Abstract: A brake control system and method that includes high-pressure fluid supply
sources (36, 38) and cutoff devices (24F, 24R) for cutting off communication
between a master cylinder (14) and wheel cylinders (22FR, 22FL, 22RR,

the vehicle is calculated based on the detection values that are consistent with each
other and braking force of each wheel is controlled based on the final target
deceleration.

Title: Semiconductor device for detecting organic molecules and method for measuring organic molecules using the same
Inventor: YAGI TAKESHI
IPC: H01L27/14
Filed: 2001-12-27
Abstract: A semiconductor device for detecting organic molecules is provided and affords higher sensitivity and better durability with respect to synthetic treatment of organic molecule probes. In one implementation, an organic molecule detecting semiconductor device 100 has pixels (including photoelectric converters) 110 disposed on a front (first main side) 101A of a silicon substrate 101, and recesses 112 in which DNA probes 161 are fixed are formed on a rear (second main side) 101B. Hence the bottoms of the recesses 112 serve as organic molecule probe disposition regions. The organic molecule detecting semiconductor device 100 constitutes a back-incident frame transfer (FT) type of CCD solid-state imaging device. In the analysis of DNA or other organic molecules, there is no need for the separate provision of an optical system for reading the light produced from a target (e.g., DNA of a specified structure). The overall apparatus is more compact and the manufacturing costs are reduced. Also, the pixels 110 formed by semiconductor manufacturing technology and the DNA probes 161 formed by organic chemical treatment are formed on mutually different sides.

Abstract: A traffic signal head uses a plurality of LED light sources mounted in one or more
containment volumes in a housing. One version uses identical three-color LED
light sources distributed through the containment volume: each source having a
red light generating element, a yellow light generating element, and a green light
generating element. A second version uses identical two-color LED light sources
distributed through the containment volume, each source having a red LED light
generating element and a green LED light generating element. For the second
version, activation circuitry enables individual activation of the red LED elements
to produce red signals, individual activation of the green LED elements to
produce green signals, and concurrent activation of both types of LED elements
to produce yellow signals. Both versions can be electrically configured to display
any of the three colors, as well as special symbols-such as directional arrows.

IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: Based on data arrays of a pair of binary data outputted from a
"Viterbi" decoder, SAM (Sequenced Amplitude Margin) values are
secured by selecting any of path-metric differential values (00) and (11)
being the difference between a pair of values compared when renewing
path-metric values PMM (00) and (11) outputted from a "Viterbi"
decoder. The minimum SAM value for an ideally-reproduced signal is
outputted from a constant generating circuit (311). If the SAM values are
verified as valid, and if the SAM values coincide with the equation "input
SAM values" ≤ "data value outputted from the constant generating
circuit", then squared values outputted from a square circuit (312) are
averaged by an averaging circuit (315). Finally, the average value is outputted
as the reproduced signal evaluation. This allows precise and adequate
evaluation of actual quality of reproduced data whenever applying a
maximum likelihood decoder for converting signal reproduced from a
recording medium into binary signal.

Abstract: A robot for handling products in a three-dimensional space is
described. The robot comprises a base (1) on which three arms
(9) are pivotably supported to pivote around three pivote axes
(3) arranged in a common axes plane (4). The three axes form a

the arms (9) to a carrier (22) which is movable in space in all
three linear dimensions and prevented from rotation around all
three rotative dimensions. A telescopic fourth linkage (43) connects
a gripper (30) rotatably supported on the carrier (22) by
two joints (42, 46) with a fourth serve motor (48) fixed to the
base (1). In the axes plane (4) the base has an opening (52)
