Abstract: An electric power assisted steering system of the kind in which an electric motor (7) is operatively connected to a steering assembly (1, 2, 5, 6) through a gearbox (8) to apply an assistance torque to the steering assembly (1, 2, 5, 6) and in which the steering assembly includes a steering column (1) coupled at one end to a driver's handwheel (2) and at the other end to steerable wheels (3, 4), a means being provided for generating a signal representative of the velocity of rotation of the steering column (1). The system includes a high pass filter (13) which is adapted to generate, for frequencies below a prescribed threshold, a signal at least approximately proportional to steering column acceleration and representative of the inertia of the rotor of the electric motor (7), the latter signal being arranged to be used to compensate for the motor rotor inertia in an overall assistance torque demand as developed by the system. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low-power controller for a discontinuous switched mode power converter. The controller has an inductor current sensing circuit to measure the inductor current flowing through an inductive charge storage element as well as an output voltage sensing circuit to monitor output voltage. The controller monitors both the converter output voltage and the inductor current and uses this information to modulate a peak inductor current trip point and controller switching frequency according to a control law curve in order to regulate converter output voltage. The controller prevents the switching frequency from falling below a predetermined minimum frequency. The control law curve is selectable to specify controller operation according to a desired combination of minimum switching frequency and maximum peak inductor current.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for introducing a plurality of optical markers to a field of view, capturing a two-dimensional image of said field of view on an image plate comprising a pixel array, determining a set of marker origin offset values and using said offset values to establish a set of orientation values describing the relationship between the field of view and the image plate are disclosed. These orientation values are used to relate the area of image captured by each pixel in the image plate to the real world. By applying projective geometry, vector analysis and trigonometrical surveys an image analysis is conducted to establish a three-dimensional positional data set describing the three-dimensional position of regions of reflectivity in the captured two-dimensional image. From this data set a three-dimensional model of the field of view can be reconstructed.

Abstract: A method of detecting a magnetic thread comprises causing relative movement between the thread and an array of magnetic heads (2a-2l), each head (2a-2l) generates a signal upon detecting a portion of the thread. The arrival of a thread at one of the heads is detected, that head being denoted a primary head, and the head on each side a secondary head. Output signals from the primary and secondary heads are monitored to generate a representation of the thread, and the magnitude of the signals from the primary and secondary heads are compared such that if the magnitude of the output signal from a secondary head exceeds that from the primary head, the primary and secondary heads are reallocated accordingly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Multipath components of signals transmitted through time-varying digital radio channels are received with individual delays, and signals through a given channel comprise a code identifying that channel. A delay profile indicating a magnitude (Y) for delay values in a search window is calculated repetitively for known channels; the delays of multipath components for known channels estimated; a signal strength indicator calculated; and a search for new multipath components not already estimated performed at regular time intervals. When a new multipath component is found, its identification code is compared to the codes of the known channels. If the code of the new component is identical to the code of a known channel, a delay profile and a signal strength indicator is calculated for a window transposed to include the new multipath component. In this way as many multipath components as possible are included in the search window for a new cell. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an ultrasonic bonding method that bonds a material to a bonding surface by the application of ultrasonic vibration, both side faces of the material in the direction of ultrasonic vibration are clamped by an application member that applies a predetermined ultrasonic vibration, and by a clamping member. The clamping member is synchronously vibrated by ultrasonic vibration transmitted through the material from the application member, and the material is bonded to the bonding surface while being pressed against the application member and against the bonding surface. In this method, high bonding quality can be achieved by efficiently transmitting ultrasonic vibration from the application member to a material to be bonded, and the material can be prevented from tilting, cracking, chipping, or the like without being subjected to a special working operation, for example, forming of a chamfered portion. <IMAGE>
