areas;   e) modifying the preliminary map (PM) of static areas by
eliminating isolated static blocks or small groups of
adjacent static blocks.  
A final map (FM) of static areas is provided at the end of
the method. This can be used to optimise the resolution of
the output picture in static areas in the fields of video
upconversion, standards conversion and deinterlacing. In the
MPEG encoding field it allows for a further reduction of the
bit rate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating an accurate stereo
three-dimensional image intermixed with a real object. Real
objects are rendered in a virtual space and a z buffer is
generated indicating three-dimensional positioning for the
real object and virtual objects within the virtual coordinate
space to intermix the light reflected from the real objects
and the light from virtual objects. To intermix the light
from real and virtual objects, a computer is utilised which
maintains a database for the location and dimensions in three
dimensional space of real objects. The image rendering
system generates a z buffer indicating three-dimensional
positioning for the real objects, which are rendered with no
colour. A reflector means is positioned to transmit stereo
images to the eyes of a viewer and transmit light reflected
from the real objects to the eyes of the viewer. An LCD
array panel selectively blocks transmission of the light
reflected from the real object to the eyes of the viewer
under control of the computer, such that the light reflected
from the portions of the real object obscured by the virtual
object are blocked.

Abstract: In a stereo demultiplexer receiving a frequency demodulated stereo-multiplex
signal (m(t)) which comprises at least a stereo-difference signal (m d (t)), a stereo-sum
signal (m s (t)) and a pilot carrier, a PLL-circuit (4) to recover the pilot
carrier and/or at least one harmonic thereof receives the sampling rate decimated
stereo-sum signal (m s (t)) as input signal, which is sampling rate decimated
by a decimation factor of D. Therefore, the sampling rate decimation filter
in the sum path is used for the sampling rate decimation to generate the
2 nd  harmonic or any other harmonic of the pilot carrier. This sampling rate
decimation filter is available anyway and therefore the sampling rate decimation
of the pilot carrier can be performed without an additional filter.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for wrapping an elongated article with

a substrate film (b1) and a pattern-decorated transfer layer (c) on the substrate film
is drawn out from a roll thereof, and fed to a surface of the article which is
conveyed horizontally by the convey rollers. The printing film is subject to an
adhesive application during the travel to the article on the rollers. A hot melt
type adhesive (d) is employed as the adhesive, which type of adhesive can be
easily regulated in thickness by an applicator. The printing film (a) adheres to
the article by the thick hot melt type adhesive to the article surface, and
pressed with heat to transfer the decorated transfer layer (c) with adhesive
together integrally. Peeling off the substrate film (b1) finally, a smooth, quality
and decrated article with a pattern such as the grain of wood or stone is
obtained superior in appearance, because the thick hot melt type adhesion
between the transfer layer and the article satisfactorily cover the cracks,
flaws, roughness of the article.
