Patent EP-0624992-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BARANYAI LAWRENCE
IPC: H04Q3/52
Filed: 1994-04-27
Abstract: An upgrade arrangement wherein the switching functions of an in-service switch (101) or cross-connect system are transferred or "re-homed" onto a new, larger capacity switch (120) via the existing input and output ports (104,105) of the original system (101). The re-homing can be performed without loss of service, even if the original system is operating at full-capacity. By exploiting the protection redundancy engineered into existing telecommunication switching systems, all of the signals being routed through the original switch are temporarily consolidated onto only one-half (105) of the switching fabric normally required to accommodate such connectivity. This signal consolidation allows half (104) of the original switch ports to be brought off-line (without a service disruption), and linked to the new, higher capacity switching fabric (120). The signals that had been consolidated within the original switching fabric are then re-routed onto the new switching fabric (via the linked ports), and the other half of the original switch ports are brought off-line and linked to the new switching fabric. The re-routed signals (still being switched in a consolidated format within the new switching fabric) are then redistributed (un-consolidated) among the linked ports and the new switching fabric so that a normal switching pattern is reestablished. Re-homing the signals onto a single new switching fabric allows all connections to be managed from a single control point. In addition, the re-homing to the new switching fabric is operationally transparent (timing and protocols within the switching system are unaffected, and full non-blocking access is maintained), and all existing cabling to and from the original input and output ports remains intact and functioning. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the input and output ports (104,105) of the original switching fabric are linked to the new switching fabric via electro/optic interfaces, (124-127), which replace the standard input and output circuits of the original system.

Abstract: The present invention enlarges the effective screening area of a CRT for projecting while maintaining the strength of the panel (11) necessary to allow for normal usage without breaking. The inside portion of the effective screening area (A2) inside the rectangular display area (14) is of a predetermined radius, and protrudes inward, extending in all directions. The four corners (H) of the display area (14) are outside of the circular boundary line (31) comprised of the standard thickness (Tf). Non-screening areas (H) which are outside the boundary line (31) are flat or protuberant, and have a thickness greater than the standard thickness (Tf). Accordingly, with the present invention, the effective screening area (A2) can be made larger than previous effective screening areas (A1) in the prior art, which could not extend beyond a border that included the four corners, while maintaining overall the necessary strength.

Abstract: A system is disclosed which prevents suspension judder from being generated at the start of a vehicle which includes a traction control system. If the starting of the vehicle is detected based on driving-wheel speeds RL and RR, a shift position and an accelerator opening degree ϑth1, an initial torque TQ2 and a delay time are map-searched based on the accelerator opening degree ϑth1 and a steering angle ϑst. The driving force for driven wheels is limited to the initial torque TQ2, until a delay time from the starting of the vehicle has elapsed, to prevent the generation of suspension judder. When the delay time has elapsed, an accelerating increment torque TQ3 is map-searched based on the accelerator opening degree ϑth1 and the steering angle ϑst, and is added to the initial torque TQ2, thereby ensuring the accelerating performance of the vehicle.

Abstract: The optimum predictive image is selected as follows for the entire area of an image sequence comprising a luminance signal expressing each pixel value, and a transmittance signal expressing the transparency of each pixel value, and described by the transmittance signal of the target image to be coded as the area to be coded. The target image to be coded is predicted from at least one template typical of the image sequence, thereby generating a first predictive image. The target image to be coded is also predicted from the image displayed chronologically before the target image, thereby generating a second predictive image. It is then determined whether the first or the second predictive image has the least difference to the target image to be coded, and the predictive image with the least difference is selected as the optimum predictive image.

Abstract: Lawn mower height-adjust systems include three embodiments. Two permit the user to adjust the position of the deck (12) relative to each wheel (18) individually. The third permits the user to adjust the positions of all four wheels (18) simultaneously, aided by a counterbalance system. A modification of the third embodiment is available to automatically bypass the height-adjust mechanism in the event an abnormally high load is placed on the deck (12). One of the two individual systems permits an operator to adjust the position of a respective wheel (18) simply by removing a single nut and washer from an axle bolt. The second individual height-adjust system permits the operator to adjust the height of an individual wheel (18) by using one hand, and without having to disassemble the mechanism. The system which adjusts all four wheels (18) simultaneously links front and rear axle subassemblies (302,304) with a connecting rod (306), and indexes all four wheels (18) simultaneously through a release handle (324) which is recessed in a cavity formed in the lawn mower deck (12). When the operator lifts the release handle (324), he or she may simultaneously grasp a portion of the deck (12) with the same hand and easily raise or lower it to a desired position. A single unitary plastic deck (12) is the foundation for each of the three height-adjust systems, thereby significantly reducing the cost otherwise incurred by manufacturing three separate types of lawn mowers.

