Abstract: In a rolling mill, data representing the axial distance of the center of each
groove of a work roll from a first reference location on the work roll is determined and
stored in the memory of a data processing system The work rolls are then mounted
in the roll stand and the grooves of a selected "setup" roll pass are brought into
alignment with each other. The roll stand is then placed on the rolling line, the setup
pass is aligned with the mill passline in the case of vertical stands, or with the mill
center line in the case of horizontal roll stands, and data representing the relative
positions of the work rolls to the roll stand and of the roll stand to another reference
location is obtained and stored in the memory of the data processing system. Using
this data, the system then calculates and automatically effects adjustments to the roll
stand and work rolls in order to precisely align other roll passes with the mill passline
or center line.

Abstract: Diaminoalkyl quaternary ammonium salts are prepared
by the reaction of alkyl halides with tertiary diamines having C 2-20 
primary alkyl radicals attached to nitrogen and an alkyl radical
between the two nitrogen atoms in which at least three carbon atoms
separate said nitrogen atoms. Said salts are preferably substantially
free from corresponding diamines. They are useful as catalysts for
interfacial polycarbonate preparation by the reaction of phosgene with
at least one dihydroxyaromatic compound. Polycarbonate
preparation using such catalysts is economical in phosgene
consumption, is accompanied by a rapid conversion of chloroformate
groups to desirable species and affords a product with a very low
proportion of unreacted dihydroxyaromatic compound.

Abstract: When detecting altitudes for a navigation system, the
situation may arise where it is determined that an altitude

(Hp(n-1), Hp(n-2)).

Abstract: A virtual circuit whose path across a network is specified by a human
operator (hereinafter operator directed route or ODR VC) is established by manually
provisioning a preferred path for the connection, including a source node, destination
node, and intermediate nodes or subnetworks therebetween. The source node
creates a call setup message which is signalled along the preferred path, whereby
the intermediate nodes along the preferred path establish the bearer channel cross-connects.
The operator also specifies a re-routing scheme for the ODR VC in the
event the preferred path is blocked or a link subsequently fails. The re-routing
scheme includes one of (a) the preferred path only; (b) at least one manually
provisioned alternate path; and (c) any available path. The ODR VC provides the
benefit of a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) in terms of the ability to consciously route
a connection with the benefit of a soft permanent virtual circuit (SPVC) or switched
virtual circuit (SVC) in terms of the capability to efficiently re-route connections by
the network as opposed to a central management authority.

Abstract: In a method for detecting changes in a scene by detecting the
differences between first and second images of the scene taken at different times
the first and second images are registered and a distance value d representing the
average displacement, in pixels, between the two images after registration is
determined. A pixel in the first image (x 0 , y 0 ) and a corresponding pixel (x 1 , y 1 ) at
the same location in the second image (x 0  = x 1  and y 0  = y 1 ) are defined. For each
pixel (x 0 ,y 0 ) in the first image, a search through each of the pixels in a
neighborhood of the second image, (x 1  + Δx, y 1  + Δy), where Δx = 0,±1,..., ±d
and Δy =0, ±1,..., ±d is conducted to find the pixel that is closest in value to the
value of pixel (x 0 , y 0 ) by taking the absolute value of the difference between the
value of the pixel at (x 0 , y 0 ) and the value of each of the pixels, (x 1  + Δx, y 1  + Δy),
from the second image and taking the minimum of these differences to be a first
difference pixel value. For each pixel, (x 1 , y 1 ) in the second image, a search
through each of the pixels in the first image, (x 0  + Δx, y 0  + Δy), where Δx = 0, ±1,
..., ±d and Δy =0, ±1,..., ±d, is conducted to find the pixel that is closest in value
to the pixel at (x 1 , y 1 ) by taking the absolute value of the difference between the
value of the pixel at (x 1 , y 1 ) and the value of each of the pixels, (x 0  + Δx, y 0  + Δy),
from the first image and taking the minimum of these differences to be a second
difference pixel value. For each pixel location, the maximum of the first and
second difference pixel values is taken to obtain a difference image representing
the changes in the scene.

Abstract: In a printer where rollers in a feeding section
ensure the accuracy of sheet feeding, recording by the
interlace method generally causes a non-printable area
on the lower end of a printing medium, in which an image
can not be recorded. In an ink jet printer (22) of the
present invention, the interlace method is applied to
record an image in a first area where the rollers (25a,
27a) in the feeding section ensure the accuracy of sheet
feeding, in order to attain the high picture quality. A
printable area where an image can be recorded is
extended to a second area, where rollers (25a, 27a) in a
delivering section are used to carry out the sheet
feeding of relatively low accuracy after the lower end
of the printing medium (P) comes off the rollers (25a)
in the feeding section. The second are does not
directly adjoin to the first area, but there is a middle
area that adjoins to both the first area and the second
area and enables image recording with sufficient
accuracy of sheet feeding. The intermediate processing
in the middle area with smaller amounts of sub-scan than
the amounts of sub-scan in the first area effectively
extends the high-quality image recording area that
ensures recording of the image with the high quality
equivalent to that in the first area.
