Patent EP-1659023-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PEZZAIOLI GIORGIO
IPC: B60P1/02
Filed: 2004-11-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle (1) for transporting goods and animals, comprising a loading zone, a platform with adjustable height, handling units (10) comprising a single oil-dynamic cylinder (12) connected to the platform by two bars (16). The cylinder can be released from the platform locked at a desired height, for returning the mobile end (12a) of the cylinder (12) within the vertical height limits permitted for a vehicle. Moreover, the useful cross width of the loading zone allows housing two sided pallets.
Patent EP-1594168-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOAKUTSU HIDEAKI
IPC: H02N6/00
Filed: 2004-02-05
Abstract: A plurality of solar cell assembly series 9 of a solar
cell panel are so arranged that any two adjacent solar cells
in the plurality of solar cell assembly series 9 have a potential
difference which does not exceed V volts which is a maximum
output voltage of the plurality of solar cell assembly series
9. Electric discharges between any two adjacent solar cells
can be prevented from occurring. Even when the output voltage
of a solar cell module changes according to control by a power
control circuit, electric discharges can be prevented from
occurring between solar cell modules in the solar cell array
in which any two adjacent solar cells in the plurality of solar
cell assembly series 9 always have a potential difference which
does not exceed V volts which is the maximum output voltage of
the plurality of solar cell assembly series 9. In addition,
the solar cell modules can be constructed of a combination of
solar cell series patterns having line symmetry. In this case,
while electric discharges can be prevented from occurring
between any solar cells, the magnetic field caused by the solar
cell circuitry can be reduced.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif d'analyse à renouvellement continu destiné à détecter la présence ou une quantité d'analyte dans un échantillon d'essai. Le dispositif repose sur l'emploi d'une zone de détection et d'une zone de compensation au sein desquelles sont immobilisés des réactifs de capture. On a découvert que la présence d'une zone de compensation pouvait permettre de détecter un analyte dans des plages de concentration élargies. En particulier, la zone de compensation facilite la liaison de sondes qui, en l'absence d'une telle zone, se lieraient à l'intérieur du dispositif d'analyse ou présenteraient une «'auto-extinction».

Abstract: This disclosure describes an apparatus, such as a wireless communication device, that applies a direct evaluation technique to render triangles for the 3D graphical environment. The apparatus includes a rendering engine that defines a rectangular area of pixels, referred to as a bounding box, that bounds the area to be rendered. The rendering engine evaluates coordinates associated with the pixels of the rectangular area to selectively render those pixels that fall within the triangular area. The direct evaluation triangle rendering algorithm may require fewer complex operations than the more computationally intensive interpolation process employed by other systems. As a result, the apparatus may present a 3D graphical environment while preserving as much as possible the available power.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un élément de suspension (1) destiné à une base de rembourrage. Cet élément comprend un corps (6) comportant plusieurs languettes (2 à 5) disposées entre deux bagues de support (7, 8), lesdites languettes (2 à 5) étant reliées à ces bagues de support (7, 8). L'invention concerne également un élément de support (40) comprenant au moins un élément de suspension (1), une plaque de recouvrement (41) et un élément de base (42). La jonction entre une languette et une bague de support est conçue de façon à former une arête droite constituant une partie d'une ligne de contour de la bague de support, les bords latéraux de la languette étant libres jusqu'à cette arête droite. Ces arêtes droites permettent de définir clairement les zones de transmission de force pour dévier les forces d'appui de la bague de support aux languettes ou au corps de l'élément de suspension, ce dernier pouvant ainsi se déformer en des points prédéfinis et dans des directions prédéterminées. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la forme de la ligne de contour de la bague de support est déterminée essentiellement par les arêtes droites. Dans un autre mode de réalisation préféré, les languettes sont contiguës à la ligne de contour intérieure de la bague de support respective. Cet élément de suspension et cet élément de support peuvent être utilisés en particulier dans des zones d'assise et de couchage de meubles rembourrés.

Abstract: The present invention realizes a video coding apparatus that is simple in configuration and can avoid video display quality deterioration due to an overrun of video coding processing. The video coding apparatus is provided with a coding means for bringing video into coding processing on a frame basis with a first coding processing method; a processing time detecting means for detecting coding actual processing time required for coding processing on the frame; a delay calculating means for calculating processing delay time of coding processing on the frame based on coding predicted processing time given to the coding processing and the coding actual processing time; a coding load controlling means for, in a case where the processing delay time on the frame is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, causing a subsequent frame to undergo coding processing with a second coding processing method bearing coding processing load lower than in said first coding processing method, and thereby processing time of frames after occurrence of an overrun is shortened for recovery from the overrun so that a frame skip due to occurrence of an overrun is prevented to enable avoidance of video quality deterioration.
