Patent EP-0774862-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FALK JOSEPH S
IPC: B64D47/08
Filed: 1996-11-15
Abstract: A sensor mount apparatus includes a loop for carrying
a sensor payload. An upper portion of the loop includes
at least one upper attachment point for receiving at
least one upper tether line. A lower portion of the loop
includes at least one lower attachment point to connect
the sensor mount apparatus to a lower tether line. The
sensor mount apparatus further includes an upper plate
mounted to the loop, a lower plate for carrying a sensor
payload, and a slide mechanism mounted between the two
plates. The slide mechanism operates to slidably move
the lower plate relative to the upper plate so that the
lower plate and sensor payload attached to the lower
plate move to a position where the sensing device of the
sensor payload is not obstructed by the loop. Where the
sensor payload is an optical sensor, such as a camera,
the camera may be positioned to see an unobstructed,
three hundred sixty degree field of view. A free mount
arrangement between the upper plate and the loop reduces
sensor performance degradation when the loop is under
stress.

Abstract: A transformation coding apparatus for a block including a boundary of
an object having a certain shape is provided, which includes a transformer
(31) for transforming an input block and outputting transformation
coefficients, a transformation coefficient selector (32) for selecting and
outputting transformation coefficients using the transformation coefficients and
the input block, an inverse transformer (33) for inversely transforming the
transformation coefficients selected by the transformation coefficient select
means and outputting a restored block, an encoder (34) for variable-length-coding
the select coefficients selected by the transformation coefficient select
means (32) and a repetition controller (32) for calculating a mean square error
of the input block and the restored block, comparing the calculated result with
a predetermined reference value and determining whether or not coefficient
selection is continued. The transformation coding apparatus for a block
including a boundary of an object having a certain shape selects a select
coefficient which maximizes a ratio of the mean square error ΔMSE(k) which
is decreased according to the added select coefficient (k-th coefficient), with
respect to the amount ΔMSE(k) of variation of the bit quantity which is
increased according to the added coefficient (k-th coefficient) when selecting
a transformation coefficient, to thereby enhance an original quality of picture
and reduce the amount of the necessary bits.

Abstract: Described is a process for producing a semiconductor
device which comprises, upon production of said
semiconductor device, adhering a surface protecting
pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet on the main surface side
of a semiconductor wafer having a circuit formed thereon
and a resist material on the circuit, grinding the reverse
side of said wafer while protecting said main surface side
and then peeling said pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet to
remove said resist material, which has been transferred by
adhesion to said pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, from
said wafer. This process makes it possible to improve the
workability upon production, reduce the number of the
steps, thereby suppressing a percent defective and avoid
various harms which would otherwise occur owing to water
infiltrated upon reverse-side grinding.

Abstract: In the field of hydraulic vehicle control, it is known to provide joystick
controllers. However, in the past such controllers have only provided a
control signal the amplitude of which increases with movement of the
joystick handle. This is unsuitable for controlling the steering of many
vehicles. 
     The invention relates to a control apparatus (10) incorporating a pressure
control capsule including a moveable spool (13) capable of developing
supply fluid pressure (P) in an outlet (14). The actuator pin (25) of the
capsule is operated by the underside of a rocker (54) pivotable about its
mid-point (55). The opposite end of the rocker (54) is acted on by a pin
(30) connectable to one operator pad (102) of a joystick controller. This
provides a reduction in the pressure developed in the outlet (14) with
increasing joystick movement. 
     The arrangement allows space in the housing (11) of the apparatus for a
further function (91) operable via the joystick. In the preferred
embodiment, the additional function (91) includes a joystick detent
operable via a switchable electromagnet (84).

parallel to and between the planar surfaces of the housing, at the opening in
the housing, and is held at a second position different from the first position,
parallel to the planar surfaces of the housing and adjacent to the first parallel
planar surface of the housing, the printed circuit board having a flex region

and a second input/output port which couples the serial interface module
transceiver to an external device. A method of operating the portable IC card
reading device includes reading a stored value from an IC card when the IC
card is inserted in the device, receiving user input corresponding to an
amount of a planned purchase, and automatically calculating and displaying
an expected balance after the planned purchase. Further, after making the
planned purchase with the IC card, a stored value from the IC card is read
when the IC card is inserted in the device, and the value read is displayed.

Abstract: A closed-loop system for regulating a fiber
optic gyroscope is configured so that the residual error
of a so-called deadbeat system assumes a higher order
function of frequency. The closed-loop gyro includes a
rate controller (46) within the feedback path. The rate
controller receives the gyro output from the last loop
transit corrected for d.c. offset and for nominal dither
and outputs a gyro rate estimate. The rate controller
includes a plurality of feedback integrators (46A,46B) in cascaded
relationship. In this way, the residual gyro error
associated with inherent loop delay is elevated to a
higher-order relationship to sensed gyro rate. As a
result, a substantial reduction in residual error as a
function of sensed gyro rate occurs throughout the range
of operational gyro frequencies.

Abstract: A cap assembly (24) for use with a centrifuge
container (10) includes a stopper (84)(plug) member to provide a
fluid-tight seal of an open end of the container. The
stopper member includes a channel (124) therethrough. A lid (34)

depending portions are adapted to close off an opening of
the channel when the lid and stopper are assembled.
Removal of the lid opens the channel, allowing air to
flow into the container, and in this way any vacuum that
develops in the container during a centrifugation run is
released by such action.
