Abstract: The present invention presents a flowmeter for determining the quantity of a flowing medium by the use of a diaphragm (4) and a resistance body (5) in a cavity (6), through which the medium to be measured flows. This flowmeter according to the invention has the special feature that a diaphragm sleeve (4) is displaced instead of the resistance body (5) as a result of the varying primary pressure and thus determines the degree of opening of the throughflow diaphragm according to the throughflow quantity of the flowing medium. A satisfactory linearisation of a part region of the function DELTA  rho (V) has been achieved by means of the flowmeter presented.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Vehicle engine torque, acceleration, deceleration and brake treadle pressure are determined (30, 32, 38). Vehicle load is calculated (34) from the engine torque and acceleration; and braking system effectiveness is calculated (42) by comparing the determined deceleration with a deceleration predicted for the calculated vehicle load and the determined brake treadle pressure. Values representative of braking system effectiveness are accumulated and evaluated to more accurately determine when braking system service is required than is possible by merely scheduling service according to the amount of elapsed time or the number of miles driven since prior service was performed.

Abstract: When a data is recorded to a recording medium, a miserasing preventing circuit determines whether or not a track lump is caused by a shock or a scratch. If it is caused by a shock, such as a quantity of light of an optical pick-up is controlled to change a reproducing state, and then the optical pick-up is moved to the rerecording position to start rerecording. As a result, recorded area is not disturbed, and the rerecording control is not performed by a little dust. Thereby, an apparatus can be provided with high recording efficiency.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that is capable of saving developing agents such as toner and ink by reducing the number of dots in an image while ensuring that the characters and figures in the image are nonetheless represented distinctly. Bit map data is read out from buffer 23 and a set of three-pixel bits are held in both a vertical and a horizontal direction, with the pixel of interest being located in the center. On the basis of this set of bits, upper/lower edge detector circuit 59 and right/left edge detector circuit 61 determine whether the pixel of interest is positioned in any one of the edges of the pattern in the image to be printed. Additionally, dot-saved pattern generator circuit 67 performs dot reduction on the bit for the pixel of interest. The edge detection signals from the edge detector circuits 59 and 61 are supplied to OR gate 65, where they are ORed with the bit for the pixel of interest that is supplied from the dot-saved pattern generator circuit 67 after dot reduction. The logic sum signal from OR gate 65 represents bit map data which, as compared with the initial bit map data, has the edges of the pattern left intact and has the internal region of the pattern subjected to dot reduction. Printing is executed using this logic sum signal.

Abstract: Der natürliche Tiefeneindruck beim Sehen wird durch stereoskope Perspektiven vermittelt, die sich mit der Position der Augen eines Betrachters ändern. In diesem Beitrag wird ein elektronisch gesteuerter adaptiver Bildschirm vorgestellt, der dieses Vermögen naturgetreu für einen Betrachter nachbildet, d.h dargestellte Gegenstände vor und hinter der Bildschirmebene, ohne Verwendung zusätzlicher Hilfsmittel wie Brillen, dreidimensional erscheinen läßt. Alternativ aber kann der gleiche Schirm als hochauflösender 2D-Schirm betrieben werden. Dieses kombinierte Leistungsmerkmal wird kostengünstig dadurch erzielt, daß vor einem Bildschirm eine Scheibe mit senkrechten Zylinderlinsen angebracht wird und daß im Brennpunkt der Linsen sich ein elektronisch steuerbares Schattenlinien-LCD befindet, das sequentiell mit 100 bzw. 120 Hz abwechselnd rechtes und linkes Bild passieren läßt. Entsprechend der Position eines Betrachters wird die Lage der Schattenlinien adaptiv verändert, während gleichzeitig die zugehörigen rechten und linken Augenperspektiven des 3D-Bildes in Echtzeit berechnet werden können. Die Kopf- und Augenposition des Betrachters wird mit einem an den Rändern des Schirmes angebrachten Sensorsystem genau erfaßt. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The text to speech (TTS) system comprises two main components, a linguistic processor 210 and an acoustic processor 220. The former is responsible for receiving an input text, and breaking it down into a sequence of phonemes. Each phoneme is assigned a duration and pitch. The acoustic processor is then responsible for reproducing the phonemes, and concatenating them into the desired acoustic output. The TTS system is driven from the output in that the linguistic processor does not operate until it receives a request from the acoustic processor for input. This request, and a return message that it can now be satisfied, are routed via a process dispatcher 230. By driving the system from the output, the system can be accurately halted in the event that the acoustic output needs to be interrupted.

Abstract: The presence of trace materials in a sample is detected using both macroscopic and microscopic properties. A detector includes a light source (25) and an optical resonator (24). The light source (25) may be located either inside the resonance cavity of the resonator (24) or outside the cavity, in which case it may be a semiconductor such as a semiconductor laser or a superluminescent diode. The detector (29) also includes at least one reflective member (24) that has a total internal reflection (TIR) surface (26) and may be a passive device or an active gain element. Light from the light source (25) is preferably focused onto a single point of reflection on the TIR surface (26). The test sample is positioned within the evanescent field region of the TIR surface (26). Optical changes arising within the evanescent field region, such as excitation of fluorescence in the sample, changes in its refractive index, and changes in the resonant frequency of the optical resonator (24), are then detected. These changes are then sensed to determine the amount or at least presence of analyte located at the TIR surface (26).

Abstract: A wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) unit (12) includes a plurality of Input/Output cards (IOCs 14). Each IOC is bidirectionally coupled to I/O specific media (fiber or copper) and to two coaxial cables. Also bidirectionally coupled to the coaxial cables are a plurality of Laser/Receiver Cards (LRC 20). The interface between the IOCs and the LRCs is an Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) electrical interface that is conveyed over the coaxial cables. Each LRC is bidirectionally coupled by two single mode fibers to an optical multiplexer and demultiplexer, embodied within a grating (24). An input/output port of the grating is coupled to a fiber link (28) that enables bidirectional, full duplex data communications with a second WDM. Each WDM also includes a Diagnostic Processor Card (DPC 28) that receives status signals from the IOCs and LRCs, that forwards the status signals on to an external processor, and which generates control information for the IOCs and LRCs. Each IOC is associated with one of a plurality of communications channels and includes an I/O specific media connector (30) that is coupled to an appropriate transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx). The I/O specific media connector, Tx and Rx are constructed and operated in accordance with the specific data stream type that is input to and output from the associated channel of the WDM. By example, a first data stream may be conveyed through an optical (fiber) conductor in accordance with an ESCON protocol at 200Mb/s, and a second data stream may be conveyed through an electrical (copper) conductor in accordance with an ECL non-specific protocol at up to 622 MB/s.
