Patent EP-1483560-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TARGOSINSKI TOMASZ
IPC: G01M11/06
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: A method according to the invention depends on, that a light beam coming out from tested headlight is projected, by an optical system, on a screen, and the luminance distribution of an image obtained on the screen is converted into electrical signals of the qualities of a vision signal, which are then transformed into two-dimensional distribution of illumination or into two-dimensional distribution of luminous intensity. From such obtained distributions there is determined, by mathematical manner, a linear shape of the cut-off line or a real location of the hot spot, and finally the obtained results are compared with shape and location of accepted standards. A system to realisation of said method consists of a headlight to be tested as a source of light (S), an optical system (UO) with a screen (E), an analysing vision converter (WPA), an electronic system (UE), a compensating system (UMO) and computer peripheral output devices (UPW). The said elements are functionally and physically interconnected so that the light beam of the headlight to be tested (S) is projected, by an optical system (UO), on the screen (E), from which it is directed to the input of the analysing vision converter (WPA). Its output is connected to the input of an electronic system (UE), which output is connected to the inputs of the known computer peripheral output devices (UPW), preferably to the computer monitor (M). Simultaneously from a compensating system (UMO), an additional focused light beam, preferably laser light, is projected on a screen (E), which after crossing through an analysing vision converter (WPA) comes into an electronic system (UE), wherein it is being converted altogether with an image of the light beam of tested headlight (S).

Abstract: In producing a biochemical analysis unit (1), an adhesive agent
(25) is applied to a base. After calcinations, the adhesive
agent (25) forms an adhesive layer (25a, 25b) on a wall of each
holes (3) formed in the base (2). Thereafter, an excess adhesive
agent (25c) remaining on the surface of the base (2) is removed.
Then, a sheet of an absorptive material (4) is set to overlap
the base (2). A press roller pair (27, 28) presses them to charge
the absorptive material (4) in the holes (3). Thus the
absorptive material (4) is fixed in the hole (3) of the base
(2) through the adhesive layer (25a, 25b).

Abstract: Voice synthesis unit data stored in a phoneme database 10 is
selected by a voice synthesis unit selector 12 in accordance with MIDI
information stored in a performance data storage unit 11.
Characteristic parameters are derived from the selected voice synthesis
unit data. A characteristic parameter correction unit 21 corrects the
characteristic parameters based on pitch information, etc. A spectrum
envelope generating unit 23 generates a spectrum envelope in
accordance with the corrected characteristic parameter. A timbre
transformation unit 25 changes timbre by correcting the characteristic
parameters in accordance with timbre transformation parameters in a
time axis. Timbres in the same song position can be transformed into
different arbitrary timbres respectively; therefore, the synthesized
singing voice will be rich in variety and reality.

multitube is coupled to a body shell (1) via tube plates at both ends, thereby
isolating a tube interior (4) of each of the multitube from a tube exterior (5) thereof
in an interior of the body shell (1), a difference is made in operating pressure
between the tube interior (4) and the tube exterior (5), so as to differentiate in
operating temperature therebetween, and heat is transferred from a higher pressure
side to a lower pressure side while using a wall of each of the multitube as a heat
transfer surface, thereby performing functions of the higher pressure side as an

the heat integrated distillation column, vapor after compressing vapor from the
column top of the stripping section (5) and vapor evaporated from a part of a
solution are supplied to the column bottom of the enriching section (4), resulting in
