Patent EP-0742658-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MAJETI VENKATA CHALAPATHI
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-05-01
Abstract: A system which avoids the bandwidth inefficiencies of simply providing
multiple separate and independent channels for distributing data services over
television compatible networks by considering the multiple channels as one unit and
managing them as one unit with an upstream bandwidth management unit. This
bandwidth management unit dynamically assigns active users to unused bandwidth
among multiple channels. To accomplish this, the bandwidth management unit
records each request for channel bandwidth that is made, each request that is being
actively fulfilled, and each request that has been completed. Thus, data service
providers, such as multimedia services, can efficiently use multiple 6 megahertz
television network compatible channels to distribute their data to many
requesters/users at high rates of speed over a relatively inexpensive existing network.

Abstract: A disk-like recording medium is rotatably accommodated in
a case 1 configured by opposing an upper half 2 to a lower
half 3. A lower head insert hole is formed so as to extend
from an approximately center of an edge surface of an
inserting direction to the drive apparatus to a direction
contrary to the inserting direction. An upper accommodating
portion 21 having a swelling shape is formed on an upper
surface of the upper half 2 and an approximately direct upper
portion of the lower head insert hole. Thus, an edge surface
opening which contacts the lower head insert hole is formed
on an edge surface of the case on a side of the inserting
direction to the drive apparatus. Normally, the edge surface
opening is closed by a short side portion 42 of a shutter 4
and the lower head insert hole is closed by a long side
portion 41 of the shutter 4. When the disk cartridge is
inserted in the drive apparatus, the shutter 4 slides in a
direction perpendicular to the inserting direction to open
the edge surface opening and the lower head insert hole. In
this situation, an upper head on the drive apparatus side is
inserted in the upper head accommodating portion 21 in an
approximately horizontal direction. A lower head on the
drive apparatus side is inserted from a lower side in the
lower head insert hole. That is, the disk cartridge is
loaded in the drive apparatus in a horizontal state.

Abstract: A compressor has a front housing(11), a cylinder block
(12) and a rear housing (13). The housings (11, 13) and the
cylinder block (12) are secured to one another by a
plurality of bolts (62; 65). A plurality of pistons (32)
reciprocally move in cylinder bores (31) to compress gas.
Each of said bolts has a shaft extending through the
housings and the cylinder block. A cam plate (21) is
supported on a drive shaft (16) for integral rotation
therewith to convert the rotation of the drive shaft to
reciprocal movement of a piston in the cylinder bore. The
piston rotates about its axis in accordance with rotation
force transmitted from the cam plate and abuts against the
shaft of the bolt, which extends in close proximity to the
piston. The rotating piston abuts against the shaft so that
the rotation thereof is restricted. The shaft has a
diameter greater than that of a threaded portion formed at
an end of the bolt. Since the threaded portion is smaller,
the threaded portion does no damage to the piston during
assembly.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) comprises a protective tubular
conduit (12) and a flexible motion transmitting core element (14) slidably disposed in the
conduit (12) for conveying longitudinal forces. A length adjuster (18) adjusts the longitudinal
length of the core element (14). The length adjuster (18) includes a housing (20) having a
plurality of transverse teeth (22), and a slider (26) which is longitudinally moveable within
a track (24) of the housing (20) between maximum and minimum length adjusted positions.
A toothed interlock (36) is transversely movable relative to the slider (26) between a shipping
condition in which its teeth (44) are disengaged from the teeth (22) of the housing (20) and
an engaged condition in which its teeth (44) engage the teeth (22) of the housing (20). A
cantilever tang (48) within the interlock (36) is effectively isolated from the longitudinal
forces of the core element (14) for automatically restraining the interlock (36) in the locked
condition and selectively releasing the interlock (36) to return to the shipping condition for
service or readjustment. The cantilever tang (48) has a cam foot (50) which seats in a stop
groove (54) of the slider (26) when the interlock (36) is in the shipping condition and seats
behind a rear edge (56) of the slider (26) when the interlock (36) is in the engaged condition.
The blade of a screw driver (60) or the like can be used to pry the cantilever tang (48)
upwardly so that its cam foot (50) unseats from behind the rear edge (56), thereby permitting
service and readjustment without damaging the assembly (10) so that it can be reused.

Abstract: A system is provided for reconstruction the 3-dimensional
motions of a human figure from a monocularly viewed image
sequence in which a statistical approach is used coupled
with the use of a set of motion capture examples to build a
gaussian probability model for short human motion
sequences. In a simplified rendering domain, this yields an
optimal 3-d estimate of human motion used to create realistic
animations given a 2-d temporal sequence. The subject
system is also useful to identify which motion modes are
difficult to estimate. In one embodiment, a stick figure is
overlaid on the input video image to allow manual correction
of incorrectly tracked body parts. The utilization of
stick figure correction permits manual correction for a
more accurate 3-d reconstruction of the motion depicted in
the input video sequence. An interactive tracking system
processes real video sequences, and achieves good 3-d
reconstructions of the human figure motion.
