Patent EP-1612713-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ENDO JUNPEI
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: An image processor is provided, which has the capability of detecting an object such as a human face from an image taken against the sun with high accuracy. An image signal provided from an image pickup unit is adjusted at an analog gain by an image adjuster. An output of the image adjuster is converted into a digital image data, and stored in a memory. A feature of the object is extracted from this digital image data to detect an object area in the image. When the object area is not detected, an analog-gain controller sends an analog-gain control signal to the image adjuster in a feedback manner such that the image signal provided from the image pickup unit is adjusted at a different analog gain. Thus, the treatment of detecting the object area is repeated at different analog gains.

Abstract: The collimation lens (3) captures all the light from a LED (1) with a very wide, e.g. 180 degree cone emission angle. The lens produces beams (2,15,16,ZS) with a small angle of divergence. The LED fits into a recess (10) in the bottom of the V-section lens element. The recess for the LED has a convex lens at the top (12) and cylindrical walls (11). Light passing through the walls is totally internally reflected from a first curved bottom portion. Some of the light passes through an annular lens element (24) and some light is totally internally reflected from a sloping top surface (22) and again from a sloping rear surface (26) to escape through a lens region at the rim of the V-section lens element.

Abstract: A system (10) and method (50) for stabilizing a welding arc is disclosed. The
method of initiating the arc includes the steps of defining a wire feed speed based on a
user selected wire feed speed (54) and then abruptly reducing the wire feed speed (66)
before the wire feed speed reaches a relatively stabilized speed for welding, thereby
allowing a welding arc to initiate and propagate to a generally steady state.

Abstract: An apparatus for tying a knot on one or more cords comprises a knotting
channel that is continuous in an active mode of the apparatus, the cord or cords being
transported through said channel by an air drive so as to form a loose knot. The apparatus
comprises two rigid end parts (19, 22), each comprising a slotted portion of the knotting
channel and a connection (20) for the air drive, and furthermore a rigid intermediate part (26)
that, in the active mode, closes off said slotted portions between the end parts so as to form
portions of the knotting channel, making the knotting channel continuous by means of a recess
in the intermediate part. A mechanism is further provided for moving the respective parts
away from one another into an inactive mode, such that the slotted portions become exposed
and the loose knot can be tightened by a force applied to the cord or cords. 
     In particular, the end parts are arranged in an axial direction, and the intermediate part
(26) extends in forward direction between said end parts (19, 22) transversely to said axial
direction up to an end line in the active mode, said end parts substantially merging into one
another at the location of said end line. Furthermore, the intermediate part widens from the end
line transversely to the axial direction, and the inactive mode is achieved through a
substantially non-rotational movement of at least two of said parts of the apparatus from the
active mode in a direction away from said end line.

Abstract: Pressing plates (72) press side faces of a roll paper loaded into a roll paper
holder unit (15) of the drop-in type, thereby preventing overrun of the roll paper (30)
caused by an inertia force from occurring. Each of the pressing plates (72) is urged
by two coil springs (76,77) which are placed respectively on inner and outer
circumference sides of the roll paper. The coil spring (77) on the outer circumference
side has a higher elasticity than the coil spring (76) on the inner circumference side.
According to the configuration, the pressing force of the pressing plates due to the
elasticity of the coil springs is gradually reduced in accordance with reduction of a
diameter of the roll paper.

Abstract: An arrangement with or in the form of a gas spring, comprising a first and second gas chamber with one or more devices separating these, which devices are arranged to increase the volume of the first chamber and reduce the volume of the second chamber, or vice versa, when a difference in pressure arises in the chamber. The invention also relates to a method for determining the spring characteristics of a gas spring, with the spring characteristics being created only by a first device, by means of which the space in the gas cylinder is divided into a first gas chamber and a second gas chamber, or in combination with a second device which is arranged in an additional chamber, which is divided by the second device into a third chamber and a fourth chamber that are connected to the first chamber and the second chamber respectively. The first or second device is arranged as a separating device that brings about an increase in the volume of the first chamber or the third chamber and a reduction in the volume of the second chamber or the fourth chamber, or vice versa, in response to a pressure difference between the first chamber and the second chamber or the third chamber and the fourth chamber. By means of the invention, a gas spring is obtained that is compact and divides up movement, and that has advantageous spring characteristics and a large gas volume.

Title: Rotor
Inventor: PROBST ULRICH
IPC: H02K11/00
Filed: 2005-01-08
Abstract: The invention concerns a rotor combining the advantages of a single-piece wheel, which, when it is operating, only exhibits a slight and constant variation in shape (expansion shift) in the guiding region of its path, with those of a rimmed rotor with spokes, enabling, by virtue of its light weight, the bearings to be easily arranged. Further, because of its tendency to exhibit a tensile stress higher than a bending load, the rotor provides for a wide selection of rotor materials. The rotor has at least one segment arranged on the hub, enclosing at least a closed recess. A preferred embodiment concerns a rotor comprising at least three rotor segments uniformly distributed, said segments having each two recesses, such that the regions of materials surrounding them are in the form of three spokes arranged substantially parallel. The inventive rotor is particularly suitable for receiving graphite crystals, in the form or a vibrating disc for a back-scattering spectrometer.
