Patent EP-1069536-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SETA ITARU
IPC: H04N13/239
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A stereo type vehicle monitoring apparatus with a
fail-safe function comprises a pair of cameras 1, 2, a stereo
image producer 3, 4, 5, a calculator 12 and a fail decision
unit 12. The pair of cameras 1,2 take pictures of scenes
outside of a vehicle. The stereo image producer 3, 4, 5
produces a first image and a second image respectively based
on pictures taken by the cameras 1, 2. The calculator 12
calculates a level of brightness of a first monitor area in
the first image produced by the stereo image producer 3, 4,
5 and a level of brightness of a second monitor area in the
second image produced by the stereo image producer 3, 4, 5.
The fail decision unit 12 determines a failure of the vehicle
monitoring apparatus when a difference between the brightness
level of the first monitor area and the brightness level of
the second monitor area exceeds a predetermined value. The
second monitor area positionally corresponds to the first
monitor area.

Abstract: A method for segmenting and recognizing license plates,
in accordance with the present invention includes capturing an
image of a license plate (100) and preprocessing the image to
prepare the image for segmentation and recognition (110).
Forward splitting regions of the license plate image into
suspected characters regions, the suspected character regions
are recognized in the license plate image and a confidence
score is provided based on a probability of a correct match
(114). If the suspected characters have a confidence score
below a threshold value, backward merging is employed which
merges adjacent suspected character regions (116). The
backward merged suspected character regions in the license
plate are recognized. If the backward merged suspected
character regions have a confidence score below the threshold
value, the backward merging and recognizing steps are repeated
to improve the confidence score.

Abstract: A radio receiver (10) processes a carrier signal having a
Doppler shifted frequency and carrying a coded signal having
variable phase and amplitude. The coded signal is divided
into a preamble portion and a message portion. A memory (23)
stores samples of the coded signal representing at least some
of the predetermined symbols of the preamble. A logic unit
(16) divides the stored samples into a plurality of sample
groups and identifies one sample group having the minimum
variation of envelope amplitude. That sample group is used to
provide additional samples by which the Doppler shift of the
carrier frequency is estimated (70). The coded signal is
delayed by a delay operation (100) and has its Doppler shift
reduced. The Doppler reduced coded signal is processed by a
filter operation (120) and a demodulator (130).

station (402) then sends the received radio or streaming audio signal to at least one
mobile unit (412) in communication with the base station. In those cases where a
mobile unit (412) is receiving the broadcast and a conventional phone call is
received at the base station (402), then a determination is made whether or not to
send the conventional call to the mobile unit is made. In those cases where the
conventional call is to be forwarded, then the base station (402) is set to standard
mode and the conventional call is forwarded to the mobile unit (412) whereas any
other mobile unit (412) in communication with the base station (402) still receive

Abstract: The self inductance associated with a capacitance A 52  in a superconductor integrated circuit (Fig. 1) is reduced by adding a layer of superconductor metal (A54) overlying the capacitor, effectively producing a negative inductance to counteract the self-inductance of the capacitor leads, thereby reducing inductance of the circuit. As a result it possible to transfer a single flux quantum ("SFQ") pulse through the capacitor. Capacitors (19 and 25 Fig. 5) of the foregoing type are incorporated in superconductor integrated circuit SFQ transmission lines (Fig. 5) to permit SQUID-to-SQUID transfer of SFQ pulses, while maintaining the circuit grounds of the respective SQUIDs in DC isolation. Bias current (10) may be supplied to multiple SQUIDs (1& 3, 7 & 9 Fig. 5) serially, reducing the supply current required previously for operation of multiple SQUIDs.
