Patent EP-0838048-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KELLY RONALD W
IPC: G05B9/02
Filed: 1996-07-04
Abstract: The sensor fault detector is one in which each sensor signal is compared with a reference signal provided by e.g. a model of the system being monitored. Prior art sensor fault detectors subtract the output of the sensor and the corresponding reference signal from each other, and a fault is declared when the residual difference exceeds a prescribed threshold. However, modelling errors (such as scaling discrepancies), d.c bias and noise mean that faults are often wrongly declared, or alternatively that only large faults can be detected. These problems are overcome according to the invention by comparing the 'shape' of the sensor signal with that of the corresponding reference signal (i.e. comparing the signal outlines) over a finite time window, using e.g. correlation techniques. A fault is declared when the shapes differ by a prescribed amount.

Patent EP-0858611-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NICHOLSON JAMES E
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1996-08-02
Abstract: A selectable field of view device is disclosed which is capable of expanding the relatively narrow field of view of a camera to nearly spherical proportions. The device includes a pair of signal diverters, such as mirrors in the case of light signals, each mirror's reflective surface being parallel to the other's reflective surface, and each mirror being independently rotatable about an X-axis and a Y-axis respectively. Each axis passes through a central portion of its respective mirror with the Y-axis intersecting the X-axis and the X-axis being relatively centered within the field of view of the sensor. The mirrors may be driven by one or more motors. When one motor is used, a brake and idler arrangement provides for rotation of one mirror while the other mirror remains stationary relative to its respective axis. In addition, when one motor is used, the sensor is rotated by the motor via a drive belt such that the sensor rotates the same amount as does the mirror being rotated.

Abstract: A flexible and collapsible bulk bag having an upright orientation in use with top and
bottom end access openings to the exterior of the bag through which a flexible and collapsible liner
is received in the bag, the liner also having top and bottom access openings through which the bulk
contents are respectively entered and discharged. When the bag is expanded and filled it has a pair
of spaced apart and generally conical ends formed by four triangular portions interconnected by four
generally rectangular side walls, with the ends convergently tapering toward their associated access
opening. The bag when empty can be collapsed into a compact, flat configuration having a pair of
overlying front and rear panels with a pair of folded gusseted side panels received therebetween. A
pair of laterally spaced apart U-shaped hanger straps at the top end of the bag together flank the bag
and liner top openings and each comprise a two-ply front extension and a two-ply rear extension with
mutually overlapped portions permanently interconnected to thereby form a four-ply thickness where
these hanger strap extensions mutually overlap. A strap reinforcement saddle includes U-shaped end
straps sewn over the bag hanger straps along inner edges thereof and extending down to the bag front
and rear bag panels. The bag bottom end opening has four flaps, and a cooperative reinforcement
girdle has a horizontal strap belt encircling the bottom end triangular portions of the bag and is affixed
thereto. The girdle also has four belt loops each connected to the strap belt and extending
downwardly past the lower end of the associated flap and then upwardly along the interior side of the
flap back to the belt. A tie cord is strung serially through the belt loops and is operable upon
tightening to draw them together to thereby close them across the bag bottom discharge opening.
The bag, liner, associated fill and discharge spouts and girdle are all constructed of flexible material
and are respectively compressible together. Alternatively the liner has a rigid discharge outlet spout 
and a protective exterior flap spans beneath the spout outlet closure to serve as an openable, flexible
protective barrier for the same. When the bag is full and ready to be discharged, the bag and liner are
suspended vertically by hoisting from the bag hanger straps. A pair of squeeze nip rollers may then
be applied across the front and rear panels and then pulled downwardly therealong to thereby squeeze
any remaining contents out the liner discharge opening. When the discharge outlets of the liner and
bag are made of flexible and compressible material, the nip roller squeegee stroke continues
therealong the material of these outlets to also empty any contents remaining therein.
