Patent EP-0790726-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MITRA DEBASIS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: A method shares resources associated with various classes among calls in the various classes according to a state dependent reservation parameter. Nominal amounts of one or more resources are allocated to each call class. When a call of a class of service operating in a network requires resources in excess of those allocated to the class, resources allocated to other classes of service are advantageously shared with the class of service. The sharing is based on a reservation parameter associated with the class of service of the call. The reservation parameter is advantageously a function of the network state. The role of the reservation parameter is to protect underloaded classes  (i.e.,  those classes not using all of their allocated nominal capacity) from excessive borrowing by overloaded classes  (i.e.,  classes using more than their allocated nominal capacity). More generally, the inventive method is used to determine if sufficient resources are available for routing calls and to route calls based on the determined available resources.

Abstract: A small-sized and light-weight projector apparatus is capable of
projecting images of high picture quality. A color
separation/synthesis section of a projector apparatus comprises: a
glass block body composed of a plurality of glass blocks combined
together in such a manner that the corresponding sides are in close
contact with each other; and a plurality of dielectric multilayer
films for separating corresponding component rays of white light
included in incident light and for synthesizing emitted rays from a
plurality of corresponding spatial modulators. Shapes of individual
glass blocks are respectively chosen in so that unnecessary rays
generated by the reflection or transmission of reflected rays from
respective spatial modulators at the corresponding dielectric
multilayer films to be transmitted through or reflected from do not
travel toward the reflective surface of any of spatial modulators
and moreover after the reflection or transmission at the
corresponding dielectric multilayer film, the unnecessary rays first
enter the surface of the glass block with an incidence less than
30°.

Abstract: A surface plasmon sensor comprises a sensor unit,
which is provided with a transparent substrate and a metal
film, and a coupler, which carries out light beam coupling
and is separate from the sensor unit. A light beam is
entered from a light beam entry portion of the coupler, and
an attenuated total reflection angle  sp  is detected from
the light beam, which has been totally reflected from an
interface between the transparent substrate and the metal
film and has then been radiated out of a light beam radiating
portion of the coupler. The sensor unit is supported by
a sensor unit attachment such that a distance between the
transparent substrate and the coupler may be kept to be
equal to a predetermined value. The space between the
transparent substrate and the coupler is filled with a
refractive index matching liquid. Fitting of the sensor
unit in the surface plasmon sensor is easy to carry out,
and the relationship between positions of the sensor unit
and the coupler can be kept constant.

Abstract: A device for controlling tilt of a forklift mast
(9). A fork (32) for carrying an object is supported by the
mast (9) so that the fork (32) is lifted or lowered. A tilt
cylinder (5) operates to tilt the mast (9) hydraulically. A
hydraulic valve (6) supplies oil to the tilt cylinder (5) in
correspondence with the position of a tilt lever (6a). The
tilt cylinder (5) tilts the mast (9) at a speed
corresponding to the flow rate of the oil supplied by the
valve (6). A restricting valve (11) is provided for
restricting the maximum flow rate of the oil. When the fork
(32) is located below a predetermined reference position,
the controller (18) fully opens the restricting valve (11).
However, when the fork (32) is located at the reference
position or higher, the controller (18) restricts the
opening of the restricting valve (11), thus restricting the
maximum tilt speed of the mast (9). This stabilizes the
forklift.

Abstract: A throttle controller having a throttle control section is provided so as to
eliminate any inconsistency in the degree of opening of the throttle at the time of mode
switching, and to obtain a superior driving efficiency. In the driving mode, the throttle
control section (1) calculates the degree of opening of the throttle for generating a
target driving force calculated based on a plurality of parameters including the degree
of depression of the accelerator, and performs a driving-force control. In the manual
mode, the throttle control section performs a control for driving the engine using a
degree of opening of the throttle which one-to-one-corresponds to the degree of
depression of the accelerator. When the mode is switched between the driving and
manual modes, the throttle control section performs switching between the two control
modes if the degree of depression of the accelerator is minimum or maximum.

Abstract: The invention relates to a development material by means
of which a latent, coloured image obtained by laminating another,
photopolymerizable material colored in a primary colour onto an
image-receiving material, peeling-off the film support and exposing
the material under the associated negative colour separation film
(alternatively, in another embodiment, the film support can be
removed only after the exposure), can be developed by laminating
this development material onto the latent image and then peeling-off
the development material together with the non-image areas, and to a
process for the production of a colour proof using this development
material in combination with photopolymerizable materials in the
various primary colours. 
     The photopolymerizable material mentioned is suitable, in
a certain embodiment, for producing colour proofs from positive film
masters, which is described, inter alia, in US-A 4,895,787,
US-A 5,049,476 and EP Application No. 96 201 083.1. In combination
with the novel development material, it is now possible, using
precisely this photopolymerizable material, also to produce colour
proofs from negative film masters. 
     By using a suitable procedure, this system even makes it
possible to employ and process negative and positive film masters
simultaneously on a receiving material, it not being necessary for
the emission spectrum of the light source to be varied during
production of the colour proofs.

Abstract: A synthesized picture signal of a dynamic image is produced
by combining a long-time picture signal representing a low
luminance and a short-time picture signal representing a high
luminance, pieces of histogram data corresponding to a
plurality of luminance levels are detected from the
synthesized picture signal, a sum of values of pieces of
histogram data is repeatedly calculated as a summed value of a
piece of summed histogram data while the number of pieces of
histogram data is increased, and an inclination of a line
indicated by a series of summed values is detected as a
luminance gradation characteristic. Thereafter, the luminance
gradation characteristic is corrected to a corrected luminance
gradation characteristic according to a relationship between a
maximum luminance level and an upper limit luminance level of
a dynamic range, and a luminance gradation corrected signal
composed of the pieces of histogram data corresponding to
gradation corrected luminance levels is produced according to
the corrected luminance gradation characteristic to make a
maximum gradation corrected luminance level equal to or lower
than the upper limit luminance level. Therefore, a low
luminance object and/or a high luminance object can be clearly
reproduced within the dynamic range.
