Abstract: Map data are managed by use of map file names representing
given areas. In each map file name, the first character denotes
a map structure code; the second character represents a zoom
level for a zoom-in or zoom-out operation of the map on display;
and the third through the fifth character stand for an X-direction
unit code and the sixth through the eighth character
for a Y-direction unit code, indicating where the map in question
is located on the same zoom level. The eight-byte file name plus
a three-byte extension constitutes each map file name.
Furthermore, map data are managed by use of floor file names
representing floors in buildings. In each floor file name, the
first through the third character denote a building ID code; the
fourth and the fifth character represent a floor code for
identifying a floor inside the building; the sixth character code
stands for a zoom level for a zoom-in or zoom-out operation of
the displayed floor map; and the seventh and the eighth character
represent an X- and a Y-direction unit code respectively,
indicating where the floor map in question is located on the same
zoom level. The eight-byte file name plus a three-byte extension

Abstract: The clothes rack, especially for drying and airing laundry, has swing rods (6) on a base unit (4) with a swing mounting. The laundry rack has a tongue and groove mounting to hold the base and swing rods together, with the open groove at the base and a projection at the swing rod to grip into it. The projection at the rod has a T- or cylinder or ball shape to fit into a corresponding groove at the base. The base has at least one laying surface (10), or the like, to support a swing rod when deployed to take laundry on it. The base unit has a U-shape, with one leg acting together with the swing rods and the other leg supports the rods when they are swung out for use. The swing rods, to carry the laundry, have two parallel side sections (12) flanking the rods, which have telescopic sections (8). Clothes lines can be on swing mountings instead of rods, to carry the laundry. The swing rods have projections (14,16) to hold the telescopic rods, as pins, to hold the inside of a telescopic rod section and the opposite projection grips around the outside of the end of the other telescopic section. The projections have different dimensions on the inner and outer sides of the parallel side sections to match the inner and outer diameter dimensions of the telescopic rod sections. The projections are injection molded components, with end recesses parallel to each other.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus to obtain accurate gradation by
obtaining an accurate ratio of light emitting parts in a display device which implements
gradation by forming a plurality of TFTs and a plurality of OELDs in each pixel, interconnecting
the TFTs and OELDs, and switching an on and off state of the TFTs, and
controlling a light emitting area of the OELDs. A plurality of OELDs have the same shape,
and gradation can be implemented by controlling the number of OELDs that emit light at a
given time. Preferably a plurality of OELDs have a round shape. Also preferably plurality of
OELDs are arranged at the same interval in a vertical and/or horizontal direction. According
to this structure, because the light emitting areas of the plurality of OELDs become equal to
each other, by controlling the number of OELDs, a ratio of the light emitting areas can be
accurately obtained.

IPC: B65H23/32

Abstract: A paper-web guide apparatus (1) includes a guide member (10)
having a vibration guide surface which is curved about an
axis and is adapted to guide the paper web (W) toward a desired
direction, and a vibration excitation unit (90) for vibrating the
guide member (10) about the axis to thereby generate ultrasonic
torsion vibration on the vibration guide surface. The
vibration guide surface may be further displacable about the
axis, and a displacement drive unit for displacing the curved
vibration guide surface about the axis may be provided. When
the vibration excitation unit is operated, the guide member (10)
is twisted about the axis and thus ultrasonic torsion
vibration is generated on the curved vibration guide surface.
As a result, antinodes and nodes of vibration appear on the
curved vibration guide surface, whereby frictional resistance
between the paper web and the curved guide surface decreases.
Further, since the curved vibration guide surface comes into
sliding contact with the paper web (w) while displacing about the
axis, the guide surface is hardly dirtied by ink transfer.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling the rotation
of an object are provided. In the method, first and
second actual control variables which vary as the object
rotates are measured. It is determined whether the first
actual control variable is smaller than a predetermined
control variable. It is determined whether a
predetermined period of time has elapsed if it is
determined that the first actual control variable is
smaller than the predetermined control variable.
Difference between a physical quantity that is generated
corresponding to the first actual control variable and the
second actual control variable is obtained, and a control
amount for controlling the object is determined by using
the difference, if it is determined that the predetermined
period of time elapsed or the first actual control
variable is larger than the predetermined control
variable. Here, the predetermined control variable
corresponds to position by which the object should be
rotated for stopping the object in a desired position.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for detecting breakdown in a dielectric layer, comprising the steps of : 
- applying a signal to said dielectric layer, 
- measuring a plurality of sets of readings having values, which are in relation to said signal, 
- searching and identifying outlier readings in each of said sets, said outlier readings being defined by the fact that they have values which are significantly higher or lower than the majority of the values of said set, 
- selecting from each of said sets, one reading which is not one of said outlier readings, 
- comparing the value of said one selected reading to a reference value, so that the exceeding of said value leads to the conclusion that a predefined probability is present for having a breakdown state in said layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the authoritativeness of a document based on textual, non-topical cues. The authoritativeness of a document is determined by evaluating a set of document content features contained within each document to determine a set of document content feature values, processing the set of document content feature values through a trained document textual authority model, and determining a textual authoritativeness value and/or textual authority class for each document evaluated using the predictive models included in the trained document textual authority model. Estimates of a document's textual authoritativeness value and/or textual authority class can be used to re-rank documents previously retrieved by a search, to expand and improve document query searches, to provide a more complete and robust determination of a document's authoritativeness, and to improve the aggregation of rank-ordered lists with numerically-ordered lists.

Abstract: The actual set parameters are monitored in an automatic transmission and compared with the expected, programmed values. The rate of change of the differences between the actual values and the programmed values are compared with threshold values to identify failures in the control system. The differences between the actual and programmed values are used to generate correction signals, if within preset ranges, and enable the transmission to be set for optimum performance. The failure signals are seen by the driver as optic and/or acoustic signals. The failure signals are also used to set the transmission into a basic control mode.
