Title: Anordnung zur Bestimmung des Einfallswinkels von Licht
Inventor: SCHROETER KARIN
IPC: G01S3/784
Filed: 2001-08-18
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Bestimmung des Einfallswinkels von Licht,
insbesondere von Sonnenlicht mittels eines Spalt- und Sensorarrays. Weiterhin soll
eine geringe Anfälligkeit gegenüber Störlichtquellen und anderen Fehlersignalen
erreicht werden. 
     Die Aufgabe, eine neue Möglichkeit zur Bestimmung des Einfallswinkels von Licht,
die mit geringem Aufwand an Auswerteelektronik eine hohe Messgenauigkeit
gewährleistet, zu finden, wird mit einem langgestreckten Sensorarray und einem
Spalt zur Beleuchtung des Photodiodenarrays mit einem Lichtstreifen, wobei der Spalt
orthogonal zu einer vorgegebenen Längsrichtung des Sensorarrays in einem
definierten Abstand, der vor allem den maximal erfassbaren Einfallswinkel des Lichts
vorgibt, über den lichtempfindlichen Flächen des Sensorarrays angeordnet ist,
erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Sensorarray eine reihenförmige
Anordnung mehrerer kongruenter Photodiodenflächen mit im wesentlichen gleicher
Länge und Breite ist, wobei die Photodiodenflächen jeweils eine solche Größe
aufweisen, dass bei Beleuchtung mit dem Lichtstreifen in einer Photodiodenfläche ein
maximaler Photostrom, der einen Mindestbetrag zur Unterteilung in digitale
Auflösungsstufen gewünschter Größe und Anzahl aufweist, ausgelöst wird, und dass
die Photodiodenflächen so aneinandergereiht sind und an deren Längsausdehnung
die Breite des durch die Spaltbreite vorgegebenen Lichtstreifens so angepasst ist, dass
trotz lichtunempfindlicher Stege, die zur elektrischen Isolation benachbarter
Photodiodenflächen notwendig sind, sich Anteile der lichtempfindlichen
Photodiodenflächen in Längsrichtung des Photodiodenarrays überlappen, wobei von
dem abgebildeten Lichtstreifen zu jedem Zeitpunkt mindestens zwei
Photodiodenflächen gleichzeitig einen signifikanten Photostrom liefern.

Abstract: A DVD-R (1) has a main information area (2) where data
information is recorded in a track having a wobble, and
first and second control data areas (3,15) each of which is
disposed in an inner space closer to the disk center than
the main information area (2). The information structure
and physical structure of the first control area (3) are
different from those of the second control area (15), wherein the
second control area is provided with a wobble while not the first
control area.
In the second control area (15), predetermined physical format
information and disk production information, for example,
the last address of when data is written in the DVD-R (1),
the maximum transfer rate or the like, are recorded. Thus,
when the DVD-R (1) is reproduced by a DVD player etc., the
physical format information and disk production information
etc. recorded in the second control data area (15) are
read. Thereby, the disk can be precisely identified without
spoiling the physical format information, the disk
production information or the like, and further illegal use
of the DVD or another optical disk leading up to breach of
the copyright can be effectively prevented.

Abstract: A multi-node parallel processing system includes modules to perform version
switching of software. In one arrangement, the operating system running in each node
of the parallel processing is a WINDOWS® operating system. While one software
version is running in the system, another version may be installed and stored in a
different versioned directory. The installed software version may be marked as the
desired version. If a version switch is to be performed, version switch software
instances may be launched in each of the nodes. The version switch software instances
then determine which of the nodes in the parallel processing system are available to
perform the version switch. One of the version switch software instances is marked as
the master instance. The master instance accesses the nodes (identified as available to
perform the version switch) in the system to determine if a version switch is to be
performed. If so, the current running software version is stopped and unloaded and the
new version loaded.

Abstract: A rigid die insert for forming and shaping a working material comprises a
nickel-base superalloy, preferably Rene 95. A plurality of gamma prime
particles are uniformly distributed throughout the rigid die insert, which has a
Rockwell hardness Rc of between about 48 and about 52. The invention also

superalloy to reduce crack propagation and raise yield stress. The method
comprises the steps of: providing the rigid die insert; dissolving larger gamma-prime
particles in the rigid die insert; and growing additional gamma-prime
particles of smaller particle size in the rigid die insert, whereby the particle
size of each of the plurality of gamma-prime particles is refined, thereby
reducing crack propagation and raising the yield stress of the rigid die insert.
A method of refining the particle size of gamma-prime particles in a Rene 95
superalloy is also disclosed.

Abstract: To provide a cold cathode tube lighting circuit which
quickly and smoothly carries out lighting of a cold-cathode
tube and prevents damage of a piezoelectric transformer as
an inverter transformer in the lighting circuit, the
lighting circuit is provided with a protection circuit for
detecting a primary current of the piezoelectric
transformer. When the cold-cathode tube
is used as a backlight for a liquid crystal display driven
by the use of a scanning frequency, a dimmer circuit is
used for producing a dimmer signal with a dimmer frequency
and a controlled duty ratio given by a manual selector for
controlling start and stop of the oscillator according to a
desired brightness of the backlight. The dimmer frequency
is obtained from frequency division of the scanning
frequency. The controlled duty ratio is also modified
corresponding to the divided frequency.
