Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Verbesserung der Sicht in einem Kraftfahrzeug. Sie ist mit einer Strahlungsquelle zur Beleuchtung der Fahrzeugumgebung mit infraroter Strahlung, mit einer infrarotempfindlichen Kamera zur Erfassung wenigstens eines Teiles der beleuchteten Fahrzeugumgebung und mit einer Anzeige zur Darstellung der durch die Kamera erfassten Bildinformationen Versehen. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Kamera ein homogener IR-Filter zugeordnet, welcher unterschiedliche spektrale Transmissionseigenschaften besitzt. Der IR-Filter weist dabei in wenigstens einem Teilbereich des infraroten Spektrums einen Transmissionsgrad in der Größenordnung von 1 auf. Im visuellen Spektralbereich ist die typische Sperrwirkung eines IR-Filters von 10 -5  oder weniger gegeben. Im visuellen Spektrum verhält sich die Transmission des IR-Filters nicht gleichmäßig und umfasst wenigstens einen schmalbandigen Durchlassbereich mit einem Transmissionsgrad vom etwa oder größer 10 -3  für sichtbares Licht. Durch diese Ausbildung der Vorrichtung zur Verbesserung der Sicht in einem Kraftfahrzeug gelingt es eine sichere Erfassung der Fahrzeugumgebung zu ermöglichen und dadurch den Straßenverkehr sicherer zu gestalten.

Abstract: Any one of an insulating film forming a TFT, a silicon film and a
conductive film is formed by applying a solution and annealing it. In a spin coater
(102), a coating solution containing a thin film component which is supplied from a
solution storage section (105) is spin-coated onto a substrate. The substrate after
coating the coating solution is annealed in an annealing section (103) to form a
coating film on the substrate. Additional laser annealing improves one of film
characteristics, i.e., crystallinity, compactness and adhesiveness. Application of the
coating solution or a resist by an ink jet process increases utilization of the solution
and permits forming a patterned coating film. Since a thin film device in
accordance with the present invention is inexpensive and has a high throughput,
TFT production by a production system having high utilization of the coating
solution drastically reduces initial investment and production cost of a liquid crystal
display device.

Abstract: In a multilayer ceramic capacitor of the present invention, a first rare earth element (R1) and a second rare earth element (R2) respectively diffuse in each of crystal grains forming dielectric layers and, assuming that, in the crystal grains each having an average grain diameter D, a ratio of a depth d1 of a diffusion layer of the first rare earth element (R1) from the surface of the crystal grain relative to the diameter D of the crystal grain is given as X1(%) and a ratio of a depth d2 of a diffusion layer of the second rare earth element (R2) from the surface of the crystal grain relative to the diameter D of the crystal grain is given as X2(%), the depth d2 of the diffusion layer of the second rare earth element (R2) reaches deeper than the depth d1 of the diffusion layer of the first rare earth element (R1) and a relationship of X1 = 10 to 35% and X2>X1 (synonymous with d2>d1) is established. Therefore, the multilayer ceramic capacitor is excellent in reliability wherein the capacitance-temperature characteristic, i.e. a time-dependent change in capacitance, satisfies the EIA standard X8R characteristic (ΔC/C = ±15% at -55 to +150°C) and the resistance change ratio in an acceleration test is small (average life is long).

Abstract: An input/output interface is provided in which a logical value is expressed by a time difference between the transition edge of the transmission signal transmitting on the signal line (DATA) and a transition edge of a standard timing signal (CLK). Therefore, a large amount of data can be transmitted through one signal line. Since a large amount of data can be transmitted by one transmission, it is possible to substantially increase the data transfer rate. Since only a small number of the signal lines are necessary, it is possible to reduce the number of input circuits and output circuits of the transmission signals, to reduce power consumption, and to reduce the wiring area of the signal lines.

Title: Passive sensors for automatic faucets and bathroom flushers
Inventor: PARSON NATAN E
IPC: E03C1/05
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: A passive optical sensor includes a light detector sensitive to ambient (room) light for controlling, for example, the operation of automatic faucets (10, 10A, 10B, 10C) or automatic bathroom flushers (100, 100A). The passive optical sensors provide signals to flow controllers, including control electronics (400) and flow valves (38, 140) and require only very small amounts of electrical power for sensing users of bathroom facilities, and thus enable battery operation for many years. To control the operation of automatic faucets or automatic bathroom flushers based on ambient light, the controller executes novel algorithms (600, 900).
