Filed: 2001-01-27
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Meßsignalaufnehmer, insbesondere einen Füllstandsgeber
für einen Fahrzeug-Kraftstofftank, mit zwei insbesondere
schwenkbar beweglichen und dabei mechanisch an den Meßsignalaufnehmer
gekoppelten Meßwertgebern, deren Position vom Meßsignalaufnehmer
anhand der Position eines beweglichen Signalgeberelementes relativ zu einem
Signalempfängerelement ermittelt wird. Erfindungsgemäß ist der eine
(erste) Meßwertgeber mit dem Signalgeberelement und der andere (zweite)
Meßwertgeber mit dem geeignet bewegbar gelagerten Signalempfängerelement
mechanisch verbunden. Bevorzugt sind das Signalempfängerelement
und der zweite Meßwertgeber starr mit dem Gehäuse des Meßsignalaufnehmers
verbunden. Dabei kann das Signalempfängerelement die Widerstandsbahn
eines Potentiometers oder ein Hallsignalaufnehmer sein und das
Signalgeberelement der Schleifer eines (Dreh-)Potentiometers oder ein Hallsiganalgeber,
daneben sind aber auch kapazitive, induktive, optische oder
auf Ultraschall- oder Radarbasis arbeitende Signalgeber und Signalempfänger
möglich. Die Meßwertgeber können als mit Hebelarmen versehene

Abstract: A context of media content is represented by context
description data having a hierarchical stratum. The context
description data has the highest hierarchical layer, the lowest
hierarchical layer, and other hierarchical layers. The highest
hierarchical layer is formed from a single element representing
content. The lowest hierarchical layer is formed from an element
representing a segment of media content which corresponds to
a change between scenes of video data or a change in audible
tones. The remaining hierarchical layers are formed from an
element representing a scene or a collection of scenes. A score
corresponding to the context of a scene of interest is appended,
as an attribute, to the element in each of the remaining
hierarchical layers. A score relating to the time information
about a corresponding media segment and a context is appended,
as an attribute, to individual elements in the lowest
hierarchical layer. In a selection step of a data processing
method, the context of the media content is expressed, and one
or a plurality of scenes of the media content is or are selected
on the basis of the score of the context description data.
Further, in the extraction step of the data processing method,
only data pertaining to the scenes selected in the selection
step are extracted.

Abstract: The present invention provides an engine
starting method from an idling stop condition wherein a
preliminary step pushes a pinion (110) to abut with a
ring gear (10) when a vehicle operating condition is in
an idling stop condition, a starting step rotates the
pinion (110) into mesh with the ring gear (10) by a motor
(2) upon receiving an engine start signal and thereafter
an engine is started, and a restoring step is carried out
after engine startup where the pinion (110) is restored
to an original position thereof. Also provided, when the
engine is stopped, a pinion (110) is meshed with a ring
gear (10). Upon engine start-up, a pinion (110) actuator
disengages the pinion (110) from the ring gear (10) and a
cutout portion engages an engaging piece to maintain the
pinion (110) disengaged. When the engine stops, a
releasing actuator disengages the cutout portion and the
engaging piece and the pinion (110) is reset.

Abstract: A noise filter 10 of the present invention includes an
inductor 71 and a resistor 11 connected in parallel with each
other. A power supply frequency current bypasses the resistor
11 but passes through the inductor 71. A high frequency noise
current including a resonance frequency current, on the other
hand, bypasses the inductor 71 but is dissipated at the
resistor 11. Therefore, the noise filter 10 does not
accumulate noise power and so does not suffer from a problem
due to power releasing. The resonance frequency current
caused by combination of inductance of the inductance and
earth capacitance in the noise filter 10 is also dissipated
at the resistor 11, thus giving rise to no problem of its own.
