IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 1991-12-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus by which fractured rock formations are identified and their orientation may be determined includes two orthogonal motion sensors (24) which are used in conjunction with a downhole orbital vibrator. The downhole vibrator includes a device (30) for orienting the sensors. The output of the sensors is displayed as a lissajou figure. The shape of the figure changes when a subsurface fracture is encountered in the borehole. The apparatus and method identifies fractured rock formations and enables the azimuthal orientation of the fractures to be determined.

Abstract: A mounting structure of lock pieces on a connector hood includes L-shaped lock piece support portions projecting from side surfaces of the connector hood and having free ends rising upwardly, respectively, and L-shaped window portions provided in the lock pieces and having provisional window portions and complete window portions, respectively. Each of the provisional window portions has a width for receiving one of the L-shaped lock piece support portions and a height much more than a thickness of the L-shaped lock piece support portion. On the other hand, each of the complete window portions is continuous to the provisional window portion at its upper end and has a width and a height somewhat more than the width and the thickness of the L-shaped lock piece support portion, respectively. With this arrangement, the lock pieces are able to be mounted on the metal hood by once inserting the lock pieces into the provisional window portions, respectively, and then moving the lock pieces into the complete window portions of the lock pieces.

Abstract: Fixed onto a bearing plate (1) are a nozzle arm (9), a lever mechanism (37), a piston cylinder (36) and a water distributor (34). In order to move out the nozzle arm (9) for the douching process, the pressure chamber (39) of the piston cylinder (36) is connected to the water mains by operating a press switch. Through the pressure of the water flowing into the chamber (39), the piston (21) is pushed forward against the restoring force of a pressure spring and moved out via the lever mechanism (37) of the nozzle arm (9). A control valve (12) controls the inflow of warm douching water to a jet (10) located at the front end of the nozzle arm (9). The drive enables a space-saving arrangement, and the installation of the drive in a toilet seat lid.

Abstract: Apparatus and techniques are disclosed for aligning the operation of the ink jet printhead cartridges of a multiple printhead ink jet swath printer that includes a print carriage that is movable along a horizontal carriage scan axis, (b) first and second ink jet printhead cartridges supported by the movable carriage for printing onto a print media that is selectively movable along a vertical media scan axis, and (c) an optical sensor supported by the movable carriage. Alignment of the operation of the printheads along the media scan axis is performed by determining with the optical sensor the relative positions of horizontal test line segments printed by selected nozzles of the printhead cartridges. The relative position information is utilized to calculate a vertical alignment correction which is implemented by enabling selected ink jet nozzles of the printheads and adjusting the position of one printhead cartridge relative to the other such that the nozzles of the ink jet printheads are properly spaced along the media scan axis.

Abstract: The input control device of an electronic franking machine has a programmable data memory, containing information on postal tariffs, and a type-specific data memory, which determines the function of input keys (4) of an input panel (keyboard) (1), determined by the set-up of the tariff system. The franking values possible on the basis of the postal tariff are provided in address fields of addresses of the programmable data memory, the addresses and address fields being selectable by input keys for the determination of franking values and for the generation of corresponding control signals for the setting of means for graphic layout of the franking value. The addresses are assigned key-specific ordinal numbers, the ordinal numbers of different input keys (4) being such that they can be added to give a resulting ordinal number. The franking values determined by the weight of the article intended for postal dispatch, i.e. their address fields, can in each case be selected by a single input key (4) in that the latter are provided for weight ranges (CH: -50 g, -100 g, -250 g, -400 g, -500 g). This type of functional determination of input keys and the preprocessed storage of the franking values simplifies operator control of the device when franking and simplifies reprogramming of the data memory containing the information on postal tariffs. In addition, by exchanging the type-specific data memory and exchanging key inscriptions, the same device can be easily adapted to postal tariff systems of different countries. <IMAGE>

Pixel data from a previous video frame is arranged into sub-blocks containing a plurality N of pixels. The sub-blocks are stored in a memory to enable the retrieval of at least one sub-block per memory access cycle. A plurality M of sub-blocks are retrieved from the memory in response to a displacement vector associated with a portion of a current video frame. M is less than or equal to N and the M sub-blocks are retrieved in no more than M memory access cycles. A subset of pixels is chosen from the selected plurality of sub-blocks for use in interpolating pixels for the current video frame portion. The subset of pixels is processed over no more than N memory access cycles to provide N interpolated pixels for the current video frame portion.
