Patent EP-0650078-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GREENAWAY DAVID LESLIE
IPC: G02B5/18
Filed: 1993-10-21
Abstract: Light from a light source (2) diffracted by a Fresnel zone plate (1) onto a target region, that is, into a particular section of the cone of 1 st  order diffracted light comes from only two specific areas (7a, 7b) of the zone plate (1). 
     This effect is exploited for creating reflective devices which direct diffracted light almost exclusively onto the target region in that the device is made up from identical elemental areas with grooves following the line pattern of one of the specific areas (7a, 7b) of the Fresnel zone plate. 
     The reflective device comprises a reflective metallic or dielectric layer on a carrier, e. g. a plastic foil and is particularly suited for roadside marking or signalling devices such as roadside marker posts, road markings laid flat on the road surface, signposts, and billboards.

Abstract: In this method, filtering is done by means of low-pass filters and the desired phase increment, and thus the transmitted signal, is subsequently obtained by means of complex multiplication (delay demodulation), the method being characterised by the fact that the sampled received signal is subjected to filtering by means of a bandpass filter and that this filter has complex-valued coefficients.   The method is very inexpensive and can be used, particularly, in the demodulation of UHF FM signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fountain assembly for applying a fluid composition uniformly to the circumferential surface of a rotating transfer roller (10). The assembly has an elongated plastic frame (2) having a concave channel (6) formed on one side of it and a rigid metal brace (4) on the other side. A pair of doctor blades (8) is attached to opposite sides of said channel and positioned to contact the surface of the transfer roller. A pair of curved radial surface seals (22) form a resilient bulkhead with the ends of said doctor blades to form a seal with the roller. The radial surface seals, doctor blades and concave channel form a closed chamber when positioned against the transfer roller. A pivot (28) supports the fountain assembly, alternately swiveling said fountain assembly toward and away from the transfer roller. Means are provided for supplying a fluid composition into the channel. In one embodiment, air cylinders (30) are mounted between the pivoting support and frame for adjusting the position of said fountain assembly by thrusting the frame into and out of contact with the transfer roller. In another embodiment, washing nozzles (42) are disposed along the channel for spraying a washing solution to the channel via an internal manifold (44) within the frame for directing a washing fluid to the nozzles and dispensing a controlled amount of a washing solution under pressure through the manifold and nozzles.

Abstract: Filtration module wherein entrained solids are removed from a carrier fluid via filtration with (ceramic) candles. The filter design comprises a plurality layers or "tiers" of filters (6) and a tiered conical ash sluicing system (8) to concentrate and centralize ash sluicing. Solids discharge from tiered layers avoids re-entrainment of solids in gas flow in lower layers. Solids re-entrainment reduces the effectiveness of the additional lower surface area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for remotely accessing a host computer from a remote location. The invention permits a user to remotely change a telephone number that allows the host computer to dial the user's current location. A user performs this change only after he has been strongly authenticated using a distributed user authentication protocol in addition to a simple user ID and password. This allows the user to move between locations and access the host computer, while the call-back feature protects the host computer from unauthorized intrusion. Also, a second registered user who does not have call-back authority may gain access to the host computer through a user that has call-back authority. In this case the user with call-back authority gains entry into the host computer and causes it to call the second registered user, who then enters a user ID and password to gain entry to the host computer. The present invention may be implemented in the host computer or in an interface coupled between the host computer and its modem.

Title: Apparatus for detecting a person seated on a toilet seat
Inventor: TAKABA TOSHIAKI
IPC: E03D9/08
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for detecting a person on a toilet seat. A crystal oscillator 62 is connected to the base of a transistor 60 of a high frequency oscillating circuit 50. An electrode 44 is provided on the toilet seat, so that when someone sits on the seat, a capacitance 64 is created by the person, parallel to the crystal oscillator 62. The output signal of oscillating circuit 50 passes through a band pass filter 52, is averaged by an averaging circuit 54, and is compared with a reference voltage from a circuit 56 by a comparison circuit 58. When no-one is sitting on the toilet seat, the signal level of oscillation circuit 50 is high, but when a person sits on the toilet seat 40, the capacitor 64 causes the oscillator signal level to become low, and the comparison voltage inputted into comparison circuit 58 becomes lower than the reference voltage. Thus, the comparator 58 output indicates when a person is sitting on the toilet seat. As long as the area of contact between the person and the toilet seat is larger than a certain predetermined size, detection is accomplished, irrespectively of whether or not the person is seated in a correct posture.

Abstract: The method makes it possible to monitor a three-dimensional scene and to detect anomalies. A three-dimensional, geometric reference model of the said scene is constituted associating, with each scene, corresponding points in the field of at least two sensors placed at a distance from one another and sensitive to a radiometric parameter (such as the brightness) of the scene. The real scene is periodically synthesized on the three-dimensional geometric model, on the basis of each of the representations thereof which are supplied by the sensors. On that basis, the synthesized scenes are compared to each other in order to reveal discrepancies due to a modification of the 3D model which are of a size greater than a defined value. <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 5, 1993In order to be able to consolidate mineral fibers without binder, such as in particular glass wool into a needle-felt by needle-punching, an agent as a needling aid which comprises a thixotropizing additive having a relatively low flow viscosity during needling and thus allows to effectively support the needling process, is added to the mineral fibers. At rest, this thixotropizing additive however has an extremely high viscosity, whereby the needle-punched felt obtains good strength. In particular, for needling rock wool, suppler textile fibers are moreover added which contribute to improved mutual interlocking of the fibers, in particular in the case of mineral fibers such as basalt fibers, which can only with difficulty be interlocked by needling. A corresponding processing aid furthermore proves advantageous in the production of a crimped mat from a laminar mat, as the drastically weakened resistance against further shifting makes it possible to reorient the fibers in the crimping zone, gently and to a large degree, without the application of excessively large forces.
