Abstract: A method and apparatus for defeating copy protection signals in a video signal, and also for providing copy protection signals for a video signal, is disclosed. The defeat technique generally utilizes a particular pulse position shifting, modulation, etc., of AGC, normal sync and/or pseudo sync pulses to increase the separation between the pulses. Various embodiments are disclosed including selective shifting of the relative positions of either the sync/pseudo sync or AGC pulses, trimming portions of the sync/pseudo sync and/or the AGC pulses and narrowing of either the sync/pseudo sync and/or the AGC pulses, all to provide the selective position separation between the sync/pseudo sync and AGC pulses. The copy protection technique includes various embodiments for dynamically varying the sync/pseudo sync and AGC pulse separation by applying a modulation of the above position shifting, trimming and/or narrowing techniques over selected time periods to cycle from the copy protection condition to the copy protection defeat condition, back to the copy protection condition.

Abstract: A prewinder mandrel including an elongate shaft having a threaded lead end, a slot dividing the lead end into first and second end portions, and a pair of opposing beveled edges on the first end portion. A first drive edge is located between the first and second beveled edges, a second drive edge is located on an outer edge of the second end portion, and an inclined ramp extends along the second end portion from the leading edge towards the slot. The mandrel may part of a prewinder tool for installing helical wire inserts that includes a drive mechanism coupled to the mandrel shaft and a threaded nozzle through which the shaft extends. The shaft includes a threaded intermediate region for engaging the threaded nozzle to drive the mandrel at a predetermined pitch. The lead end is inserted into a wire insert, the shaft rotated to advance the insert over the lead end until the tang engages a first beveled edge and is seated within the slot. The lead end is directed into a tapped hole and the shaft rotated to wind the insert into the hole. The shaft is then rotated in reverse, a second beveled edge and the inclined ramp slidably disengaging the tang from the slot, and the lead end is withdrawn from the hole while leaving the insert in place.

Title: Poste de retournement destine a des nappes
Inventor: SCHEURER PAUL
IPC: B65H67/06
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production permettant de modifier le sens de déroulement de nappes (W, W1) délivrées latéralement et successivement par un poste de délivrance (1) pour former un groupe de nappes (WG) dans lequel les surfaces frontales de nappes (W) adjacentes sont séparées par une distance identique (a) et les axes longitudinaux (LA) des nappes (W) sont alignés. Pour produire une nappe (W), il est parfois nécessaire dans la pratique de placer la machine de préparation par rapport au groupe de peigneuses à utiliser de telle façon que la nappe cédée par la machine de préparation présente, dans le sens de déroulement de production, un autre sens de déroulement que celui nécessaire dans la peigneuse suivante. Ainsi, il est indispensable, de tourner les nappes (par exemple de 90 DEG  ou 180 DEG ), la division d'un groupe de nappes devant être conservé. Selon l'invention, les nappes (W) délivrées par le poste de délivrance (1) sont progressivement déplacées transversalement à son sens de délivrance, au-dessus d'une zone de réception (41, 42) d'un dispositif tournant (30). Ce dispositif permet de tourner les nappes dans un plan dans lequel se situe l'axe longitudinal (LA) de la nappe (W) et la nappe est ensuite enlevé de la zone de réception (42) dans son sens longitudinal (LA).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de remplacement oculaire fournit un corps (20) d'implant en forme de balle dont la surface (22) extérieure poreuse et sphérique reçoit une interposition du tissu oculaire et dont la partie (24) antérieure est placée vers l'avant lorsque l'implant est fixé à la cavité (12) de l'oeil de manière à générer une surface tissulaire convexe une fois recouverte de conjonctive (11). La prothèse (30) comprend une face extérieure et une surface (36) opposée intérieure concave dont la configuration est telle qu'elle épouse normalement la surface tissulaire convexe. Après sa fixation dans l'espace orbital avant de la cavité (12) oculaire, une force attractive magnétique exercée entre au moins un aimant (46) sur la surface intérieure de la prothèse et un ou plusieurs éléments (42) d'attraction par magnétisme sur la partie antérieure de l'implant accouple la prothèse (30) à l'implant (20) de sorte que la prothèse (30) suive le mouvement de l'implant de manière à simuler le mouvement de l'oeil naturel au sein de la cavité (12) de l'oeil. Les aimants sont décalés par rapport aux éléments (42) d'attraction de manière à éviter un alignement direct et un magnétisme excessif, réduisant ainsi la pression susceptible de provoquer une rupture du tissu, une infection, une déhiscence tissulaire ou une extrusion d'implant.

Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: A hydroprocessing process for removing impurities from a feed comprising a hydrocarbonaceous liquid comprises at least one cocurrent, upflow hydroprocessing reaction stage, a vapor-liquid contacting stage and a downflow hydroprocessing reaction stage. The feed and hydrogen react in the upflow stage to produce a partially hydroprocessed liquid and vapor effluent. The vapor contacts a hydrocarbonaceous liquid in the contacting stage, which transfers impurities from the vapor into the liquid. The impurity-enriched contacting liquid mixes with the upflow stage liquid effluent and the combined liquid effluents react with hydrogen in the downflow reaction stage, to form a hydroprocessed product liquid and vapor effluent. Additional product liquid is recovered by cooling and condensing either or both the contacting and downflow stage vapor effluents.

Abstract: A grinding worm (4) on a grinding spindle is driven in a rotating manner. On a rotatable plate (7), two workpiece spindles (6a, b) are positioned at a distance from one another and driven in a rotating manner. The one workpiece (5) is ground with the grinding worm (4), while on the other spindle (6b) a ground workpiece (8a) is exchanged for an unmachined part (8b) using a loader (10). Each spindle (6a, b) has a corresponding centering probe (9a, b). By means of the signal of the probe and a control mechanism, the newly clamped-on workpiece (8b) is centered before the rotating plate (7) is rotated into the position, in which this toothed gear (8b) can be brought into a mesh with the grinding worm (4). In such a way, the unproductive times can be largely reduced.

Patent HK-1033797-A1 (HK)
Title: Optical data storage
Inventor: BURROUGHS TREVOR
IPC: G11C13/04
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: A high capacity three-dimensional, optically-addressed storage device comprises multiple layers 3,4,5 from which digital data stored in any given layer can be rapidly and reliably retrieved despite the proximity of data in neighbouring layers. Interrogating radiation is projected through the device orthogonally to the layers, in a flood beam or a beam defined by an electronic mask. The interrogating beam is repeatedly refocussed to reduce retrieval errors associated with beam spreading. A given layer is selected by illumination with a selecting beam projected across the layer to interact with optically sensitive material deposited at selected digital storage locations in the layer, so as to cause that material to absorb the radiation of the interrogating beam more strongly than it does in the absence of the selecting beam.
