Patent DE-19636318-A1 (DE)
Title: Skin-perforating obturator tip
Inventor: KNIGGE MATHIAS
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1996-08-29
Abstract: Flanks of a thread (13) mounted on the obturator tip are obtuse but those at the distal end of the obturator are sharp. The flank height varies along the tip area notably diminishing from distal to proximal end. The flank pitch also varies over the tip length and the tip itself should be exponentially tapered. Otherwise the tip of the obturator is ground and the body of the perforator comes in two parts notably the casing forming the top and carrying the thread (13) and the core whose distal end forms that of the perforator. In this case, a locking device prevents the core sliding within the casing and when used for drainage etc. of the abdominal wall the obturator is designed as a sleeve containing the guided perforator. The body of the perforator (10) is held in a trocar sleeve so that once an incision has been made in the topmost skin layer the tip (14) is placed on the outermost fascia and advanced until the first turn of thread has reached this after which the obturator is twisted forward through the abdominal wall until at maximum diameter (D) it becomes possible to guide the sleeve through the wall to a firm hold whereupon the obturator is withdrawn.

Patent DE-19641215-A1 (DE)
Title: Gravitation device for generating gravitational force - gravitation tube, gravitational meter, gravitation converter
Inventor: GREGOR MANFRED A
IPC: G01V7/12
Filed: 1996-09-26
Abstract: The device has a highly flexible suspension, e.g. a flexible, thin suspension fibre supporting from the top of the device a mass which is free to move on all sides and is isolated and screened from external disturbing forces. Consequently only the interacting forces between the masses in the surrounding area and the mass in the device have any effect. Depending on the design and form of the arrangement these forces set the latter mass into a specific movement which is maintained so long as the arrangement of the surrounding masses maintains its position relative to the suspended mass. In this way the natural energy difference present in the gravitational field and transfer force between unequal mean constant gravitation levels is converted into technically usable forms of energy of the suspended mass, such as constant rotary energy, movement energy, etc., preferably for use with the arrangements in the following claims

Patent DE-19648322-A1 (DE)
Title: Universal marine solar-powered desalination plant based on solar collection deck
IPC: B63J1/00
Filed: 1996-11-22
Abstract: A floating dock has a desalination plant for seawater and operates under natural control. Sea water is evaporated in a through-flow system, in accordance with sunlight received. Distilled water product is cooled and condensed in a coarse filter of mixed gravel (4), simultaneously enriching its mineral content, simulating subterranean groundwater filtration. Pollutant- free drinking water produced is good for pleasurable use on all the high seas of the world, benefiting body and soul. In the new design a special solar collection plant takes in sea water at the inlet (24). It flows through, between a floor and deck plate, separated by spacers or pressings. Vapour formed, leaves via nozzles leading to the vapour collector and the bottom stabiliser (2), to condense. The excess sea water is returned to the sea. The plant serves both ships and the land. Adequately sized solar cells (9) and batteries (5) provide current for pumps (15), water distribution, blower (3) and navigational lights (8). The plant may be marketed as an efficient service water recycling plant. Water is also pumped to the interior of the land mass, as artificial rain, supplying aquifers and plant needs in dry intervals.

Patent DE-19727874-A1 (DE)
Title: Pre-assembled clutch withdrawal mechanism for vehicle
Inventor: HUSSE ULRICH DIPL ING
IPC: F16D23/12
Filed: 1997-06-30
Abstract: The mechanism (1) includes a guide tube (119) having two diametrically opposed outwardly projecting noses (175) which, during pre-assembling, slide through longitudinal grooves (177) in a bearing carrier (123). the bearing carrier is rotated relative to the guide tube so that the noses enter radial recesses (179), in a manner of a bayonet connection, thus holding the tube and carrier together as a unit that also includes a lever (121) that is trapped between a pair of flanges (127,163). When the unit is assembled on a bell housing, the lever is urged by a spring in a slave cylinder against the flange (163). The housing and unit are then attached to an engine, and a clutch diaphragm spring forces the carrier towards the flange, thus allowing the carrier to move to its full axial stroke range for actuating a clutch.

Patent DE-19733890-A1 (DE)
Title: Optical interferometry method for measuring objects
Inventor: HARUNA MASAMITSU
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1997-08-05
Abstract: The method process uses a split beam. One part-beam passes straight to a convergence lens (3) held in a drive device (8) and to the object being measured (4), mounted in another drive (5). The other is directed at right angles to a mirror (6) in a third drive (7) where it is phase-modulated to reflect a reference signal. The reflected signal beam from the object is conducted back to a receiver (10) for comparison and conversion to a digital signal for processing in a PC (13). The phase refraction or double refraction and the thickness of the object can be measured simultaneously, as can phase and group refraction. In one process the convergence lens is held stationary while object and reference mirror are shifted on the optical axis. In the other the object is stationary and lens and mirror are moved. The drives (5,7,8) are moved by a stage controller (14) acting on the PC signal.

Patent DE-19744134-A1 (DE)
Inventor: OHM JENS DR ING
IPC: G06T7/238
Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: During digital video signal processing, the knowledge of position and time modifications in the recorded scene is utilized for data compression and format conversion. In general, expensive computer circuits are necessary for conducting high-precision estimation of motion. The inventive hybrid method comprises simple measures which can be clearly executed and provide a low-cost high-precision estimation of motion. According to the invention, a block vector BV is generated in a number of steps for each block. To begin with, a first modified block matching occurs in order to select a start vector SV from a number of vector candidates VCi. The start vector SV is then refreshed by pixel recursion and used as an additional start vector VCi+1. Finally, a block matching resulting from coordinating the first and second steps in a third step produces the final block vector BV. The block vectors BV are read out for a successive generating of a dense motion vector field and for new vector candidates VCi which are to be intermediately stored.

Patent DE-19749136-A1 (DE)
Inventor: BEIS UWE
IPC: G08B13/194
Filed: 1997-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting motion in a scene, characterised by the following steps: (a) determining two chromatic values (H1, H2) of a scene point by measuring the brightness (H1i, H2i) of the point in at least n different spectral regions at two different times, where n is an integer number >/=2, (b) determining a first and a second vector (h1, h2) in an n'-dimensional vector space, for the two chromatic values, by means of measured brightness values (H1i, H2i), where 2</=n'</=n, (c) determining the distance of the end point of the second vector (h2) to a straight line defined by the first vector (h1), and (d) deciding that motion occurred when the distance exceeds a predetermined threshold value ( epsilon ). The invention also relates to a device for implementing such a method. Considering that the brightness values are taken into account and related to different spectral regions, the existence of motion in the scene can be evaluated more safely than when the overall scene brightness is observed in visible light.
