Abstract: An article hold-up assembly (30) for use with an article handling apparatus (22). The article hold-up assembly (30) includes an elongated lane (36) defining an axis of elongation (53) for merging a finite series of articles (46) defining a group of articles (42) with a generally continuous series of articles (46) defining an outfeed stream of articles (46). The article handling apparatus (22) includes a conveyor (48) for moving articles (42) through at least a portion of the lane (36). The article hold-up assembly (30) includes an air supply (24), a plenum chamber (26) communicating with the air supply (24), and a plurality of apertures (28) in the plenum chamber (26). The air supply (24) provides positive air flow into the plenum chamber (26). The plenum chamber (26) and the apertures (28) therein are positioned spaced away from the axis of elongation (53). The air flowing from the air supply (24) to the plenum chamber (26) and through the apertures (28) creates a directional air flow (66) against a trailing end (60) article of the group of articles (42). The directional air flow (66) maintains at least one article which defines the trailing end (60) of the group of articles (42) in an abutting orientation with the group of articles (42) as the group of articles (42) is moved by the conveyor (48) along the elongated lane (36).

Abstract: A decoder is used in an end-to-end scalable video delivery system operable over heterogeneous networks. The decoder may software-based and computationally low complexity, or may be implemented inexpensively in ROM hardware. The system utilizes a scalable video compression algorithm based on a Laplacian pyramid decomposition to generate an embedded information stream. At the receiving end, the decoder extracts from the embedded stream different streams at different spatial and temporal resolutions. Decoding a 160x120 pixel image involves only decompressing a base layer 160x120 pixel image. Decoding a 320x240 pixel image involves decompressing and up-sampling (e.g., interpolating) the base layer to yield a 320x240 pixel image to which is added error data in a first enhancement layer following its decompression. To obtain a 640x480 pixel image, the decoder up-samples the up-sampled 320x240 pixel image, to which is added error data in a second enhancement layer, following its decompression. Because decoding requires only additions and look-ups from a table stored in a small (12 Kb) memory, decoding occurs in real-time. Subjective quality of the compressed images preferably is enhanced using perceptual distortion measures. The system also provides joint-source channel coding capability on heterogenous networks. The look-up table or codebook includes the inverse perceptual weighting (preprocessed) and the inverse transform (preprocessed). Decoding permits the codewords within the look-up table codebook to include preprocessed color conversion, dithering, color palletization, edge-enhancement, decimation, and interpolation.

Abstract: An encoder capable of taking four bits of uncompressed data and encoding the received bits. The encoder in parallel generates one or a plurality of codes if the bits can be represented by a code or by a plurality of codes and keeps the bits that can not be represented by a code unaltered. On the following clock cycle, the unaltered bits from the previous clock cycle will be combined with a new set of four bits of data and the cumulative bits will be converted to a code if they can be represented by a code and if they can not be represented by a code, they will be stored until the next clock cycle. The process of storing the cumulative number of bits is continued until the cumulative number of bits can be represented by a code.

Abstract: Circuitry (100) that controls a multiple-plate charged particle beam deflection arrangement (200) includes a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) (11) acting through a separate accumulating Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) (ALU-1 --- ALU-8)connected to each of the plates (P1 -- P8). For each line to be scanned, at the commencement of the scanning of the line, the DSP (11) delivers to each accumulating ALU (ALU-1 --- ALU-8) a separate signal composed of a digital number representing an initial value (if any) and a digital number representing a step size. During each subsequent cycle of a clock, each accumulating ALU successively adds the step size to a resulting cumulative sum. This cumulative sum depends upon the initial value (if any) plus the step size multiplied by the number of cycles that have elapsed since the initial cycle.

