Abstract:
A pointer remotely points a display screen of a large screen display device. The display screen is picked up by a monitor camera. An image processing unit extracts a feature of the pointer used for pointing based on the resulting image signal to identify the position of the pointing point and the pointer based on the feature. A computer generates information on an object to be displayed at a position pointed by the pointer. The generated information is displayed on a display device (CRT display device or large screen display device) assigned to the pointer. Even when a plurality of pointers are used, the information on the object to be displayed pointed by the pointer is properly displayed.
Abstract:
A safety control safeguard system includes sensors disposed in a quadruple array. First, second, third and fourth signal processing channels provided in parallel each include signal processing means for receiving output signals from the associated sensors for producing a trip signal. First and second actuating means operable independent of each other are provided for actuating an apparatus to be controlled. A first switch means operatively connected to the first, second, third and fourth processing channels for activating the first actuating means in response to reception of the trip signal produced by the signal processing channels and second switch means operatively connected to the first, second, third and fourth processing channels for activating the second actuating means in response to reception of the trip signal produced by the signal processing channels. The first and second switching means are operable independent of each other and constitute a 2-out-of-4 logic circuit in cooperation with the first and second actuating means.
Abstract:
A plurality of slave stations receive a plurality of apparatus information signals concerning apparatus to be controlled (or sensors), and a master station allots the apparatus information signals to time slots in a transmission path and receives a specified apparatus information signal with priority from the respective slave stations. A priority change information signal adder in the master station adds a priority change information signal for changing priority of the information signals transmitted from each slave station to an information transmission signal string containing a sync signal and various information signals transmitted to each slave station. A multi-element information signal separator/processor in the master station separates and processes the multi-element information signals transmitted from each slave station, on the basis of the priority change information signal. A detector/counter in each slave station detects the sync signal transmitted from the master station and counts the number of time slots following the sync signal. A transmission pattern reconstructor in the slave station reconstructs transmission patterns of the respective slave stations in accordance with the priority change information signal when a count value coincides with a predetermined value.
Abstract:
The middle value selection circuit includes three high value selection circuits and one low value selection circuit. Each high value selection circuit consists of a pair of first NPN transistors and a first constant current circuit. The emitter of each first NPN transistor of the high value selection circuit is connected to the first constant current circuit and the base of the second NPN transistor of the low value selection circuit. The base of this second NPN transistor is connected to the second constant current circuit and to an output terminal. The collector of the second NPN transistor is connected to its base. The first constant current circuit produces a current whichis twice the output current of the second constant current circuit. Two analog signals having mutually different combination among three input analog signals are applied to the NPN transistors of one high value selection circuit. The analog signal having a greater value of the two analog signals is generated at the junction of the emitters of these NPN transistors. The analog signals, each representative of the greater value, from the high value selection circuits are applied the emitter of the second NPN transistor. The low value selection circuit produces an analog signal representative of the minimal value among the analog signals applied to the three second NPN transistors.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless communications device with strong realtime performance, giving rise to no latency in communications even if communications errors arise in the communication frame MAC header. MAC header information is used to determine whether or not the destination address of a received data frame is the address of a concerned wireless communications device (1). MAC header information allocated among a plurality of MAC headers is employed in selecting MAC header information without errors. If all MAC header information is in error, a majority determination processing unit (13) is used to effect a majority determination of the MAC header information and generate correct MAC header information. A received data extraction unit (14) removes the received frame header, etc., extracts the received data, and outputs same to an external device.

Abstract:
Each character string information obtained based on each information inputted by the CRT touch input device and the speech input device respectively is integrated by the input control unit and the memory. The input information analyzing unit analyses the integrated character string information. The output information generating unit generates presentation information corresponding to the demand information obtained by the analysis and outputs this presentation information to the display device. Since the input information from each input device is converted into character string information and it is integrated together and is then analyzed, input information is not restricted by each input device and each input device can be used in a free combination when information is inputted.
Abstract:
Command words with address signals are transmitted periodically from a control room to field solenoid valves which are each provided with a single actuation circuit. The solenoid valves that are to be actuated in the field each correspond to the address of the transmitted command words which energize the coil of the corresponding solenoid valve. The actuation circuit inserts an address signal for that particular circuit with regard to current information flowing in the energized coil and sends it back to the control room as an acknowledge word. The control room previously predicts acknowledge words which will be sent back by the actuation circuits when the actuation circuits properly respond to the transmitted command words and the control room registers the predicted acknowledge words as reference words. The acknowledge word sent back by the actuation circuit is compared with the reference word and if an inconsistency exists a fault in the actuation circuit is indicated. The command words includes a control signal N to continuously energize the solenoid valve and a test signal for momentarily energizing the solenoid valve for test. These signals are transmitted from the control room alternately at predetermined intervals and the indication of the compared result of the acknowledge word and the reference word is inhibited during a predetermined time period after the alternation of the address.
