Abstract: The spacing between road vehicles on a section of road is based upon inputs from a forward looking radar sensor system in the vehicle. The system differentiates between an overtaking manoeuvre and a vehicle passing around a bend in the road. The radar sensor has an angle of vision ( alpha ). The sideways movement ( delta ) of the overtaking vehicle (B) relative to half the lane width (W), is used as the basis of differentiating between a bend and overtaking manoeuvre.

Abstract: An improved thin film transistor structure is provided having no source/gate or drain/gate
overlap. A laser doping technique is applied to fabricate such transistors. Eliminating
source/gate and drain/gate overlap significantly reduces or eliminates parasitic capacitance and

obtained having high field effect mobilities. Improved pixel performance and pixel-to-pixel
uniformity is provided.

IPC: H03K5/007
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: Reflections on bus stubs are reduced by sensing when transition occurs on the bus.
When a transition is detected, an impedance matched clamp device is activated that clamps the
signal to the new (post-transition) voltage for a short period of time. This clamping action
reduces the energy in the reflected wave which reduces the ability of the reflected wave to
change the voltage on the bus. A receiver detects when a transition occurs on the bus. The
output of the receiver is coupled to a delay device. Logic gates combine the output of the
delay device with the output of the receiver to produce two pulsed outputs. One pulsed
output is pulsed in response to a low-to-high transition on the bus, the other pulsed output is
pulsed in response to a high-to-low transition on the bus. These pulsed outputs control the
clamp devices so that the clamp devices are only turned on for a short period of time.

Abstract: Input light enters a variable optical attenuator 22 and
each wavelength of the input light attenuates at the same
attenuation factor. Although the attenuation factor of the
variable optical attenuator 22 is constant to a wavelength,
it is completely changeable by an electric signal from the
outside of the case or a command signal from a terminal station.
Output light of the variable optical attenuator 22 enters an
optical amplifier 24 and optically amplified in there. Though
output light of the optical amplifier 24 is mostly output toward
the outside, a part of the output light is split by an optical
splitter 26 and enters a photodetector 28. The photodetector
28 applies a signal indicating the input power to the optical
amplifier 24. In the optical amplifier 24, its pumping power
is feedback-controlled so that the output power of the optical
amplifier 24 becomes constant according to the output of the
photodetector 28.

Abstract: In a low cost film scanner, a CCD image sensor 21 is precision
aligned to a film plane scanning aperture 12 and is mounted to the an intervening
imaging housing assembly 10 by means of a radiation (UV) curable adhesive 31 of
appropriate viscosity. With the sensor positioned within but in spaced apart
relationship to a sensor housing segment 22 of the housing assembly 10, the
adhesive is injected through a mounting hole in a wall of the housing segment to
adhere to the image sensor 21. An excess amount of the injected adhesive forms a
cap over the mounting hole. The viscosity of the adhesive is such as to allow the
adhesive to generally maintain its shape in the space between the sensor and the
wall of the sensor housing segment 22. The spacing of the sensor from the sensor
housing segment 22 allows six degrees of freedom of movement of the sensor
during the alignment operation after which the injected adhesive is curing in  situ 
to form a sensor mount fastener with the sensor is precise alignment with the film
plane aperture. The hardened cap over the mounting hole provides a solid
mechanical bond of the fastener to the housing segment.

IPC: H04N7/26

Abstract: Flash frames are detected in video streams, for example, by looking for short sequences of one
or more frames (or, to be more general, pictures) in which the frames within the sequence are not well-correlated
to the frames that immediately precede and follow the flash sequence, where those frames
before and after the flash sequence are themselves well-correlated to each other. Video compression
processing is then adjusted in some way to handle flash frames in a special manner. For example,
since flash frames are poorly correlated to their neighboring frames, it would be best not to make
predictions based on such flash frames when encoding other frames. Encoding flash frames as anchor
frames (e.g., I or P frames in an MPEG encoder) would be detrimental to those frames that are
predicted from the anchor frames. Rather, flash frames are preferably encoded as frames that are never
used as references for coding other non-flash frames (e.g., as B frames in an MPEG encoder). As such,
any errors in coding flash frames are limited to those frames and do not propagate to other frames in
the video sequence.
