Patent EP-1267057-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TANAKA KUNIO
IPC: F02B23/02
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: In an intake air control device, a valve gear (6) for
driving a shaft (3) of a throttle valve (1) is made of non-magnetic
metal that does not interfere with a magnetic circuit
constituted by split type permanent magnet (41) and yoke (42).
Accordingly, as the magnetic flux from the magnetic circuit
is effectively used without leakage to the valve gear, an opening
degree of the throttle valve is accurately detected by a
non-contact type Hall element (43). Further, it is not necessary
to reinforce with other metal a ring shaped fixing portion (25)
of the valve gear that is rigidly fixed to an end of the shaft
by staking or welding and an outer protrusion (27) of the valve
gear that comes in hitting contact with a stopper (17) of a
throttle body when the throttle valve is fully closed, resulting
in less number of component parts and lower cost.

Abstract: A game system provides multiple classifications of character
characteristic and is capable of advancing a game by assigning the desired
characteristic to a character from multiple characteristics. Two jobs, that is,
a main job and a support job are selectable for a character and a fixed
pattern of table configuration data is provided as characteristic value
information according to the job. In addition, the table configuration data
corresponding to the classification of the job is extracted and applied to a
growth table for each job, and ability values of the main job and support job
are weighted differently so as to achieve character characteristic having two
job abilities together. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively increase the
job types to be assigned to the character and to create an interesting game,
while reducing necessary memory capacity.

Abstract: Elevated levels of βAP in body fluids, such as blood and
cerebrospinal fluid, is associated with the presence of a
βAP-related condition in a patient, such as Alzheimer's
Disease. Soluble β-amyloid peptide (βAP) is measured in
biological fluids at very low concentrations, typically in
the range from 0.1 ng/ml to 10 ng/ml. The measurement of
βAP concentrations in animals or conditioned medium from
cultured cells is used for drug screening, where test
compounds are administered to the animals or exposed to the
cultured cells and the accumulation of βAP in the animal or
culture medium observed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for displaying various menus
of a microwave oven onto one screen. In the present invention, the various menus can be
displayed onto one screen by using a tree structure or window structure. To this end,
display control data are stored such that the various menus can be displayed in the form of
the tree structure or display window. These display control data are stored in a separately
provided storage device. According to the present invention constructed as such, since
the user can confirm the various functions of the microwave oven on the same screen at
one time, there is an advantage in that trials and errors made when using the microwave
oven can be minimized. In addition, since all the functions can be confirmed
simultaneously, there are further advantages in that the time required for learning how to
use the microwave oven is reduced and function selection can be conveniently made.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système vidéo interactif en temps réel pour système de diffusion audio et vidéo en temps réel ne demandant pas de modification des postes de télévision. Dans une application de diffusion en temps réel le contenu vidéo est diffusé pour être présenté sur une télévision ou un écran usuels. On extrait des images du contenu vidéo à intervalles de temps prédéterminés par exemple d'une seconde puis on les stocke dans un répertoire de serveur Internet. Par exemple pour une source vidéo de 30 images par seconde on extrait une image sur 30 pour la stocker sous forme d'image fixe avec des fichiers associés qui lient les objets de pixels et les images stockées à des objets de données ou d'autres plates-formes de ressources. Pour synchroniser les images stockées et les fichiers vidéo associés avec le contenu vidéo diffusé en temps réel, chaque image est soit numérotée séquentiellement, ou référencée sous le code de temps de l'image dont elle a été extraite. L'interactivité avec le contenu vidéo diffusé en temps réel est assurée par une plate-forme d'interaction du téléspectateur, par exemple une plate-forme de calcul telle qu'un PC ou un décodeur, ou une plate-forme sans fil telle qu'un assistant personnel (PDA) ou un téléphone cellulaire tel qu'un G3 lié au serveur Internet qui abrite les images stockées et les fichiers vidéo associés. Selon un aspect important de l'invention, une application d'interaction d'images vidéo résidant dans la plate-forme d'interactions visuelles permet au téléspectateur de sélectionner des images du contenu vidéo en cours de diffusion et de les stocker dans la mémoire de la plate-forme d'interactions du téléspectateur. Si la plate-forme d'interactions visuelles présente une mémoire limitée, on peut sauvegarder le lien Internet avec l'image. On choisit les images en activant la 'touche d'entrée' de la plate-forme d'interactions visuelles. La sélection de l'utilisateur est soit transmise au site WEB en vue de son extraction immédiate, soit la demande associée est sauvegardée en vue d'un accès ultérieur au site WEB. Sur demande, le site WEB transmet l'image sélectionnée à l'application d'interaction avec l'image vidéo pour permettre au téléspectateur d'accéder aux objets de pixels et de se relier à d'autres plates-formes de ressources.