Abstract: The stimulator has a de-synchronising mode for ventricular stimulation when the auricular rhythm exceeds an admissible level. The stimulator is then progressively re- synchronised in case of return to an admissible auricular level. The method has the following stages: a) at each detection of a de-polarisation auricular a window of auricular rhythm acceleration detection(DARA) is defined whose duration is a function of the anterior auricular rhythm., which is evaluated after one or several preceding auricular intervals. b) on detection of the following auricular de-polarisation, the rate of an escape auricular interval(IEA) is counted. c) if this de-polarisation is present in the DARA window, if necessary, consecutive auricular control is made as a function of the defined IEA. During stage a) the duration of the window DARA is adapted to the anterior auricular rhythm so as to define a long window for a rapid rhythm and a short window for a slow rhythm, in a manner which permits discrimination between extra-systoles auricular(ESA) and physiological accelerations of the auricular rhythm.

Abstract: An improved process is provided for the preparation of siloxane-oxyalkylene and siloxane-alkyl copolymer compositions via a hydrosilation reaction in the presence of high boiling point natural vegetable oils as the reaction solvent. The reaction solvent need not be removed from the block copolymer product, and indeed is beneficial to remain with the copolymer particularly when the copolymer is used as a surfactant for polyurethane foam formulations. Soybean oil and linseed oil are the preferred high boiling natural oil solvents when the copolymer product is to be used in the preparation of the surfactants for polyurethane foams. High resiliency polyurethane foam prepared with these natural oils present in the surfactant preparation afforded improved compression sets, wet compression sets and humid aged compression sets. Additionally, the use of the surfactants made with natural oils as a reaction solvent or consequently surfactants post diluted with natural oils when employed in the preparation of polyurethane foam afforded foams with greatly reduced amounts of "glass fogging".

Abstract: An elongated, rotatable surgical cutting instrument
having a rotatable cutting element at the distal end of a bendable
non-rotating elongated outer member. The instrument enables
operation of various cutting devices such as a bendable rotatable
burr. In one embodiment the cutting element is rotatably, but
irremovably attached to the distal end of the outer member. The
proximal end of the cutting element is then releasably attached to
the distal end of a flexible coupling which in turn is attached to
the distal end of an elongated inner member. The assembly is then
rotatably secured within the outer member so the cutting element
may be rotated via the inner member. An aspirating lumen extends
through the cutting element, the flexible coupling and the inner
member and the inner member may be removed from the outer member
without detaching the cutting element therefrom. In another
embodiment, the cutting element is removable from the outer member
when the inner member is removed.

Abstract: Fast, low-overhead implementations of a powerful, reliable image matching technique are disclosed. A processor performing the technique can receive two inputs. The first input is a pattern (C) to be detected in an image; the second, a digital image (A) in which the pattern is to be detected. The digital image is preprocessed (B). The processor can use various morphological dilation operations to produce a set of preprocessed digital images. Thereafter, the processor performs a search (D) for the pattern in the digital image. The search can be a hierarchical search performed over a search space, and can include a series of decisions, each decision indicating whether a portion of the search space can be eliminated from the search. Each decision can be made by performing a plurality of comparisons between the pattern and the preprocessed digital images of the set and analyzing the results of these comparisons. Or the search can be nonhierarchical. Density information about the pattern or about a preprocessed digital image can be used to control search, avoiding unnecessary comparisons. Once the search is complete, the processor outputs a search outcome (E) indicating, for example, whether (and where) the pattern has been found in the image. Any application domain wherein images are searched for instances of patterns can benefit from this invention. Document analysis applications provide one such domain.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides for an intelligent or "adaptable" filtering method that can be applied when filtering log data. In the present invention, for a given filter model, the adaptive filtering technique differentiates between true changes in the formation or borehole quantity measured and what can be considered to be just a "statistical fluctuation". So, when in long constant-value intervals (data deviations do not exceed those predicted by statistical theory) the filter will automatically increase the number of filter levels used, thereby providing a large reduction (smoothing) of the statistical variations. However, when approaching a spot where there is a true change in the quantity being measured (data deviations over and above those predicted by statistics) the filter will automatically and smoothly decrease, on both sides of this spot, thereby preserving the sharpness of the bed boundary or borehole fluid contact and also preserving the true shape of a thin geologic bed.
