Patent EP-0805555-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HORIGUCHI KENJI
IPC: H03K17/66
Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: An inductive load driving method and an H-bridge circuit control device in which an erroneous operation is not caused by noises generated at a current detecting resistor (R S ). The current detecting resistor is inserted in an H-bridge circuit constructed to cause the flow of a current to an inductive load (L) in both of forward and reverse directions by four semiconductor switching elements (Q 1 -Q 4 ) and flywheel diodes (D 1 -D 4 ) respectively connected in reverse parallel to the semiconductor switching elements. When a current flowing through the inductive load is controlled by a detection voltage (V S ) generated by the current detecting resistor, the value of the detection voltage (V S ) is ignored immediately after the connection of the inductive load to a power source. There is no fear that an erroneous operation is caused by a rush current and/or a through current. When a power source regeneration is made to decrease a switching current, the inductive load is connected to the power source at a predetermined period and a current flowing at that time is detected as the detection voltage (V S ). There is no fear that the current becomes too small or the transfer to a steady is made while the current is large.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a vehicle from deviating from the
correct locus of movement thereof when the vehicle travels in a direction
opposite to the direction designated by a gear selecting lever during an
automatic parking control operation. When automatic parking control
operation is started, the wheels are automatically steered on the basis of
the relation between the traveling distance of the vehicle and a standard
steering angle which is stored in advance in a storage means, and the
vehicle is guided automatically to a parking position. When the vehicle,
for which the automatic parking control operation has been started from
a position  O , moves back from a position Q due to the inclination of the
road surface, the automatic parking control operation necessarily
continues to be carried out unless the forward movement or backward
movement of the vehicle is recognized and the vehicle travels to a
different position O'. When the forward or backward movements of the
vehicle is recognized, and when the vehicle moves back from the
position Q, the standard steering angle ref is reproduced reversely from
the position Q and outputted, whereby the vehicle can be returned to the
original position O.

Abstract: A signal processing operation includes periodic recordation of information, such as television image and audio signals, on a recording medium (11). The information is recorded for a predetermined period of time provided that a signal level of the recorded image and audio signals exceeds a predetermined threshold. After the recording operation is completed, a recording standby state follows during which no recording is performed on the recording medium. The information contents are sufficiently understandable by carrying out the periodic recording operation while the hard disk (11) can be efficiently utilized to provide additional recording space thereon.

Abstract: A single-port, reflective, optical modulator with internal amplification. In one advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the single-port modulator includes a semiconductor waveguide amplifier with a high reflector at one end. The single-port geometry reduces the high packaging cost associated with two-port modulators, while the internal amplification compensates for splitting and coupling losses. The single-port optical modulator generally includes an input/output port for receiving a light input signal. A modulation region for modulating the light input signal in response to an electrical drive signal is included along with an amplification region for providing amplification of the light input signal. The modulation region and the amplification region include a waveguide for directing the light input signal. A high reflector coupled at one end of the waveguide opposite the input/output port is operable to reflect the light input signal back toward the input/output port, wherein an amplified and modulated light signal is output therefrom.

Abstract: A signal processing method and apparatus in which,
for limiting a ΣΔ modulated 1-bit digital signal for
amplitude limitation, the 1-bit digital signal is temporarily
converted into a multi-bit signal. For re-quantizing the
converted multi-bit signal, an integrator constituting a ΣΔ
re-modulator is controlled by a limiter. This enables the
1-bit digital signal to be amplitude-controlled in the form
of the digital signal without converting the 1-bit digital
signal into an analog signal.

Abstract: An input carrier sheet 12C for document distribution
system 10 carries input symbols hand entered by the user
into pre-existing constraint grids 12. The constraint
grids may be printed in continuous tone or halftone. The
print only partially covers the underlying carrier,
permitting the exposed carrier to reflect light. The
grids have sufficient pigment to be visible to the user,
but insufficient pigment to form foreground pixels along
with the hand-entered stroke when detected during the
scanning. The signal (symbol)-to-noise (carrier) ratio is
enhanced by reducing the pigment content of the
constraint grids which increases the reflectivity of the
grids. The S/N may be further enhanced by placing the
strokes of the hand-entered symbols on top of the grid
which occults some of the grid pigment. The S/N is
further enhanced by highly reflective brightening agents
in the grid print, and by aperture effect during
scanning.
