Title: Vehicle hydraulic system
Inventor: A HEARN MICHAEL A
IPC: G05D16/00
Filed: 1998-01-07
Abstract: A vehicle fluid pressure supply in which a pump 22 supplies both a steering circuit 11 and a brake circuit 12 includes an unloader valve 24 connected to the pump with a priority flow port 28 communicating with a first end 27 and connected to a first conduit 32 leading, via a check valve 38 and a conduit 37, to the brake circuit. The priority flow port 28 also communicates with the ends 26, 27 of the valve through orifices 33, 34. The valve 24 has an excess flow port 29 communicating with a tank through conduit 36. A spring 31 biasses the valve 24 to maintain the pressure in the priority flow port above a first minimum level, in opposition to the pressure on end 26. The pressure on the end 27 of the valve is also controlled by valve 41 which is responsive to the pressure in conduit 37 and acts to maintain the pressure in conduit 37 above a second minimum level higher than the first.

Title: Image-forming system
Inventor: SUZUKI MINORU
IPC: B41J2/36
Filed: 1998-07-24
Abstract: In an image-forming system, an image-forming substrate is used which has a sheet of paper and a layer of microcapsules (14) coated over the sheet of paper (12). The layer of microcapsules preferably includes microcapsules filled with differently coloured inks (18C, 18Y, 18M). A shell wall of each microcapsule is formed of resin, which exhibits a temperature/pressure characteristic such that each of the microcapsules can be squashed under a predetermined pressure when being heated to a predetermined temperature thereby discharging the dye out of the shell wall. A printer, having 3 roller platens (32C, 32M, 32Y) and thermal heads (30C, 30M, 30Y) forms a multicoloured image on the substrate. The platen locally exerts the pressure on the microcapsule layer. The thermal head selectively heats a localized area of the microcapsule layer, on which the pressure is exerted by the platen, to a temperature in accordance with an image-information data such that the microcapsules in the microcapsule layer are selectively squashed to produce the correct coloured image in the microcapsule layer.

Title: A tamper evident closure
Inventor: TINKLER DAVID
IPC: B65D55/02
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A tamper evident closure, for sealing bags or the like, comprises a base material 2 with, on one side, a first layer 4 comprising a clear pattern of a high release substance, a plurality of coatings (e.g. 8 and 10) and a layer of adhesive 12 over the coatings.

Title: Deterring theft from automatic teller machines and the like
Inventor: COLE JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: G08B15/02
Filed: 1998-08-14
Abstract: An ATM cassette is fitted with a device to discharge adhesive over banknotes in the event of attempted theft; the device is triggered by a beacon transmitter adjacent the ATM which transmits a pulsed signal to a receiver in the cassette, and if the cassette is not inserted into the ATM within a predetermined time from leaving its carrier box, the adhesive is discharged.. A shield circuit acts to prevent discharge of adhesive when there is no risk, i.e. when the cassette is safely installed in the ATM. and its door is shut.

Title: Motion vector prediction method
Inventor: WEN JIANGTAO
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1998-12-01
Abstract: In a motion vector prediction method based on the image signal compression method of the MPEG-4 or H.263 standard, the motion vector prediction is performed with continuity and correlation among the motion vectors, so that two-way decoding is possible during transmission of blocks with a predetermined packet, resulting in better error resilient characteristics. Motion vectors of macro blocks are calculated, and motion vectors of macro blocks each having one motion vector are predicted while moving to another macro block from left to right, and motion vectors of macro blocks each having four motion vectors are continuously predicted in a predetermined sequence to have correlation in prediction of the four motion vectors.

Title: Digital servo device
Inventor: TABUCHI JUNICHIRO
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1989-01-19
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enhance the accuracy of controlling a speed of a rotor by providing FG detecting means for generating a FG pulse in response to the rotating period of the rotor, and speed detection signal calculating means for calculating a speed detection signal by the output of subtracting means, and controlling the rotation of the rotor by the speed detection signal. CONSTITUTION:A speed detector 5 detects the rotating speed of a cylinder motor 2 by using a FG pulse, and outputs speed detection data corresponding to its speed. A phase detector 6 outputs phase detection data responsive to a phase difference between a reference signal output from a reference signal generator 7 and the FG pulse. The speed and phase detection data are input to a composite circuit 8, both the detection data are added at a suitable ratio, and output as a motor control signal. This motor control signal is input to a motor driver 9, current-amplified, and supplied to the cylinder motor 2. As a result, the cylinder motor 2 is maintained in a rotating state synchronized with a reference signal at a constant speed.

Title: Half-tone reproduction system for facsimile or the like
Inventor: OOHIRA HIDEAKI
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 1979-01-30
Abstract: PURPOSE: To express clearly a gradation difference by obtaining an apparently- natural half-tone gradation difference by having n gradations reproducing half tones and then by generating black information and white information in different periods.  
     CONSTITUTION: An analog picture signal including half tones from picture signal input terminal 12 is converted by A/D converter 1 into an "n+1"-bit digital signal, which is synchronized by memory circuit 2 with clocks from basic clock signal input terminal 13 to divide it into a low-order n-bit output and high-order one-bit output, which are supplied to selector circuit 3. From this circuit 3, a half tone close to black and that close to white are selected and applied to adder circuit 6 and gate circuit 7, and assignment circuit 4 and selector circuit 5 add a fixed constant to circuit 6, whose output is compared with that of counter circuit 8 by comparator circuit 9. Then, a white signal of m pulses is generated, gradation by gradation, in different period on the basis of a black signal of n/2 gradations on the black information side and a black signal of m pulses is also generated, gradation by gradation, in different periods on the basis of an n/2-gradation white signal on the white information side, thereby obtaining a clear gradation difference.
