Patent EP-0282163-A3 (EP)
Title: Path analysis system
IPC: G05D1/10
Filed: 1988-02-09
Abstract: A path analsysis system for determining if a 
specified path is blocked by a given obstacle 
includes a programmable comparator which 
simultaneously compares each of the coordinates of a 
specified point in N dimensional space with two 
coordinate ranges: (1) the range defined by the 
minimum and maximum values of the coordinate for a 
specified obstacle, and (2) the range of values of 
that coordinate which are outside and on one side of 
the obstacle. As a result, the programmable 
comparator generates a 2N bit map signal denoting, 
for each coordinate, whether the specified point is 
within each of the two ranges.  
     The system presents to the programmable 
comparator the coordinates of the starting point and 
the end point of a specified path, and the 
programmable comparator responds by generating a 
starting point map signal and an end point map 
signal. A decoder then uses the starting point and 
end point map signals to determine whether the 
specified path is blocked, not blocked, or may be 
blocked by the specified obstacle.

Patent EP-0275231-A3 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for consolidating web materials, in particular a fibre web
IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 1988-01-05
Abstract: Fibre webs are consolidated and embossed using pairs of rotating calender rolls between which the fibre web passes. The calender rolls have been provided with raised discrete areas which form a surface pattern and determine the pattern which is embossed on the fibre web. To emboss different patterns, depending on the desired constitution and stiffness of the fibre web, different calender rolls are available, but it is very inconvenient to interchange the calender rolls. To avoid this disadvantage, the calender rolls of the novel apparatus are each driven at a synchronous speed and it is made possible to alter the speed of one of the rolls for a short time, so that the surface patterns of the two calender rolls become displaced relative to one another. This creates different degrees of overlap between mutually opposite pairs of raised areas, so that it is possible to set different embossing patterns in the course of continuous operation without it being necessary to replace the calender rolls. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0331438-A3 (EP)
IPC: G11B7/248
Filed: 1989-02-28
Abstract: Provided is a process and solvent solution for coating an 
aza-annulene chromophore containing film directly onto a 
polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate comprising base. In the 
process, a solution of the chromophore, e.g., phthalocyanine, 
porphyrin or naphthalocyanine, is cast directly onto the 
polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate base, with the solvent 
used in formulating the solution comprising a C₅-C₇ cyclic 
alcohol, or a mixture or solvents including at least one of the 
aforementioned alcohols. The solvent is then removed, preferably 
by evaporation, in order to yield a smooth, homogeneous 
chromophore containing film directly on the polycarbonate or 
polymethylmethacrylate comprising base. This process is 
particularly applicable to the manufacture of optical recording 
media as the particular solvents employed in the process exhibit 
surprising and unique solvency characteristics with respect to 
aza-annulene chromophores, and do not attack polycarbonate or 
polymethylmethacrylate containing bases. The process therefore 
offers the advantage of being able to manufacture a medium 
employing a polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate substrate 
without the need for a subbing layer.
