摘要:
An electric power steering apparatus is composed of a wheel gear connected with a steering wheel, a worm shaft tooth-engaged with the wheel gear, and an electric motor rotatably driving the worm shaft in which a worm tooth portion of the worm shaft is formed with a compound lead. Further, the worm shaft is fixed in an axial direction by at least one locknut provided at a portion of a separate side of the electric motor. Further, one end of the worm shaft is rotatably supported through a ball bearing and is fixed by the locknut in the axial direction of the worm shaft, and the other end thereof is rotatably supported through another ball bearing or is fixed by a circlip through a disc-shaped spring in the axial direction. Furthermore, only respective outer rings of the ball bearings are further secured to a housing in which the worm shaft and the wheel gear are disposed.

A variable transmission ratio apparatus for effectively preventing ratcheting between a flexible spline and a circular spline caused by a steering operation performing in a locked state. A variable transmission ratio apparatus includes a strain wave gear mechanism for adding rotation resulting from motor drive to rotation from an input shaft resulting from a steering operation and transmitting the added rotation to an output shaft, a housing accommodating the strain wave gear mechanism and the motor and fixed to a non-rotating portion, and a lock device for locking the housing and a motor shaft in a manner prohibiting relative rotation therebetween. Among the circular splines forming the strain wave gear mechanism, the number of teeth of the circular spline connected to the output shaft is greater than the number of teeth of the circular spline connected to the input shaft.

A motion image decoding apparatus for generating a prediction signal in blocks is provided with a low-resolution block decoder for generating a low-resolution block with a smaller number of pixels than that of a prediction block by decoding encoded data. The motion image decoding apparatus is further provided with an enhanced block generator for enhancing a low-resolution block generated by a decoded low-resolution block to a block with the same number of pixels as that of the prediction block using a decoded image. Furthermore, the motion image decoding apparatus is provided with a block divider for generating plural small blocks by dividing an enhanced block based on a predetermined division rule and a small block predictor for generating a predicted small block of a small block using a decoded image and the plural small blocks.

A process for producing an aliphatic polyester, comprising: subjecting at least two serial stages of bulk-phase ring-opening polymerization and a solid-phase polymerization step, wherein a cyclic ester held in a dry air atmosphere is supplied to a first reactor to perform a first stage polymerization, thereby obtaining a partially polymerized molten product, and the resultant partially polymerized molten product is supplied to a second reactor held under a dry inert gas atmosphere to perform a second stage polymerization. As a result, the production efficiency can be improved, while maintaining excellent properties of the aliphatic polyester product.

A process for producing an aliphatic polyester includes the steps of: heating a cyclic ester at a melting point or higher to transform the cyclic ester into molten state and convert a moisture contained in the cyclic ester into free carboxylic acid; measuring an amount of the free carboxylic acid in the molten cyclic ester; feeding a proton-source compound in an amount determined based on the measured amount of the free carboxylic acid into the molten cyclic ester; and subjecting the cyclic ester to ring-opening polymerization. The process provides an aliphatic polyester with a desired molecular weight which can be set easily and accurately. An apparatus for the process is also provided.
摘要:
A block divider divides an input image into a plurality of regions. A prediction signal generator generates a prediction signal for the pixel signal contained in an object region, which is the object of processing, among the plurality of regions, and generates a prediction signal by using a texture synthesis method for forming a texture signal for the object region. A subtracter determines a residual signal between the pixel signal of the object region and the prediction signal, and a transformer and quantizer encode the residual signal to generate a compressed signal.

Moving picture motion compensation coding/decoding predicts a motion vector in a coding block from a motion vector of the adjacent position and codes a differential motion vector calculated from the motion vector to be coded and its prediction motion vector. The coding is performed by switching the coding accuracy between a coding accuracy of the differential motion vector (1) and a coding accuracy of the prediction motion vector and the coding motion vector (2) for each block. Moreover, when decoding the motion vector from the differential motion vector coded by the aforementioned coding, a reversed processing with respect to the coding is performed.
