Patent EP-0371055-B1 (EP)
Inventor: MORTON ROGER ROY ADAMS
IPC: G06V10/28
Filed: 1988-07-14
Granted: 1994-11-17
Abstract: Apparatus for enhancing and thresholding scanned microfilm images, specifically for removing single pixel noise therefrom, and accompanying methods for use therein are disclosed. Specifically, this apparatus convolves each one of a pre-defined group of incoming pixel values with a corresponding one of a pre-defined set of coefficients in order to generate a convolved pixel value. The convolved pixel is then compared against a threshold level to produce a thresholded pixel value indicative of the results of the comparison. The inventive apparatus also includes a noise processing circuit that contains a noise tracker and a noise detector and filter circuit. The noise tracker is used to produce a noise value that tracks a noise level present in the thresholded pixel value. The noise detector and filter circuit filters pixel noise from the thresholded pixel value and, in response thereto, produces a corresponding output pixel value for a current incoming pixel value being processed and provides a signal to the noise tracker that pixel noise has been detected. A background tracker, which also forms part of the inventive apparatus, produces a background value that tracks a background level present in the incoming pixel values. The background value and the noise value are combined to produce an error signal which, in turn, is used, along with a deaveraged value of the current incoming pixel value, to set the threshold level for the current pixel value being processed. Specific apparatus for the background tracker and noise tracker, and accompanying methods for use therein, are also disclosed herein.

Title: Photoelectric switching apparatus of reflection type
IPC: H03K17/94
Filed: 1989-02-14
Granted: 1992-06-24
Abstract: The projection lights including the red and infrared lights are projected from a light projecting device (3) onto a reflex reflector (7) arranged at a position which is away from the light projecting device by a predetermined distance. The reflex reflector reflects the red light and absorbs the infrared light. The reflected lights from the reflex reflector or an object to be detected are detected by a photo sensitive device (4). The photo sensitive device individually detects the red light and infrared light and outputs two light detection signals. The sum of the light detection signals is compared with the first threshold value. The difference between the light detection signals is compared with the second threshold value. An object detection signal is formed on the basis of the logical arithmetic operation of the results of the comparison.

Title: Connection of two profiled bars extending or being in alignment angularly to each other
IPC: F16B7/04
Filed: 1989-08-09
Granted: 1992-04-22
Abstract: The connection has a connection fitting engaging over the connection gap formed by the two profiled bars to be connected. The object on which the invention is based is to design the connection so that the connection fitting is simple to insert into the profiled bars to be connected and simple to operate and ensures a permanent load transmission, the loads introduced being transmitted over a large area in the attached profiled bar. This object is achieved in that the connection fitting has at least one clamping eccentric (1) which is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical outwardly open recess (5) of one profiled bar (6) and which consists of two discs (2, 3) which are connected by means of a bridge offset relative to the eccentric centre and which are equipped with an eccentrically arranged receiving bore for a nut bolt (8) receiving the threaded end of a hammer-head screw (12) or of another connecting rod, the discs and the bridge of the clamping eccentric (1) limiting in a U-shaped manner a clearance (13) which is open towards the circumference of the clamping eccentric and into which extends the shank (11) of the hammer-head screw (12) or connecting rod. The corner or butt connection of profiled bars is used especially for producing assembly workstations of interlinked basic machine structures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un recondenseur comportant une surface d'échange thermique primaire permettant de recondenser la perte par évaporation à l'intérieur d'un cryostat, comprend une seconde surface d'échange thermique afin d'éliminer une fuite thermique dans le cryostat. La seconde surface est refroidie par le même fluide de travail qui refroidit la surface primaire, mais à une température intermédiaire entre celle de la surface primaire et de l'appareil de refroidissement associé, éloigné dudit cryostat. Une conduite de transfert intermédiaire transfère du fluide de travail à partir d'une partie intermédiaire de l'appareil de refroidissement, jusqu'à la seconde surface en relation d'échange thermique avec un écran contre le rayonnement du cryostat, mais qui n'est pas en contact physique avec l'écran contre le rayonnement. L'appareil de refroidissement comprend un réfrigérateur mécanique refroidissant davantage le fluide de travail renvoyé de la seconde surface par la conduite de transfert intermédiaire. Ladite conduite de transfert intermédiaire est de préférence positionnée de manière hélicoïdale sans contact, autour d'une conduite de transfert final acheminant le fluide de travail à la surface primaire. Les deux conduites de transfert forment un ensemble dont le diamètre extérieur est inférieur à 1 pouce, et positionné de manière amovible dans le cryostat. La conduite de transfert intermédiaire est isolée thermiquement de la conduite de transfert final située à l'intérieur de l'ensemble.

Abstract: Le système amélioré de filtration est conçu pour être utilisé tout particulièrement dans un système de circulation de fluides dans un corps en mouvement. Ledit système de filtration comprend un corps filtrant (4) formé d'un matériau poreux élastique, qui n'est pas conçu pour être retenu dans un espace prédéterminé dans le filtre (2), contribuant ainsi à augmenter considérablement le rapport surface/masse du filtre. Le fitre (2) se compose de plusieurs passages non rectilignes qui vont en se rétrécissant (14) et sont orientés sous plusieurs angles différents par rapport à la surface externe du corps filtrant (4). Ces passages (14) sont suffisamment larges pour permettre le passage du fluide et des particules, mais se rétrécissent également suffisamment pour retenir les matières particulaires contenues dans le fluide. La porosité des parois de ces passages (14) est de l'ordre du micron et d'une fraction de micron de manière à laisser passer librement le fluide.

Granted: 1993-11-10
Abstract: DC motors without collectors require position sensors, which recognize or identify the angular position of the rotor, in order to supply a pulse for control of the current in the coil at a suitable point in time. Hall probes which, as a rule, are used as positional sensors, involve a series of disadvantages, such as for instance sensitivity to temperature and radiation. In order to avoid these disadvantages, coils with a magnetic core through which alternating current is passed are installed in the stator-rotor air gap in accordance with the invention. The rotor comprises in the axial segment opposite the coils a magnetic portion and a nonmagnetic portion. This generates a change in the voltage drop at the coil during each rotor revolution.
