Abstract: The invention relates to friction pairings of machine elements. The friction element of a friction pairing contains a matrix (1), the friction face of which is armoured with a covering in the form of a multiplicity of particles (2) of wear-resistant material with a developed surface. The particles (2) are fixed in the body of the matrix (1) in such a way that they project partially above its surface to form contours (2') of a microrelief and lie at least on one of the concentric circular lines whose centre coincides with the centre of rotation of the friction element. The contours of the microrelief are formed by the particles (2) in such a way that they form a variable area of the friction surface, which decreases from the zone of maximum stresses in the friction element to the zone of minimum stresses therein. Distributed between the particles of wear-resistant material are particles (3, 4) of anti-corrosion material and abrasive material. Armouring is carried out in accordance with any known method, thus, for example, by spark doping or plasma spraying. The invention can be employed, for example, for the brake disc or brake drum of a motor car and for the clutch disc. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Label universel destiné à un système d'identification électromagnétique et système d'identification électromagnétique dans lequel la mémoire du label est du type EEprom et contient une pluralité de blocs de mémorisation de données. En plus des blocs nécessaires à la mémorisation des données, elle contient un bloc tampon supplémentaire et deux tables dont une seule d'entre elles est constamment valide. La table valide contient des informations concernant les blocs valides pouvant être affichés. Un élément de mémoire supplémentaire indique laquelle des deux tables est valide. On ne peut enregistrer de nouvelles données qu'à deux adresses: soit dans le bloc tampon supplémentaire désigné dans cette intention, dont le numéro de bloc est indiqué dans le bloc valide, l'accès au bloc tampon désigné étant obtenu indirectement par l'intermédiaire du bloc valide, soit dans le bloc invalide afin de ne perdre aucune information à cause d'opérations d'enregistrement incorrectes ou de la suppression du label d'identification de l'adresse de programmation. La validité des deux tables s'inverse seulement après vérification et correction éventuelle des données enregistrées. Les nouvelles données deviennent alors valides sans que les anciennes données ne soient perdues ou détériorées afin de pouvoir les récupérer ou en conserver la validité si la mise en circuit échoue.

Abstract: An artificial implant includes an elongated stem member which is intended for cementless fixation in the medullary canal of a long bone. The stem member is provided with one or more longitudinally extending channels. A porous medium for enabling and encouraging bone ingrowth fixation is bonded to the bottom surface of each channel but is free of the sidewalls of the channel. It has a first outer surface lying in a plane generally parallel to that of the external surface of the stem member and second and third surfaces lying generally, respectively, in angularly spaced radial planes containing the longitudinal axis of the stem member. The resulting implant has a flexibility which can be tailored to that of the bone. Also, the porous medium enables an initial interference fit with the medullary canal of the long bone as well as bone ingrowth fixation over a substantially enlarged surface area than previously possible. Also, notching the high stress region on the external surface of the stem member as previously caused by application of the porous medium to the outermost, external, surface of the stem member is avoided.

Title: Automated method for digital image quantitation
Inventor: GEISER EDWARD A
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 1991-06-11
Abstract: A method for quantitatively analyzing digital images of approximately elliptical body organs, and in particular, echocardiographic images. The invention automatically determines the center-point of an elliptical organ and search region for border discrimination by finding the maximum value produced by a series of circular arc filters applied to the image data. The positions of the organ border (10, 11, 12, 13) are then approximated by generating histograms along each of a number of circular segments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) based on the center-point. The approximated borders are then compared on a best-fit basis to a set of paired elliptical arcs used to model the borders. The image may then be displayed with the modeled border superimposed on the image. A flattened interventricular septum and signal loss across the septum are also determined for echocardiographic images. Cross-correlation is used on histograms generated for selected sectors of image data frames taken at different times to detect organ wall motion in each of the different sectors.

Abstract: A non-contact copy control device for profile working on a work while following the contour of a model in non-contact therewith. Coordinate values of a plurality of points on the surface of the model are obtained from values measured by two non-contact distance detectors (1a, 1b) provided on a tracer head of a copying machine tool (3) at the times of a plurality of samplings. The non-contact copy control device (1) selects three points arranged in a shape closest to a regular triangle out of the aforesaid points. A normal vector is determined by use of coordinate values of said three vertices, and a command (SC) for rotating the tracer head (4) in a direction of projecting this normal vector onto an X-Y plane is issued. This command (SC) passes through a D/A converter (17c), is amplified in an amplifier (18c), and drives a motor (32c) to rotate the tracer head (4). Measuring axes of the non-contact distance detectors (5a,5b) are directed in a most possible perpendicular direction to the surface of the model, so that the distance measuring with high accuracy can be performed.
