Patent EP-1130906-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SILVERSTEIN AMNON D
IPC: G06F3/038
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: A process and apparatus is described to impove a digital
camera user interface and increase ease of use and
functionality of a digital camera (100) by quickly,
accurately and robustly permitting cursor control and
designation in a digital camera display (160). A digital
camera (100) is used as a pointing device such as a mouse
or trackball. The motion of the camera (100) is detected
(130), and the motion of the camera is used to position
graphic elements on the camera's own display (160). The
camera's motion can be detected (130) with sensors, such as
gyroscopes, or the camera (100) itself can be used as a
motion sensor. One application of this involves using the
camera (100) as a computer mouse, or like a gun-sight, to
select images from a sheet of low-resolution ("thumbnail")
images. The motion of the camera (100) is tracked, and the
user aims at the desired image from a sheet of thumbnail
images. The thumbnails appear to be fixed relative to the
world because the camera (100) can continuously reposition
them in the display (160) based upon the motion of the
camera (100). The user can then select (170) a thumbnail
in an intuitive manner by simply pointing the camera (100)
at the desired thumbnail. For alternative embodiments, the
interface can be used to select (170) regions of greater
extent than can be viewed in the viewer or to virtually
review images.

(13) and the lower passageway (15) to help define a portion of
the path P that extends through the printer (10) from the input
tray (32) to the output tray (34). A plurality of openings
(71-79 and 81-83) of sufficient dimensions are disposed within
the channel member (70) to help facilitate the removing of
jammed media disposed at about the defined portion of the media
path P.

Abstract: A system for determining a pacing energy stimulation
threshold of a heart chamber (12,16) for use in a cardiac
pacemaker (20) for applying to the chamber of the heart
(10) pacing electrical pulses of sufficient energy so as
to exceed a pacing energy stimulation threshold. The
system includes a pulse generator (38) which repeatedly
applies pacing electrical pulse pairs to the chamber.
Each electrical pulse pair (81,82) includes a first pulse
and a second pulse. The first pulse precedes the second
pulse and is of lesser energy that the second pulse. The
first and second pulses evoke a first and second response
respectively of the chamber. A subtractor subtracts the
second response from the first response for each pulse
pair to provide a series of capture values. The
stimulation threshold is selected when the capture values
change sign. Also disclosed is a method carried out by
the disclosed system.

Abstract: The present invention seeks to achieve a bright display in reflection type display,
reduce parallax in the case of black and white display, and realize a clear color display
in the case of color display. Above a TN liquid crystal panel 140, there is provided an
upper polarizing plate 130, and below it, there are sequentially provided a color filter
150, a lower polarizing plate 160, a light diffusion plate 170, a reflection polarizing

between the haze value H of the light diffusion plate 170 and the distance between the
light diffusion plate 170 and the light reflection plate 200 is set so as to satisfy the
formula:  H ≥ -200d + 140 , whereby it is possible to sufficiently diffuse incident light
111 passing through the light diffusion plate 170 and reaching the light reflection plate
200; in the case of black and white display, a reduction in parallax is achieved, and in
the case of color display, the reflected light can be made white.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a latent image
is formed on a rotatable photosensitive body (1)
and treated with a liquid developer (6) containing
a carrier solution and toner particles, whereupon
a visible image is formed on the body. The visible
image is transferred from the photosensitive body to
a record medium (11) through the intermediation of
an intermediate transfer body (9). The transfer
body has a surface that serves as a transfer medium.
As the transfer medium is pressed against the body
in a transfer position (PT), the visible image is
transferred from the photosensitive body to the
transfer medium. At least one of the respective
surface temperatures of the photosensitive body (1)
and the transfer medium (9) is controlled such that
T1 ≦ Tg < T2 is fulfilled where T1 and T2 are the
surface temperatures of the photosensitive body and
the transfer medium in the transfer position (PT),
respectively, and Tg is the glass transition point of
the toner particles, and that the complex coefficient
of viscosity of the toner particles at the temperature
T2 is at 10,000 poises or more.

Abstract: A gas sensor functioning by introducing the air from the outside, which can
maintain the air introduction property even at elevated temperatures. The water
repellant filter for closing the second air hole provided on the sealing member is
formed in a sheet-shape, and fixed in the second air hole via a cylindrical inserting
member. In other words, since the second water repellant filter formed in a sheet-shape,
sufficient gas permeability is obtained. Even when the oxygen sensor is
subjected to heat from the flow path, its gas permeability can be maintained because
the second water repellant filter is fixed in the sealing member and thus it is not
much affected by heat. Therefore, the air is positively introduced into the cylindrical
cover.
