Patent EP-1473775-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MINAMIO MASANORI
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A method for producing a solid-state imaging device including a base
of an insulation material having a frame form in planar shape with an
aperture formed in an inner region thereof and having a substantially
uniform thickness; a wiring provided on one surface of the base and
extending toward the outside from the peripheral portion of the aperture; and
an imaging element mounted on the surface of the base provided with the
wiring so that a light-receptive region of the element faces the aperture.
Cavities for resin-molding a plurality of the bases are formed and a tape
member supporting thin metal plate leads for forming a plurality of sets of
wirings corresponding to the respective bases is loaded between molds having
pins for forming positioning holes of the base; and the thin metal plate leads
are placed in the cavities. Then, a sealing resin is filled in the cavities and
cured. A resin molded member, in which the thin metal plate leads are
embedded, is taken out; and the tape member is removed from the resin
molded member, and the resin molded member is divided into a plurality of
pieces on which an imaging element is mounted. The base on which the
imaging element is mounted can be formed to have a practically sufficient
flatness.

IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: The application describes an electrical terminal comprising a pair of
longitudinally disposed contact members, each having a pair of IDC
connectors, one at either end thereof, thereby to link two wire pairs,
wherein each contact member comprises a contact arm each extending in a
defined direction, the contact arms leading to a pair of arrestor contacts
spaced so as to accept a surge arrestor. The defined direction is preferably
substantially transverse to the contact members. This enables the surge
arrestor to be placed to one side of the electrical terminal, avoiding
interference with ingoing and outgoing wires and avoiding inhibiting access
to test points. The contact members are preferably parallel within the
electrical terminal. The arrestor contacts are preferably spring contacts,
thereby to enable replacement of the arrestor. The contact arms more
preferably end at the spring contacts. In a particularly preferred
embodiment, the contact arms are non-contiguous with the contact
members but are joined thereto. This join can be by way of a lug extending
from the edge of one of the two members and engaging within a slot of the
other. This provides a particularly simple but effective electrical contact.
The lug is preferably on the contact members, thereby placing the slot on
the contact arms. This also avoids the need to bend a single-piece blank,
thereby risking damage to or distribution of the IDC connector. The
terminal will ideally be enclosed within a plastics housing, and this will
preferably comprise a recess for receiving the surge arrestor, the arrestor
contacts extending into the recess. The above electrical terminals can be
arranged in a linear array, in which case there is preferably an earth strip
associated with the linear array from which extend a plurality of earth
contacts into the recesses of the plastics housings.

Abstract: The present invention provides a projection device (10) which
comprises:
   at least two high resolution input channels (12, 14) for receiving a first and a
second high resolution input signal (20, 22) having information data for a first
and a second display format, respectively,   an image recombination system (24) for combining the high resolution input
signals (20, 22) into one high resolution imaging signal having information data
for a third display format larger than either of the first or second display
formats,   a high resolution image forming display device (18) for displaying an image
corresponding to the high resolution imaging signal, and   a projection lens (26) for projecting the imaged high resolution imaging signal
onto a visualisation surface (16).    
     The present invention also provides a corresponding method. 
     Due to the use of one large image forming display for displaying the two
images, no geometrical alignment problem occurs. Because one single light
beam is used for illuminating the one large image forming device, no colour
non-uniformity problem occurs between the two images.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of controlling a communications link and apparatus configured to perform this method. This invention is particularly related to but in no way limited to MIMO (multiple inputs multiple outputs) wireless communications systems. The method comprises the steps of determining at the receiver the quality of the communications link and based on this, selecting a group of transmission parameters and an element from this group. These selections are then communicated to the transmitter. The transmission parameter may be the transmission configuration such as the modulation and coding scheme. The invention minimises the required feedback signalling from the receiver to the transmitter by exploiting temporal correlation of the parameter being controlled, whilst allowing rapid selection of the parameter.

Abstract: A suspension system for a tracked vehicle, preferably having rubber tracks. The track assembly is mounted on a pivot shaft such that it can oscillate about the axis of the pivot shaft. The suspension system allows the track assembly to move vertically relative to the vehicle chassis to compensate for uneven terrain. For instance the track assembly can compensate for depressions or bumps in the terrain and preclude the chassis of the vehicle from tilting with each minor change in the terrain. In addition, the track assembly movement in the vertical direction provides a much smoother ride than do traditional tracked vehicles. The suspension system of the present invention is provided for use with a pair of track assemblies.

IPC: G01J5/00
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: A system and method for focusing infrared detectors operable at cryogenic temperatures.  The invention includes a sensor (10) for detecting electromagnetic energy comprising a first detector (14) operable over a first temperature range and a predetermined number of auxiliary detectors (12) operable over a second temperature range, wherein the auxiliary detectors (12) are adjacent to and in the same optical plane as the first detector (14). In the illustrative embodiment, the energy is infrared or visible light, the first temperature range is a range of cryogenic temperatures, and the second temperature range is a range of ambient temperatures. The first detector (14) is a focal plane array and the auxiliary detectors (12) are uncooled detector arrays. In the preferred embodiment, the focal plane array (14) and the uncooled detectors (12) are disposed on a common substrate. In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, the novel sensor (10) can be used to focus an optical system at cryogenic temperatures. The inventive method includes illuminating energy onto the sensor (10) through the optical system at ambient temperatures and then adjusting the position of the sensor (10) until maximum illumination is received by the auxiliary detectors (12). This determines the location of the focal plane of the system at ambient temperatures. The location of the focal plane at cryogenic temperatures can then be calculated using the location of the focal plane at ambient and a model of the thermal characteristics of the system.
