Patent EP-1051025-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA MITSUAKI
IPC: H04N1/407
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: In an image processing device, in order to display an image
on a display device having nonlinear gradation characteristics,
first, a contrast estimation unit (37) estimates the contrast
of the image represented by the image data (51) input from an
image input device. Next, a luminance correction unit (38)
subjects the pixel data constituting the image data (51) to a
luminance conversion process on the basis of the estimated
contrast and the gradation characteristics. Furthermore, the
pixel data may sometimes be subjected to a sharpening process.
The level of the sharpening performed for one or a plurality
of character regions in the image represented by the image data
(51) is higher than that for the pixel data of the pixels in
remaining regions other than the character regions in the image.
The image data (52) comprising the pixel data subjected to these
processes is supplied to the display device. Therefore, the
visibility of the image displayed on the display device can be
improved.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode et un système d'essai permettant de tester des connecteurs de fibres optiques dans un système de fibres optiques, ce système fonctionnant sans appareillage d'essai externe. On applique d'abord un signal d'entrée au niveau d'une extrémité de la voie d'une fibre optique comprenant plusieurs connecteurs, pour obtenir ainsi un signal de sortie. Le signal d'entrée possède des caractéristiques connues (notamment une impulsion d'entraînement) le long de la voie de la fibre optique. Le signal de sortie, lequel est produit en réaction au signal d'entrée, est converti d'une expression de domaine temporel à une expression de domaine fréquentiel, en utilisant par exemple l'analyse de transformation de Fourier. L'expression du domaine fréquentiel du signal de sortie est ensuite combinée avec une expression du domaine fréquentiel du signal temporel, de manière à produire une forme d'onde à partir de laquelle on localise chacun des connecteurs et on détermine son niveau de performance relatif. Cette méthode et ce système ne nécessitent pas le démontage de la voie de la fibre optique, ce qui est très avantageux.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for amplifying low-level electrical
signals at low temperatures (typically below 4.2 K) is
disclosed. The problem of large heat dissipation (≈ mW) in
cryogenic amplifiers (1, 2, 8) is solved. A low-temperature
section (3) comprises a field-effect transistor
or FET (1) and an elevated temperature section comprises
current sensing means (2), such as an operational
amplifier or op-amp (2). According to the invention the
FET (1) is operated in the small-signal ohmic regime.
Thereby ultra-low power losses in the FET (1) (e. g. below
≈ 1 nW) are achieved. One or several FETs (1) can be
mounted inside a cryostat close to a measuring impedance
(Z TF ) with negligible heating of the cryostat. A particular
stable operation of the FET (1) in the ohmic regime and a
selectable operating point are realized by supplying a
constant source-drain voltage U SD  (e. g. 1 µV - 100 mV) and
a separately adjustable gate-drain voltage U GD . An amplifier
(1, 2, 8) for implementing the method and a scanning
probe microscope comprising the amplifier (1, 2, 8) are
disclosed as well.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the cleaning of dishes in a dishwashing
machine having a liquid circulation cycle with a circulating pump, which in successive,
preferably program-controlled sequences draws liquid introduced into the washing
compartment from the washing compartment sump and sprays it onto the dishes
inserted in crockery baskets by way of spray devices arranged in the washing
compartment, the liquid flowing back to the sump of the washing compartment again.
The liquid and energy required in running the program are significantly reduced in
that in at least some of the sequences (pre-rinse, intermediate rinse and clear rinse,
glass and quick-wash) only a reduced quantity of liquid is introduced into the washing
compartment, which is not sufficient for a stable hydraulic continuous operation of the
liquid circulation cycle (intake of air), and that the liquid circulation cycle is monitored
for the occurrence of an unstable hydraulic condition, and the circulation pump
switched off or its pump delivery reduced for a period of time as a function thereof.

Abstract: A low-noise level landing apparatus for helicopters
comprises a helicopter position calculator (5) for calculating
the position of the helicopter, a data input device (11), an
air data sensor (1) for measuring an airspeed and a descending
angle, a rotor tachometer (2) for detecting a rotor rotational
speed, a memory (3) and a fuel gauge (4) for calculating the
weight of the helicopter, a rotor rotational speed controller
(9) for controlling the rotor rotational speed, a BVI noise
generating area database device (6) for storing noise levels
in accordance with parameters of descending speed, airspeed,
descending angle, rotor rotational speed and weight of the
helicopter. A computer (10) selects a flight route, an airspeed,
a descending angle and a rotor rotational speed wherein noise
is reduced, by setting a plurality of flight routes on the basis
of the helicopter position and landing point and by referring
to the noise generating area database device. Low-noise level
landing is then carried out by pilot manual control or automatic
flight control. By modifying the selected flight route on the
basis of ground noise data received by a data receiver (12),
the optimal flight route is reselected. As a result, a flight
route wherein noise reduction can be attained during landing
can be selected more properly.

Abstract: A method for preventing the aluminizing of cooling holes (18) and internal
surfaces of an airfoil (10) during vapor phase aluminizing. The method
generally entails flowing a gas through internal cavities of the airfoil (10) and
out through the cooling holes (18), while the surfaces of the airfoil (10) are
aluminized by vapor phase deposition. As a result of the outward gas flow,
volatile activators and aluminum compounds are prevented from flowing
into the cooling holes (18) and internal cavity, thereby preventing aluminizing
of the cooling hole walls and internal surfaces of the airfoil (10) and
interactions with any oxide deposits on the surfaces of the cooling holes and
internal cavities.

Les deux portions de butée viennent en butée les unes avec les autres en vue de former la même structure que celle d'éléments de renforcement ménagés entre les moitiés supérieure et inférieure pour ainsi assurer une rigidité élevée. De même les deux portions terminales d'un élément de type paroi (80) disposé dans la moitié inférieure le long de la bande magnétique enroulée autour d'un moyeu d'enroulement sont recourbées en forme de L, et ses portions terminales sont arrondies de manière à faire apparaître des ressorts de compression (86) afin que leur photodétection puisse être réalisée avantageusement et que la rigidité de l'élément soit renforcée. En outre, la face du corps plan de la portion évidée formée sur la face latérale postérieure de la moitié supérieure est façonnée de manière à présenter la même épaisseur que celle de la paroi latérale de la portion postérieure de la moitié supérieure, c'est-à-dire que la portion évidée de la paroi latérale postérieure est formée dans le sens du côté du corps de la moitié supérieure, à partir du côté extrémité de libération, afin que la bande magnétique ne soit entravée. La portion évidée n'est pas formée sur la face du corps de la moitié supérieure pour éliminer de ce fait la variation d'épaisseur. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir une réduction notable de la déformation thermique.
