Abstract: Electric apparatus (1) responsive to currents and/or voltages having wide dynamic ranges incorporates ranging circuits (27, 81) for each input in which a multiplexer (47, 97) providing the ranging selection has a common input (55, 105) connected to the output of an operational amplifier (35, 87) providing the selective gain, and has a plurality of outputs (57-61, 107-111) connecting selected ones of a plurality of series connected precision resistors (41-45, 91-95) in a feedback loop (39, 89) around the operational amplifier (35, 87). A second operational amplifier (63, 115) is connected as a follower to the last output (61, 111) of the multiplexer (47, 97) so that the gain applied to the output signal is not distorted by the resistance of the switches (49-53, 99-103) in the multiplexer. For three-phase systems not having a neutral conductor, phase to neutral voltages with ranging are generated by subtracting a neutral-to-ground voltage produced from an artificial ground (13) created by connecting three resistors (11A, 11B, 11C) in a wye across the phase conductors (5A, 5B, 5C) from the phase-to-ground voltages applied to the ranging circuit input.

Abstract: A resilient contact piece portion is provided within a connection portion of a female metal terminal, and is folded back at a position spaced forwardly from a front end of the connection portion, thus forming a folded portion of a generally inverted V-shaped cross-sectional shape. Relief recesses for respectively receiving the projected folded portions are formed in a front plate of cavities in a female housing. Thus, a contact portion is shifted forwardly within the connection portion while the cross-sectional shape remains unchanged as before. The contact portion of the resilient contact piece portion is shifted forwardly, and therefore even if the length of projecting of a tab portion is short, a positive electrical connection between the tab portion and the resilient contact piece portion is achieved.

Abstract: The provision of an electric rotating machine which can reduce the mechanical and thermal loads applied thereto. Coil arms (534, 537, 20b, 21b, 20d, 21d) and coil trunks (533, 536, 20e, 21e) are provided in roughly parallel orientation to the end faces of an armature core (520, 11) only through insulating rings or spacers (560, 590, 20a, 21a, 20c, 21c). Metal brush (910, 81) is disposed on coil arms, whereby the overall length of the armature can be remarkably shortened. In addition, a commutator, conventionally necessary, can be eliminated, whereby the length of the production process for the armature can be reduced. Moreover, in an arrangement where projections (534c) of the upper coil arm are fit in holes of the insulating spacer, as the displacement of the upper coil arm towards the outer periphery is regulated, the length of axial protrusions of the upper coil arm from the end face of the armature core can be minimized. In addition, as extension portions (538, 20g, 20h) and of the coil trunks are strongly pressed against and fixed to the side of armature core by fixing members (570, 30), the resistance to the centrifugal force can be remarkably improved. Furthermore, as the extension portion of the lower coil arm is fit in a recessed part of the insulating spacer, the displacement of the lower coil arm in the axial direction towards the outer periphery can be prevented.

Abstract: A method of extracting a texture region from an objective picture is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining a direction of a line image represented by pixels lying adjacent each of all pixels forming the objective picture by using a spatial filter to define the determined direction as a direction of each of all the pixels, determining the number of the pixels showing the same direction for each of the preselected directions, and extracting from the objective picture as the texture region an area where the number of the pixels showing the same direction for at least one of the preselected directions is greater than a given value and a dispersion value of the pixels showing the same direction is greater than a given dispersion value. 
     A second method is disclosed which detects the texture region based on the fact that pixels assuming a particular direction usually exist on a high-frequency portion such as the texture region or the contour of a non-texture region. 
     A third method is disclosed which detects as the texture region an area where end points of line images exist at a density greater than a given value.

Abstract: Three-dimensional compressed geometry is decompressed with a unit having an input FIFO receiving compressed data bits and outputting to an input block state machine and an input block, whose outputs are coupled to a barrel shifter unit. Input block output also is input to Huffman tables that output to the state machine. The state machine output also is coupled to a data path controller whose output is coupled to a tag decoder, and to a normal processor receiving output from the barrel shifter unit. The decompressor unit also includes a position/color processor that receives output from the barrel shifter unit. Outputs from the normal processor and position/color processor are multiplexed to a format converter. For instructions in the data stream that generate output to the format converter, the decompression unit generates a tag sent to the tag decoder in parallel with bits for normals that are sent to the format converter. The decompressed stream of triangle data may then be passed to a traditional rendering pipeline, where it can be processed in full floating point accuracy, and thereafter displayed or otherwise used.

Abstract: A pulse detection circuit (20) responds to an intermediate signal transition (at terminal 44) for entering a predetermined state and producing an output signal level (at output terminal 58) having a duration equal to or greater than a predetermined delay period. A signal transition detection circuit (32), responsive to the predetermined state (on lead 62) and an input signal transition (at input terminal 51) from a control circuit (22), latches the input signal transition by either a setting or a resetting of the signal transition detection circuit and thereby producing the intermediate signal transition. Thus the pulse detection circuit latches the transitions in very short width input signal pulses from the control circuit to control a slower operating controlled circuit. Extra transitions are stored until the controlled circuit is ready to respond to another transition.
