Abstract: A stanchion (30,30',30'') for supporting a semi-trailer for transport on a bed (34) of a rail car comprises a generally vertically-oriented support member (14) having a base end and a top end, with a fifth wheel (12) mounted to the top end. A diagonal strut (16) attached to the support member (14) extends angularly downward. A first plate member (32) is positioned on the rail car bed (34) and has a first pin (36) extending therethrough and into the rail car bed (34) for pivotally attaching the plate member (32) to the rail car. A second pin (38) extends through the plate member (32) and into the rail car bed (34) to prevent rotation of the plate member (32) about the first pin (36). Flanges (37) on a top surface of the plate member (32) are attached to the support member (14) and the strut (18), allowing orientation of the fifth wheel (12) to be reversed by rotating the plate member (32) about the first pin (36). The stanchion (30,30',30'') may include a second plate member (42) attached to the top end of the support member (14) beneath the fifth wheel (12), with the fifth wheel (12) being pivotally mounted to the second plate member (42) so that the fifth wheel (12) is independently reversible.

Title: Method for selecting JPEG quantization tables for low bandwidth applications
Inventor: BERETTA GIORDANO
IPC: H04N1/64
Filed: 1996-03-07
Abstract: A method of compressing color source image data includes forming a quantization table with a "supra-threshold" term. This method includes a step of selecting a set of target images, where each target image includes one or more image elements such as text. These image elements are then analyzed to identify those that are more important for visual quality. These "supra-threshold" terms are then selected that gives a larger weight to the quantization table elements that correspond to important image elements and a smaller weight to the table elements that correspond to less important image elements. This process selectively weights the characteristics of each DCT basis vectors. By giving larger weights to the table elements that correspond to the "up-downness" of the image, i.e., the vertical attributes of the image elements, and the "left-rightness" of the image, i.e., the horizontal attributes of the image elements, and smaller weights to the table elements corresponding to the "criss-crossedness" of the image, i.e., the diagonal attributes of the image elements, the visual quality of an image that includes text can be preserved while significantly increasing the compression ratio. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A diffractive optical element, ("DOE"), and particularly a diffractive lens having annular zones about an optical axis and known as a Fresnel zone plate or kinoform lens, is athermalized so that its effective focal length ("EFL") does not shift substantially with temperature over a temperature range by, respectively, increasing and decreasing the zone widths with respect to widths which are optimized to focus at the EFL at room temperature. Half of the zones (alternate, adjacent zones) provide the correct EFL for the expanded condition of the lens at the hot end of the temperature range; the other half of the zones provide correct EFL for the contracted condition of the lens at the cold end of the temperature range. The exact spacings and zone widths are obtained, in the same manner as a diffractive lens is corrected for spherical and chromatic aberration, from the coefficients of the equation governing the phase shift through the lens as a function of radial distance from the optical axis, by averaging the aberration properties at the hot and cold ends of the range, the net effect of which is to dictate the spacing of alternate, successive zones which are slightly greater and less than the zone spacings optimized at room temperature, respectively. The diffractive zones may be made of annular rings prepared by diamond-turning or by injection molding into a die with a blazed surface. The surface of a hybrid refractive/diffractive singlet, opposite from the surface having the diffractive zones may be curved, as may be the blazed surface having the DOE.

Abstract: A bone assessment apparatus for assessing bone by ultrasonic waves. A slider mechanism for supporting a platform is provided such that it is free to be given a parallel displacement. When a foot is placed on the platform and a pair of measuring units are brought close together, the platform starts to slide from when one of the units comes in contact with the foot. When the contact pressures of the two units are identical, the sliding motion stops. The center line of the foot is thereby made to coincide with the center line between transducers, and in this situation, ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received.

Abstract: A high-voltage bipolar transistor (10'') and a fabrication method are disclosed that comprise a shield electrode (22) (or field-termination electrode) located between bond pads (12) and underlying semiconductor material. The shield electrode (22) is sandwiched between two isolating dielectric layers (21, 23). High-voltage applied to the bond pad (12) establishes an electric field between the bond pad (12) and the shield electrode (22), preventing field penetration into and inversion of the underlying semiconductor material. Using this overlapping field-termination structure, low leakage current and high breakdown voltage is maintained in the transistor (10''). The present overlapping field-termination structure provides an effective field termination underneath the bond pads (12), and because of its overlapping design, provides for a more compact transistor (10'').

Abstract: A transfer-rate computing part computes a transfer rate of an output from a DVTR part to output the same through a packet conversion part. Child units which are newly connected to a bus output data of the transfer rate subsequent to a request command of a bus use right. A total transfer-rate computing part of a parent unit computes a total transfer rate of the data which are transmitted through the bus. An arbitration control part judges whether or not the total transfer rate exceeds the maximum transfer rate which is set in the bus. Only in a case where the total transfer rate does not exceed the maximum transfer rate, a command transmission part issues a bus use permission right, to cause the data to be sent from newly connected child units. In this manner, in a case where a new equipment is connected to the bus and also in a case where connection of the bus is turned off, synchronous transfer is assured.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding multi-dimensional signals non-separable multi-dimensional filters are utilized. Analysis filters encode the signal by applying a windowing function and a reduction function to the multi-dimensional signal. This produces a prototype. The prototype is then replicated as many times as required by utilizing a modulation function. Synthesis filters then decode the encoded signal by utilizing the inverse of the encoding process.

Abstract: D'après le procédé connu, une région passive (3) se trouve en position contiguë à la surface (20) du miroir d'un laser. Dans ce cas, on crée une mésa (12), dont une face d'extrémité est parallèle à la surface de miroir à constituer. On effectue la croissance de la région passive (3) contre la face d'extrémité et on obtient la surface (20) de miroir par clivage. Ce procédé de l'état actuel de la technique présente un désavantage résidant dans le fait que les laser obtenus possèdent souvent une configuration irrégulière de rayonnement émis ou amplifié, un courant de déclenchement élevé et une durée de vie limitée. Dans le procédé décrit par l'invention, la région passive se trouve exclusivement au niveau de la zone de la région active (1). L'influence des problèmes de nucléation se trouve donc réduite et on évite les irrégularités du trajet de rayonnement. De ce fait, la configuration de rayonnement est régulière et le laser possède un courant de déclenchement faible et une durée de vie longue. On crée la région passive (3) au niveau de la zone de la région active (1) uniquement de la façon suivante: on forme deux creux (30) dans la structure des couches du laser au niveau de la zone de la surface de miroir à obtenir, ce qui permet de descendre jusqu'à la couche active (1). Puis on supprime sélectivement une partie de la couche active (1) située entre les creux (30) et on effectue la croissance de la région passive (3) à partir des creux (30) dans la cavité tubulaire (31) ainsi obtenue. Ce procédé est approprié pour fabriquer des lasers guidés respectivement par gain et par index et possédant une région miroir passive. Cependant, ce procédé permet également de fabriquer avantageusement d'autres dispositifs optoélectroniques, tels que deux guides d'ondes à rayonnement situés l'un au-dessus de l'autre et reliés localement entre eux par la troisième région à semi-conducteurs, qui, dans ce cas, constitue un guide de rayonnement.
