Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant d'afficher le poids ou le coût de segments d'un article de forme irrégulière qui consistent à passer une barre de capteurs maintenue au-dessus d'une surface d'appui au-dessus de l'article en question posé sur la surface. La barre de capteurs, réalisée en format de poche compact, permet à l'opérateur de déplacer ladite barre selon divers mouvements linéaires et non linéaires au-dessus de la surface de l'article, la barre de capteurs se déplaçant quant à elle latéralement sur la surface de l'article, et les montants d'appui de la barre de capteurs restant en contact constant avec la surface d'appui. Le barre de capteurs contient au moins un capteur qui produit des signaux correspondant à la hauteur de l'article pendant que ladite barre traverse ce dernier. Parallèlement, un dispositif détecteur de déplacement produit des signaux correspondant au déplacement de la barre de capteurs par rapport à la surface d'appui. Ces signaux sont traités dans un processeur de signaux pour déterminer le volume d'un segment non coupé de l'article s'étendant derrière la barre de capteurs à des emplacements successifs. Chacune de ces déterminations de volume cumulatives peut être convertie en continu en valeurs de poids numériques sur la base du facteur de densité pour le type particulier d'article, les valeurs numériques de poids et de coût (fondées sur le poids) étant en permanence affichées à mesure que la barre de capteurs se déplace au-dessus de l'article, l'opérateur pouvant ainsi répondre aux demandes spécifiques du consommateur quant à la partie particulière voulue sur la base de l'aspect physique, du poids et du coût d'un article avant que celui-ci ne soit découpé.

Abstract: Un mécanisme de synchronisation intègre des déclencheurs de synchronisation dans un signal ou un flux de télévision à des intervalles réguliers. Ces déclencheurs comprennent une représentation précise de l'heure à laquelle les déclencheurs ont été intégrés. Un dispositif de réception décode les déclencheurs et synchronise son synchroniseur interne en fonction des déclencheurs. A cet égard, le dispositif de réception obtient une heure de référence à partir du synchroniseur interne et calcule un décalage entre le temps de référence et l'heure du déclencheur. Le décalage calculé est ensuite appliqué sur l'heure de référence. Lors de la réception de chaque nouveau déclencheur, l'application compare l'heure du déclencheur avec une nouvelle heure de référence selon la valeur de décalage appliquée la plus récemment calculée. Si une variation quelconque apparaît entre ces deux valeurs, l'application crée un nouveau décalage lissé.

Abstract: Portable carpet drying systems are provided. The systems comprise a heat exchanger and air mover for rapidly drying wet carpeting and carpet padding. The heat exchanger is adapted to heat the air that passes through a chamber within a connected housing. The air mover passes air through the chamber in the housing, which is warmed by the heat exchanger, and then through a snout in the housing which is placed beneath a raised section of the wet carpeting. This allows for heated air to be passed under the wet carpet, significantly decreasing the time required to dry the carpet and padding. The system may be adapted to allow for the attachment of a separate air mover to the housing, thereby reducing the cost of the system as a previously owned air mover may be utilized.

Abstract: A novel coplanar X-ray guided method and device for insertion of distal locking screws in intramedullary bone nails. The device has coplanar holes, which allow insertion of protective sleeves. A drill and bone screws can be inserted through the protective sleeves. Radiopaque target markers in the aiming arm enable the easy positioning of an X-ray source such that an X-ray beam is coplanar with the aiming arm transverse holes. After the X-ray source is accurately oriented, a single X-ray snapshot is enough to assess the exact distortion of the implanted intramedullary nail. The X-ray beam need not be coaxial with the intramedullary nail holes. The aiming arm has a mobile portion and a fixed portion fastened to the nail, wherein said aiming arm can be adjusted, displacing the mobile portion over the fixed portion, to compensate for the distortion of the intramedullary nail after implantation.  Once the aiming arm is precisely positioned, the aiming arm transverse holes and intramedullary nail holes are accurately aligned, protective sleeves are inserted through aiming arm holes, bone drills are drilled through the intramedullary nail holes and surrounding bone material, and bone screws are inserted, locking the intramedullary nail to the bone.