Abstract: The pedestrian controlled vehicle has a steering bar (12) with a control bar (22) gripped by the operator. The control bar is linked to the steering bar about a vertical axis (20) and maintains its orientation in all settings of the steering. This can be achieved by parallel side control arms (28,30) linked to the control bar by similar vertical axes. The operator swings the control bar to either side for a simple steering control, without having to move the controls into obstructions when cornering. The stabilising levers can have a wider spacing on the control bar than at the vehicle to impact a slight twisting action on the control bar during steering.

Abstract: An image sensor assembly (10) is mounted in an optical system (60) having a plurality of reference locators (66). The image sensor assembly includes an image sensing device (12) having photolithographically generated elements, such as image sensing sites (24), and a carrier package (14) for enclosing the image sensing device. The carrier package has externally accessible reference features (32, 34, 36) that are optically aligned with respect to the photolithographically generated elements on the image sensing device. Moreover, the externally accessible reference features are used to exactly constrain the image sensor assembly relative to the reference locators. Referencing the image sensing device to the same features that are used for exact constraint removes the effect of material variations that may cause dimensional changes and eliminates the need to activate the sensor for alignment of the sensor assembly in the optical system.

Abstract: An electrical device for controlling heater has a power supply connected in parallel with a heater or the like. A reducer such as a resistor is provided for reducing electrical current flowing into the heater. A switch can be operated by a controller to connect the heater to the electrical power supply or to connect the heater and the reducer in series to the electrical power supply. The controller operates the switch to disconnect the heater from the electrical power supply after operating the switch to connect the heater and the reducer in series to the power supply. Thus, even at a timing when the load of the power supply is the maximum and the capacitor charging current to the power supply increases, the change in the current through the heater becomes gradual, and the harmonic components in the current do not increase by using the reducer even if the timing of the maximum load overlaps with the timing of the stop of power supply to the heater.

Abstract: To directly overwrite data on a magnito-optical recording medium formed of two exchange-coupled magnetic layers of a memory layer with a high coercive force and a low Curie point and a reference layer with a low coercive force and a high Curie point, an initializing magnetic field (e.g. 1000 to 5000 Oe) is applied to the medium to arrange the magnetization direction of only the reference layer; a recording magnetic field (e.g. 100 to 400 Oe) is applied and simultaneously a recording laser beam modulated according to data is irradiated upon the medium to record the data as magnetization directions of the memory layer; the initializing magnetic field is applied again to the medium to arrange the magnetization direction of only the reference layer; and a reproducing magnetic field (e.g. 1000 Oe or less) is applied and simultaneously a reproducing laser beam is irradiated upon the medium to reproduce the data. Since the reproducing magnetic field the same in direction as the recording magnetic field is applied to the medium in reproducing operation, recorded data can be stably reproduced without destruction by use of a high sensitive recording medium, in particular.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (10) having an efficient blue or green light emission is obtained by growing a buffer layer (12) composed of an indium gallium nitride compound-semiconductor buffer on a sapphire substrate (14). A layer of gallium aluminum indium nitride compound-semiconductor (16A), which serves as the light emitting layer or active layer, is formed over the buffer layer (12). The light emitting layer (16A) has a similar indium content as the buffer layer (12) to match more closely the lattice constants of the layers. The lattice defects between the buffer layer (12) and the light emitting layer (16A) are decreased because the addition of indium improves the crystalline quality of the layers. The blue or green light emitting property is further improved due to the enhanced crystalline quality of the light emitting layer (16A).

Abstract: A pixel of a color video image is converted from one color format having luminance and chrominance signals, e.g., YUV format, to a destination format, e.g., RGB or CMY formats, by forming luminance and chrominance component words which include partitioned words representing various color components of the luminance and chrominance signals. The luminance and chrominance component words are summed using a partitioned addition operation to thereby accumulate the various color components of the luminance and chrominance signals simultaneously and in parallel. Formation of the luminance and chrominance component words is, in some instances, done by a load and store unit of a central processing unit while a graphics execution unit simultaneously sums the luminance and chrominance components using the partitioned addition operation. By using this technique, conversion of pixels of a color motion image from YUV format to a different formate, e.g., RGB format, is reduced from approximately 20 instruction cycles per pixel to generally less than 2.5 instruction cycles per pixel. Such a reduction in processing requirements has enabled full real-time rendering, e.g., thirty frames per second, of full-sized, digital NTSC, MPEG-compressed, motion video images using only a central processing unit and appropriately configured computer software. No additional, special-purpose hardware components were needed.
