Abstract: The system uses a number of cameras directed towards target objects, the image data from the cameras being transmitted to a management center. The center receives the image data and information regarding the camera position. The management center includes a database (20,21,22) enabling determination of an index to measure how closely a specific view matches requested criteria. The system for gathering photographic images uses a number of cameras directed towards target objects, the image data from the cameras being transmitted to a management center. The center receives the image data and information regarding the position of the camera within the environment defined by sensors which determine the direction and angle of view. The management center includes a database (20,21,22) enabling identification of the position of the camera within the environment, and the determination of an index to measure how closely a specific view matches requested criteria. A view is then selected according to which of the available images matches most closely the requested criteria.

Abstract: A liquid jetting apparatus of the invention includes a pressure chamber having an inside space whose volume is changeable, into which a liquid is supplied and which is communicated with a nozzle. A Helmholtz resonance frequency of the pressure chamber has a period of TH. A signal-generating unit generates a driving signal, which includes a first signal-element (Tc1) for causing the pressure chamber to expand, a second signal-element (Tcl) for causing the pressure chamber to contract from an expanded state thereof in order to jet a drop of the liquid through the nozzle, and and a third signal-element (Tc2) for causing the pressure chamber to expand to an original state before outputting the first signal-element after the drop of the liquid is jetted. A pressure-generating unit causes the pressure chamber to expand and contract, based on the driving signal. An interval between a starting time of outputting the first signal-element and a starting time of outputting the second signal-element (T1) and an interval between a starting time of outputting the second signal-element and a starting time of outputting the third signal-element (T2) are set substantially equal to the period TH of the Helmholtz resonance frequency. A sum of an amplitude of the first signal-element (V3) and an amplitude of the third signal-element (V2) is set substantially equal to an amplitude of the second signal-element (V1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dual sided slot valve is in a vacuum body between adjacent process and transport modules. Separate valves are provided for each of two valve body slots, one body slot being separately closed or opened independently of the other. The separate valves allow a vacuum in the transport module while an adjacent process module is open to the atmosphere for servicing. The valve allows access to an open valve for servicing the open valve in that one actuator motor stops the valve in an open, but not vertically-spaced, position relative to the respective slot. The open valve is more easily reached by a gloved hand of a service worker. A separate actuator motor moves the valve vertically down from the open position and away from the slot to expose the sealing surface around the slot for cleaning. The vertical distance of the vertically-moved valve from an access opening makes it difficult for the worker's glove to reach the valve for service. However, in the vertically-moved position the valve does not interfere with the ability to clean around the valve door. The dual sided slot valves are offset relative to each other to reduce the distance occupied by the valve body between the adjacent transport and process modules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel book cover which is used together with the known firm bindings, that is U-shaped steel bars. According to the invention, a flexible support material is arranged in two layers and in parallel to the flanks of a U-shaped bar. The layers of the book cover that are in parallel to the flanks are intimately glued together except for a flexible connection of two layers, that is either the support material is flexibly arranged in relation to its two layers or-as shown in FIG. 1-the inner surface of the flank is flexibly arranged in relation to the layer. The resin layer usually fixes the leaves, the resin layer being applied on the transversal insert of the support material. The transversal insert rests against the base of the U-shaped bar, that is it is not firmly linked with it, when the book is closed. When the book is opened, the bound leaves are vertically moved, thereby allowing the leaves to be turned so that they lie flat.

Abstract: After a mobile user connection is assigned a particular type of channel, a sliding window with a predetermined number of time intervals is established for that connection. For each of the time intervals in that sliding window, information associated with the type of channel supporting the mobile radio connection is determined. The associated information may include one or more parameters including the type of channel currently supporting the connection, an amount of data to be transmitted for the mobile user connection, a requested quality of service, etc. The information in the sliding window is analyzed for a pattern or trend. Different patterns or trends may be used to assist in making channel-type switching as well as other decisions, e.g., power regulation. The analyzed sliding window information may be used both to determine when it is desirable to switch a user connection to another channel type and to prevent or reduce inefficient, excessive, or rapid switching of the user connection between different channel types.
