Abstract: Apparatus for blow moulding hollow plastic bodies from plastic preforms, or parisons, which is adapted to detect bursts occurring in plastic bottles. To this purpose, the apparatus itself comprises a differential pressure transducer arrangement ( 10, 11 ), a low-pressure gas supply source ( 103 ) along with a related first supply channel ( 101 ), a high-pressure gas supply source along with a related second supply channel ( 105 ). The differential pressure transducer arrangement is made up by one or more tubes ( 3, 4 ) arranged crosswise in the second supply channel; these tubes contain respective separate chambers opening ( 5, 6 ) into the interior of said second supply channel (Pitot tubes). Two sensors ( 7, 8 ) adapted to detect respective pressures are connected in a distinct manner to said respective chambers. Any possible pressure variation at pre-determined moments during the blow-moulding cycle is processed and compared, and the result is an indication of whether a serious irregularity, such as a burst or a silent gas leakage, took place during the blow-moulding process of a given bottle.

Abstract: A system (Fig. 4) and method (50) which permit the RNC to control purging of data buffered in the Node B. The RNC monitors for a triggering event, which initiates the purging process. The RNC then informs the Node B of the need to purge data by transmitting a purge command (54), which prompts the Node B to delete at least a portion of buffered data. The purge command (54) can include instructions for the Node B to purge all data for a particular UE, data in one or several user priority transmission queues or in one or more logical channels in the Node B, depending upon the particular data purge triggering event realized in the RNC.

Abstract: A gas valve has housing and a barrier. The housing has a passageway with an upstream port and a downstream port. The barrier is disposed across the passageway and is formed from a material which is porous to compressed gas but which substantially prevents a low-pressure liquid from advancing through the passageway downstream of the barrier. The passageway may also contain a gas conditioner and/or a filter that is preferably disposed downstream of the barrier. In another embodiment, a valve comprises an inlet opening, a passageway extending downstream of the inlet opening, an attachment portion near the inlet opening, and a movable cap adapted to cover the inlet opening. The cap has a range of motion between a first position, wherein the cap covers the inlet opening, and a second position outside of the passageway, wherein the cap is displaced from the inlet opening. The cap is biased towards the first position. The gas valve may further comprise a gas regulator in fluid communication with the passageway.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically adjusting a backlight intensity level for displays is disclosed. The system and method are implemented in electronic devices having a camera and digital backlit displays, such that the camera is used to determine an ambient light level and the backlight level is adjusted according to the determined ambient light level. In particular, when the camera is not in use for capturing images by the user, the automatic backlight adjustment system captures a first image with the camera to determine an initial ambient light level, and then captures a second image with the camera at a later time to determine a subsequent ambient light level. The subsequent and initial ambient light levels are compared to each other and the backlight intensity level is either increased or decreased a predetermined amount for optimal viewing and low power consumption. Backlight intensity determination can be performed on the basis of a single image instead of a differential between two images.

Abstract: The reconstruction of computer tomography data is very often based on a parallel rebinning step of the projection data prior to the filtered back projection. In case of cardiac reconstruction, a gating technique is applied to select appropriate projections for a time-dependent image reconstruction. Usually, the gating window is a function of the fan-beam/cone-beam projection only. According to the present invention, a function corresponding to the location on the detector surface, where the respective projection was detected is used to further verify whether the respective projection is truly within the selected gating window or not.

Abstract: A zoned UV curing system for drying UV inks and coatings in printing presses. A plurality of linear UV lamps are spaced apart laterally across the travel path of substrates in a press. The axis of each lamp is aligned generally with the travel path, but may be slanted slightly so that every point on the travel path passes directly under at least one lamp. Power supply and control means allow selection of which lamps are powered, so that unneeded lamps may be turned off to save power. The power level of each lamp is variable. One transverse UV lamp may be placed upstream to initiate curing before substrates pass the zoned system. An IR heater may be placed upstream to preheat UV ink and coatings to enhance curing and to smooth coatings.

Abstract: A snow filter for an airplane cabin air supply system is provided with a coned inlet screen which allows some air to pass through and some snow to be retained. The coned configuration diverts much of the air and snow toward a downstream conical retaining and collecting screen positioned toward the outlet of the snow filter. Snow is retained and collected at this point while air is able to pass through the screen. Downstream of the coned inlet screen and upstream of the conical retaining and collecting screen is an open air flow mid-portion that enables tortuous flow of air as the snow is directed toward the conical retaining and collecting screen in an annular collection volume. The outlet of the snow filter is provided with a contact sleeve that allows the snow filter to be fittingly received by a surrounding corresponding air duct. Thus a snow filter is provided that effectively separates snow from a flow of air while maintaining a clog-free path.
