Patent EP-1039213-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAWAGUCHI YOSHIFUMI
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2000-03-27
Abstract: With headlamps of the related configuration, the amount of light in a horizontal
direction is insufficient when the width of a reflector is narrowed, and a broad light
distribution in the horizontal direction is therefore difficult. This imposes design
limitations. In the present invention, an oblong headlamp (1,10) comprises a first reflector (3)
and a third reflector (5) constituted by two ellipse group reflectors and sharing one light
source (2) at a first focal point, wherein a second focal point of the first reflector (3) is above
its first focal point and a second focal point of the third reflector (5) is positioned below its
first focal point in reference to the direction of illumination, comprising further a
second parabolic group reflector (4) positioned above the  first reflector (3) having a focal
point at the second focal point of the first reflector (3), and a fourth parabolic group
reflector (6) positioned below the third reflector (5) having a focus at thesecond focal point
of the third reflector (5). Light from the light source (2) converged by the first ellipse group
reflector (3) and third reflector (5) is then supplied to the
second (4) and fourth (6) parabolic group
reflectors and a bright oblong headlamp is therefore made possible.

Abstract: An image recognition apparatus operates on data of
a color image to obtain an edge image expressing the
shapes of objects appearing in the color image, the
apparatus including a section (21) for expressing the
color attributes of each pixel of the image as a color
vector, in the form of a set of coordinates of an
orthogonal color space, a section (22) for applying
predetermined arrays of numeric values as edge
templates to derive for each pixel a number of edge
vectors each corresponding to a specific edge
direction, with each edge vector obtained as the
difference between weighted vector sums of respective
sets of color vectors of two sets of pixels which are
disposed symmetrically opposing with respect to the
corresponding edge direction, and a section (23) for
obtaining the maximum modulus of these edge vectors as
a value of edge strength for the pixel which is being
processed. By comparing the edge strength of a pixel
with those of immediately adjacent pixels and with a
predetermined threshold value, a decision can be
reliably made for each pixel as to whether it is
actually located on an edge and, if so, the direction
of that edge.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for determining a drop
probability for use in a congestion control module located in a node in a network is
disclosed. A weight value for determining a weighted moving average of a queue in
a node is first systematically calculated. The weighted moving average is calculating
and an average queue size for the node is determined based upon the weighted
moving average. A control function associated with the congestion control module is
evaluated using the average queue size to determine the drop probability. The weight
value may be calculated by first determining a sampling period for measuring the
queue size. Next, a time period for which samples significantly contribute to the
average queue size is calculated. The weight is determined based upon the sampling
period and the time period. In a further embodiment, the control function is
calculated based upon a queue function where the queue function is calculated based
upon predetermined system parameters. The control function may be selected based
upon a queue policy for management of the queue. From the queue policy a
threshold value which lies along the queue function curve is determined. This point
provides a minimum value for the maximum point of the control function so as to
avoid oscillations within the buffer. A maximum point may then be selected which
resides outside of the curve for the queue function. The control function may then be
selected so that the control function crosses through the maximum point. Thus, when
the congestion control module drops packets based upon the drop probability
determined by the control function the queue will not oscillate.
