IPC: B60C9/08
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: A pneumatic tire with an increased load carrying capacity (extended load
index) but compatible with conventional, commercially available wheel rims, has
a modified carcass ply line. 
     The pneumatic tire (746) has a tread area (712) and a carcass structure
(728) including two bead areas (750a,750b), at least one cord-reinforced
elastomeric ply (730) extending through sidewalls (726a,726) between the bead
areas (750a,750b) and the tread area (712), and a belt structure (718) between
the tread area (712) and the carcass structure (728). The tire (746) has bead
areas (750a,750b) containing triangular shaped beads so that the ply line (PL''')
causes the bead areas to better secure the tire to the rim during high stress
conditions.

Abstract: A flexographic colour assembly designed to be arranged at a print
drum, comprising a screen roller and a plate-carrying roller, supported
at its ends on skids that can be moved in parallel and independently
between three positions: one rest position distant from the printing
drum, one working or attachment position, where the screen roller is
positioned in contact with the plate-carrying roller, and the
plate-carrying roller is shifted into contact with the printing drum,
and a detached position in which the plate-carrying roller is shifted a
pre-established short distance from the contact with the printing drum,
and the screen roller is shifted a short pre-established distance from
contact with the plate-carrying roller, said plate-carrying roller
having side and longitudinal rollers to adjust its positioning with
respect to the printing drum. The colour assembly comprises a single
drive motor (17) for its movement between said rest position and working
position of said screen rollers (2) and plate-carrying rollers (3), and,
for driving said plate-carrying roller side and longitudinal registers,
motion transmission means between said motor (17) and said support
slides (5a,5b) and longitudinal support skids and said side and
longitudinal registers and a pair of actuators (50a,50b) to control a
respective attachment-detachment movement of the screen roller (2) and
plate-carrying roller (3) independently from the motor (17) and a
control unit (54).

IPC: H04N7/46
Filed: 1996-12-24
Abstract: In a video signal encoding method and apparatus, a video signal transmitting method, and the recording medium, hierarchical encoding of image data implies problems in that a compressing efficiency is reduced as the number of hierarchical levels is increased and that the image quality is degraded particularly in lower-level hierarchical images. After data D31, D33, D35 at respective hierarchical levels are generated by an average value calculation, pixel data which can be restored by arithmetic operations using pixel data at adjacent higher hierarchical levels and pixel data at their own hierarchical levels are thinned, and higher-level hierarchical data are compressively coded with larger numbers of quantization bits. Since the amount of pixel data to be transmitted can be reduced by the thinning, it is possible to suppress an increase in number of pixels to be transmitted, caused by the hierarchical structure. In addition, higher-level hierarchical data are assigned larger numbers of quantization bits, so that degradation in image quality due to quantization errors at the higher hierarchical levels can be reduced in lower-level hierarchical images.

Abstract: First and second members (10,20) are joined by
friction stir welding. A portion of at least the first
member (10), to which portion load is applied during the
friction stir welding, is supported during the welding on
a counter-support (200) provided at a rear side of the

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical attenuator (200) comprising an optical
attenuator module (210), an optical splitter (220), a detector (240) and a control unit
(250). Input radiation (P i ) is received at the attenuator module (210) which is operable
to attenuate the input radiation to generate corresponding attenuated radiation (P o ). The
detector (240) is operable to receive a portion of the attenuated radiation (0.1P o ) and
generate a corresponding electrical signal T 1 . The signal T 1  is applied by the control unit
(250) via a first feedback loop (262) to regulate the attenuator module (210) so that
radiation power of the attenuated radiation is maintained to a predetermined level. In a
situation where an interruption of the input radiation (P;) occurs, the control unit (250) is
operable to monitor temperature of the attenuator module (210) using a thermistor sensor
(280) and to regulate the temperature of the module (210) using a second feedback loop
(264) to a predetermined temperature during the interruption. On termination of the
interruption, control of the attenuator module (210) is transferred back to the first
feedback loop (262) to maintain the attenuated radiation to the predetermined level.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell and a high voltage MOS
transistor on the same semiconductor chip without changing the
characteristic of the non-volatile memory cell. A gate
insulating film of a MOS transistor is formed using the steps
of forming an oxide film 12 formed on a floating gate 14 of a
split-gate type non-volatile memory cell and of forming a
tunneling insulating film 16 formed on the floating gate 14 and
the oxide film 12. The gate insulating film 13 of the MOS
transistor is formed by a stacked layer of the oxide film 12
and tunneling insulating film 16. Thus, the quantity of heat
treatment in the entire production process undergoes no change,
and the optimized characteristic of the non-volatile memory
undergoes no change.

Abstract: In a structure of an ink tank having a deformable
sheet that constitutes the tank and a spring for imparting
a negative pressure, unstableness of the negative pressure
attributable to the deformation of the sheet as a result
of ink consumption is prevented. For this purpose, a
plate-like member (109) is joined to a top section of a
sheet (106) formed in a convex shape, and a spring member
(107) for generating the negative pressure in a tank is
mounted to the same member. This makes it possible to
maintain a high volume ratio of the ink tank and to achieve
stableness of the negative pressure by adequately
regulating the deformation of the sheet (106) when the
sheet is displaced in the direction of retracting toward
the interior of the tank as a result of a reduction of the
amount of ink in the tank.
