Title: The detection of obstacles in surveillance systems using pyroelectric arrays
Inventor: GALLOWAY JOHN LINDSAY
IPC: H04N5/33
Filed: 2000-03-13
Granted: 2002-04-03
Abstract: Arrays of pyroelectric elements are used in surveillance systems by focusing the radiation from a scene on to them and examining the output from the array. If an object is moved into the scene and left stationary, it will hinder the subsequent operation of the system by masking part of the scene from the field of view of the array; this fault condition may be detected by the following procedure. At intervals arrangements are made to move the image of the scene to and fro across the array using a suitable transducer and the outputs from the array are examined. The outputs from the array when the scene is in its normal condition and the image is moved across the array comprise a set of signals corresponding to a reference image, which may be compared with the corresponding outputs from the array when the image is moved across the array on a subsequent occasion. Change between the reference image signals and subsequent image signals are interpreted in terms of the introduction to, or removal of, objects from the scene. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for manufacturing shirts with inset sleeves
Inventor: ALBERTS JOSEPH RICHARD
IPC: D05B33/00
Filed: 2001-06-07
Granted: 2004-11-17
Abstract: The present invention provides a continuous process for the manufacture of a garment. A web of fabric including opposing web side edges is provided. The intermittently cutting the web of fabric is intermittently cut, thereby forming edges defining neck openings in the web fabric. The web of fabric is cut thereby defining discrete garment-sized pieces. Each of the discrete garment-sized piece of the web of fabric includes at least one neck opening, a front panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, a back panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, two opposing garment end portions, and a pair of opposing piece side edges. The opposing piece side edges of the discrete garment-sized piece are proximate a pair of opposing garment bottom edges of the garment. The discrete garment-sized piece of the web of fabric is folded, whereby one of the garment bottom edges of the pair of opposing garment bottom edges is brought into contact with the other garment bottom edge. At least a portion of the pair of opposing garment side edges of the front panel is fastened to at least a portion of the pair of opposing garment side edges of the back panel to form a pair of garment side seams.

Title: Container and lid with tamper evident label
Inventor: KING STEVEN
IPC: B65D43/16
Filed: 2005-04-05
Granted: 2007-05-09
Abstract: The invention to which this application relates is a container including a base (4) and a lid (6) for containing an item therein. The container is typically provided in a closed format for retail purposes for purchase and, when it is required to remove at least a portion of the item from the container, the lid is moved to an open position. When the container is in a closed position, part of a label (14), which is in contact with the lid and base passes the lid and body and is positioned over tabs to be gripped to move the lid and body apart. This therefore means that the lid cannot be opened by moving the same from the base without first tearing the label or removing the label from one of the lid or base. In any case, the provision of the label overlying at least one of the tabs prevents the removal of the lid without altering the condition of the label and hence renders the container tamper-evident.

Title: Visual image transmission by fibre optic cable
Inventor: DUJON GREGORY FRANCIS
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 1992-04-27
Granted: 1994-01-19
Abstract: A method of calibrating an incoherent optical fibre bundle to be used for image transmission, by determining the relative input to output position of each fibre in the bundle and processing the light output of the bundle accordingly. The calibration technique comprises, defining an address array capable of defining for the optical bundle the position of the ends of individual optical fibres in the bundle; transmitting a series of test images into one end of the optical fibre bundle, each test image illuminating a substantial proportion of the pixels and the combination of which selectively illuminate each pixel of the address array; analysing the output of the fibre bundle with reference to the transmitted images to produce a reference table of input to output for the fibres; and using the reference table to deconvolve an image transmitted along the fibre bundle. Calibrated incoherent optical fibres are of particular use for examining nuclear reactors, chemical vats and other harsh environments.

Abstract: Coolent is passed through the source of heat which has an output decreasing with time, then to a steam generator. The steam produced is passed to an air cooled condenser and the condensate is returned to the steam generator. The novel feature of the proposal is the addition of an auxiliary coolant whose flow-rate is gradually decreased in line with the decreasing heat output of the source. The auxiliary coolant flow is stopped when the heat output of the source is reduced to the capacity of the air cooled condenser

Title: Device for conveying a flat object
Inventor: KOEPPE WALTER
IPC: B65G/
Filed: 1990-07-13
Granted: 1994-06-10
Abstract: A device is described for conveying a flat object, especially an endless belt of material 13, which comprises conveying means 39 for moving the object in a preassigned direction. The position of the object 13 transversely to its conveying direction is monitored by a monitoring device 37 made in the form of a pneumatic measurement limiter 41. For this purpose a jet of gaseous fluid is directed, by means of a blowing nozzle, from a pressure source 46, onto the zone of the edges of the surface of the object. That part of the gaseous jet which strikes the edge is detected by a pressure measuring means 42b, 52, as a measurement of the position of the edge. If the position of the edge is different from its normal position a guide roller 16b, carried on a rotatable frame [illegible number] is moved across the conveying direction of the object 13, so that the object is put back in its nominal position. This regulation of the edge of the belt is especially advantageous for all the material-belt guides, for which it is important to maintain the precise position of the belt of material (Figure 2).
