Title: Improved optical pointing device
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1989-05-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical pointing 
device which preferably uses infrared light as a source and a 
camera as a detector. Movements of the camera with respect to 
the light source which remains fixed are sensed in the detector 
portion of the camera to determine the direction in which the 
camera is pointing with respect to, for example, a display 
screen adjacent the light source. The electronics included in 
the present invention are designed to act, responsive to 
sensing of the position of the camera with respect to the light 
source to cause corresponding movements of a cursor on the 
display screen. Other modes of operation of the present 
invention are also disclosed.

Title: A method and an apparatus for joining together two elements included in an implant and/or prosthesis structure
IPC: A61C13/20
Filed: 1989-04-24
Abstract: In the joining of two elements (10, 11) of hard material which are included in an implant structure or prosthetic structure, the elements are disposed towards one another by means of a joint (34) formed by contact surfaces. The elements are adjusted to one another and mutually fixed and welded together by laser equipment (13). Registering circumferential portions of the joint are exposed to two focusing optical devices (14, 15) which emit laser pulses or laser beams for the welding and form part of the laser equipment. The devices are aligned each towards one of two substantially registering, or slightly mutually offset, starting areas. Each respective area includes a section of each respective joint circumferential portion with circumjacent parts on the elements. The laser equipment is energized to emit, via the devices (14, 15), simultaneous or alternating laser pulses or laser beams, and the elements and devices are mutually influenced in respect of their movements such that laser output emission may be effected towards the starting areas and subsequent areas with associated sections of joint circumferential portions and material parts.

controlled for displaying an image, as one integration time 
period, and turning on pixels only for a number of specified 
frame time periods corresponding to a brightness level to be 
displayed out of all frame time periods within the 
integration time period. In this driving method all pixels 
of the display device (2) are grouped into multiple groups 
each of which is composed of a plurality of pixels (A, B, C, 
D) contiguous to each other, the number of pixels to be 
turned on in each frame time period within one integration 
time period is selected corresponding to the specified 
gradation data within the same group, and the frame time 
period during which the number of pixels turned on is kept 
constant is set to a period so short that a human being does 
not feel flicker. In this way, viewing a plurality of 
pixels all over one group as a unit image area, a 
gradational display without noticeable flicker can be 
obtained.

IPC: F16H59/24
Filed: 1996-05-28
Abstract: The automotive drivetrain has an engine the output of which is drivingly coupled to the input of a multi-ratio transmission and provides an input speed to the transmission. The downshift releases a friction element associated with the higher ratio. An on-coming fluid pressure is increased to engage a second friction element associated with the lower ratio. The shift flare control involves releasing the first friction element to allow the engine to increase the input speed to a synchronous speed corresponding to the second friction element. The on-coming fluid pressure is increased at a predetermined rate to progressively engage the on-coming friction element. The acceleration of the engine is monitored to detect a negative acceleration indicative of a flare condition. When a flare condition is indicated, the predetermined rate of on-coming fluid pressure increase is incremented for use in subsequent downshifts.

photodiode carrier (4) for supporting a photodiode (3); the
photodiode carrier (4) is large with a trapezoidal shape. This
shape prevents the surface of the photodiode (3) from returning
to the laser diode reflected light emitted from the rear of
the laser diode (1). A spherical convexo-plane lens (20,27) is
