Patent EP-0758087-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA TAKESHI
IPC: G01P15/00
Filed: 1995-10-06
Abstract: In an acceleration detecting apparatus, an acceleration sensor signal normally contains not only a necessary signal component (i.e., acceleration information), but also an unnecessary signal component (e.g., drift component and gravity acceleration component). This unnecessary signal component can be simply removed from the acceleration sensor signal to obtain only the necessary acceleration signal component for acquisition of correct acceleration information. An acceleration detecting apparatus includes an acceleration sensor for sensing acceleration of an automobile along a drive direction of the automobile to output an acceleration sensor signal, and a removing unit for using the acceleration sensor signal obtained when an engine revolution speed of the automobile is constant as a correction signal and for removing the correction signal from another acceleration sensor signal acquired subsequent to the first-mentioned acceleration sensor signal.

Abstract: An expansion plug fastening assembly (15, 115) for fastening a hardware element (13, 113), in particular a runner for drawers, to a hole (11, 111), comprises an expansion plug casing (10, 110) which fits into the hole. The casing (10, 110) comprises an axial housing (16, 17, 116, 117) axially rotatably housing the shank (24, 25, 124, 125) of a pin (22, 122) for fastening the hardware element. At least one first segment of the shank (25, 125) has an axis (23) eccentric with respect to the head (18, 118) to permit adjustment of the position of the hardware element in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pin on rotation of the pin. The shank advantageously also comprises a second segment (24, 124) coaxial to the head and the housing comprising a first (17, 117) and a second portion (16, 116) receiving the first (25, 125) and the second segment (24, 124) respectively. The first portion and second portion being extended in two orthogonal directions radial to the casing of the expansion plug so that, upon rotation of the pin, each segment (24, 25, 124, 125) moves in the direction of extension of its respective portion of the housing.

Abstract: The field of the invention is a combination of a microscope and an interactive image analysis system comprising a camera and a computer work station. The purpose of the invention is to facilitate the interactive control of coordinate displacements of the stage of the microscope. For each coordinate x and y an electromechanical control channel is established. At the input of the control channel two cascaded wheels in a coaxial arrangement and two angle encoders are used as a detached, independent tool which is not kinematically linked to the stage. In the middle of the control channel, the pulses of the angle encoders undergo a non-linear transformation. A processor performs a calculation which discriminates between slow displacements and fast displacements. At the end of the control channel, a flat, easily accessible platform of the microscope stage has two working areas, one for manual previewing and one for interactive scanning of a specimen.

Abstract: An intelligent creator design pattern for instantiating a new application subclass of an application base class without revising existing application code in an object-oriented programming system. The intelligent creator design pattern of this invention specifies a base class to be inherited by an intelligent creator subclass added to an existing application to instantiate a new application subclass responsive to recognition of predetermined application input data without modification to the remainder of the application code . A dynamic list object that includes methods for autonomously updating a list of references to all intelligent creator subclasses eliminates knowledge of specific creator subclasses from the application. The dynamic list object code need not be updated when adding creator subclasses because the list object is self-updating responsive to the recognition methods of each new creator subclass added to the application. The recognition capacity provided in each intelligent creator subclass also eliminates all knowledge of specific application subclasses from the application.

Abstract: It is possible to make compact an overall electrostic
powder coating apparatus and to enhance a dust collecting
efficiency for the powder coat that is floating within dust
protecting covers. A chemically washed workpiece is heated
and degreased by a heating and degreasing section (21) in a
process for delivering the workpiece in a base which is
then cooled down in a cleaning section. The workpiece then
is delivered onto the base by a lift-up unit and is coated
by the adhesion of the powder coat and the curing operation
during the passage of pipes of an electrostic coater, a
curing section and the like. Furthermore, the workpiece is
again delivered into the base by a lift-down unit
and discharged after being cooled down during the passage
of pipes of the cleaning section i.e., the units of each
step being arranged separately into a lower mechanism group (20)
and an upper mechanism group (30), and the cleaning section (22) also
serving to cool the workpiece after the heating, degreasing
and curing. Accordingly, the overall length of the
apparatus is shortened. Also, since the electrostic coater,
an workpiece outer circumference cleaner and the cuing
section are covered by independent dust protecting covers,
a dust collecting efficiency for the floating powder coat
is enhanced.
