Title: Removing the effects of acoustic ringing and reducing temperature effects in the detection of explosives by nqr.
Inventor: BUESS MICHAEL L
IPC: G01R33/20
Filed: 1993-10-25
Abstract: Acoustic ringing and adverse effects from variations in the NQR detection of explosives and narcotics are minimized or eliminated. A specimen (1) is irradiated with a modified steady state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequence which combines a phase-alternated pulse sequence (PAPS) with a non-phase-alterned pulse sequence (NPAPS). The resulting signals from the PAPS and NPAPS may then be coadded to cancel out the FID contributions to the signals. By canceling out the FID contributions to the signals, the effects of probe ringing and other extraneous responses, as well as the effect of temperature variation, are minimized or removed. The present method is especially effective in the detection of explosives and narcotics having <14>N or <35,37>Cl nuclei. A steady state free precession pulse which is especially useful with the method of the present invention is the strong off-resonance comb (SORC). In another embodiment of the invention, the effects of probe ringing can also be minimized or removed by repeating the detection procedure at a frequency which is sufficiently off-resonance so that only frequency independent effects, such as probe-ringing, can be observed.

Patent EP-0804768-A4 (EP)
Inventor: ABBOTT WILLIAM L
IPC: H03H9/02
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un filtre adaptatif, destiné aux systèmes de gestion de disques, qui comporte un ensemble de circuits d'adaptation (48) fonctionnant plus lentement que le filtre et, par conséquent, à un niveau de puissance réduit. Le filtre adaptatif reçoit des échantillons de données d'entrée correspondant aux données brutes lues sur un disque par le système de gestion de disques et converties sous forme numérique, et il restitue des échantillons de sortie de données traitées. L'action du filtre est définie par des coefficients de filtre caractéristiques dont les valeurs sont actualisées par l'ensemble de circuits d'adaptation (48) en cours de fonctionnement du filtre. Le filtre adaptatif est cadencé indépendamment des circuits d'adaptation (48), de telle sorte que les échantillons de données d'entrée et les échantillons de données traitées de sortie soient cadencés au moyen du filtre adaptatif à une fréquence de base 1/T, et les coefficients du filtre sont actualisés en fonction d'un algorithme spécifié suivant une cadence d'actualisation inférieure à la fréquence de base 1/T. L'actualisation des coefficients du filtre intervient de préférence à une cadence égale à 1/J, où J est un entier supérieur à 1 et généralement compris entre 2 et 8. La cadence d'actualisation des coefficients est obtenue au moyen d'une horloge (49) d'adaptation des coefficients de filtre séparée, obtenue à partir de l'horloge du système en divisant cette dernière par un paramètre J programmable par l'utilisateur. Ce procédé réduit la cadence d'actualisation des coefficients, ce qui réduit, par conséquent, la fréquence de commutation des portes logiques, le nombre de bascules de pipeline et finalement la consommation d'énergie.

Title: Spindle disc for high speed can decorators
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT
IPC: B41F17/22
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: A mandrel/spindle disc for a continuous motion can decorator includes a plurality of relatively lightweight mandrel assemblies mounted on a rotating carrier with equal angular spacings between adjacent assemblies. The assemblies reciprocate radially with respect to the carrier axis as a center. Each assembly includes a base and two guide rods that extend radially inward from the base and are received by sleeve bushings that are disposed in radial holes extending inward from the carrier periphery. A plurality of relatively small grease pools are formed by small transverse holes, each of which extend forward from the rear of the carrier disc to engage the inner ends of four bushing holes. Vacuum and air pressure are fed to each mandrel assembly through a flexible hose having a large loop therein. The base of the assembly is made compact so that when decorations are being applied to a particular can the mandrel supporting that particular can moves relatively close to the radially outward end of the bushings thereby reducing bending moments acting between the assembly guide shafts and their bushings. These bushings extend radially outward of the carrier periphery, being received by undercuts in washer-like retainers that are piloted on the bushings to help position sealing rings that are mounted under the inside of the retainers.
