Abstract: An electronic blood pressure meter which measures diastolic blood pressure value is equipped with a means to extract the flat portion of the pulse wave detected in the cuff of the meter during the heart's diastolic phase; and the pressure value within the cuff at the moment when the flat portion disappears, if measured during depressurization, or when the flat portion appears for the first time, if measured during pressurization, can be considered the diastolic pressure. The flat portion is extracted from the waveform of the detected pulse wave. The cuff pressure value at the point when this flat portion vanishes (when measured during decrease of pressure) is considered the diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed are testing apparatus and methods for estimating mechanical properties of nonhomogeneous materials, such as lumber and other wood materials and composite materials, particularly elongated slender members. The testing is appropriate for estimation of tensile and bending strength, tensile and bending moduli of elasticity and possibly other mechanical properties. The testing apparatus include a test specimen support which holds the specimen during testing in a manner which minimizes attenuation of the stress wave which is intentionally generated in the specimen to help predict the mechanical properties. The specimen supports also preferably include means for weighing the specimen which is combined with size information gathered through an optical scanning system thereby allowing the density to be obtained automatically. The specimens are impacted to produce a moving stress wave which is advantageously a longitudinal stress wave which moves longitudinally through the elongated slender members being reflected within the member preferably a number of times. The amplitude of the moving reflected stress wave is sensing with respect to time to allow the velocity and attenuation rate of the stress wave to be determined. The information is preferably communicated to a computer which automatically processes the sensed information and compares it to preprogrammed parameters which allow the accurate estimation of one or more of the predictable mechanical properties. The tested specimens are advantageously sorted according to the mechanical properties or appropriately marked to indicate the grade, strength or other appropriate measure of value of the specimen.

Abstract: A method for constructing a double fleece knit fabric using a circular knitting machine is disclosed. Lay-in, tie-in and knit-in yarns (57, 58 and 59) are fed at respective first, second and third yarn feeders (60, 61 and 62) to the needle. The lay-in and tie-in yarns (57, 58) are caught by the outward, oblique and upward recession of the sinker. The knit-in yarn (59) is fed to the needle (2) and when received onto the upper edge (8g) of the second nose (8e) is drawn down onto the upper edge (8f) of the first nose (8d) of the sinker (8) when the needle (2) is lowered. The needle (2) is lowered to a stitch loop forming position while the sinker (8) is receded from the innermost lower position to the outermost upward position so that the knit-in yarn (59) falls onto the stitch forming ledge (8a) and the respective lengths of the tie-in yarn (58) and knit-in yarn (59) in the needle hook are drawn downward with the older tie-in and knit-in loops being cleared from the needle (2) so as to form a new tie-in loop and knit-in loop over the stitch forming ledge (8a).

Abstract: Target tracking capability is provided by a synergistic tracker system (5) which includes both a correlation tracker (30) and an object tracker (40) for processing sensor data input (10) and for generating tracking error signals (80). The operation of the synergistic tracker system is controlled by central processing unit (70). The system operates by first correlating a reference region image with a portion of a current digitized image provided by analog to digital converter (20). Secondly, the object tracker provides a precisely defined trackpoint for an object within the current image. The correlation tracker stabilizes and limits the portion of the digitized image that the object tracker must operate upon. Stabilizing and limiting this portion of the digitized image reduces the object tracker's sensitivity to background clutter and sensitivity to a loss of lock induced by sensor motion. The object tracker provides a non-recursive update for the correlation's reference region image. The correlation tracker and the object tracker are used simultaneously and cooperatively so that the strengths of a one tracker are used to overcome the weaknesses of the other. The invention achieves a greater tracking tenacity, a reduction in tracker angle noise, and a reduction in hardware complexity.

Abstract: In an analog-to-digital converter, one-bit A/D conversion stages are connected in series to receive an analog signal. Each conversion stage includes a sample-and-hold circuit for sampling an analog signal from a preceding stage, a comparator for comparing it with a specified voltage level to produce a logic signal at one of two discrete levels depending on whether the signal received from the preceding stage is higher or lower than the specified level. The signal received from the preceding stage is summed with a prescribed reference voltage of one of opposite polarities depending on the level of the logic signal to produce an analog output signal. The successive conversion stages are driven so that the analog signal from each stage is transferred to the next, and the logic signals generated by the individual conversion stages are delayed so that they appear simultaneously at digital output terminals.
