Patent EP-0864958-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAWACHIYA KIYOKUNI
IPC: G06F3/038
Filed: 1998-02-02
Abstract: A pointing device comprising a stick (1), a vector detection mechanism (3,11)
placed away from the stick by a predetermined distance so as to turn
around the longitudinal axis of the stick, for outputting a signal
corresponding to a force vector of a force applied by the stick when the
stick (1) contacts with the mechanism, and a detector (9) for detecting a force
applied in the longitudinal direction of the stick (1). In response to a
signal output from the vector detection mechanism, it is judged whether
an evaluation value of the force vector satisfies a predetermined
condition. When the evaluation value of the force vector satisfies the
predetermined condition, execution of a first kind of manipulation
according to the evaluation value is instructed. When the evaluation
value does not satisfy the predetermined condition, execution of a second
kind of manipulation is instructed.

Abstract: Data input (21) received by a printer (11,12,13,14) is printed and dot data
(24), which indicates location of dots (71-78) on a print medium, is generated from
the data input (21). Dot shift data (22) is used in order to make sub-pixel shifts in
locations of a subset (72-75,77) of the dots (71-78) on the print medium. Pulses are
provided to a printhead (13) which result in ink being emitted through nozzles located
on the printhead (13). When placing the dots (71-78) on the print medium, sub-pixel
shifts in locations of the subset (72-75,77) of the dots (71-78) is achieved by time
shifting the occurrence of pulses used to generate the dots (71-78).

Abstract: An electronic instrument with a housing having a battery compartment. The housing has
a probe connector oriented on a probe axis, so that a probe may be connected to the
instrument via the connector for interfacing with a device under test. A removable battery
cover encloses the battery compartment, and has a probe aperture registered with the probe
connector, so that a probe may be connected when the battery cover is installed. To prevent
removal of the battery cover when a probe is connected to the probe connector, the battery
cover is constrained against movement along the probe axis. In addition, the battery cover
may contain a conductive safety element necessary to complete a circuit between the battery
and other components in the instrument, so that the batteries are capable of delivering power
only when the cover is properly installed.

Abstract: Compositions améliorées de polyorganosiloxane polymérisable à deux constituants destinées plus particulièrement à être utilisées pour réaliser des empreintes dentaires, ces compositions se caractérisant par une meilleure résistance au déchirement et par une maniabilité renforcée. La résistance améliorée au déchirement résulte de l'incorporation d'un polysiloxane quadrifonctionnel ayant une teneur en vinyle comprise entre 0,16 et 0,24 m-mole/g. Le temps de travail est maintenu par incorporation de quantités suffisantes d'une composition de retardateurs qui retardent le début de la polymérisation du vinyle. La mouillabilité est accrue par l'incorporation d'un tensioactif produisant un angle de contact superficiel avec l'eau, à trois minutes, inférieur à 50°. Le tensioactif sélectionné présente un rapport hydrophyle-lipophile compris entre 8 et 11, de sorte que l'angle de contact de mouillage est obtenu en moins de deux minutes et reste humide pendant tout le temps de travail nécessaire à la prise de l'empreinte, ceci améliorant sensiblement la qualité de l'empreinte. On décrit un matériau d'empreinte à faible viscosité qui comprend un constituant de base et un catalyseur. Ces deux constituants sont des matériaux à base de siloxane.

Abstract: A sliding seat mounting for a vehicle has spring loaded locking catches which lock the sliding rails onto the fixed floor rails. To release the seat setting a manual control is pulled against spring pressure. The mechanical linkage includes a hinged tag (21) which reduces the effective leverage as the control is moved and hence increases the effective mechanical advantage. This provides an even resistance to the manual control.

IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: Dynamic range extension (DRE) is achieved in CCD imagers with
charge overflow structures by varying the potential V G  on the
gate electrodes (18) of the pixel signal charge wells during
charge integration. The wells are formed to function with the
charge overflow structures, e.g., vertical overflow drains, VODs,
a) to control the signal charge spreading due to illumination
overload and/or b) as a means for the control of signal
integration time. Two different V G  levels are applied to the gate
electrodes (18), the lower of the two levels V G  - LOW is applied
for a long duration and the higher level V G  - HIGH is applied for
a shorter duration during charge integration. At low levels of
incident illumination on the CCD surface, charge signals are
integrated without saturation, but, at levels of very intense
illumination during the period with voltage V G  - LOW on the
gates, the pixel wells will saturate before the end of charge
integration, resulting in the vertical overflow drain (VOD)
operating to dump excess charge to the substrate. With the
subsequent imposition of V G  - HIGH for a short time period near
the end of the integration interval, pixel well saturation is
delayed and signals corresponding to high intensity are not lost.
Consequently, imposing V G  - HIGH for a short time period near
the end of the integration interval (a) increases pixel charge
storage capacity and (b) shortens the exposure time, which
combination allows high intensity signal information to be
integrated without loss by saturation.

Abstract: The stock inlet for a papermaking machine, with a pulp feed and a turbulence generator, has a path section (I) where the free cross section steadily decreases towards the outlet which is directly followed by a second path section (II) with a steady and continuous expansion to the outlet.  The second path section (II) with a flow expansion can be followed by a third path section with a steady and decreasing free flow cross section. The third path section length L3 is shorter than the second (II) length L2, which is shorter than the length L1 of the first path section (I). The structure of the path lengths is expressed as L2<0.3> L3 L2<0.7> and L1<0.1> L2 L1<0.3>. The first path section (I) starts directly after the turbulence generator. The total crosssection of the stock inlet jet is formed by a single suspension flow channel (4) at least over part of the length of the stock inlet jet. Or a number of suspension flow channels are over at least part of the stock inlet jet length of the total cross section of the stock inlet jet, formed by at least one divider between the two limit walls. Without exception, all the suspension flow channels have the same cross section pattern, in a shape which covers each other. The rate of divergence at the second path section (II) is identical for all the suspension flow channels. The dividers form a point towards each other at the second path section (II), each with the same degree of convergence at the ends of their surfaces. The alignment of the upper (1) and/or lower (2) wall of the stock inlet, at least in the second path section (II), is in a mirror image to the line of the adjacent divider in relation to the surfaces in contact with the suspension flow. The turbulence generator has a number of diffusion tubes, arranged in rows across the machine width. The dividers start between the rows of diffusion tubes. The upper and lower walls of the stock inlet have the same length. The ratio of the change in the reducing cross section height in the flow direction to the flow path length in the first path section (I) is 0.3-40.0 % and preferably 10-30%. The ratio of the increasing cross section height in the flow direction to the flow path length in the second path section (II) is 0.1-20.0% and preferably 2-12%. The ratio of the change in the reducing crosssection height in the flow direction to the flow path length in the third path section is 1-400% and preferably 10-200%. The first path section (I) has a length of 250-1000 mm and preferably 400-800 mm. The second path section (II) has a length of 20-150 mm. The length of the third path section is 0.5-300.0 mm and preferably 1-100 mm. The smallest cross section height of the first path section (I) is 10-500 mm, and preferably 15-150 mm, and 30-200 mm at the second path section (II), and 5-80 mm in the third path section.
