Patent EP-0373811-A3 (EP)
Title: Reflector
IPC: G02B5/08
Filed: 1989-12-05
Abstract: A rotating reflector 9 includes a number of reflective 
facets, each reflective facet being associated with a refractive 
wedge shaped prism 21, 23. The prisms are arranged so as to 
increase the angle through which incident radiation is deflected 
by the reflector. The angles γ which the reflective facets make 
with the axis of rotation of the reflector may thus be reduced, 
reducing optical distortion in the image produced by the reflector.

Title: Priority order judging device
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 1990-01-25
Abstract: Each priority order signal (2) (a code signal 
having a plurality of digits (2a, 2b, 2c)) is processed 
at each gate circuit (11) in the following manner. There 
are checked the level of a K-th digit input code signal 
among the priority order signals (2) and the level of a 
K-th order judgement result signal (14 or 15) fed-back 
from a judgement circuit (13). In the first case where 
the former level is "0" and the latter level is "1", "0" 
(or "1") is outputted as the (K+1)-th, (K+2)-th, ··· 
order output signals (12b, 12c) and supplied to the 
judgement circuit (13). In the cases other than the 
first case, the inputted (K+1)-th digit input code signal 
is outputted as it is as the (K+1)-th order output signal 
and supplied to the judgement circuit (13). The 
judgement circuit (13) performs a logical OR (or NAND) 
operation for each order and the results are outputted as 
judgement result signals (14, 15, 16).

IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 1990-03-29
Abstract: In a SPECT apparatus, when an OM-line setting line 
is projected to a subject (11) placed on a top table 
(14) of a berth apparatus (12), an OM line is posi­
tioned. After the subject is moved to a data acquiring 
position of a gantry (17) by a berth controller (23), RI 
data is acquired. In addition, the position of the OM 
line is calculated. An RI image is reconstructed by a 
data processor (24) on the basis of the RI data. The RI 
image on the OM line can be acquired by performing slice 
conversion of the reconstructed RI image in accordance 
with the calculated position of the OM line.

IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1990-04-18
Abstract: A method and system for continuously correcting for 
errors in color output of a color copier or printer (18) and 
caused by events that occur between the input of a color image 
scanner (10) and the output of a copier or printer (18) driven 
thereby. This method and system includes, among other things, 
the continuous comparison (40) of input test pattern data, 
TP in , from a small color gamut (Fig. 6, 30) or "patch" having 
only a selected few number of color pixels therein with the 
output test pattern data, TP out , from a color printer (18) or 
copier to generate (40) a color correction conversion factor, 
H. Then, H is used to continuously update (42, 86) an initial 
full scale look up table which was initially prepared from a 
full scale color gamut (Fig. 5). The initial look up table 
(28) has a color conversion factor, F old , and H is used to 
convert F old  to F new  where F new  = H · F old  In this manner (84), 
H continuously corrects for undesirable changes in parameters 
used to generate the initial look up table (28), such as 
quality of print media, ink, dye loading, ink drop volume, pen 
types and the calibration of system devices.

Patent EP-0507044-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1992-01-10
Abstract: A digital switching network for providing simultaneous connections among user processors of processor-based communications equipment. The user processors act as originators and destinations of data communications packets. Packet data connections are through node controllers, which communicate with gateways, which are connected to a switching network via packet links. Control messages are communicated between node controllers, gateways, and an interchange control subsystem via various control message links. All control message processing and packet data transmissions are synchronized with a packet frame synchronization signal, and processing tasks performed by each of the network subsystems are pipelined so that they occur simultaneously. Service requests are queued in a central queue in the interchange control system. The synchronization and queueing simplify the control messages that are required to set up and release the connections. <IMAGE>

Inventor: LUDWICZAK KAREN M
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1995-07-19
Abstract: A network management facility is adapted so that it obtains information
including connectivity data as well as the identities of discrete network elements
from an associated network and then uses the information to determine the
configuration of the network. The management facility then generates, for storage in
a network management database, data records characterizing the configuration of the
network, as defined by the components, circuits, etc., forming the network. Once the
database has been created in this manner, the network management system may then
use the contents of the database to provision requests entered by network users, for
example, a request for additional transmission bandwidth. The database may also be
used to evaluate a network condition, such as a condition characterized by a trouble
alarm. Further, the network management system automatically updates the contents
of the database to reflect a change in the associated network, thereby eliminating the
need to rely on personnel to perform that task.

Abstract: A mouse driver arrangement (12) combining a first functional block, comprising
a scrolling-rate function generator (22) for generating a time-dependent scrolling-rate
control signal of pre-defined shape, whose output cycle is a function of the
activation status of one or more mouse push-buttons (16, 18), plus a second

ramp-like scrolling-rate control signal segments of adjustable slopes under
control of the mouse push-buttons. The output of both first and second functional
blocks are combined in a scrolling-vector status variable, whose magnitude is

IPC: H02M7/5387
Filed: 1996-05-08
Abstract: To prevent concentration of load in a certain semiconductor power switching
element. A diagnosis circuit (PC) of a module (10a or 10b) compares a sensing
signal (SSE) for example, which is sent out from a sensing circuit (Se) and is
proportional to the collector current of an IGBT element, with a reference voltage,
and judges presence or absence of abnormality in the collector current. If
abnormal, a shutdown signal (S SD ) is sent out to a shutdown circuit (SD), and the
IGBT element is cut off, and simultaneously an abnormality detection signal (S F01 
or S F02 ) is sent out to the other module (10b or 10a). The diagnosis circuit (PC of
the module (10b or 10a) receives the abnormality detection signal (S F01  or S F02 ), and
sends out the shutdown signal (S SD ) to the shutdown circuit (SD), thereby shutting
down the IGBT element. Since the transmission timing of both shutdown signals
(S SD ) coincides, the both IGBT elements are cut off at the same time. Therefore,
due to earlier shutdown of one IGBT element, concentration of load in the other
delayed IGBT element may be avoided.
