Patent EP-0872267-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AUF DER HEIDE GERHARD
IPC: A63H3/04
Filed: 1998-04-11
Abstract: At least a part of the torso (6) comprises several disc-like segments (50) arranged parallel to each other and set spaced behind each other along an elongated flexible connecting element (58). Adjoining segments can be rotated relative to each other a restricted amount about a longitudinal axis (74) of the connecting element. The individual segments can be attached rotatable on the connecting element to rotate about the longitudinal axis and are coupled to each adjoining segment. The individual segments can be pushed loose on the connecting element. The connecting element has a circular cross section and passes through slightly larger dimensioned openings (52) of circular cross-section in the segments.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic contrast improvement in
video pictures is proposed. There is a strong demand for
picture contrast but each video display has a limited
dynamic range. The picture contrast can't be increased by
simply increasing the video signal amplitude because
exceeding the display dynamic range in some video scenes
causes unwanted disturbing effects. 
     According to the basic solution of the invention the video
pictures are analysed framewise in real time and the
parameters of a transfer function for contrast improvement
are adjusted depending on the analysis results for the best
subjective picture quality.

Abstract: The melting vessel has a specific reaction volume of 0.4-1.5 m /t, with process gases supplied at rates 0.1-3.0 m /t/min. The solid charge is melted using an electric arc, and oxygen flow is increased after addition of slag forming and alloying agents, with a corresponding reduction in the arc power. During decarburisation, the oxygen flow relative to the inert gas is reduced, while the arc is strengthened. During reduction primarily chrome is reduced from the slag, while silicon is combined by slag forming agents. The melting vessel (1) is rotatably mounted with a semicircular support ring (2). The top and middle section of the melting vessel facing the support ring is cylindrical. Transition from the domed section (5) to the cylindrical section (6) takes place in the region of the axis of rotation of the vessel.

Abstract: The vehicle dashboard (2) accommodates a control panel (1) with on/off switch (5), temperature (3), and air distribution (4) controls. The controls are used to input to memory (6) values, retained when the air-conditioner, or vehicle, is out of service, and apply them (10) to the functional components (11) via a calculating unit (7), connected to interior (8) and exterior (9) air temperature sensors. A discriminating module (12) allows one of the several previously input operating programs to be selected after its particular identifying code is input at another panel control (14). Several different programs are available to one driver (or passengers); alternatively, each of several drivers has his/her own program. The discriminating module (12) holds the programs in one memory (15) while another (13) operates recognition programs. Users identify themselves by e.g. repeatedly pressing the panel control (14), using a simple number recognition code. Optionally, several buttons, one per driver, are fitted, or a voice recognition or keypad system is used. Differentiation may also be implanted in personalized ignition keys or a security startup pad.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laying rails (2), such as, for example, tram rails, in a
pavement having a road surface (5) for traffic. The rails are laid in a fixing course (4) that has
been formed from a porous starting material having a relatively high voids content, which
voids are filled with a hardening reinforcing medium. By this means the rails can be
installed in a stable manner without the use of sleepers or tie bars. The starting material can
be applied in a simple manner, for example by hot spreading. After the reinforcing medium
has been applied, a construction which has high dimensional stability in the horizontal
direction is formed in which the rails can be accurately positioned. The rails (2) can be sunk
in grooves (3) and fixed in place by means of a casting material (6). The fixing course (4) preferably
comprises very open asphalt concrete (VOAC) having a voids content of at least 20 %,
preferably between 25 % and 30 %. The reinforcing medium used can be a cement-based
slurry.

Abstract: A data line driver circuit for an active matrix liquid crystal display comprises
a shift register (41) composed of a chain of DFF's (42), and a bank (43) of data line drivers
(44). Furthermore the circuit (40) incorporates a bank (45) of combinational or sequential
logic blocks (46) each of which is locally associated with a respective one of the DFF's
(42) and may contain pattern detection logic. Each local logic block (46) receives signals
from the outputs of one or more of the local DFF's (42) and generates one or more local
control signals for the associated data line driver (44). The pattern detection logic may
also generate one or more global control signals. The circuit (40) therefore operates as
a distributed controller which generates control signals locally, rather than such signals
being generated by a global counter and/or combinational logic circuits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of improving user response time during cellular hand-offs and radio frequency changes in a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) mobile environment. In the mobile environment there is at least a mobile end station (20), a mobile data base station (22), a mobile data intermediate system (MDIS) (30) and a fixed end station (40). The MDIS (30) keeps track of the mobile end station (20) as it roams through the mobile environment. As a result, the MDIS (30) can distinguish between delays due to network congestion and delays due to cellular hand-offs. Further, the mobile data base station (22) informs the MDIS (30) of any changes in the radio frequency signal, thus allowing the MDIS (30) to also recognize delays due to changes in the radio frequency signal. With the knowledge of being able to identify the cause of the delays, the MDIS (30) is able to initiate or suppress a congestion control and recovery process.

Abstract: Joint d'interconnexion à globule amélioré pour un boîtier de circuit intégré de type BGA (grille de globules), comprenant une base de substrat (11) présentant une première surface sur laquelle est fixée une puce de circuit intégré (10), et une seconde surface opposée. Le substrat est traversé par un trou d'interconnexion (15). Le trou d'interconnexion (15) présente un passage central traversant le substrat. Ce passage est bouché avec un matériau flexible non conducteur tel qu'un matériau de masquage de soudure époxy. Une plage métallique pour globule de connexion se trouve sur la seconde surface du substrat. Cette plage métallique (21) fait partie intégrante du trou d'interconnexion métallisé et est adjacente au passage et au bouchon de matériau non conducteur. Un globule de soudure d'interconnexion (22) est formé sur la plage de soudure, à l'opposé du trou d'interconnexion et du bouchon de matériau non conducteur. Une liaison annulaire métal sur métal est réalisée à la jonction du globule d'interconnexion (22) et de la plage (21) entourant le bouchon de matériau non conducteur au centre du trou d'interconnexion. Le joint présente une résistance surprenante au cisaillement et résiste à la fissuration, ce qui réduit les risques de défectuosités de la liaison électrique au niveau au niveau du joint. La disposition du globule de connexion directement à l'opposé du trou d'interconnexion permet la miniaturisation du boîtier.
