Patent EP-1383074-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MURAMATSU TAKEHARU
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: When a two-dimensional code having data cells (referred to
as DC) comprising two-dimensional data, positioning finder
patterns (referred to as FP) and an alignment pattern (referred
to as AP) is input, the positions of FP are detected by
evaluating the proximity from patterns in three horizontal,
vertical and inclined directions. The position of AP is
detected by conducting the template matching after the rotation
correction of part of the input image. The version of the code
is determined by calculation of the number of cells from the
widths and positions of FP. Coordinate conversion expressions
for converting the positions of DC into their coordinate
positions based upon the positions of FP and AP and the version
are determined and DC are cut out. The array of the cut out
DC is decoded for reading the two-dimensional code.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering molybdenum
from a lubricant source into a fuel combustion system or to the exhaust therefrom. By the
present invention, molybdenum from the lubricant or the fuel will interact with phosphorus,
sulfur, and/or lead from the combustion products. In this manner, the molybdenum scavenges or
inactivates harmful materials which have migrated into the fuel or combustion products, and
which can otherwise poison catalytic converters, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic
devices. The present invention can also lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment
systems.

Abstract: Soot content in Diesel engine lubrication oil (28) is determined
using electrical resistance measurements of the oil at high frequency. A sensor
(10) in the form of a capacitor (26) is immersed in the oil, wherein the oil serves
as a dielectric between the plates (22, 24). The capacitance (C) and resistance
(R) between the plates change as a function of engine oil condition. An
inductor (54) is placed in series with the sensor, and high frequencies are
sweeped over a range to fmd resonance where the capacitive and inductive
reactances cancel. At this frequency, the resistance (R) of the oil (28) is
measured and the condition of the oil thereby determined.

Abstract: A computer program provides fast generation and testing of probable prime numbers for cryptographic applications. The program instructions executed on computer hardware execute steps that include a smart increment program function that finds successive candidates using a table of congruent values that are relatively prime to a selected set of very small primes do identify an increment to the next candidate, thereby sieving out about 3/4ths of the really obvious components that don't need to be subjected to trial division. The program instructions also include a small primes testing program function that speeds trial division against a list of small primes by carrying out the division on modular reduced values rather than the very large candidates themselves. Only the about 10 % of the candidates that pass the small primes test will then be subjected to more rigorous, but time consuming, probable primality tests.
