Patent EP-1523175-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WEITBRUCH SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: The invention concerns an automatic format decision related
to the useful picture content part of a picture signal (INP)
that may contain black bars and/or subtitles in the active
picture. The processing includes:
     Determining (HLPF, BLADJ, GRDHT, BBI) whether or not black
bars are present in the active picture by analysing the
presence of significant horizontal borders, and where said
borders are located;   Determining (LCI) whether or not a luminous area located
vertically in the middle of the useful picture content is
present.   
     It is decided (FDEC) that the format of a current useful
picture content part is not different from the format of a
previous useful picture content part if the number (B1CNT,
B2CNT) of luminance pixel values having a 'black' level exceeds
a count number threshold. 
     It is decided (FDEC) that the current format is different if
there are not too many candidate black bar borders, and the
number (B1CNT, B2CNT) of luminance pixel values having a
'black' level exceeds the count number threshold, and there
is a sufficient number (LGHTCNT) of bright pixel values in
the middle area.

Abstract: A pump apparatus in accordance with the present
invention is used to discharge a process gas from, for
example, a semiconductor manufacturing system, and is
constructed so that a rotor is pivotally supported by a
magnetic bearing (8,10,12). To decrease the solidification and
deposition of process gas in a tube of the pump apparatus,
heat is generated in a bearing electromagnet of magnetic
bearing to keep the temperature of tube at a high
temperature. Heat is generated in the bearing
electromagnet, for example, by causing a bias current to
flow together with a control current, or by causing a high
frequency current to flow. Also, a motor (10) is heated by
repeating the increase and decrease of rotational speed of
motor (10), whereby the temperature of tube can be raised.

Abstract: It is known that reforming implantable defibrillator
capacitors at least partially restores and preserves their
charging efficiency. An industry-recognized standard is to
reform implantable capacitors by pulse discharging the
connected electrochemical cell about once every three months
throughout the useful life of the medical device. A Li/SVO
cell typically powers such devices. The present invention
relates to methodologies for significantly minimizing, if
not entirely eliminating, the occurrence of voltage delay
and irreversible Rdc growth in the about 25% to 70% DOD
region by subjecting Li/SVO cells to novel discharge
regimes. At the same time, the connected capacitors in the
cardiac defibrillator are reformed to maintain them at their
rated breakdown voltages.

Abstract: Disclosed is an AGC detector device and an AGC detecting method for television receivers displaying video pictures consisting of a plurality of horizontal lines to be built up successively, wherein a CVBS signal is inputted which includes horizontal sync pulses having a front porch region and a back porch region and occurring once a horizontal line during a horizontal sync period when generating a current video picture, and further includes vertical sync pulses occurring during a vertical sync period before the generation of a new video picture and including serration pulses which occur during a serration pulse region being part of the vertical sync period. Further, gating pulses are generated having a period which is equal to the line period of the horizontal sync pulses. Said gating pulses are adjusted such that they occur at the back porch region of the horizontal sync pulses. The particularity of the invention is that the occurrence of the gating pulses is shifted during the serration pulse region of the vertical sync period so that the gating pulses occur earlier by a time interval corresponding to the time distance between a front porch region and the next back porch region or later by a time interval corresponding to the time distance between a back porch region and the next front porch region.

Abstract: A system is used where a print portal 100 that is functions at least as an intermediary server and a print station are connected on a network. The print portal 100 receives a job from a job resource 10 via the network and manages it for the respective executive authority person. When the executive authority person uses an instruction client 40 to instruct the intermediary server to output the job, the intermediary server authenticates the executive authority person by way of biometric authentication or the like, and then transfers the job to the print station 30. This enables an improper printing or mistaken printing to be avoided since the printing can be performed in response to the instruction of the person who has the true executive authority of the job.

Abstract: A guiding catheter includes a Doppler sensor disposed at a distal end of a flexible shaft. The Doppler sensor can sense a blood flow turbulence level within a chamber of the heart or a blood vessel of the heart. Detecting changes in a blood flow turbulence level is used to assist guiding of the distal end of the flexible shaft. The Doppler sensor may include a piezoelectric sensor or an optical sensor. The sensor readings may be processed to show turbulence through a time domain or frequency domain presentation of velocity. The sensor readings can be used to modulate an audible waveform to indicate turbulence. The guiding catheter may further include steering apparatus enabling deflection of the distal tip.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible hose easily converted to a rigid hose. The flexible-rigid bimodal hose comprises a plurality of adjacently engaged hollow members defining a tube having a first end, a second end, and an elongated hollow. A flexible tube as well as a cable pass through the hollow and extend therethrough. The cable acts as a means to apply tension on the hollow members. The hose has a flexible state in which each one of the hollow members is rotating in respect to neighboring hollow member and a rigid state in which the hollow members are forced together by the cable so that there is no relative movement between neighboring hollow members. An actuation means, which can be mechanically or hydraulically operated, is adapted to apply different tensile forces on the cable.
