Patent EP-0459418-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKAI TAKAMASA
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 1991-05-28
Abstract: A narrow gap or unevenness of a surface of a specimen is measured while utilizing the tunnel effect of light wave reflected at a boundary plane on the condition of total reflection. A laser beam emitted from a laser source is reflected at a surface of a prism on the condition of total reflection in terms of geometrical optics. If a gap between the surface of the prism and the specimen is about the wavelength of the laser beam, part of the laser beam is transmitted into the specimen, and the intensity of the transmitted beam depends on the gap. Therefore, the gap can be measured by measuring the transmittance of the laser beam and comparing the same with the calculated relation between the transmittance and the gap calculated in advance.

Abstract: In an apparatus for carrying out a linear transform calculation on a product signal produced by multiplying a predetermined transform window function and an apparatus input signal, an FFT part (23) carries out fast Fourier transform on a processed signal produced by processing the product signal in a first processing part (21). As a result, the FFT part produces an internal signal which is representative of a result of the fast Fourier transform. A second processing part (22) processes the internal signal into a transformed signal which represents a result of the linear transform calculation. The apparatus is applicable to either of forward and inverse transform units (11, 12).

Abstract: What is described is a distance counter (1) which associates a continuous indication of the distance covered during the use of the hired vehicle with a simultaneous internal computation of a travel price on the basis of a permanent registration of distance and waiting-time elements. A computation of a travel price can be initiated manually or automatically only upon the detection of the standstill of the vehicle and can be displayed in the main indicator (5). The price parameters can be predetermined as a function of the clock time and calendar date, so that the travel price is fixed completely independently of individual influence by the driver. Distance counters of the designated type are used primarily in vehicles for hire. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus for fusing electric motor parts (e.g., fusing electric motor armature coil leads to the commutator of the armature) includes positive control of the elements which move to perform the fusing cycle so that the fusing cycle stroke can begin at any desired location. This facilitates shortening the stroke and making it constant despite changes or deviations in the workpieces being fused. It also facilitates withdrawal of the fusing head to a location which is more remote from the workpiece when the fusing electrode is to be changed due to wear. In fusing machines having a rotating turret (10) which carries several fusing electrodes (11), the mass of the moving parts is reduced by mounting the actuator which reciprocates the turret (10) on the frame of the machine, and by deriving the motion required to rotate the turret (10) from the reciprocation rather than from a separate actuator.

Abstract: An electrically heated water boiling appliance is arranged to be capable of selectively providing boiling water and water at a predetermined lower temperature (suitable for example for making coffee). The appliance has a first thermally-responsive switch which is arranged to be exposed to steam generated when water boils in the appliance so as to cut off the supply of electrical energy to the heating element of the appliance, a second thermally-responsive switch connected in series with the first switch and arranged to cut off the supply to the heating element at a predetermined lower temperature, and a manually-operable selector switch for taking the second switch out of circuit when it is required to boil water in the appliance. The first, steam sensitive switch and the selector switch can conveniently be formed as a unitary switch structure in which a bimetal moves a trip lever to determine the condition of a first pair of switch contacts, and a third switch contact is provided which co-operates with one of the first pair of switch contacts to define the selector switch, a manually operable lever being movable interactively with the trip lever to determine the state of the selector switch. The appliance also has an element protection control for cutting off the supply to the heating element in a sensed element overtemperature condition.

Abstract: Problems of stability have bedeviled formulations of aqueous, liquid abrasive cleaning compositions comprising soluble abrasive particles. One factor which can influence the stability of aqueous compositions is the high level of electrolyte present in the compositions: ie. the soluble abrasive is typically immersed in an aqueous medium which is saturated with respect to that abrasive in solution. The electrolyte level varies with temperature and this can have detrimental effects on the product. We have now determined that these problems can be overcome by use of an essentially hydrophobic perfume composition as a stability enhancer in a pourable, aqueous, hard surface cleaning composition comprising water-soluble abrasive. Consequently, the present invention provides a pourable, aqueous, hard-surface cleaning composition comprising a water soluble abrasive, at least part of the abrasive being present as undissolved particles having a mean particle diameter of from 10 to 500 microns, further comprising and essentially hydrophobic perfume composition and a detergent, said composition remaining stable after storage at 37°C for twelve weeks or remaining stable after twelve temperature cycles from -5°C for eight hours to 25°C for sixteen hours.

Abstract: Improved compression of digital signals relating to high resolution video images is accomplished by an adaptive and selective coding of digital signals relating to frames and fields of the video images. Digital video input signals are analyzed and a coding type signal is produced in response to this analysis. This coding type signal may be used to adaptively control the operation of one or more types of circuitry which are used to compress digital video signals so that less bits, and slower bit rates, may be used to transmit high resolution video images without undue loss of quality. For example, the coding type signal may be used to improve motion compensated estimation techniques, quantization of transform coefficients, scanning of video data, and variable word length encoding of the data. The improved compression of digital video signals is useful for video conferencing applications and high definition television, among other things.
