Abstract: The present invention provides a 3D handwriting recognition system that allows users to freely write words or characters in a 3D space in a touchless manner, without requiring any physical medium such as a pad or a tablet. The users' handwrting input in a 3D space will be tracked by an input device of the system that generates corresponding 3D motion data and wirelessly transfers the 3D motion data to a recognition device of the system. The 3D motion data will be converted and then mapped onto a 2D plane to generate corresponding 2D images for handwriting recognition. In this way, the users' inputting will never be limited to any screen, pad or plane, and the users will have more flexibility and enjoyable writing experience.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for removing
oxides of nitrogen and oxides of sulfur from a gas stream such as a flue gas
stream from an industrial process. The process utilizes a prescrubber A to
contact the gas stream before the gas stream contacts ozone in an oxidizer zone
B. Oxides of sulfur are removed in the prescrubber A, whereas lower oxides of
nitrogen and heavy metals such as mercury are oxidised to more soluble higher
oxides of nitrogen in the oxidation zone B. The oxidized gas is then treated to
either first and second scrubber operations or just a single scrubber operation to
remove residual oxides of sulfur, excess ozone and the oxides of nitrogen.

Abstract: The locking device comprises a base element 1 and a locking means (3), such as a bolt, which is, actuated by electrical drive means, movable relative to the base element between a locking position and a release position. The base element is movably linked to an intermediate element (2) with respect to which the locking means is movable by the electrical drive mean, whereas the intermediate element (2) is movably linked to the base element (1) and movable relative to the base element against a resistance of a spring force. A switching means (6) is actuated by a displacement of the intermediate element relative to the base element, wherein the switching means is operable to stop the electrical drive means. By this mechanism, it is assured that the electrical drive means is automatically halted when the locking means is blocked due to an incident of failure or because it has reached its end position. The invention also concerns a locking device where the intermediate element is movable relative to the base element by the electrical drive means, where the locking means is movable relative to the intermediate element against the resistance of a spring force, and wherein a switching means detects a relative displacement of the locking means and the intermediate element.

IPC: B64D11/00
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: In a vertical conveyor arrangement for the transport of catering service goods in an aircraft with at least two decks arranged one above another, catering service goods are transported from a lower deck embodied as a freight deck into an upper deck. A conveyor arrangement is embodied according to the invention as a lift carriage, whereby the lift carriage is made up of a top structure with guide elements that are operatively connected with guide rails arranged above the freight deck, and a bottom structure that protrudes into the freight compartment in transport position, and that, for receiving a receptacle, comprises at least one cantilever arm reaching over the top side of the receptacle, a column element, side arms at least partially encompassing the sides of the receptacle, as well as a floor plate. The bottom structure forms a secured receiver for the receptacle. It is especially advantageous, through avoidance of a fixed lift installation in the freight compartment, not to hinder the throughgoing passability of the freight compartment in the loading with containers. Moreover, a reliable and continuous secure fixing of the transport receptacle is ensured during the lift operation.

Abstract: High-sensitivity electrometers are connected to each
stage, the collector (4) being electrically insulated by a
system of sapphires (2) or another non-piezoelectric material.
The electrical connection between this collector (4) and the
electrometer is also based on another system of multiple
sapphires or other another non-piezoelectric material. Each
stage of the impactor is designed such that it is, in and of
itself, a Faraday box, completely enclosing the collector (4)
and the line connecting it to the amplifier and to the
electrometer itself. The aerodynamic design of the stages is
optimized for preventing turbulence by setting a nozzle-collector
distance comparable to the diameter of the nozzle. 
     The device allows for increasing the sensitivity and
resolution during the measurement of particle size
distributions in automatic cascade impactors, and is
applicable in those fields in which it is necessary to measure
sub-micronic particles, especially in the environmental and
emissions fields. Figure 1.
