Patent EP-0787978-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PAQUET BERT J F
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 1993-06-28
Abstract: A self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine (1) is provided with a single channel network (300) for serial communication of digital data messages between programmable microprocessors (215, 218) in a multi-master configuration. The messages are encoded according to an advanced serial communications protocol and are available to all microprocessors (215, 218). The network comprises an optical transmission network with an active starpoint (230) and plastic optical fibres (231), which link the nodes which lay physically far away from each other. An RS232 socket, which is linked to the network (300), enables loading of data and programs to the microprocessors (215, 218). Thus is obtained a reliable and flexible control system for the machine settings, which comprise on-road and off-road (harvesting) parameters. The introduction of a wide range of automatic control routines simplifies to a large extent the tasks of the operator during operation. The signal from a sensor (51) monitoring the fuel level in a fuel tank (50) is used for establishing the actual fuel quantity and the mean fuel consumption rate. The results are used for generating a warning when the fuel quantity will fall to zero within a predetermined time interval.

Inventor: OGATA NOBUHIKO
IPC: B41J2/485
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: When an image is to be printed by the so-called multi-scanning method where image data corresponding to one printing band width is printed by a printhead scanning a plurality of number of times, masking is performed on the image data for each of the printhead scanning, and an image is printed on the basis of the masked image data. In such manner, pixels printed for each scanning form an image corresponding to one-scanning data (one printing band width of the data). At the time of printing by multi-scanning, a preliminary pulse is added prior to a driving pulse which drives the printhead so that the density of the image printed by multi-scanning is not decreased. In addition to changing such driving condition of the printhead, the density of the image data outputted to the printhead may be changed.

Abstract: The present invention involves an apparatus and a method for optically detecting and determining the angular position of a target. The apparatus comprises a pair of optic sensors arranged so that at least a portion of their sensing areas overlap. Their overlapping areas define the total sensing, or active sensing, area for the apparatus. Each of the optic sensors in the apparatus senses light, or other optically sensible transmission, either projected or reflected from a target positioned within the total sensing area and produces a signal relative to the amount of light sensed. The signals are then interpreted to determine the angular position of the target based on the relative signals from the optic sensors. The method of the present invention determines the angular position of a target within an area, defined by the overlapping sensing areas of a pair of optic sensors, by interpreting the relative signal intensities from the pair of optic sensors. Once the angular position is determined, the distance of the target from a line either perpendicular to or parallel to the center line of the sensor array can be calculated if the other quantity is known.

Abstract: A disposable dome lid is provided for use with a drinking cup such beverage
cups used for the sale of hot and cold beverages. The top surface of a dome lid is
elevated above the top surface of the beverage cup rim, when in place. The dome
lid is configured so as to make a plug fit onto the beverage cup by the beverage cup
rim extending into a downwardly facing recess formed for that purpose. A side
surface depends downwardly from a substantially planar top surface of the lid, and
is inset from the cup rim engaging recess. A portion of the side surface is displaced
outwardly towards the outer periphery of the dome lid, and thus provides a surface
for engaging the lower lip of the mouth of the user. A tear-back flap is defined by
fault lines stamped into the top surface and a "U"-shaped hinge formed in the top
surface. When the tear-back flap is folded back, a locking stub extends downwardly
into a locking recess formed in the top surface of the lid, and a drink-through
opening is thereby created in the top of the dome lid near the outer periphery
thereof, for easy drinking access to the beverage in the cup.

Abstract: In a packet data transmission and reception system a media access control
(MAC) message is broadcast by a base station to a plurality of mobile stations.
The MAC message contains packet data transmission scheduling information
which allows the base station to preemptively control mobile station access to
traffic channels in order to maximize the efficiency of packet data
transmissions and allow scheduling consideration including priority access,
quality of service and maximum bytes per transfer. The MAC message
consists of a control frame structure which comprises scheduling parameters
including MAC IDs fields, activity fields, and a field representing the number of
free traffic channels in a cell. These parameters enable multiple mobile
stations to share, in a time multiplexed fashion, traffic channels for packet data
transmission on CDMA based mobile communication systems.

Abstract: Cyclonic separating apparatus comprising a cyclone (114) for effecting cyclonic
separation and a tangential inlet for supplying fluid to the cyclone (114), the tangential
inlet having at least two points of entry (152) into the interior of the cyclone (114).
Each point of entry consists of a longitudinal slot (152) located in the cyclone for
directing fluid into the cyclone in a tangential manner and each slot has a vane (154) for
directing fluid through the respective slot. 
     Providing two or more points of entry (152) to the interior of the cyclone (114)
effectively spreads the inlet over a greater proportion of the circumference of the
cyclone (114). The dimensions of the apparatus (110) can therefore be reduced and,
furthermore, losses due to friction can be minimised.

Abstract: Lead alloy strip material (4, 6, 8) is roll bonded on one or both opposite
face surfaces of a core strip material (2). The core material can be commercially
pure titanium, austenitic stainless steel, low carbon steel, copper, aluminum,
alloys thereof or other suitable metal that has sufficient ductility and that can
provide desired attributes of stiffness and corrosion resistance to the composite.
The lead alloy material is strengthened by the addition of less than
approximately 1% of calcium or antimony and the core material is softened by
fully annealing it prior to bonding. The several strips are reduced in thickness,
preferably in approximately the same proportion, by at least 40% in the bonding
pass to create a solid phase bond among the strips. The bonded composite is
then rolled to final gauge and, for selected applications, is corrugated and cut to
form panels (20, 22, 24) and etched to form pockets (8b) for pasting of active
materials such as lead oxide for battery plates.

Abstract: An automotive information system including a car audio
system and other information units or devices is controlled
by a small-sized computer that is also part of the
automotive information system and that is loaded with a
general-purpose OS. The automotive information system has a
local BUS of a form conforming with the data form of the CPU,
a PCI BUS that interconnects the units or devices of the
system, and a PCI BUS boot controller that performs form
conversion of data exchanged between these two types of
BUSes. Audio data which may be analog or digital and other
data which are inherently digital are transmitted in the
form of digital signals through the PCI BUS, and these data
are processed digitally by the CPU. With this arrangement,
the small-sized computer and information devices such as a
car audio system are combined in such a manner as not to
impair the advantages of the computer and the information
devices. Audio data when it is formed of analog signals is
audio-to-digital-converted into audio signals in the form of
digital signals. Thus, audio data and other digital data are
transmitted through a common digital circuit, so that the
wiring layout is simplified and audio characteristic is
stabilized against noise and change in the environmental
conditions.
