The present invention is a circuit for controlling current. In one embodiment, the high reference voltage input of a digital to analog converter is coupled with a reference voltage source which provides a positive reference voltage. A resistive load is coupled to an output of the digital to analog converter and to a circuit output pin. A sensing device couples the circuit output pin with the low reference voltage input of the digital to analog converter and to a reference ground input of the voltage source. The positive reference voltage, low reference voltage, and reference ground voltage are changed in response to the sensing device detecting a change in the output voltage.

A vehicle can implement such an estimation.

Proposed is a method of teaching an industrial robotic station with elimination of errors of assembling and installation as well as errors accumulated during operation for a predetermined operation time or a number of operation cycles. The method consists of providing a robotic station with a coordinate system fixed relative to the frame and all other stationary components including at least two reference objects, one of which is a tactile sensor and another is a hard body such as a hard spherical ball. A position of the center of the hard precision in the fixed coordinate system of the robotic station is determined via contact with a changeable tactile sensor attached to the coupling of the robot arm and is assumed as center of coordinates of an operative coordinate system which is then used for moving the robot arm to working positions memorized in a CPU and in accordance with a memorized sequence.

A decoding method of a cyclic code decoder includes the machine-implemented steps of: establishing a lookup table; receiving a codeword; computing a syndrome and a Hamming weight; if the Hamming weight is not equal to zero and not greater than an error correcting capability value, performing a first error correcting operation; if the Hamming weight is greater than the error correcting capability value, and if the syndrome has a matching syndrome pattern in the lookup table, performing a second error correcting operation; if a second Hamming weight corresponding to a syndrome difference is smaller than a check value, performing a third error correcting operation, otherwise performing a fourth error correcting operation; and if a counter value is greater than zero, performing a fifth error correcting operation before decoding a corrected codeword.

A table designed for use in a restaurant. The table enables a patron of such restaurant to communicate with at least one of a hostess, waiter, waitress, chef and manager at such restaurant. The said table includes at least one leg member. A table top, having a predetermined configuration, is secured to the at least one leg member. Such table top includes at least one screen formed in a top surface thereof to enable viewing pre-selected information. A terminal control panel engages with the table top for at least indicating at least one of the table is in use, the table is being cleaned and the table is ready for seating a patron. Finally, there is a computer device that includes a server connected to the table for communicating with at least one of a hostess, waiter, waitress, chef and manager at such restaurant. The software based in the server manages all of the communication, accounting, products, patron orders, advertising, terminal status, remote support software, and all security.

A device for grinding and/or polishing of, in particular, precision-optical spherical lens surfaces has a machine frame, a tool spindle for rotational drive of a tool about a tool axis of rotation and a workpiece spindle for rotational drive of a workpiece about a workpiece axis of rotation. The tool spindle and workpiece spindle are capable of axial relative adjustment in first and second directions extending perpendicularly to one another and in addition pivotable about a pivot axis in a pivot plane relative to one another. Equipment for cross-grinding adjustment is provided, which has an adjusting mechanism to position the workpiece spindle in a third direction extending perpendicularly to the first and second directions. A clamping mechanism activatable independently of the adjusting mechanism serves the purpose of fixing the workpiece spindle, once positioned, with respect to the machine frame.

Apparatus for analysing a liquid sample (194) comprises beam generating means (1) for generating electromagnetic radiation, detector means (8) for detecting electromagnetic radiation from the beam generating means after the radiation has interacted with the sample, and sample retaining means (10) for releasably retaining sample in the path of the beam. The sample retaining means comprises a hydrophobic surface (for example, a coating on a plate 118) on which the sample is, in use, supported. There is also disclosed a method of performing photometric or spectrophotometric analysis of a liquid sample by sandwiching samples between two opposed hydrophobic support surfaces, passing a beam of electromagnetic radiation through one of the surfaces and then through the sample, and analysing the beam after it has passed through the sample.

The packaging operation also includes a control operation in which the position of the drive belt in relation to the forming tool is controlled when slippage or risk of slippage of at least one of the drive belts with respect to the laminar tube is detected.

For the purpose of providing sector-address information on optical disks, a robust header is realized by utilizing a very simple encoding method that allows asynchronous reading. In order to provide robustness and reliability, the header uses a biphase data format to encode addressing information. The embossed header is further configured with redundant address-fields in a checkerboard pattern between adjacent tracks, in order to provide robustness for media-contamination. Each address-field starts with a unique address-mark and ends with parity-check information to provide reliable error-detection. The entire header can be decoded without the need for a slice-level, thus making it very tolerant to amplitude-variations and DC-offset variations. By combining these characteristics, a header is achieved which is reliable and inherently resistant to failures in providing sector-address information on optical disks.

A method for color cast removal in a scanned image in L*a*b* space includes generating a first color cast correction curve for mapping L* to a first color correction, Δa*, (or Δb*) wherein the first correction curve provides a desired a* shift in midtone regions and is modulated as a function of L* such that black and white points are unaffected; for each pixel n in the scanned image, passing L*_n through the first color cast correction curve for obtaining a value of Δa*_n; and adding the value of Δa*_n to the scanned image's original a*_n component. To ensure that the color corrected a* remains within gamut, a second correction curve for applying a clipping factor to the mapped Δa* may be generated with the a*_n passing through the second correction curve for obtaining a clipping factor C_n; and modifying the a*_n value by C_n(Δa*_n).

The invention relates to the use of infrared thermography as an agent for determining the hardening course of a two-component composition. By use of this, mixing errors, in particular, can be detected at an early stage and the infrared thermography can be used as an agent for performing controls during the process for optimizing the dosing ratio of the two-components and for detecting the end of the gel time. Due to this type of use, it is possible to detect errors earlier, that is, prior to joining to or contacting with the surface of the substrate, thus leading to a faster and safer process and to lower rejection or reconditioning costs. The invention also relates to a production line, an industrially produced and to a structure or a transport agent.
