摘要:
A method for operating on images is described for interest point detection and/or description working under different scales and with different rotations, e.g. for scale-invariant and rotation-invariant interest point detection and/or description.

An antenna (80,90) has a one dimensional or multidimensional array of elements (20,40), wherein spacings between successive elements of at least part of the array are non periodic and correspond to a series of multiples of a unit spacing, the multiples following a Fibonacci sequence. Two dimensional arrays can be arranged as a Fibonacci grid or as a Fibonacci square tiling. The number of elements can be reduced for a given measure of resolution, while still enabling the signal being transmitted or received to have a peak in a single unique direction and thus form a beam. Furthermore, since there will be some elements clustered close together and a few which are well spaced, it can be more suitable for vehicles (30) than a regularly spaced array. It can be used as a transmit antenna or as a receive antenna for a submillimeter radar system.
摘要:
To provide a quantum motor capable of reliably carrying out rotation. A quantum motor includes a rotor containing a functional material of which quantum characteristic is externally controllable, an N pole permanent magnet and an S pole permanent magnet applying magnetic field to the rotor, and a light source varying the quantum characteristic of the rotor. The light source varies the quantum characteristic of the rotor, so that rotation force is generated in the rotor and the rotor rotates.
摘要:
A first heat-resistant filter medium is disposed in an exhaust pathway of an internal combustion engine. The first heat-resistant filter medium traps hydrocarbon compounds and carbon-containing particulates included in a flow of exhaust gas in a dispersive manner to bring the respective particulates and hydrocarbon compounds in contact with oxygen included in the exhaust gas. The trapped hydrocarbon compounds and the trapped carbon-containing particulates are subjected to combustion with the exhaust gas having a filter inflow temperature lower than a combustible temperature of the carbon-containing particulates. A second heat-resistant filter medium is further disposed downstream of the first heat-resistant filter medium to trap the remaining carbon-containing particulates, which have not been trapped by the first heat-resistant filter medium but have passed through the first heat-resistant filter medium. This arrangement desirably enhances the reduction rate of the particulates.
摘要:
A compression-ignition type engine in which first fuel of an amount of not more than 30 percent of the maximum amount of fuel is injected in an injection timing region from about 90 degrees to about 20 degrees before top dead center of the compression stroke, then second fuel is injected at substantially top dead center of the compression stroke. When the intensity of engine vibration becomes larger, the first injection amount is made to be reduced.
摘要:
A compression-ignition type engine in which the engine operating region is divided into a first operating region F of a low load side and a second operating region G of a high load side. When the engine operating state is in the first operating region F, fuel is injected just once before 50 degrees before top dead center of the compression stroke. When the engine operating state is in the second operating region G, first fuel injection I.sub.1 of an amount of not more than 30 percent of the maximum amount of fuel is performed in an injection timing region II and second fuel injection I.sub.2 is performed at substantially the top dead center of the compression stroke.
摘要:
A particulate trap for a diesel engine use which is less likely to vibrate or deform under exhaust pressures and achieves good results in all of the particulate trapping properties, pressure drop, durability and regenerating properties. This trap has a filter element made of plurality of flat or cylindrical filters. Longitudinally extending exhaust incoming and outgoing spaces are defined alternately between the adjacent filters by alternately closing the inlet and outlet ends of the spaces between the adjacent filters. Gas permeable reinforcing members are inserted in the exhaust outgoing spaces to prevent the filter from being deformed due to the difference between the pressure upstream and downstream of each filter produced when exhausts pass through the filters. Similar gas permeable reinforcing members may also be inserted in the exhaust incoming spaces or at both ends of the filter element to more positively prevent vibration of the filters.
摘要:
A compression ignition type engine comprising an NO.sub.x arranged in its exhaust passage. This NO.sub.x absorbent absorbs NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the inflowing exhaust gas is lean and releases the absorbed NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is rich. When NO.sub.x should be released from the NO.sub.x absorbent, the mean value of the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber is changed from lean to rich. At least at this time, use is made of fuel containing oxygen as the injected fuel.
摘要:
A compression ignition engine comprising a fuel injector arranged in the combustion chamber. Fuel containing oxygen is used as the fuel injected from the fuel injector to the combustion chamber. The mean air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber is feedback controlled to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio based on an output signal of an O.sub.2 sensor. The NOx, HC, and CO produced at this time are removed by a three-way catalyst.
摘要:
A compression-ignition type engine in which fuel is injected in a combustion chamber during the compression stroke or intake stroke before 60 degrees before top dead center of the compression stroke and in which the mean particle size of the fuel injected at that time is made a size in which the temperature of the fuel particles reaches the boiling point of the main fuel component, determined by the pressure in the combustion chamber, at substantially the top dead center of the compression stroke. After the injection and until about the top dead center of the compression stroke is reached, evaporation of the fuel by boiling from the fuel particles is prevented and the fuel of the fuel particles boils and evaporates and fuel is ignited and burnt after about the top dead center of the compression stroke.
