Abstract: Radiation images of an object, which have been recorded on recording media and in which different images of at least part of the object are embedded, are read out from the recording media, and a plurality of original image signals, each of which is made up of a series of image signal components, are thereby obtained. The image signal components of the original image signals, which represent corresponding picture elements in the radiation images, are then subtracted from each other, and a difference signal representing an image of a specific structure of the object is thereby obtained. A smoothing process is carried out on an original image signal, and a smoothed image signal is thereby obtained. The image signal components of the original image signal and the difference signal, which represent corresponding picture elements in the images, are weighted such that the weight given to the original image signal may be made larger as the image density represented by the smoothed image signal with respect to a picture element becomes lower. The weighted image signal components are then averaged. A composite image signal obtained from the weighted averaging process is utilized for reproduction of a visible radiation image of the object.

Abstract: In a boiling water nuclear reactor fuel bundle, a debris catching arrangement is disclosed for incorporation within the flow plenum up stream or below the rod supporting grid of the lower tie plate assembly. The device is preferably placed within the lower tie plate flow plenum between the fuel bundle inlet orifice and the rod supporting grid structure supporting the fuel rods; alternate placement can include any inlet channel upstream of the fuel rods including the fuel support casting. Paired plates (100A,100B) defining offset holes (105) and bosses (110) are utilized. The bosses (110) are supported at plate webbing between the respective holes (105). The holes are preferably square in plan with appropriately relieved and rounded corners (103) defining the edges of the webbing. The bosses (105) may be cylindrical, square or rectangular in cross-section. In confrontation of plates (100A,100B) to form the debris catching grid, each boss (105) from one plate confronts a hole from the remaining plate. A system of edge ridges in conjunction with the bosses at each plate edge maintains the plates spatially separated with the bosses of each plate spaced from the webbing of the opposite plate. In the preferred embodiment, the plates are captured in the flow plenum of a two part tie plate. There results a three dimensional and sturdy debris catching construction which has low flow resistance through the continuum of defined flow passages while maintaining excellent debris retaining properties.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des appareils et des procédés permettant d'évaluer physiologiquement la coordination des mouvements, la force et la vélocité essentielles à l'équilibre pour qu'un sujet puisse effectuer un mouvement de déplacement sur une combinaison de surface et plus particulièrement pour marcher sur place, monter et descendre les escaliers, s'asseoir et se lever depuis la position assise. Ledit appareil comprend une plaque à capteur de force (12) qui mesure la force exercée sur sa zone sensible, c'est-à-dire sa surface supérieure, et transmet des signaux de sortie représentatifs des forces mesurées. Une pluralité de surfaces de support (11) est montée dans des positions déterminées par rapport à la zone sensible de la plaque à capteur de force (12) de sorte que pratiquement toutes les forces exercées par le sujet sur les surfaces du support soient transmises à la zone sensible. La pluralité de surfaces (11), peut former une marche, des escaliers ou un siège. Un processeur de données (14) accepte les signaux de sortie provenant de la plaque à capteurs de force (12) et calcule les valeurs relatives aux positions et à l'ampleur des forces exercées par le sujet sur les surfaces de support (11). Afin de permettre le contrôle physiologique, des moyens d'affichage (13) de la position et des valeurs de grandeur calculées par des moyens de calcul et des valeurs supplémentaires relatives à des performances à atteindre sont prévus, le sujet pouvant, ainsi, voir ces valeurs tout en réalisant un mouvement de déplacement.

Title: Sealing method and arrangement for turbine compressor and laser employing same
Inventor: NILSEN CARL J
IPC: F04D29/12
Filed: 1994-06-03
Abstract: A turbine-type compressor useful in a gas laser apparatus for flowing gas along a flow path of the laser includes a sealing arrangement about a drive shaft of the compressor for preventing undesirable substances from moving to the compressor impeller along the drive shaft of the compressor and contaminating the laser gas compressed thereby. The sealing arrangement includes a first seal, preferably a vacuum pressure seal, for sealing about the shaft at least during rotation of the shaft, and a second seal comprising a resilient bladder which is selectively expanded and contracted to move into and out of sealing contact with the drive shaft, respectively, for, on one hand, sealing against the shaft when the drive shaft is stationary during pumping down of the laser and, on the other hand, withdrawing the bladder from the shaft when the shaft is rotating. The sealing arrangement is reliable and relatively low cost and uses less gas than a prior art sealing arrangement.
Patent EP-0710401-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BYRNE ROBERT C
IPC: H01L23/58
Filed: 1994-06-24
Abstract: A tamper resistant structure has a pattern which covers portions of an IC but exposes other portions of the IC so that etching away the tamper resistant structure destroys the exposed portions. The IC can not be easily disassembled and reverse engineered because the tamper resistant structure hides active circuitry and removing the tamper resistant structure away destroys active circuitry. One embodiment of the tamper resistant structure includes a metal layer and a cap layer. The cap layer typically includes material that is difficult to remove, such as silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or aluminum nitride. The metal layer typically includes a chemically resistant material such as gold or platinum. A bonding layer of nickel-vanadium alloy, titanium-tungsten alloy, chromium, or molybdenum, may be used to provide stronger bonds between layers. Some embodiments provide an anti-corrosion seals for bonding pads in addition to the tamper resistant structure. The seals and tamper resistant structures are formed using the same materils and processing steps. The choice of pattern which covers and exposes different portions of the IC can be random or tailored to the active circuitry. The pattern can be the same for every chip or different for every chip formed from a wafer.

Abstract: Cet équipement (10) et ce procédé de distribution précise d'un réactif liquide met en ÷uvre une pompe (16) en fonctionnement permanent servant à amener l'air ambiant sous pression. L'air sous pression est d'abord introduit en une première chambre d'une cavité d'écoulement (18). Cette cavité comporte une deuxième chambre qui a pour but d'atténuer de façon suffisante les irrégularités du débit d'air ou les variations de pression d'air imputables à la pompe. Une sonde de pression à vie longue (32) dont la caractéristique principale est de ne pas se décaler, est associée à une troisième chambre de la cavité d'écoulement. Cette sonde de pression délivre un signal correspondant à la pression d'air détectée. Par comparaison à la base d'étalonnage de la sonde de pression, un dispositif de contrôle (36) délivre un signal de commande évoluant dans le temps en fonction de la pression d'air détectée. Plus en aval, en réaction au signal de commande, une soupape à ouverture périodique (38) laisse échapper l'air sous pression de la cavité d'écoulement. Ce principe assure une régulation précise de la pression de l'air de distribution dans la deuxième chambre de la cavité d'écoulement. La pression de l'air de distribution s'applique au réactif liquide au travers du réservoir de réactif liquide (46) et de l'organe de fermeture (62), mettant ainsi sous pression ce réactif qui pourra être distribué selon un débit précis au travers d'une soupape de distribution (82). La soupape de distribution est solidaire de l'organe de fermeture de façon étanche pour réduire les fuites et les éventuelles corrosions du présent appareil.
