Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamic contrast improvement in
video pictures is proposed. There is a strong demand for
picture contrast but each video display has a limited
dynamic range. The picture contrast can't be increased by
simply increasing the video signal amplitude because
exceeding the display dynamic range in some video scenes
causes unwanted disturbing effects. 
     According to the basic solution of the invention the video
pictures are analysed framewise in real time and the
parameters of a transfer function for contrast improvement
are adjusted depending on the analysis results for the best
subjective picture quality.

Filed: 1999-07-05
Abstract: Typically the mixer has a conical end section closed by a removable cover (14) with a central entry conduit for cooked ingredients. These are frozen separately, or coated in sauce and simultaneously frozen. The refrigerant fluid, e.g. liquid nitrogen, is fed in by an injector nozzle (24), with a vacuum connector (44) for air removal, adjacent to the conduit entry. The delivery pipe (20) includes a flexible hose section, to facilitate cover manipulation, and an elbow (32). Its free end (26), receiving the incoming fluid supply, includes a manually or automatically operated stop valve (28). The pipe includes an electrically controlled interrupter valve (34), opening and closing in synchronism with the mixer's beater to prevent nitrogen impinging on the blades. This valve is placed downstream of a reduced section zone with a calibrated orifice for the expansion of the liquid nitrogen. The elbow (32), downstream of the orifice, effects, through centrifugal forces, a natural separation of the liquid and gaseous phases, creating a liquid stream on the outside of the bend and a gas stream on the inside. A manometer (36) is inserted upstream of the orifice, also a bleed valve (38). To avoid fluid trapping, and facilitate purging, the downstream pipe sections are inclined at e.g. 15 deg. to the horizontal.

Abstract: A toy producing a jumping or bouncing action includes an outer body depicting a fanciful animal and an interior support structure which includes an elongated body housing having a head portion and supporting a tail portion. A pair of leg units having a corresponding pair of supporting feet are slidable within the body housing and are joined by a transversely extending leg unit bridge. A gear drive unit includes an electric motor and a plurality of drive gears which rotate a gear segment. The gear segment engages a gear rack on the leg unit bridge and is operative when the motor is energized to drive the toy figure toward a squatting position as the leg units are drawn into the body housing. A spring is coupled between the leg unit bridge and the body housing and is stretched as the gear segment rotates lifting the gear rack. When the teeth of the gear segment move out of engagement with the gear rack, the spring produces a thrusting force upon the leg units causing the toy to bounce or jump. The action repeats until a timer within a control unit operative upon the motor has timed out a predetermined interval.
Patent EP-1057159-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FRIEDERICH MICHAEL
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1999-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing the collision of a vehicle with an obstacle located in front of the vehicle, preferably with another vehicle driving in front of said vehicle, whereby the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, the difference between the speeds of the vehicle and the obstacle (relative speed) and the speed and the acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle are detected. On the basis of said information, a braking operation is triggered. The invention is characterized in that the activity of the driver, the state of the driveway, the loading condition and the degree of overlapping of the vehicle in relation to the obstacle are detected. On the basis of this data, a first distance (D_brems) between the vehicle and the obstacle is calculated. Said distance is at least required to avoid a collision of the vehicle with the obstacle by changing the direction of the vehicle. An automatic braking operation is started only when the detected distance is smaller than the first calculated distance and smaller than the second calculated distance and when the degree of overlapping exceeds a given threshold.

IPC: H01L21/314

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is ferroelectric thick-layer structures based on load perovskites on an aluminium oxide substrate. The invention exploits the good adhesion between lead perovskites and a substrate made of aluminium oxide, and between lead perovskites and platinum, and thereby avoids a mechanically unstable contact between the platinum and the aluminium oxide substrate. According to the invention, this problem is solved using a thick-layer structure in which the aluminium oxide substrate is in contact with a layer of lead perovskite, onto which a further electrode layer is applied. Electrodes are improved with the use of a composite of a precious metal and lead perovskite. The method for the preparation of thick-layer structure is simplified by consecutive printing of layers and simultaneous firing of all layers. If lead perovskites are fired to closed porosity at a temperature of up to 1050 °C, gold can be used as the electrode material instead of platinum. This eliminates the need for an intermediate lead perovskite binding layer between the aluminium oxide substrate and the gold electrode.

Abstract: A cleat has cam (6) which in the first configuartion is constrained by lever (4) which is pivoted at pivot (5) from housing (3) such that cam (6) grips rope between its surface and that of the base in housing (3). Lever (4) may be rotated to an extent such that cam (6) and cam axis (7) move away and release rope (1) in the second configuration. Lever (4) may then be rotated in the opposite direction to move cam (6) and cam axis (7) back towards rope (1) to return to the first configuration. The mechanical relationship between the movement of lever (4) and its geometry restraining cam (6) to grip rope, enables rope (1), for a range of different cross-sectional rope diameters, to be released easily at comparatively high applied loads on rope (1). Movement between both the first and the second configurations may be achieved at a distance from or close to the cleat by controlled movement of the rope emerging from housing (3).

Ce dispositif comprend une matrice rectangulaire de processeurs élémentaires et un contrôleur. Il offre un certain nombre de techniques permettant de déplacer des données images dans la matrice. Une première technique, l'option 'ROLL', déplace simultanément les plans image dans des directions opposées à l'intérieur de la matrice. Une deuxième technique, l'option de déplacement à porte, soumet le déplacement normal du plan image dans le PE adjacent à une condition définie pour chaque PE par une valeur mémorisée dans un registre de motifs propre à chaque PE. Une troisième technique, l'option de propagation-transport, combine les calculs d'une pluralité de PE afin de réaliser une opération de n-bits en moins de n impulsions d'horloge par la formation de supercellules dans la matrice. Le dispositif comprend en outre un registre de motifs X multi-bits et un registre de motifs Y multi-bits. Ces registres ont des valeurs de bit correspondant aux colonnes respectives(pour le registre de motifs x) et aux rangées respectives (pour le registre de motifs y) de la matrice. Les motifs peuvent être propagés à partir de ces registres dans des rangées et des colonnes correspondantes. En outre ces registres peuvent être utilisé pour recevoir des valeurs représentant le OU logique des signaux générés par les PE individuels dans les rangées et les colonnes respectives. Plusieurs registres de données globaux sont en outre utilisés pour mémoriser l'information qui peut être rediffusée dans la matrice de traitement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la découverte du rôle actif des oligonucléobases de recombinaison dans les cellules eucaryotes qui présentent une activité de transfert de brin (RecA) et une activité de réparation de mésappariement (MutS). Sur la base d'un tel système, on a montré qu'un vecteur duplex mutationnel appelé vecteur hétéroduplex mutationnel était plus actif dans les cellules procaryotes que les types de vecteurs mutationnels testés jusqu'à présent. On a encore amélioré l'activité en remplaçant le segment de liaison tétrathymidine par un oligonucléotide résistant à la nucléase, du type tétra-2'-O-méthyl-uridine, de manière à lier les deux brins de l'oligonucléobase de recombinaison. Une autre amélioration a consisté à éliminer le segment intervenant qui contient de l'ADN. L'invention concerne donc des vecteurs hétéroduplex mutationnels présentant les améliorations décrites. Selon un aspect, l'invention concerne l'utilisation desdits vecteurs dans les cellules procaryotes.
