Inventor: TAKAHASHI MITSUGU
IPC: H01H9/44
Filed: 1991-12-19
Abstract: A switch is configured that: in the closed-circuit state, at least part of its movable contact arm enters into a oblong generally hexahedral space defined by its elongated stationary conductor in its closed circuit position. Both contacting and breaking of the moving contact and the fixed contact occur in the space. Overall electromagnetic forces generated by the current flowing through the stationary conductor, movable contact arm and the arc induced at the time of breaking effectively act to extend the arc toward a terminal section of the stationary conductor and to increase the arc resistance at the time just after the breaking of both the contacts.

Abstract: Each cell of the display is formed at cross points of a plurality of X-electrodes and a plurality of Y-electrodes orthogonal to the X-electrodes, and has an intrinsic memory. The display's frame period (FM1) is divided into a plurality of sequential subframes (SF1-SF8). Each of the subframes comprises: an addressing period (CYa1-CYa8) during which cells to be lit later in a display period are selected from all the cells by being written by having a wall charge therein. 
     The address periods are each followed by a display period (CYi1-CYi8) subsequent to the address period for lighting the selected cells by applying sustain pulses to all the cells. A number of the sustain pulses included in each display period is predetermined differently for each subframe according to a weight given to each subframe. Gradation of visual brightness of each cell is determined by the accumulated number of the sustain pulses included in the subframes that are selectively operated during a single frame according to a required brightness level for each cell. Thus, an adequate time length can be allocated to the required number of subframes to achieve a quality brightness-gradation for each cell.

Abstract: A method and circuit arrangement for detecting small objects in a natural environment, using an electro-optical sensor, scanning the environment, followed by an evaluating unit and an image display device which may be provided. To be able to extract small compact objects out of their natural environment and to suppress irrelevant background information, a digital image is filtered by at least three non-linear filter branches operating in parallel, in such a manner that each filter determines the maximum and minimum of brightness values of in each case one of at least three pixel reference sets. The central pixel is marked in dependence on a threshold value and each marked pixel is enlarged by including the nearest adjacent pixels. The number of pixels marked is counted for a complete image. The current counting results are compared with fixed limits and used for controlling the threshold values. Finally, the enlarged marked pixels are combined by a logic AND operation to form a result set, and the coordinate values of all end result set elements determined in this manner are stored as detected pixels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In wet processes for the treatment of textiles, it is attempted to determine organic and inorganic concomitants in the material by either allowing conductivity or similar electrodes to run on the material or analysing the squeezing-off liquor of the textile. This gives measurements which are extremely uncertain and affected by interference. As a fundamental improvement, it is proposed to determine the loading of the textile with concomitant in the interior of the textile between or on its surfaces. This can be effected by removing aliquots of the concomitant from the textile in sections by applying and collecting (fresh) solvent and quantitatively and/or qualitatively determining the concomitant contained in the solvent. Alternatively, the conductivity in the interior of the textile between its surfaces is determined.

Abstract: In the image generation method and apparatus of the present invention, an image generation apparatus is provided in which a digital halftone cell of threshold values is generated and broken down into a plurality of tiles determined from the locations of the four comers of the halftone cell. The tiles when put together form a bounding box around the halftone cell. These tiles are arranged into a threshold array of threshold values wherein the width of the array is equal to the number of threshold values in a sequence of threshold values across a row of contiguous tiles and the height of the array is equal to the greatest common denominator of the x axis increment and y axis increment between vertices of the halftone cell. 
     The threshold array is stored in memory for subsequent reference during the halftoning process. Through the method and apparatus of the present invention the amount of memory required to store threshold values is reduced substantially while the speed and ease of accessing the threshold values during the halftone process is maintained.

Abstract: A novel nonvolatile memory cell structure is provided using a non-self aligned CMOS process with two independent N+ implants using a two or a three polysilicon layer technology that allows in-circuit electrical erase and reprogramming together with reduction in cell size requirement. The novel memory cell is implemented with a merged transistor structure having an access transistor and a programmable transistor. The memory cell is constructed by having the control gate, formed of a first polysilicon layer, covering a portion of the channel length between drain and source to form the access portion of the merged transistors, and a floating gate formed of a second polysilicon layer overlapping a second portion of the channel length to form the programmable transistor portion of the merged transistor. Such merged transistor structure is equivalent to two transistors in series, a programmable transistor in series with an access transistor. A memory cell structure described in accordance with this invention allows a reduction of the portion of the floating gate covering the programmable transistor portion of the channel length. This results in a reduction in the floating gate to substrate capacitance (C FB ) thereby improving the programming coupling ratio and reducing the overall cell size.

Abstract: A field installable device for a conventional heating and air conditioning system (HVAC) is provided which operates a blower fan (5) in conjunction with a standard thermostat (7). Presently, HVAC systems operate in four modes: heating, cooling, off and fan "on". The device includes a multi-pole, multi-speed motor (23) and a control operatively connected between the thermostat and the motor. With the fan switch in the "on" position and heating or cooling called for, the control causes the blower to operate at a high speed, which may be different for heating or cooling. When the pre-selected temperature is reached the particular thermal operation (i.e., heating or cooling) is stopped. The control switches the motor to a speed substantially slower than the operating condition speed to provide continuing air circulation until the thermostat again calls for thermal operation. With the switch in "auto" position, the blower operates similarly to present systems.
