Title: Tunable optical active elements
Inventor: ASCHWANDEN MANUEL
IPC: G02B3/14
Filed: 2007-02-06
Abstract: The invention is directed to different optical active elements (1 , 20, 22) such as tunable diffraction gratings and tunable phase shifters having in general a similar setup. The optical active elements (1 , 20, 22) comprise an intermediate layer (4) made out of a deformable material which is mechanically interconnected to a driving means. The driving means comprises a first and a second driving plate (2, 3) arranged in general opposite to each other on opposite sides of and at least partially covering the intermediate layer (4) such that a local compression of the intermediate layer (4) by the driving plates (2, 3) causes a local reduction of the thickness in a first direction. This reduction in a first direction causes a secondary deformation of the intermediate layer in a second direction which results in a change of the optical behavior of the optical active element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système (100) permettant de segmenter un ensemble de données d'image sur la base d'un modèle déformable pour modeler un objet dans ledit ensemble de données, ledit système utilisant une maille large pour s'adapter à cet ensemble et une maille fine pour extraire des informations détaillées de cet ensemble. Le système comprend une unité d'initialisation (110) de la maille large dans un espace d'ensemble de données d'image, une unité de construction (120) de la maille fine dans ledit espace en fonction de la maille large initialisée, une unité de calcul (130) d'un champ de force interne appliqué sur la maille large et un champ de force externe appliqué sur la maille large, ladite force externe étant calculée sur la base de la maille fine construite et du champ scalaire des intensités. Ce système comporte aussi une unité d'adaptation (140) de la maille large à l'objet de l'ensemble de données d'image, au moyen des champs de force interne et externe calculés, ce qui permet de segmenter l'ensemble de données d'image. Comme seule la maille large est adaptée à l'ensemble de données d'image, maintenir la surface de l'objet modelé lisse ne requiert pas un lissage de la surface sur des zones voisines importantes et, de ce fait, l'adaptation de la maille large est beaucoup plus rapide que l'adaptation de la maille fine. De manière avantageuse, la technique proposée peut être facilement intégrée dans des cadres existants de la segmentation d'image basée sur un modèle.

Abstract: Audio signals and video signals are recorded as follows. Three video packetized elementary stream (PES) packets, each being formed of one video frame, are combined to form a video editing unit. Then, the video editing unit and the associated audio editing unit are alternately disposed on a magnetic tape. The recorded PES packets are output as a transport stream (TS) as follows. A system time clock (STC) is initialized, and then, program system information (PSI) packets of a program association table (PAT) and a program map table (PMT) are output. TS packets specially used for a program clock reference (PCR) for storing the STC are then output at certain intervals. Subsequently, video PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the video TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting vbv_delay from the first I-picture decoding time stamp (DTS) with the STC. Audio PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the audio TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting the start up delay from the first frame with the STC. Data streams are recorded in the following manner. The three MSBs of a sync block (SB) header indicate the type of data to be recorded in the following data area. If the data type is PES-VIDEO or PES-AUDIO, a full/partial flag is recorded in the fourth MSB of the SB header. In the subsequent four LSBs, the continuity count value representing the continuity of the same type of SBs is recorded.

Abstract: A first piston (3) and a second piston (4) coupled to a piston rod (10) are fitted in a cylinder (2), and an intermediate chamber (2C) is formed between the first and second pistons. A compression-side check valve (13) and an extension-side check valve (16) are provided at the first piston and the second piston. An extension-side main valve (18) and a compression-side main valve (23) are disposed in the intermediate chamber. A downstream side of a damping force adjusting valve is connected to the intermediate chamber. Inner pressures of an extension-side backpressure chamber (19) and a compression-side backpressure chamber (24) are adjusted by the damping force adjusting valve, whereby valve opening of the extension-side and compression-side main valves is controlled. Hydraulic fluid of the downstream side of the damping force adjusting valve is first sent into the intermediate chamber, and then is sent to a cylinder upper chamber (2A) or a cylinder lower chamber (2B). Due to this arrangement, it is possible to prevent a sudden drastic change in a hydraulic fluid pressure and thereby to generate a stable damping force.
