Patent EP-2799906-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MASE MITSUHITO
IPC: G01S7/4861
Filed: 2012-08-21
Abstract: In a distance measurement device of an embodiment, a light source emits modulation light in a first charge transfer cycle, and emission of the modulation light of the light source is stopped in a second charge transfer cycle. In each of the first and second charge transfer cycles, the charges generated in a photosensitive region are distributed to a first accumulation region and a second accumulation region. A first value is obtained by subtracting, from a value of twice a first readout value corresponding to the amount of accumulated charges of the first accumulation region immediately after the first charge transfer cycle, a first readout value corresponding to an amount of accumulated charges of the first accumulation region immediately after a second charge transfer cycle which is immediately before the first charge transfer cycle and a readout value corresponding to an amount of accumulated charges immediately after a next second charge transfer cycle of the first charge transfer cycle. A second value is obtained by performing a similar process on the second accumulation region. A distance is calculated based on the first value and the second value.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sheet sorting/conveying apparatus includes a conveying unit (25, 29, 35, 36), a sorting lever (38), a guide roller (31), and a positioning unit (30). The conveying unit pinches and conveys a sheet. The sorting lever guides the sheet pinched and conveyed by the conveying unit, in a first conveying direction or a second conveying direction different from the first conveying direction. The guide roller is opposed to the sorting lever and configured to guide the sheet being conveyed. The positioning unit applies a force elastically to the guide roller, thereby to set the guide roller at a prescribed position. The guide roller retreats from the prescribed position against the force applied by the positioning unit, upon receiving a force from the sheet being pinched and conveyed by the conveying unit.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an occupancy model are disclosed. The model is learned using occupancy data for zones (12), each zone including cells (14), which are occupied or not at a given time, each with a sensor (16,18), which may be reporting or not. The data provides an observed occupancy corresponding to a number of cells (14) in the respective zone (12) which have reporting sensors (16), and the number of those sensors which are reporting that the respective cell is occupied. The occupancy model is based on a demand model and a sensor noise model which accounts for behavior of the non-reporting sensors. The noise model assumes that the probability of a sensor being in the reporting state is dependent on whether the respective cell is occupied or not. The model can fit the occupancy data better than one which assumes that non-reporting cells are occupied with the same frequency as reporting ones.

Abstract: A feedwell (12, 400, 500, 503) for a clarifier comprises: at least one inlet pipe (11, 410, 510) configured to introduce a slurry into an upper zone (415, 515) of the feedwell (12, 400, 500); a transition zone (460, 650) disposed below the upper zone (415, 515); and one or more plates (440, 540, 541, 542, 543) disposed proximate to an inner feedwell wall (420, 520) and a shaft (470, 570, 573) at a bottom of the transition zone (460, 650). The new feedwell design may better dissipate the entrance energy of the slurry-liquid combination exiting the feedwell (12, 400, 500) and entering the clarifier. Plates (440, 540) of various shapes may be provided proximate to the bottom of the feedwell (12, 400, 500). The plates (440) may cause a change in the flow direction of the feed, from mostly horizontal to mostly vertical, to slow the slurry. The provision of plates (440, 540) at the bottom of a feedwell (12, 400, 500) in a clarifier may advantageously reduce the velocity of the materials entering the clarifier, or may increase the uniformity of the flow rate of the materials; while reducing or maintaining the amount of shear force, turbulence, or other forces that may have a detrimental effect on clarification. This may, in turn, permit solids to better "settle out" of the slurry-liquid combination, and thus improve the clarity of the removed liquid.
