Patent EP-1632883-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEWIS MERION FRANCIS
IPC: G06K9/74
Filed: 1998-09-24
Abstract: The use of binary phase information results in a degradation of performance due to the coarseness of the quantisation of the phase data. Furthermore, binary data results in two correlation peaks being formed in the output plane of the Fourier Transforming lens. 
Since it is often required to track a spot on a moving sought object present in the scene. It is convenient to make this spot the centre of the reference image (used to create the reference pattern) for each scale/orientation of the reference object sought. In this case when the spot on the reference object is in the centre of the input plane, the output correlation peak is at the centre of the output plane. Thus, in the tracking process the objective is to keep the correlation peak at the centre of the output plane when the desired region of the scene object is always centrally aligned with a tracking device (e.g. a camera or drill). In the case of the pattern recognition system of the present invention employing binary phase SLMs, this has the added advantage that in these circumstances the output peak has full intensity, the two symmetrical peaks discussed above merging into one strong central peak. This fact can be used as an aid to reference object identification and tracking and exploits the fact that the output peak is not split when the location of the scene reference object matches that of the reference perfectly. Of course, implicit in this statement is the fact that the reference object is identified in the processor.

Abstract: In a voltage supply control device, a voltage conversion circuit receives a voltage from a battery and generates a desired voltage. A switching control unit executes switching so as to supply a voltage to a power amplification circuit through the voltage conversion circuit when the voltage of the battery is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value or supply the voltage to the power amplification circuit from the battery without intervention of the voltage conversion circuit when the voltage of the battery is less than the predetermined threshold value. The switching control unit uses different voltage threshold values for a plurality of transmission modes classified in accordance with the assumed values of appropriate voltages to be supplied to the power amplification circuit. A cellular phone terminal and a voltage supply control method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A distributed matrix wiring assembly (10) uses a distributed matrix module (14)
to connect a routing relay module to a payload equipment device (20) over a set of
harness wires. The routing relay module is adapted to provide driving signals
to the harness wires at a first end. The distributed matrix module (14) is connected
to the harness wires at a second end as well as to the payload equipment
device (20). The distributed matrix includes distributed matrix column wires and
distributed matrix row wires which are configured to form a distributed matrix
having distributed matrix nodes, each distributed matrix node being defined by
the unique combination of a distributed matrix column wire and a distributed
matrix row wire. Since the distributed matrix nodes form at least a portion of
the overall matrix node requirement it is possible to reduce the number of
harness wires required.

Abstract: A renewal apparatus for a portable storage device, such as an IC card, holding biometric data of an individual, avoids divulging biometric data during renewal, while rigorously confirming the identity of the individual. A control unit (22) confirms the identify of the individual in biometric authentication by the biometric authentication functions of an old IC card (5). and confirmation of the identity of the individual is performed rigorously using the IC card with biometric authentication functions. If confirmation of the identity of the individual is satisfactory, the biometric data obtained in the biometric authentication is registered in a new IC card (5-1). The renewal can be performed with only a single image capture operation, and divulgence of biometric information is prevented.

Title: Etalonnage d'un convertisseur analogique-numerique par demodulation synchrone
Inventor: KUSHNER LAWRENCE J
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique qui permet d'étalonner de manière dynamique une charge par approximations successives pour un convertisseur numérique en faisant alterner au moins une partie du convertisseur entre deux états prédéterminés, pour, en fin de compte, équilibrer la tension et/ou la charge qui est/sont produite(s) dans les deux états. Les deux états sont choisis de telle sorte qu'ils génèrent la même tension de sortie lorsque le convertisseur est dans son mode de fonctionnement  'normal'', par exemple, dans une fraction de résolution du bit le moins significatif (LSB) du convertisseur. S'il existe un déséquilibre, la commutation entre les deux états d'étalonnage génère invariablement un signal d'ondes carrées qui alterne entre deux valeurs distinctes. Un démodulateur synchrone à largeur de bande centrée sur la fréquence d'alternance peut ensuite être utilisé pour détecter avec exactitude une quantité d'erreur qui est ensuite renvoyée pour générer des signaux de correction. S'il existe des décalages statiques indésirables introduits par le démodulateur synchrone ou par le signal et/ou le niveau de charge produit par les deux moitiés différentielles du convertisseur, un verrou temporisé de manière appropriée peut être utilisé pour stabiliser plus encore le signal d'erreur.

Abstract: A radiator module for commercial motor vehicles, in particular for agricultural tractors, has a support plate (7) fixed to the chassis and at least one coolant radiator (10) fixed to the support plate. The radiator has a radiator block (17) and two coolant tanks (19, 20) oriented at opposite ends of the block with one tank (20) adjacent the support plate (7) and one (19) spaced away form the support plate. 
     In order to increase the cooling performance of the radiator module (6) despite keeping the installation space above the support plate (7) constant it is proposed that the coolant tank near the plate (20) is constructed from two mutually complementing tank parts (26, 28). The first tank part (26) is assigned to the radiator block (17) and has an encircling flange (25) for pressure sealed attachment of the coolant radiator (10) on the support plate (7). A second tank part (28) is assigned to the support plate (7). 
     By dividing the coolant tank (20) into two parts, one on the radiator block (17) and one on the support plate (7) the effective heat sink area of the coolant radiator (10) can be substantially increased. On the one hand the enlargement is due to the fact that the flange (25) encircling the first tank part also serves to attach the coolant radiator on the support plate and in this region an assembly gap is therefore left between these components. On the other hand the enlargement is due to the fact that by moving part of the coolant tank under the surface of the support plate, the overall height of the coolant radiator is increased accordingly.
