  • Patent number: 5682505
    Abstract: In order to generate an image, modelling data representing image features of the image are stored in a data base, and first characteristics, such as colors, are stored in another data base. An analyzer unit is then able to assign the first characteristics to the image features in an objective way. Subjective properties, e.g. `darker`, `lighter`, are also defined over a range for the image features and a user interface permits a user to select an appropriate value of the subjective property within the range, thereby to generate a second characteristic on the basis of rules relating to the subjective properties stored in a data base. An interpreter unit then modifies the first characteristic on the basis of the second characteristic before the selected image features are rendered into an image by a rendering unit for display by a display unit.

  • Patent number: 5003498
    Abstract: A three-dimensional shape as a synthesis of three-dimensional geometry entities is controlled and displayed. The geometry entities are controlled in accordance with information defining the geometry entities, and layout information arranged in a three-dimensional space. An interface between graphic display apparatus using this graphic display method and an application system is practiced in that the transfer of the information on the geometry entities is carried out. The three-dimensional shape is divided into its geometry entities, and the display of an object having a three-dimensional shape is done as a synthesis of the geometry entities, the transfer of shape data being done separately for each geometry entity.

  • Patent number: 4907465
    Abstract: A change speed control structure for a hydraulic transmission comprising a rotary valve for controlling a plurality of hydraulic actuators, a shift lever extending through a crooked guide groove, and a relay assembly for transmitting movements of the shift lever to the rotary valve on a reduced scale. The guide groove includes three straight portions extending parallel to one another in series and offset in a transverse direction thereof, each straight portion including a plurality of change speed positions. An adjacent pair of the straight portions are interconnected end to end by a bight portion.

  • Patent number: 4077475
    Abstract: Load control for engine of vehicle for agricultural work with rotary working implement, for avoiding too much deviation of the working depth while preventing the engine from stopping under heavy overloading. The rotary working implement is automatically raised and lowered in accordance with the results of sensing the engine rotation and of the actual working depth. For prevention of the engine failure, the rotary working implement is unconditionally raised whenever engine rotation below a predetermined value is sensed.
