Patent EP-0743616-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YOUNG RICHARD DEAN
IPC: G06M1/10
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: An apparatus and method for counting sheets of thin media is provided by illuminating with an LED array 24 the edge 5 of a plurality of sheets 8. A linear CCD array camera 20 receives the reflected light from the sheets 8, and generates a signal waveform responsive to variations in the reflected light corresponding to the sheets. A digitizer then converts the signal into a digital signal waveform for storage in a video buffer 36. The stored signal waveform is thereafter processed along one dimension of said edge using a digital signal processor 34 for locating the positions of the sheets in the waveform, and then counting the sheets. Preferably, the linear CCD array camera 20 provides a one-dimensional image of the edge 5, however a two-dimensional CCD array may be used with additional signal processing to translate its two-dimensional signal into a one-dimensional signal. The apparatus further can locate in the signal waveform rigid portions called stiffener boards 9 which border the plurality of sheets 8 or lie at intervals between the sheets. The processing in this apparatus is automatically adaptive to sheets of different media type, edge conditions, and the presence or absence of stiffener boards 9. The apparatus can be used for counting sheets comprising a pack 10, or the rotational convolutions 74 of media on a roll 70.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for heating planar and non-planar objects using microwaves, the method comprising: providing at least two beams of travelling microwaves from a coherent microwave source (4); directing each beam of travelling microwaves into separate arms (8,10) of a waveguide (6); isolating the beam of travelling microwaves in each arm using a microwave circulator (12); forming a standing wave from the travelling waves at the working area (14) where the arms meet; and varying the phase of at least one beam of travelling microwaves by altering the path length of the microwaves in the waveguide to move the standing wave. An object passing through the working area is irradiated by the microwaves, thereby generating complex interference patterns in the object. Controlling changes to the phases of the incident microwaves changes and controls the time-averaged superposition of the interference patterns, facilitating effective volumetric heating of the object.

Abstract: An error-correcting code generating circuit
includes a shift register (110, 111, 112, 113) incarnating
a generating polynomial, an exclusive logical sum
means (503), and a logical circuit means (105) for

of N bits with a single-shot of clock. Because the
error correcting code can be generated through the
parallel processing, operation can be executed at a low
speed with power consumption as involved being reduced.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for controlling the selection, in a single
object, of multiple activities implemented by plural data structures. The
invention provides a control mechanism for associating many selection
points with many actions. That is, instead of associating data with an
action, the present invention associates the action with the data.
Therefore, the object of selection becomes the control element, rather
than merely the initiator of the action. Since, the control is
understood to be a mechanism for initiating an action, the period in
which it is an object of selection must be indicated to a user. This
will indicate to the user that the state of the control has changed. The
present invention provides a control mechanism wherein a single object
can change its appearance and represent different functions that can be
implemented by a user. To do this, a mechanism is provided to associate
the various representations of the object with the data that will
implement the different functions. This mechanism may take various
forms, such as a look up table, pointers, or the like.

Abstract: A portable seat and knee-rest apparatus is provided which comprises a seat
member (4) and knee-rest (6) both of which are secured to a framework (8). The
apparatus is strapped to a person's leg so that on kneeling the seat (4) provides
support for the person's buttock and the knee-rest (6) for the person's knee. In order
to further avoid potential discomfort or worse, the knee-rest is divided into at least
two relatively moveable parts (6a, 6b). This allows movement of the knee-joint -
especially under load. A hinged connection between the two parts is proposed. More
particularly, plastics materials are employed for the parts of the knee-rest and the
hinge (52) is formed integrally from plastics. The framework comprises L-shaped

Inventor: UEBEL HELMUT
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 1997-07-30
Abstract: This invention concerns a system for semi-continuous control of a plurality of trackbound vehicles (FZ) which are equipped with radio receivers (EF) and vehicle control devices (SG). This system can be economically used both around the rail station and on open stretches and requires neither additional route cables, nor radio transmitters with a long transmission range. To points along the route where vehicles will receive control information are allocated punctual transmission devices (TR1, TR2) and short-range simultaneous tansmitters (FS). The transmission devices transmit selection criteria to the vehicles which use the signals to receive the transmitter assigned to them. The transmitter is located, for example, at the site of a signal of open line (S) and conveys its current signal indication to the vehicle. The transmission energy and the signal information are taken from the signal electrical circuits. If a punctual transmission device or the transmitter fails, the vehicle notices it. Transmitters can also be gathered near a signal box from which they receive--via data link--the data to be sent. The transmitters work preferably in a spread carrier frequency band. The data transmission channels assigned to the transmitters are formed by frequency hopping or pseudo-noise coding.

Abstract: Disclosed is an exhaust gas recirculation
system for an engine having a high compression ratio or
with a supercharger. An outside EGR duct connecting the
exhaust system to the intake system is provided with a
first control valve, which has a second outside EGR duct
bypassing the first control valve. The second EGR duct
has a second EGR control valve and a cooler. When the
engine exists in an extremely low load state, the first
and second control valves are closed to inhibit the
outside EGR. In the light load state, the first control
valve is opened while the second control valve is
closed, thereby allowing recirculation of the EGR gases
having high temperature and reducing the pumping loss.
In the high load state, the first control valve is being
closed while opening the second control valve, thereby
increasing a recirculation ratio of EGR gases cooled by
the cooler and performing both an improvement of anti-knocking
performance and a decrease in pumping loss, as
well as reducing the heat load of the exhaust system and
within the engine.

Abstract: A semiconductor wafer holder which has a contact part
with a held object to be held is described. The contact
part is constructed of a sintered silicon carbide
substrate and then coated with a dense (CVD)
silicon carbide film which has a structural component
of the (220) crystal plane orientation in Miller indices
to provide excellent grindability despite high
hardness to withstand abrasive wear, thus facilitating
surface grinding of the contact part into an ultra
smooth and flat surface without dust and put
holes. This composite material has a large modulus of
elasticity, a small specific gravity, and a very low
coefficient of thermal expansion, creating high
strength and little change in spite of exposure heat
and maintaining dimensional stability in circuit
printing. The sintered material together with the
crystallized CVD silicon carbide film of the β structure
offers an electric resistance under 10 10 Ω·cm to
provide high conductivity, thereby preventing static
dust and facilitating cleaning up.
