Abstract:
A contactless ignition system for the internal combustion engine comprises a first integrator for generating a triangular wave voltage V.sub.1 which rises at the minimum advance angle position and is held constant at the maximum advance angle position, a second integrator for generating a triangular wave voltage V.sub.2 which rises at the maximum advance angle position, a first comparator for generating an output signal in response to the coincidence between the first and second triangular wave voltages V.sub.1 and V.sub.2, a third integrator for generating a triangular wave voltage V.sub.3 which rises in response to an output signal generated from the first comparator, and a second comparator for generating an output signal in response to the coincidence between the first and third triangular wave voltages V.sub.1 and V.sub.3. An ignition signal is generated by the output of the second comparator. The change rate of the triangular wave voltage V.sub.2 is regulated in accordance with the engine operating condition, thus changing the advance angle width.
Abstract:
There is proposed an ignition apparatus for use with an internal combustion engine, including therein an ac or dc power source and an ignition coil whose primary winding together with a controllable electric switching element forms a closed circuit. The apparatus includes therein a control circuit for controlling the electric switching element, which control circuit comprising a first, second, and third signal generating means for supplying control signals to the control electrodes of the switching element in synchronism with the ignition timing of the engine. The third signal generating means detects the spark positions, i.e. angular positions of the engine shaft at which the spark plugs are to be fired, at high speeds of the engine so that the maximum advance in angular position for ignition timing can be suppressed.
Abstract:
An audio data storing unit stores therein audio data, and an image data storing unit stores therein image data. A control information storing unit stores a playback method used for playing back the audio data and a print method used for printing out the image data. The playback method indicates whether the audio data should be played back when a receiving unit receives the composite data, or should be played back after an instruction is input by a user. The print method indicates whether the image data should be printed out when the receiving unit receives the composite data, or should be printed out after an instruction is input by the user. A speaker unit plays back the audio data in accordance with the playback method. A printer unit prints out the image data in accordance with the print method.
Abstract:
An electric driver includes a hook portion which is constituted by a deformable hook-like portion and a connecting portion for connecting the hook-like portion to the handle. The hook-like portion is constituted by a base portion connected to the connecting portion and a bent portion continuous to the base portion, and a front end portion continuous to the bent portion and arranged at a position substantially opposed to the base portion. The front end portion and the base portion can be proximate to and remote from each other. The connecting portion holds the hook-like portion in a direction substantially the same as a direction in which the handle extends. The hook-like portion is pivotably held on a first rotating axis center extending in substantially the same direction as the handle.
Abstract:
Disclosed are, inter alia, optical components that include an optical element (e.g., mirror) and at least three active-isolation mounts mounting the optical element to a frame (e.g., optical barrel or optical frame). An active-isolation mount has a non-contacting actuator connecting a respective location on the optical element to the frame and provides movability of the respective location relative to the frame in at least one direction. At least one displacement sensor is associated with each respective location on the optical element. The displacement sensors are sensitive to displacements of the respective locations in at least one respective direction and reference the displacements to an absolute reference. The actuators and sensors are connected to a servo control loop to provide feedback control.
Abstract:
An input position processing program detects a series of pieces of position data based on input positions outputted from a pointing device, and defines a reference position. When the last piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than a reference area, an operation is to be performed determined based on a direction that extends from the reference position to the defined area indicated by the last piece of position data. When an intermediate piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than the reference area and the last piece of position data indicates a point within the reference area, the operation to be performed is determined based on the combination of directions representing a reciprocal movement between the reference position and the defined area indicated by the intermediate piece of position data.
Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus includes a transport roller transporting an original, a CCD scanning a first side of the original, a CIS scanning unit scanning a second side of the original, and a flap for reversing the original and sending the original to a transport path. A CPU controls the transport roller, the CCD and the CIS scanning unit to scan each side of the original. The CPU determines from the result of scanning whether or not each side of the original includes a predetermined pattern. When the CPU cannot identify from the result of scanning of the second side whether or not the second side includes a predetermined pattern, the CPU controls the flap and a transport unit to reverse the original and cause the CCD to scan the second side.
Abstract:
The inventive image processing apparatus takes steps of 1) dividing an image to be processed into numerals of blocks; 2) determining whether a block is a color block or not; 3) determining whether the image is a color image or not based on the rate of color blocks to the entire blocks. Thereby, valid color pixel rate can be obtained at blocks belonging to a color region even though an image is almost monochrome but partially colored. Accordingly, the inventive image processing apparatus can appropriately determine whether the image is a color image or not.
Abstract:
A precision assembly (210) for positioning a device (226) includes a stage (260) that retains the device (226), a dual mover assembly (228) that moves the stage (260), and the device (226) along a movement axis (266), a measurement system (222) and a control system (224). The dual mover assembly (228) includes a first mover (262) that moves the stage (260) along the movement axis (266) and a second mover (264) that moves the device (226) along the movement axis (266). The second mover (264) is rigidly coupled to the first mover (262) so that movement of the first mover (262) results in movement of the second mover (264). Further, the total output of the dual mover assembly (228) along the movement axis (266) is equal to the sum of the movement of the first mover (262) and the movement of the second mover (264). The measurement system (222) measures a movement position along the movement axis (266). The control system (224) controls the dual mover assembly (228) utilizing the movement position. The control system (224) is designed to effectively decouple the control of the first mover (262) from the control of the second mover (264). Further, the control system (224) includes a quantization feedforward loop.
