IPC: G09G3/296
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: The plasma addressed electro-optical display
includes a panel having a plasma cell and a liquid crystal
cell joined to each other with a dielectric sheet
interposed in between. While the plasma cell has display
channels arranged thereon in rows, the liquid crystal panel
has signal electrodes arranged thereon in columns, which
define pixels at the intersections with the display
channels to thereby form an image. A scanning circuit is
connected to the display channels and sequentially drives
the display channels to discharge over the image and select
pixels in each row through the dielectric sheet. A signal
circuit is connected to the signal electrodes and drives
the signal electrodes in synchronism with the driving for
discharge and in accordance with one image of picture data,
and, thereby, it writes signal voltages into the selected
pixels. A calculating circuit, in accordance with
externally input picture data, calculates effective
potential differences occurring between adjoining signal
electrodes in each row and accumulates the results over the
image. A compensating circuit, in accordance with the
results of accumulation, compensates for the signal
voltages to be applied to the respective signal electrodes
to thereby reduce the crosstalk caused by potential
differences between adjoining signal electrodes.

Abstract: In a grain harvester having apparatus for measuring
the moisture content of grain by directing a radio
frequency signal along a measurement signal path (18, 20,
24, 30, 28) through the grain and determining the moisture
content and bulk density from the phase shift () and
attenuation experienced by the measurement signal,
apparatus is provided for calibrating the moisture
measurement apparatus without interrupting the grain
harvesting operation. An attenuator (22), calibrated to a
traceable standard, is selectively inserted into the
measurement signal path (18, 20, 24, 30, 28) to produce an
expected attenuation of the measurement signal. The actual
attenuation resulting from the insertion of the attenuator
is compared with the expected attenuation and the
difference is used to derive a control voltage for
controlling the gain of the measurement signal path (18,
20, 24, 30, 28).

IPC: B62D23/00
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: A structure for a vehicle frame assembly (10) and method of
manufacturing same are disclosed. The vehicle frame assembly (10) includes
a plurality of structural members (20) having hollow ends which are
connected together at joints by a plurality of joint nodes (30). Each of the
joint nodes (30) includes a body (31) having two or more projections (32)
extending therefrom. To join a structural member (20) to a joint node (30),
the hollow end of the structural member (20) is initially disposed about the
projection (32) of the joint node (30). The cross sectional shape of the
projection (32) is preferably similar to, but somewhat larger than, the cross
sectional shape of the hollow end of the structural member (20). Thus, the
end portion of the structural member (20) is deformed somewhat when it is
moved over the projection (32) to establish a press fit relationship
therebetween. Following this initial installation, the structural member (20)
and the projection (32) are then permanently joined together by welding.
Because of the heat generated during the generation of the weld, a heat
affected zone is created in the structural member (20). The heat affected
zone immediately surrounds the weld and extends a relatively short distance
along the length of the structural member (20). The projection (32) of the
joint node (30) extends through and beyond the heat affected zone of the
structural member (20) so as to provide internal mechanical support to the
weakened region of the structural member (20). Thus, although the structural
member (20) itself is weakened in the heat affected zone by the formation of
the weld, the overall strength of the combined structural member and joint
node assembly is not reduced.

Abstract: A bar code error scanner (10) scans printed bar
codes (12) comprising bars (12a) and spaces (12b) of
varying widths which are multiples of a minimum width
module. The scanner obtains a bar code signature (20s)
indicative of a sequence of characters. If the printing
of the bar code is faulty adjoining bars and spaces will
include fractions of the minimum width module. An error
detector (22a) detects such fractional widths and an
error corrector (22c) adjusts the bar signature by
increasing the width of the adjoining bar and decreasing
the width of the adjoining space to correct for the
faulty printing. The corrected bar code signature (22a)
is then decoded in a decoder (22). An error log (22b)
may be provided in which multiple scans are stored to
accumulate the errors and ensure their verification. A
subsequent scan can then be compared with the log to
obtain a match.

Abstract: There is disclosed a structural alignment method
making use of the double dynamic programming algorithm.
Distance cut-off approximation is performed (step S1), and
AN cut-off approximation is then performed (step S2). An
alignment is produced based on the results of distance cut-off
approximation and AN cut-off approximation (step S3).
Subsequently, an ε-suboptimal region defined by the obtained
approximate solution is determined (step S4). Further, DDP
based on a full structural environment is performed for
residue pairs within the ε-suboptimal region (step S5). The
structural alignment method is simpler than conventional
methods, and can shorten computational time while
maintaining high accuracy.

Abstract: Between the base plate 11 and the instrument 1 are placed a bridge frame 12G with a supporting point P formed on its upper surface to support the instrument and a load-bearing section 12 made with elastically deformable spring material having arc-shaped legs 12A, 12B extending from the bridge frame 12G toward the direction opposite to the instrument 1, while keeping a certain separation in between. Thereby, a weight supporting part that contacts with the bottom end surface of the instrument 1 over a comparatively narrow area in a plane touch, or more preferably, in a point touch or in a line touch, and an absorbing part that absorbs vibrations transmitted from the instrument 1 are made to coexist. Making the legs 12A, 12B of the load-bearing section 12 operate as an absorbing part to absorb vibrations not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction enhances the function of the supporting element to modulate vibrations to an even greater extent. <IMAGE>
