Patent EP-1442632-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOOIJER CHRISTOFHER D C
IPC: H05B41/00
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: A fluorescent lamp preheating circuit heats electrodes prior to lamp ignition while utilizing a sense resistor to detect and correct short-circuit conditions caused by improper wiring. The circuit uses few components, each of which is independent of parameters such as switching frequency, duty-cycle, and filament resistance, and is therefore compact, cost-effective, and efficient. The preheating circuit can be switched off when the electrodes are warmed sufficiently in order to conserve energy and prevent thermal overload, or when short-circuit conditions are encountered.

IPC: B66B21/12
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: In an escalator with a high speed inclined section, a plurality
of steps are coupled in an endless manner and are moved to circulate.
Driving roller shafts of the steps adjacent to each other are coupled
with each other by a link mechanism. An interval between the driving
roller shafts is changed as the link mechanism is transformed. An
outer peripheral length change absorbing mechanism is provided in
a reversing section of a circulation path of the steps. The outer
peripheral length change absorbing mechanism absorbs a change in
an outer peripheral length of a polygon formed by connecting axes
of the driving rollers with straight lines, while guiding the movement
of the driving rollers in the reversing section.

Abstract: An image processing system is disclosed for judging whether a pixelised image or a part
thereof is a monochrome or a colour image. To increase the reliability of the judgement,
instead of making the judgement on the level of an individual pixel, the judgement for
substantially all the pixels of the image or image part at the same time by analysing the
cumulative histogram wherein the distance of each pixel to the grey axis is plotted
versus the logarithm of the cumulative pixel count. An advantage of the present system
and the method of operating this system is its high sensitivity for detecting small colour
objects in monochrome images.

Inventor: FRANKLIN PHILIP CLIVE
IPC: F02D1/06
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: In a mechanical fuel pump control device for a diesel engine, air at intake manifold
pressure is fed to an actuator that is used to control the amount of fuel being injected
into the engine cylinders. The mechanism is designed such that an increase in air
pressure reduces fuelling and a decrease in air pressure increases fuelling. By this
means the engine's (rotational) speed is held substantially constant at a predetermined
value, the variation in (rotational) speed with increasing load (speed droop) being
controllable within the design by altering the effective rate of fuel increase for given
pressure decrease. This mechanism may be mechanically linked to the operator's main
control of engine output in a number of ways. The two most usual ways being: 1. fully
independently, so the governor will continue to operate to control engine fuelling if the
engine's (rotational) speed falls below the predetermined value (commonly known as idle
speed governing), or 2. so the operator adjusts elements within the mechanism such
that the governor continues to function to control the fuelling to try to achieve the (new
value of) intake manifold pressure (commonly known as all speed governing).
