Title: Tyre monitoring system
Inventor: TENCH MICHAEL DENNIS ROY
IPC: B60C23/06
Filed: 1990-07-27
Abstract: The system is for monitoring the state of inflation of the tyres on the wheels of a vehicle whilst the vehicle is in motion. The system relies on the predetermined relationship between the tyre pressure and the ratio of the vehicle speed to the rotational speed of the wheels. For each wheel the rotational speed (1) is measured and compared (5) with the measured vehicle speed (2). The comparison determines whether the rotational speed of each wheel accords with the speed of the vehicle on the basis of the proper rolling radius of the tyred wheel, i.e. the expected rolling radius when the tyre is correctly inflated. A dashboard display (7) indicates when there is a lack of correspondence between the two speed values, due for example to a flat tyre. By suitable calibration a direct indication of tyre pressures can be provided. <IMAGE>

Title: Heat-sealable electrical connector sheet
Inventor: FUJINAMI NAOKI
IPC: H05K1/09
Filed: 1993-02-18
Abstract: A heat-sealable connector sheet, by which very reliable electric connection with electrode terminals on an electronic device or a circuit board can be obtained, comprises a flexible insulating plastics substrate sheet 1 and a patterned electroconductive layer 2 formed thereon from an electroconductive paste 2a with an overcoating layer of an insulating melt- flowable adhesive 4. The electroconductive paste used is compounded with an appropriate amount of relatively coarse particles 2b of an insulating material having elasticity, e.g. plastic resins and fully embedded in the conductive paste but forming protrusions on the surface of the patterned electroconductive layer, which accordingly exhibits a rugged appearance. An optional underlayer of electroconductive material 2A without insulating particles, is provided. When laid with the pattern adjacent electric terminals and subjected to heat and pressure, the patterns terminate to the terminals and the adhesive flows to provide good insulation between the connections, with substrate 1 providing an insulating covering. <IMAGE>

Title: Video frame rate conversion from higher to lower frame rates
Inventor: GALT JOHN
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: In converting a first input video signal of higher frame (field) rate, say 60 Hz, to a second output video signal of lower frame (field) rate, such as 24 Hz for producing cinema film, information from every frame of the first signal temporally overlapping a frame of the output signal is used in producing pixels of that frame. The input signals may be weighted by a factor proportional to the amount of overlap between them and the output signals. Using this method avoids the 12 Hz judder produced in the conventional frame dropping method. <IMAGE>

Title: Image processing system for processing data associated with straight line       vectors and having input switching function
Inventor: FUKUSHIMA TOKUTARO
IPC: G09G5/393
Filed: 1994-02-25
Abstract: An image-memory stores image data in a form such that the stored image data may be used for realizing the corresponding image on a recording medium. A straight-line-vector processing unit processes straight line vector image data so that the resulting data may be used to be stored in the image-memory. A data switching unit switches so that either the data obtained from the straight-line-vector processing unit or data obtained from an image inputting unit (eg a scanner) may be stored in the image-memory. A data expanding unit expands the image data provided from a host computer into the corresponding main-scan-direction straight line vectors. A data generating unit generates the start and end addresses associated with the straight line vectors and the relevant density values associated with the image data. The image-memory comprises areas, each provided for a respective basic color component associated with the data to be stored, for storing either single tone values or multi-tone values. An image rendering unit writes the image data in each dot in the image-memory means based on the data provided by the straight-line-vector processing means. <IMAGE>
