Abstract: In comparison with the known solutions, the housing according to the
present invention is very advantageous because it is modular and is
provided with centred or offset connections, threaded groove-and-tongue
joints, flanged connections or other kind of connections of various sizes and
shapes while previously, components with soldered or fused connections
were used, which were fixed in the sense of direction and had a
predetermined number of inlets and outlets. 
Basically, the housing (1) includes a plurality of modular elements (2) which
are placed between two bottom elements or bottoms (3). The shape of each
modular elements is substantially cylindric. The modular elements (2)
project from the body of pipe-fittings or connections (4). The arrangement of
the said connections (4) is orthogonal to the housing axis and tangential to
the housing circumference so as to allow the inner flow of the liquid to form
inner whirl flows. These inner flows permit a better mixing with a better
stratification and separation of the microbubbles.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling charging and discharging of an energy storage device. If the charging voltage that is applied exceeds a restriction determining voltage, the power value at that time is held as the charging power upper limit value. In addition, by multiplying a restriction coefficient by the charging power upper limit value while gradually reducing the restriction coefficient until the voltage drops below a restriction removal determining voltage. By setting its result as a control target value of the charging power, the charging power is gradually restricted. In contrast, if the applied charging voltage drops below the restriction removal determining voltage, the charging power is conversely gradually restored to its original state using a control target value obtained by multiplying the restriction coefficient by the charging power upper limit value while gradually increasing the restriction coefficient until the voltage equals or goes above the restriction determining voltage.

Abstract: In the present invention, focusing on the point that the number of transistors can be reduced to about 2/5 of that in a prior art due to an absolute-value-of-difference calculating circuit for an associative memory being configured of two of an addition circuit and a bit inversion circuit. The absolute-value-of-difference calculating circuit is built in a fully-parallel type associative memory as a unit comparison circuit (UC), and all of the outputs of the absolute-value-of-difference calculating circuits (UC ij ) for which the number of comparisons thereof are prepared are input to weight comparison circuits (WC ij ), whereby the calculation of the Manhattan distance between the search data (SW) and the reference data (REF) is carried out. In accordance with the configuration, because a Manhattan distance calculating circuit can be realized by a fewer number of transistors and with a small area, an associative memory apparatus as well can be realized at a low power consumption and with a small area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the downlink signature for a remote transceiver (141,143) which is part of a wireless communication system that includes a main transceiver (101) for communicating with the remote transceiver. The main transceiver includes an array of transmit antenna elements (105). The method uses the remote transceiver for receiving signals when the main transceiver transmits downlink calibration signals. When the main transceiver also has a receive antenna array, the remote transceiver can transmit uplink calibration signals to the main transceiver for determining an uplink signature. The downlink and uplink signatures are used to determine a calibration function to account for differences in the apparatus chains that include the antenna elements of the arrays, and that enable downlink smart antenna processing weights (118) to be determined from uplink smart antenna processing weights (115) when the main transceiver includes means for smart antenna processing according to weights. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A control circuit (10) for controlling the residual or tail
current decay in a single phase or polyphase SRM winding when a
phase is switched from active to inactive. A Hall-effect type
sensor (30) senses rotor position of the SRM. Current flows
through a winding (W) of the motor when the motor phase winding is
active; and, current flow into the winding decays to zero when the
phase becomes inactive. Semiconductor switches (22) direct current
flow into the winding when the phase is active and then redirect
residual energy in the winding between an energy recovery circuit
and an energy dissipation circuit when the phase becomes inactive.
A PWM signal generator (44) provides PWM operating signals to the
switches to control current flow first into the winding and then
between the recovery and dissipation circuits. A control module
(42), or microprocessor (52) with a PWM output, is responsive to
rotor position information for controlling operation of the PWM
signal generator. The signal generator provides PWM signals having
one set of signal characteristics when there is current flow to the
winding and a different set of characteristics when there is not.
This produces alternate intervals of zero voltage and forced
commutation residual current decay while the phase is inactive.
During the decay interval, both the PWM frequency and pulse duty
cycle are variable produce a current decay scheme which eliminates
ringing and motor noise.

Abstract: Automatic color correction is applied to a scene or clip, including a sequence of images, in a motion picture by selecting a representative image of the scene, analyzing the image and adjusting parameters of a color correction operation that is performed on the sequence of images included in the scene. This operation can be repeated automatically for all scenes or for selected scenes in the motion picture. The parameters may be adjusted to automatically color balance the image while maintaining substantially constant contrast. Analysis of the representative image may include identifying an offset of a peak in a two-dimensional histogram of the colors in the representative image from a white point. Parameters of a color correction operation are adjusted according to this offset. Separate histograms and offsets may be determined for shadows, midtones and highlight regions of the representative image. Analysis of the representative image may include determining a one-dimensional histogram of the luminance information in the representative image. The darkest level and the brightest level in the image are used to balance the image. In particular, the histograms for color channels in the image, such as red, green and blue, are adjusted to match the darkest level and brightest level identified by the luminance histogram.
