IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2002-02-26
Abstract: Bei einer Einrichtung zur Rauschreduktion in Bildsignalen, wobei die Bildsignale ein zeitliches Rekursivfilter durchlaufen, dessen Rückkopplungsfaktor von Bewegung in den von den Bildsignalen dargestellten Bildern abhängt, werden zur Bildung des Rückkopplungsfaktors für das jeweils aktuelle Bild ein erster und ein zweiter Faktor derart kombiniert, dass der kleinere der Faktoren den Rückkopplungsfaktor im wesentlichen bestimmt. Der erste Faktor wird aus dem Rückkopplungsfaktor des vorherigen Bildes gebildet und der zweite Faktor wird aus der Differenz zwischen dem vorherigen Bild und dem aktuellen Bild berechnet. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-1308977-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AKIBA AKIRA
IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: A fixed voltage (30) and a movable electrode (38) are placed face to face with
each other, and an insulating film (31) is formed on the surface of the fixed electrode
(30). The insulating film (31) is made of a nitride film (SiN) (47) as a main material,
with oxide films (SiO 2 ) (39, 48) being formed on the front and rear surfaces of the nitride
film (37). Moreover, a plurality of protrusions (32) are formed on an area facing the
movable electrode (38) of the upper face of the insulating film (31). The charge quantity
in the insulating film (31) is mainly determined by a film thickness of the oxide film (48),
and the nitride film (47) is used for maintaining a sufficient film thickness required for
the voltage proof characteristic. Thereby, it is possible to suppress variations in
operational voltage characteristics such as on-voltage and off-voltage in an electrostatic
actuator so as to prevent phenomena in which the electrostatic actuator fails to turn on
even when a rated voltage is applied to the electrostatic actuator and in which the
electrostatic actuator fails to turn off even when the driving voltage is turned off.

Abstract: A weight measurement system is disclosed for measuring the
weight of an occupant in a vehicle seat. In a preferred
embodiment, a sensor is positioned at the rear portion of the
vehicle seat and a load transfer link is used to transfer the

Abstract: A heterodyne optical network analyzer (100) and method for device characterization reduces
the effect of relative intensity noise (RIN) in interferometric optical measurements by
subtracting the measured intensities of first (I 1 ) and second (I 2 ) interference signals derived from an
optical interferometer. The first and second interference signals are produced by combining a
first lightwave transmitted to an optical device (102) being characterized with a second lightwave,
which is a delayed version of the first lightwave. The first and second lightwaves are derived
by splitting an input lightwave having a continuously swept optical frequency generated by a
light source, such as a continuously tunable laser (108).

Abstract: An imaging system[50] and method for using the same is disclosed. The imaging
system[50] includes an x-ray detection array[51] or plurality of detection arrays, a point x-ray
source, and a controller[54]. The point x-ray source moves relative to a detection array[51],
each of the x-ray detectors subtending a solid angle at the point source that depends on the
relative position of the point source and the detection array[51] and on the location of the
detector in the detection array[51]. The signal generated by each x-ray detector depends on a
calibration parameter that is independent of the solid angle subtended by that x-ray detector at
the point source. The controller[54] stores a table[56] of calibration values that determines
the calibration parameter for each of the x-ray detectors. The controller[54] corrects the
signals generated by the x-ray detectors for solid angle and for variations in the calibration
parameter.
