Patent EP-1620703-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RODRIGUES ALLAN BLASE JOSEPH
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and device that use spectral measurements of the color of a target coating on a substrate, such as auto body being matched. The method utilizes pigment mixture models to produce a matched coating composition that when applied as a coating matches in appearance with that of the target coating, while also providing other desired coating properties, such as durability, gloss and adhesion. Various colorant combinations are analyzed to produce approximate spectral curves that substantially match the spectral curve of the target color. A colorant optimization function is then used to identify the optimum formula. This function utilizes acceptability factors, such as closeness of match based on a color tolerance formula, metamerism indices, shape of spectral curves, cost, and pigment durability. Each factor is weighted according to the specific end-use of the composition. The method of the present invention is well suited for producing automotive refinish paints used in automotive refinish applications wherein the undamaged portion of the autobody is color matched to produce a matched refinish paint that can be then applied over a repaired portion of autobody.

IPC: H03G3/30

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic gain control of a receiver provides compensation of gain control operations for received signal disruptions. In one embodiment, an automatic gain control circuit remembers control state information from a time just before a given disruption, and uses it to reset the automatic gain control circuit at the end of the disruption, or to maintain the automatic gain control circuit during the disruption. The remembering function may be triggered, such by detecting an impending disruption, or done periodically at a high enough update rate that the remembered information is always current with respect to any given disruption. Thus, an exemplary automatic gain control circuit may generate a receiver gain control signal by filtering received signal power measurements, and compensate the generation of that gain control signal by capturing filter state information just prior to signal disruptions. Compensation may comprise resetting or freezing the filter.

Filed: 1995-11-01
Abstract: A scroll-type machine is disclosed which is particularly well suited for use as a compressor in refrigeration and air conditioning systems and incorporates a unique arrangement for modulating the capacity thereof. The capacity of the scroll-type machine is modulated by reducing the orbital radius of one of the scroll members to thereby form a leakage path across the flank surfaces of the wraps. Both types of scroll separation may be accomplished in a time pulsed manner to thereby enable a full range of modulation with the duration of the loading and unloading periods being selected to maximize the efficiency of the overall system. A motor control arrangement is also disclosed which may be used with either of the modulation methods mentioned above to increase the efficiency of the motor during periods of reduced load. Additionally, either of the modulation arrangements mentioned above may be combined with a delayed suction form of capacity modulation with or without the motor control feature to thereby achieve better operating efficiency under certain conditions.

Abstract: Text is converted to speech based at least in part on the context of the text. A body of text may be parsed before being converted to speech. Each portion may be analyzed to determine whether it has one or more particular attributes, which may be indicative of context. The conversion of each text portion to speech may be controlled based on these attributes, for example, by setting one or more conversion parameter values for the text portion. The text portions and the associated conversion parameter values may be sent to a text-to-speech engine to perform the conversion to speech, and the generated speech may be stored as an audio file. Audio markers may be placed at one or more locations within the audio file, and these markers may be used to listen to, navigate and/or edit the audio file, for example, using a portable audio device.
