Title: Computers for use in sampling procedures
Inventor: FISHER DAVID JOHN
IPC: G07C15/00
Filed: 1982-02-02
Abstract: The computer comprises a memory into which is entered tables of data identifying a sample code by batch size and inspection level, and a file table of data representing a sampling plan identifying sample size and acceptance and rejection parameters by the sample code and an acceptable quality level. The sample code is identified by the batch size and a predetermined inspection level. Data are entered representing a predetermined acceptable quality level and the identified sample code is used to identify the corresponding sample size and acceptance and rejection parameters. A visual display responds to the identified sample size to display this sample size. In response to the identified acceptance and rejection parameters a value is stored which is a function of such parameters. Sample data are entered representing the acceptance and rejection of each sample article tested and the entered sample data are compared with the derived and stored value to signal batch acceptance or batch rejection. <IMAGE>

Title: Pulse gated system for x-ray generation and image acquisition
Inventor: BRODY WILLIAM R
IPC: H05G1/62
Filed: 1982-10-07
Abstract: An improvement in an x-ray apparatus used to obtain diagnostic x-ray images is described. The improvement includes a monitoring means, 10, for monitoring a physiological process such as cardiac or respiratory cycles. A signal generating means, 12, is used to generate signals in response to the monitored physiological process. Signals from the signal generating means are coupled to a control means, 14, which in turn controls the generation of x-rays within the x-ray apparatus. In this manner x-ray images are only acquired for pre-determined events in the physiological process. Fewer images are acquired thus reducing the patient's exposure to x-rays and reducing the processing and storage requirements. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2172133-A (GB)
Title: Speed warning system
Inventor: MARUI YOSHITAKA
IPC: G01P1/10
Filed: 1985-03-04
Abstract: In order to obtain data of the maximum driving speed and the number of times of over-speed violation during one driving run, a speed warning system is provided with a maximum driving speed memory and an over-speed violation detector in addition to alarm of over-speed driving. A present speed as detected is compared with a speed as already stored in the memory and the higher one is rewritten in the memory. A speed excess signal obtained from comparing the present speed with a limit speed as permitted is used to drive the alarm and is also a charge and a discharge circuit having a predetermined time constant T1, from which an over-speed violation signal is obtained to represent a fact that the excess speed is maintained for a time period of T1 or more. The signal is applied to a counter, which counts the number of times of the over-speed violation. The contents of the memory and the counter are displayed on respective displays. In order to detect the number of times of the over-speed violation during a long time continuation of the over-speed driving, the over-speed violation signal may be applied to a multivibrator as a drive signal therefor. The pulses from the multivibrator are counted up at the counter. <IMAGE>
