Patent EP-1756455-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CAMPANY ANDREW DANIEL
IPC: F16K31/04
Filed: 2005-03-24
Abstract: An actuator comprising a motor for rotating a shaft connected via a gear train to an output device; an interrupter vane connected to the output device and adapted to travel in a path corresponding to the movement of the output device; and at least two interrupter switches, such as opto-interrupter switches, spaced apart from one another along the path of the interrupter vane at locations corresponding to travel limits of the output device. A controller energizes the motor in response to a command signal and de-energizes the motor in response to an indication from one of the interrupter switches that the output device is at or approaching one of the travel limits. The actuator may be a rotary or linear actuator, and may be particularly well-suited for avionics applications.

IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 2005-09-28
Abstract: The invention relates to media management and combats media degradations arising when transcoding the media (1OA, 30A). The invention solves this by- generating processing hints based on the media transcoding. The hints are employed for controlling a post-transcoding processing of the transcoded media content (1OB, 2OB, 30B) in connection with rendering the media. The hints and this controlled processing increases the user-perceived quality when rendering the media (1OC, 2OC, 30C) by mitigating the media degradations caused by the transcoding. The processing hints could specify how the actual transcoding was performed by including values of the employed transcoding parameters or information of the alterations to the media (1OB, 2OB, 30B) caused by transcoding. Furthermore, instructions or commands for appropriate post-transcoding processing could also be processing hints according to the invention.

Abstract: A device manages a management database in the form of objects to be managed that are referenced according to a reference specification. Equipment exchanges management data in the form of data structures indicated by patterns each corresponding to a respective referenced object and being assigned a respective identifier. In order to manage a given object, the device and the equipment store synchronization information associating the reference of the given object and the corresponding pattern identifier. In order to manage a given object, the equipment sends the corresponding pattern assigned the respective identifier and a data ticket which has a structure indicated by said pattern and is assigned said identifier. The device translates the pattern into the respective referenced object as a function of the identifier of said pattern and the synchronization information, and then stores the data from the received ticket in the management database.

The angle alpha compensates for this tilt, resulting in linear contact between the foot (18) and a guide. In a further embodiment, the foot edges (19, 20) are thicker than the remainder of the foot. An independent claim is also included for a textile knitting machine equipped with a bank of commensurate knitting needles.
