Title: Apparatus for detecting anomalies within a monitored volume
Inventor: GREENE DAVID ALAN
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: A system for mapping absolute acoustic noise intensity in a three-dimensional acoustic noise field, and using three-dimensional absolute noise intensities to infer operational or performance characteristics of components or structures within the monitored field. Localized noise sources are extracted using a distant array of transducers, and the absolute intensity can be measured even when totally masked by background noise at the transducer locations. The system includes an integrated sensor installation; a neural network detection system algorithm; a zoom system to precisely examine a small region in the steam generator vessel; a fuzzy logic system detection algorithm; and an expert detection system. The signal processing subsystem operates at three different levels of detection. At the top level of detection a trained neural network system monitors the vessel length for any indication of a leak. The proposed approach uses discriminators which do not require any beam-forming of the sensor signals. The presence of a leak and its general location in the vessel is determined using a fuzzy logic expert system. The leak indications are passed to a second level of detection: a beam-formed system which will monitor the indicated portion of the vessel. A third level of detection systematically monitors the tagged locations to determine if a leak is really present, remaining on the specific locations to detect a leak above the defined threshold to a high degree of accuracy. The actions to be taken will be controlled by a second fuzzy logic expert interface controller.

Abstract: The suction device includes a float (13) set in the collecting container and operating a switch in dependence on height. The float is connected to a first magnet (15) directly or indirectly so that a rise and fall movement of the float causes the magnet to move along a displacement path. A second magnet (10) of like pole is associated with the first magnet and is displaceable in the direction of the displacement path of the first magnet. This second magnet is connected directly or indirectly to an operating member (8) of the switch (5). The two magnets are mounted either side of a wall of the container. The switch operating member (8) is preferably a swivel lever supporting the second magnet at its free end.

Abstract: The switching threshold of photochromic material (1) lies outside or in the boundary region of the visible part of the spectrum. The photochromic material is coated with an influencing material (2) so that the switching threshold of the coated material forming the film (3,3') is shifted towards longer wavelengths compared to the uncoated material. The photochromic material can be tungsten oxide. The photochromic material can be amorphous and has a charge carrier transport connection to the influencing material. The influencing material has a smaller band gap between the electronic valence and the electronic conducting bands than the photochromic material. A potential barrier is smaller than a band gap difference.

Abstract: A process for preparing a molten silicon melt from polycrystalline silicon for use in producing single crystal silicon by the Czochralski method is disclosed. Granular and chunk polycrystalline silicon are loaded into a Czochralski crucible as a mixed charge. Preferably, the granular polycrystalline silicon is loaded onto the bottom, mounded toward the centerline of the crucible, and not contacting the upper portion of the wall of the crucible. The chunk polycrystalline silicon is loaded onto the granular polycrystalline silicon. The granular polycrystalline silicon and chunk polycrystalline silicon are melted to form a silicon melt, preferably by heating the polycrystalline silicon from the bottom up such that a substantial portion of the granular polycrystalline silicon is melted before a substantial portion of the chunk polycrystalline silicon is melted. As the melting progresses, the chunk polycrystalline silicon exerts a downward force on the granular polycrystalline silicon to keep the latter in the relatively hotter bottom region of the crucible. If the polycrystalline silicon is exposed to a purge gas, the chunk polycrystalline silicon thermally shields the granular polycrystalline silicon from the cooling effects of the purge gas.

Abstract: In a closed crankcase ventilation system, crankcase gases are allowed to flow through a venturi (10) which includes high pressure and low pressure taps (24 and 28). The high and low pressure taps (24) and (28) are coupled to a differential pressure transducer (30) which produces an output that is proportional to the volumetric flow of crankcase gases through the venturi (10). The use of a venturi (10) in conjunction with a differential pressure sensor (30) offers a low resistance path for the flow of crankcase gases and allows continuous monitoring of blow-by without exceeding the operating pressure limitations of various oil seals. Such a sensor (30) is particularly suited for closed crankcase ventilation (ccv) systems, as it doesn't require venting of crankcase gases to the atmosphere, but works well in open crankcase ventilation systems also.

Abstract: Vinyl phenol polymers are useful materials having many
applications. Vinyl phenol polymers possessing an appropriate
molecular weight corresponding to each of the applications are
desired. However, it is very difficult to control the
molecular weight of vinyl phenol polymers, because vinyl
phenol monomer exhibits a very high reaction rate in the
presence of a radical initiator, and it is very difficult to
obtain vinyl phenol polymers having molecular weight of from
several thousands to one hundred and several tens of
thousands. Further, vinyl phenol monomer is very difficult to
store, because it is rapidly polymerize even at room
temperature. A simple process for preparing vinyl phenol
polymers having the molecular weight range mentioned above by
simply adding methanol to the polymerization system is
disclosed. A stabilized composition of vinyl phenol suitable
for use to prepare vinyl phenol polymers, comprising vinyl
phenol-containing polymerization raw material and methanol as
the indispensable constituents is also disclosed.

spring biases the arms such that the reservoir body is referenced to the
bottom of the fuel tank from the flange of the module. A pressure
regulator may be provided within the housing for returning excess fuel
to the reservoir. A mounting cup includes a pocket for receiving a pin

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for establishing voice band telecommunications connections using a cross connect/switching system (CCSS) for establishing all or part of the connection setments required for individual calls. The CCSS contains bundles of provisioned paths and also has facilities for establishing individual per call paths which do not use these bundles. When a call is received, the CCSS switches the call through a combination of provisioned and unprovisioned paths. In the preferred embodiment, the CCSS is an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch enhanced with converters to communicate with pulse code modulation (PCM) facilities for communicating with other switches and with associated PCM switches. Terminal adapters are provided in either the CCSS or the associated switches or both for processing voice signals to perform functions such as echo cancellation or speech quality enhancement. Advantageously, such a switch can support a very large node that carries extensive wideband and broadband signal traffic as well as the voice band traffic.

remainder of the plant material. The threshing arrangements include one or more
threshing apparatuses (352, 353). The threshing apparatuses (352, 353) function to
open the pods of a leguminous plant by compressing the pods between two or more
threshing surfaces which exert sufficient pressure on the plant material to open the
pods. The threshing surfaces can also move at different speeds to cause additional
compression and shear affect on the pods to enhance pod opening.
