Title: R gulation de temp rature transitoire en sortie de turbine pour turbog n rateur
Inventor: GILBRETH MARK
IPC: F02C9/26
Filed: 2001-11-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne la régulation d'un turbogénérateur utilisant, d'une part une boucle de température délivrant le combustible à la chambre de combustion pour entretenir une température attendue en sortie de turbine, et d'autre part une boucle de régulation de vitesse qui intervient sur la vitesse du turbogénérateur de façon à garder en sortie une puissance attendue. Lorsque la puissance de sortie attendue diminue, la vitesse du turbogénérateur diminue d'autant, ce qui fait que la température attendue en sortie de turbine augmente de façon transitoire de façon à conserver une arrivée suffisante de combustible à la chambre de combustion et éviter l'arrêt du turbomoteur.

Abstract: A circumscribing rectangle is obtained for a
black continuous image part using a two-tone image
signal. If it is determined (in S105) that the image
part is possibly one which is obtained as a result of
rotating the object, lengths of sides of the image
part are compared with threshold values (in S106 and
S108). If it is determined (in S105) that the image
part is not one which is obtained as a result of
rotating the object, the height and horizontal length
of the circumscribing rectangle are compared with the
threshold values (in S107 and S108). Thus, it is
determined (in S115 and 5116) whether or not the image
part is identical to the object. An RGB chromaticity
histogram is produced for each of small regions of an
input color image (in S202A). Each of the
chromaticity histograms of the small regions is
compared with reference ones (in S202A). As a result
of the comparison, an identification number of the
reference histogram having the highest similarity to
that of the small region among those constituting the
input image is given to the small region (in S204). A
histogram of the identification numbers thus is
produced for the input color image (in S204). The
thus-produced histogram is used to determine (in S205) 
which one of a plurality of objects is identical to
the input color image.

unit (4), a radar unit (2), and a network (5) connected to the imageprocessing
unit (1), the radar unit (2), the information-merging
unit (4) and a vehicle control unit (6) capable of controlling the
traveling operation of a host vehicle. The imageprocessing unit (1)
recognizes headway distance, the azimuth, relative speed and
width of the preceding vehicle, and the position of the host vehicle
in a lane. The radar unit recognizes headway distance, the azimuth
and relative speed of the preceding vehicle. The information-merging
unit (4) receives recognition results provided by the
imageprocessing unit (1) and the radar unit (2) through the network
(5), merges the recognition results, identifies recognition objects
relating to the recognition results. When a vehicle relating to
the recognition results provided by the image-processing unit (1)
and a vehicle relating to the recognition results provided by the
radar unit (2) are one and the same vehicle, the information-merging
unit (4) produces output information by adding a
sensor information indicating that the vehicles are one and the
same vehicle to the recognition results, and sends the output information
through the network (5) to the vehicle control unit (6).

Abstract: A method for processing error codes in compressed encoded images transmission
is disclosed. In this method, when error codes have been detected at the receiving end,
the image code stream data with error codes is discarded before decoding the image
code stream data, and the discarded image code stream data is replaced with the image
code stream data located at the corresponding location of the previous frame, and
image code stream data is decoded continually. More preferably, the method further
comprises: setting a mark array for the image code stream data before decoding at the
receiving end to record the locations where error codes have been detected. With this
method, sending intra-frame images at transmitting end and freezing images at
receiving end are avoided or their occurrence times is reduced, so image quality is

Abstract: A collision free access method is disclosed for scheduling the access of mobile stations to cellular network having an air interface built in TDMA-CDMA technique where the access procedure is performed on two steps: in the first the mobile station sends a signature for getting the network acknowledgement and the second step is for transmitting the RACH message and the RACH message can be of variable size. The proposed method allows for a multimode operation of the cellular network where the different modes allow for different RACH message sizes based on the fact that the mobile stations adapt the values of the parameters which control the access procedure based on the parameter values of the RACH message they are requested to send according to the supported mode.
