Patent EP-0527392-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FARRELL JOEL ALAN
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1992-07-29
Abstract: A multitasking operating system permits application programs (and their developers) to influence a schedule of execution of program threads which constitute the application programs by specifying parameters for the program threads. The parameters indicate each thread's priority level and dispatch class in which the thread resides. The application programs specify the thread's parameters based on the following principles of the operating system. The operating system queues the highest priority thread available for execution from each dispatch class onto a run list for execution by a processor. The highest priority thread on the run list is executed first. While this thread is dispatchable and being executed, no other thread from the same dispatch class can preempt it unless this executing thread voluntarily relinquishes control of the processor, even if the other thread has a higher priority. (This other thread would have been created or made available after the currently executing thread was selected for the run list.) However, the currently executing thread can be involuntarily preempted at any time by another higher priority, available thread from a different dispatch class. A thread can also voluntarily relinquish control of its processor at other appropriate points in the execution, for example, when data structures are valid, to share the processor with other lower priority threads from the same or different dispatch classes.

Abstract: A radio watch mechanism (11) in particular for installation in a wristwatch housing, is to be designed in such a way that there is no need when configuring the housing to take account of the electrical and mechanical connection of a coil (27), arranged outside or on the housing, of a magnetic long wave antenna for receiving coded absolute time information. For this purpose, the mechanism (11) (if necessary up to the energy supply) is constructed as a self-sufficient functionally capable subassembly which can therefore be checked completely for proper functioning without aids before the housing is installed, and for which it is possible to have recourse to arbitrary watch housing configurations, to the extent that the choice of material for them does not produce excessively strong electrical screening. In this mechanism (11), the antenna ferrite core itself serves as a workplate (12) into which relatively thick functional components such as, in particular, the pointer mechanism (13) of an electromechanical analogue display are sunk, while relatively thin functional components such as, in particular, printed conductors (25), circuits (15) and optoelectronic display modules (31) can be mounted directly on the surface of this plate-shaped antenna core. Dimensionally correct recesses (19) such as are required, in particular, for supporting the display mechanism (19) are introduced into the ferrite body of the workplate (12) by precision grinding, or a recess (19) formed in a powder metallurgical ferrite injection-moulded body is fitted with a plastic precision-moulded part (19%).

Abstract: An encoding (or decoding) method, by which raw data of 1 line converted into, for example, modified Huffman (MH) code (or MH code is converted into raw data) by obtaining a cumulative run-length code every transition point, at which there occurs a transition or change between a run of white to another contiguous run of black pixels, from the beginning of the line and then converting the cumulative run-length code to the MH code (or converting the MH code to the cumulative run-length code). The cumulative run-length code is defined by both of data, which indicates that a pixel of a run just prior to the transition point is black or white, and data representing a cumulative run-length of the run up to the pixel thereof just prior to the transition point. Thus, an encoding or decoding processing can be performed at a high speed

Abstract: An apparatus and method for fluid level determination in automatic transmissions (16). The invention employs an electronic control unit (20) in association with an automatic transmission for a vehicle, the electronic control unit receiving data corresponding to transmission oil level, transmission oil temperature, engine speed, transmission speed, and transmission selected range. Upon determining that such data satisfies certain diagnostic tests, the level of transmission fluid within the transmission is determined and adjusted or otherwise normalised to ideal test conditions. The electronic control unit compensates an oil level signal for deviations in oil temperature from an optimum test temperature, and makes further compensation for deviations in engine speed and settling time at the time that the test data is acquired. Additionally, variations in oil density as a function of oil temperature are also compensated.

Abstract: An encoding unit encodes the received image data in frame units (step 2). A code buffer stores the amount of codes per 1 frame (step 3). A detection condition setting unit sets a detection condition (a standard value of a code amount difference) specified according to the detection designated data entered externally (step 1). A scene determining unit (step 4) calculates the difference between the amount of codes in the present frame entered from the code buffer and the amount of codes in the previous frame. If the difference is larger than the detection condition (the standard value of the code amount difference), the scene determining unit issues a COS code indicating a scene-changed frame and sets a selection signal in an active state. A switch adds the COS code to the encoded data in the present frame and externally outputs it (step 5) when the selection signal indicates an active state. 
     Embodiments described in the present application can provide image data encoding methods and devices, image data reconstructing methods and devices, scene change detecting methods and devices, scene change recording devices, and image data scene change recording/regenerating devices.

Abstract: A probe head (10) includes a support (12) by which the probe head is retained on the quill of a coordinate positioning machine, and a rotor (14) which is magnetically retained on the support (12). The rotor (14) is rotatable between a plurality of indexed angular positions provided by a ring of balls (26) and three adjacently positioned pairs of rollers (24). A drive dog shaft (20) is linearly movable to disengage the balls (26) from the rollers (24), and rotatable to rotate the rotor (14) to a new indexed position, whereupon the drive dog shaft (20) is retracted to re-engage a set of three balls (26) with the rollers (24). Exchange of a measuring probe (16) is performed by removing the entire rotor (14), and exchanging it for a further rotor carrying a different measuring probe. The engagement elements provided by rollers (24) and balls (26) thus serve the functions of (a) indexing and (b) repeatably retaining a rotor (14) on the support (12). This reduces the number of kinematic locations required between the movable arm of the machine and the probe (16) during the course of normal operation of a probe head to which a number of probes (16) are releasably couplable.

Abstract: A line generator (31) for receiving fields of pixel data sampled from a video input signal and for generating additional lines of pixel data so that the display frames will have more lines than the fields. The line generator (31) has a motion detector (31a) that determines, on a pixel by pixel basis, whether some part of the current field is in motion. A motion signal from the motion detector (31a) is used to select between outputs of two or more pixel generators (31b, 31c). One of the pixel generators (31b) provides pixel values that are better suited for display when the image is not in motion. The other pixel generator (31c) provides pixel values that are better suited for display when the image is in motion.
