Patent JP-4388226-B2 (JP)
IPC: H04N5/365
Filed: 1998-09-18
Granted: 2009-12-24
Abstract: The invention provides a sensor system (800) for generating a sensor signal (Sout) corresponding to a filtered image of a scene. The system (800) incorporates a multielement array (526) and associated processing circuits for providing element signals in response to images projected onto it and a projecting lens assembly (502) for projecting images onto the array (526). The lens assembly (502) projects differently blurred images of the scene onto the array (526) for generating a measurement signal during a measurement phase and a local spatial average correction signal during a calibration phase. A light-diffusing shutter (522) is used for generating the differently blurred images. The system (800) substracts the measurement and correction signals of each element from one another to provide a difference signal and uses this signal to generate the sensor signal (Sout) during the measurement phase. The calibration phase is repeated on change of array temperature or incident radiation intensity, thereby reducing fixed pattern noise in the sensor signal (Sout) despite environmental change, and interrupting the measurement phase only infrequently.

Abstract: In a telecommunications system a data function and a data control function are replicated in a plurality of databases (50, 51, 52, 53, 54). In order to synchronize updating of the databases (50, 51, 52, 53, 54), one database is identified as a primary database (50), at least one is identified as a primary standby database (51), and the others identified as secondary databases (52, 53, 54). Then, in normal operation, the data control function of the primary database (50) is arranged to generate signals for synchronized updating of the other databases. In the event of a failure of the primary database, the or a standby primary database (51) takes over the up-grading operating. The present invention is particularly, but not exclusively, directed to a telecommunications system for mobile telephones.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus (vessel) for providing a heat transfer rate from a reaction chamber through a wall to a heat transfer chamber substantially matching a local heat transfer rate of a catalytic thermal chemical reaction. The key to the invention is a thermal distance defined on a cross sectional plane through the vessel inclusive of a heat transfer chamber, reaction chamber and a wall between the chambers. The cross sectional plane is perpendicular to a bulk flow direction of the reactant stream, and the thermal distance is a distance between a coolest position and a hottest position on the cross sectional plane. The thermal distance is of a length wherein the heat transfer rate from the reaction chamber to the heat transfer chamber substantially matches the local heat transfer rate.
