Patent EP-0558684-A4 (EP)
Inventor: MUN KAM CHONG
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 1991-11-19
Abstract: A failure indicating device wherein a fluid is encased within a bore in a fastener. In another embodiment of the invention, the fluid is encased within a thin walled capsule which in turn is encapsulated within a bore in the fastener. Upon failure of the fastener, the encased fluid will leak out into the external surface and its detection will indicate that the fastener has failed. The stress which causes the fastener to fail will also assist the fluid to leak out onto its external surface. To facilitate the leakage of the fluid, one or more shallow and narrow groove(s) may be machined onto the external surface of the fastener so that the leaked fluid will travel along this groove(s) to the preferred external end of the fastener. This is desirable in cases where only one side of the joint is accessible.

Title: Optical system auxiliary input calibration arrangement and method of using same.
Inventor: MARSCHALL ROGER
IPC: G09G3/02
Filed: 1993-02-02
Abstract: A method and optical system auxiliary input calibration arrangement (10A) accurately and reliably discriminate between a user generated image and a video source generated image, such as one produced by a computer. The calibration arrangement includes amplifier devices (176a) for increasing the strength of a video information signal (178A) indicative of the video generated image, and a user generated auxiliary input signal (179A) indicative of an auxiliary input light image, without increasing spurious ambient light signals. A discrimination circuit (46A) generates a detection signal whenever the amplified information signals are greater than a predetermined reference level signal. The microprocessor (42A) controls the exposure time of the light sensing device and selects an appropriate level of amplification for the output signal from the sensing device to increase light sensitivity between the vieo source generated light images as compared to the user generated auxiliary light images. The optical auxiliary input arrangement (11B) accurately and reliably discriminates between user generated double click information without the need of the user being so steady of hand as to cause the auxiliary light information beam to illuminate the same precise location on the viewing surface during the double click operation.

Title: Method for recognizing alphanumeric strings spoken over a telephone network.
Inventor: HUNT ALAN K
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1993-06-22
Abstract: The present invention describes a method for recognizing alphanumeric strings spoken over a telephone network wherein individual character recognition need not be uniformly high in order to achieve high string recognition accuracy. Preferably, the method uses a processing system having a digital processor, an interface to the telephone network, and a database for storing a predetermined set of reference alphanumeric strings. In operation, the system prompts the caller to speak the characters of a string, and characters are recognized using a speaker-independent voice recognition algorithm. The method calculates recognition distances between each spoken input character and the corresponding letter or digit in the same position within each reference alphanumeric string. After each character is spoken, captured and analyzed, each reference string distance is incremented and the process is continued, accumulating distances for each reference string, until the last character is spoken. The reference string with the lowest cumulative distance is then declared to be the recognized string.

Patent EP-0792449-A4 (EP)
Title: Fluid sampler
Inventor: REINTJES JOHN F
IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 1995-11-17
Abstract: An optical scheme for in situ identification of particulates in fluid such as engine oil, in which a portion of the fluid flow is tapped, fed via a conduit to a pair of optically transparent opposed plates, imaged through the plates, and the fluid returned to the main flow. Imaging is preferably done with a laser and photodetector array, and the output fed to a computer for image processing. Separation between the plates ensures that all the oil therebetween will be in the imaging system's near field. Preferably, the computer counts the number of particles in the oil, and classifies their shape, by scanning the image until it hits an object (i.e. hits an opaque pixel), using known chain code to trace the object's outline, determining the object's aspect ratio, and repeating for each object in the image. One embodiment uses a planar rotary member which is scalloped about its periphery. The scallops act to push oil continuously against an outer casing. The casing has a light source for directing coherent light at the rotary member, which is made reflective. As the rotary member moves in the casing, it carries fluid with it, and packs the fluid against the casing. The gap between the light source and the rotary member then constitutes the passageway which is imaged.

Abstract: Le courant d'anode provenant d'une photodiode PD1 et le courant de cathode provenant d'une autre photodiode PD2, lesquels sont en phase l'un avec l'autre, sont additionnés et transmis à un convertisseur (1) courant-tension afin d'obtenir un signal de tension. Lors de l'utilisation d'un seul convertisseur courant-tension, ce circuit n'utilise pas d'amplificateur d'addition afin de réduire sa taille, et il réduit le bruit de reproduction magnéto-optique. Ainsi, le rapport signal/bruit d'un signal de reproduction peut être amélioré, et un taux d'erreurs dans un système numérique, par exemple, peut être considérablement réduit de manière à améliorer la fiabilité, la densité des informations ainsi que la vitesse de transfert.

Abstract: Des réfrigérants mélangés assurent une réfrigération à des températures cryogéniques à l'aide d'un compresseur à un étage. Les réfrigérants sont notamment des gaz non condensables tels que l'hélium, le néon ou l'hydrogène, ce qui permet d'augmenter la capacité de refroidissement totale d'un système de réfrigération à la température de réfrigération pouvant être atteinte sans ces gaz non condensables. En ajoutant, par exemple, de l'hélium, on peut obtenir, par rapport aux mélanges réfrigérants sans hélium, une réfrigération supérieure avec les systèmes existants, à des températures supérieures au point d'ébullition normal de l'azote ou de l'argon. En augmentant la valeur de la pression de retour du cycle de réfrigération par rapport au pourcentage molaire de l'hélium présent dans le réfrigérant, on peut maintenir une température de réfrigération constante, présentant une stabilité supérieure à celle des systèmes antérieurs fonctionnant à la même température sans enrichissement à l'hélium.
