Patent EP-1327245-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DE VRIES JORRIT E
IPC: G11B7/1353
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: A device for scanning a first and second type of optical record carriers (2; 40) generates a first and a second radiation beam for scanning the first and second type of record carriers, respectively, the first radiation beam having a first numerical aperture larger than the second numerical aperture of the second radiation beam. The device includes a non-periodic phase structure that does not affect the first radiation beam. The phase structure introduces an amount of spherical aberration in the second radiation beam for scanning the second type of record carriers for compensating the difference in spherical aberration required for scanning through the different thickness of the transparent layer (3; 41) of the first and second type of record carriers (2, 40). To reduce the amount of stray light on the detection system (25) from rays in the second radiation beam having a numerical aperture larger than the second numerical aperture, the phase grating introduces a discontinuity in the gradient of the wavefront deviation it introduces in the second radiation beam. The discontinuity allows spatial filtering in the plane of the detection system (25) of the desired and undesired rays of the second radiation beam.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un manche à balai inductif, comme illustré en figure 1. Ce manche à balai comprend un capteur de position (208) à multiples dimensions qui comprend au moins trois bobines d'inductance de détection (100) de forme triangulaire et incurvée et un arbre mobile (106) qui comprend un matériau conducteur. La distance de l'arbre mobile à partir des bobines d'inductance susmentionnées varie en fonction du déplacement de l'arbre dans un plan bidimensionnel. Cette variation de distance provoque une variation de l'inductance de chacune des bobines de forme triangulaire et cette variation peut permettre de déterminer la position physique de l'arbre mobile par des moyens de calculs de triangulation.

medium, e.g. a disk, is provided. The data files are
associated with a plurality of attributes and an address.
The attributes and the address of all stored data files are
listed in an input table being stored as well on the disk.
The method comprises the steps of selecting a first
attribute among the plurality of associated attributes;
generating a first output table containing only those
entries of the input table corresponding to the selected
first attribute; selecting a second attribute among the
plurality of the associated attributes, the second
attribute being different from the first attribute; and
generating a second output table containing only those
entries of the first output table corresponding to the
selected second attribute. In addition an apparatus for
sound reproduction is suggested. The apparatus comprises a
memory, in which files of digital audio data are stored, a
decoder for converting the stored audio data into analog
sound signals, and circuitry for driving a loudspeaker. The
memory contains data representing attributes of the stored
audio files. A processor creates a table of audio files
corresponding to an attribute selection of a user. Finally,
the apparatus is equipped with a display for displaying the
