IPC: G01S13/82
Filed: 1991-09-30
Abstract: A railway signalling system which uses direct ratio communication between trains. Each train is fitted with two sensor units (10, 11), one at the front one at the rear. Each unit determines the host train's speed and position. The rearward unit (11) transmits (14) its train speed and position by means of a rearward-directed data signal for detection (15) by the forward unit (10) on any following train within range. The forward unit (10) processes (25, 26, 27) the data received from the train ahead and its own train data to determine whether a hazardous situation exists, and generates a control output (28) accordingly. The speed measurement uses doppler techniques, whereas vehicle position is determined by interrogating passive trackside transponders (12). Operation at millimetre wave frequencies is preferred.

Abstract: A data processing system and method handles interchangeable image objects for documents having diverse sizes and formats. This enables storing, printing and displaying images of documents having a variety of sizes on different types of equipment in the same system. Compressed A and B size document images are stored in a first type image file which is Mixed Object Document Content Architecture format (MO:DCA-P), having a field for the size of the document image. C to E size document images are each divided into component tile images which are each compressed and stored in a second type image file which has a format interchangeable with the format of the first image file, but includes map data relating the tile images to the document image. A preview image can be included in the image file, which can be immediately displayed or printed while the tile images are being decompressed. The second image file is in a second type Mixed Object Document Content Architecture format (MO:DCA-X), which has the same overall format as the MO:DCA-P format. The preview image is concealed in a NoOP field and is used typically by those I/O devices in the system which are capable of handling C to E size documents. This enables the two types of image files to be commingled in a common system storage, permitting the interchangeability of the image objects for documents of diverse size.

Abstract: In a tool fastening apparatus for industrial robots comprising an arm-side coupling unit attached to the arm of a robot and a tool-side coupling unit attached to a tool to be used with the robot, the relative position of the connected coupling units is simply and accurately fixed by means of a set of steel balls. Even if fluid passage couplings to supply a hydraulic fluid to the tool are provided in the contact surfaces of the coupling units, the entire apparatus remains sufficiently small and light, without impairing the accuracy of their positioning. For this purpose, the arm-side and tool-side coupling units have, in their contact surfaces, positioning couplings each comprising a ball ring which, in turn, comprises a set of annularly disposed balls slightly sticking out from the contact surface. The two coupling units are fixed in position by fitting the balls on one ball ring into between individual pairs of the balls on the other ball ring. While the ball rings are provided in the periphery of the arm-side and tool-side coupling units, the fluid passage couplings are disposed inside the individual ball rings.

Abstract: A shared-buffer-memory-based ATM switching module (1) used with ATM cells having a multiplicity of priorities has a plurality of queues for each output port (O-N), one for each cell priority, and handles buffer overflow in a manner fair to all output ports. It initially allows output-port queues to completely consume the buffer memory (12). Thereafter, when an additional incoming cell (on 7) is received for which there is no room in the buffer memory, the lengths of all of the queues of each output port are individually summed and compared to determine which port has the greatest number of buffered cells. A buffered ATM cell is discarded from the lowest-priority non-empty queue of that port. The incoming cell is then stored in the memory space vacated by the discarded cell.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently handling, modifying, transmitting, re-displaying and storing color images is described. An image is provided which has a plurality of pixels each having color parameters (information) in the form of color coordinates which can be considered a color point in a color space. The invention provides a plurality of color volume elements which together contain at least a portion of the color space and which in effect quantize the color space. Each color volume element has a representative color value (point) so that a first plurality of representative color values (points) are provided by the plurality of volume elements. A representative color value is determined for each pixel in the image such that, with a typical image, a subset of the first plurality of representative color values are determined. In other words, the image will not use all the values in the first plurality of representative color values. An index value is also provided for each pixel in the image, where each index value represents a particular representative color value in the subset of the first plurality of representative color values. The image may then be modified according to the invention by modifying the representative color values in the subset of the first plurality of representative color values. The image, as modified, may be displayed by using the index value for each pixel to retrieve the modified representative color value for that pixel. The apparatus of the invention includes a processor for determining the representative color values for each pixel and a memory for storing the representative color value for each pixel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the efficient generation of high quality images in a computer system is disclosed. A user requests that one or more images be generated. Representation of each requested image and any existing images are added to an image table. Representations of a group of intermediate images are then added to the image table. Each intermediate image corresponds to a change of an image state between an existing image and a requested image. For example, if a requested image is smaller than an existing image, the scaling of the existing image is a change of image state and will result in the addition of the representation of an intermediate image to the image table. Note that the intermediate image itself is not actually computed or generated at this time. After the representation of each intermediate image has been added to the image table, image paths are built from any existing image to any requested image. An image path includes an existing image, a series of one or more intermediate images, and a requested image. After a network of all the image paths are built, a "cost" of computing the image is calculated for each image path. After these calculations are complete, an optimal image path is selected. The requested image is then generated in a manner determined by the optimal image path. If more than one image is requested, the optimal image path for each requested image is determined by looking at combinations of image paths so that intermediate images generated for one requested image can be used by other requested images.

Abstract: An equalisation arrangement compensates for multipath phase and amplitude distortion effects in a transmission channel by first measuring such distortion effects as they occur over time in a calibration phase, thereby obtaining phase and amplitude compensation factors, then applying these factors at the appropriate times during a subsequent data transmission phase to a correcting means situated in the signal path. Calibration is achieved by feeding a received calibration signal to an amplifier, preferably a successive detection logarithmic amplifier (26), comparing the phase of the limited linear output of the logarithmic amplifier with a delayed version of itself (30, 28), and using the amplitude information (39) in the logarithmic output (72) of the logarithmic amplifier (26) and the phase-change information (35) resulting from the phase comparison to compute phase and amplitude compensation coefficients. In the data transmission phase, the compensation coefficients are applied to amplifiers and multipliers, etc (56, 55), in the correcting means.
