Patent CA-2732522-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOTT RICHARD B
IPC: G01T1/36
Filed: 2009-07-28
Abstract: A method of detecting a pileup in an energy-dispersive radiation spectrometry system, wherein a filter of the system generates a first pulse in response to a preamplifier signal, and wherein the system has one or more fast channels having an energy of full efficiency wherein substantially all photons received having at least the full efficiency energy are detected. The method includes measuring an above threshold time duration of the filter, determining that the fast channels have not made any detections while the first pulse is above the minimum detectable threshold energy of the filter, in response thereto, declaring a pileup if the above threshold time duration exceeds a longest expected pulse duration that is a duration of a second pulse that would be output by the filter in response to a single photon having an energy equal to the energy of full efficiency being received by the system.

Abstract: A platform system includes a platform frame having a header defining a first channel. Decking is mounted to the platform frame. A post is attached to a mounting member, which defines a second channel. The mounting member and the header form an interlock coupling where a portion of the mounting member resides in the first channel and a portion of the header resides in the second channel. A locking pin is positioned within a recess that is partially defined by the header and that is partially defined by the mounting member to limit movement of the mounting member relative to the header.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) for drinking water purification, having a water tank (4) for receiving the drinking water (6) to be purified, a pump (8) for transporting the water, and a membrane filter unit (10) which comprises a water inlet (12), a membrane filter (14), a pure water discharge (16), and a rinsing water discharge (18). The water inlet (12) is supplied with water directly or indirectly from the water tank (4) via a feed line (24), and is disposed in the flow direction (19) in front of the membrane filter (14). The pure water discharge (16) is disposed in the flow direction (19) behind the membrane filter (14). To remove deposits, part of the water fed to the membrane filter unit (10) via the water inlet (12) is guided across the membrane filter surface and exits the membrane filter unit (10) via the rinsing water discharge (18). In order to increase user friendliness, a water return line (26) connects the rinsing water discharge (18) to the water tank (4). Furthermore, the water tank (4) can be removed from the device (2) and filled with drinking water.

Abstract: A wideband circularly polarized L-shaped monopole slot antenna has a single C-shaped feed. The measured results demonstrate that the antenna has 23% of circular polarization bandwidth (Axial Ratio < 3 dB and Return Loss <-10 dB). The monopole slot antenna occupies a half area on the corner of circuit board compared to half-wavelength slot antenna that requires the area at the center of the board. This feature is attractive for compact wireless devices operate at low frequencies in which circuit board floor planning and signal routing are major concerns.  The antenna is extremely low cost and does not require any truncation corner, reflector surface and via connection which increase the fabrication cost.

Abstract: A work machine handle device having a foldable handle is disclosed. As the handle is to be changed from a folded-up state to a use state, the handle is turned about a frame as a turning fulcrum. An actuating protuberance provided integrally to a turning member of a clamp body is pushed by a handle engaging/disengaging part provided to a front end of the handle, and the turning member is caused to turn. The handle engaging/disengaging part is held from either side and automatically restrained by a clamp mechanism. When the handle is changed from the use state to the folded-up state, a restraining mechanism is operated to release the engagement between the restraining mechanism and a distal end of the turning member. The turning member is turned by a return force of a spring provided to the clamp body, the handle engaging/disengaging part ceases to be restrained, and the handle can be folded up.

Title: Evaporative pattern, method of forming an evaporative pattern, and method of forming a metal mold by using an evaporative pattern
Inventor: SUETA Hirotake
IPC: B22C9/04
Filed: 2011-01-28
Abstract: A lightweight metal mold having a necessary rigidity is realized. Firstly, an original pattern of an evaporative pattern is formed by machining an evaporative material block. The original pattern includes a three-dimensional mesh structure including a plurality of bar-shaped parts and connecting points that connect ends of the bar-shaped parts and are distributed in a three-dimensional space, and a plurality of block parts having fixed relative positional relationship by being fixed to the three-dimensional mesh structure. Then, at least a portion of at least one or more of the bar-shaped parts composing the original pattern is removed, and replaced with a tube member. Then, a full-mold casting is performed by using the evaporative pattern having the replaced tube member. Positional relationship of the block parts in which surfaces, etc. necessary for the metal mold are formed is fixed by the three-dimensional mesh structure, and the necessary rigidity is secured. The metal mold is made lighter by using the three-dimensional mesh structure. Due to the replacement with the tube member, an amount of gas generated upon the full-mold casting is suppressed, and a decrease in casting quality is prevented.

Title: Clustering videos by location
Inventor: BAKER SIMON J
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2010-04-01
Abstract: Described is a technology in which video shots are clustered based upon the location at which the shots were cap-tured.  A global energy function is optimized, including a first term that computes clusters so as to be reasonably dense and well connected, to match the possible shots that are captured at a location, e.g., based on similarity scores between pairs of shots. A  second term is a temporal prior that encourages subsequent shots to be placed in the same cluster. The shots may be represented as nodes of a minimum spanning tree having edges with weights that are based on the similarity score between the shots represented by their respective nodes. Agglomerative clustering is performed by selecting pairs of available clusters, merging the pairs and keeping the pair with the lowest cost. Clusters are iteratively merged until a stopping criterion or criteria is met (e.g., only a single cluster remains).
