Title: Suction cup assemblies
Inventor: RUSSELL TONY ALBERT
IPC: B65G47/91
Filed: 1993-02-18
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/00342 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 19, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 19, 1994 PCT Filed Feb. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/16582 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 2, 1993.A compliant mounting to attach a suction cup (11) to a support rod (10) is configured so that tilting movement of the cup occurs in such a way that translation of the mouth of the cup is minimised. The effective centre of the cup pivotal movement should lie within the confines of, or closely adjacent the cup. In the embodiment this is achieved by providing a sleeve (50) having an open lower end across which is stretched a resilient membrane (52). The membrane has a central aperture in which is secured the cup (11). Tilting movement of the cup occurring by subjecting the cup to a one-sided force A results in a complex pivotal cup motion by deformation of the membrane (52).

Title: Variable control of electroosmotic and/or electrophoretic forces within a fluid-containing structure via electrical forces.
Inventor: CHOW CALVIN Y H
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: In a microfluidic system (partially shown by element 178 in the figure and elements thereupon) using electrokinetic forces, the present invention uses electrical current or electrical parameters, other than voltage, to control the movement of fluids through the channels of the system. Time-multiplexed power supplies (200 and 202) also provide further control over fluid movement by varying the voltage on an electrode connected to a fluid reservoir of the microfluidic system, by varying the duty cycle during which the voltage is applied to the electrode, or by a combination of both. A time-multiplexed power supply can also be connected to more than one electrode for a saving in cost. <IMAGE>

Title: Recursive filter system for a video signal

Filed: 2006-06-02
Granted: 2011-03-30
Abstract: A recursive filter system 10 for a video image includes a memory 14 to store a first image of stored picture elements S(x,y). Weighted values  W(x,y)  of luminance and chrominance of a stored picture element  S(x,y)  are obtained by summing weighted values  B(x,y).S(x,y)  of luminance and chrominance of the picture element and neighbouring picture elements. A first proportional parameter  A(x,y)  is generated for the stored picture element based on a modular sum of differences between luminance and chrominance of the stored picture element and of surrounding picture elements. The first proportional parameter  A(x,y)  is used to generate a weighted picture element  M(x,y)  from a proportion of the stored picture element  S(x,y)  and a complementary proportion of the weighted value  W(x,y).  Picture elements  C(x,y)  of a next image and a second proportional parameter K are input and a filtered image generated by combining a proportion K of each input picture element of the next image with a complementary proportion 1-K of the weighted stored picture element  M(x,y)  of the first stored image using the second proportional parameter  K.  The filtered image is stored for processing a next succeeding image. In embodiments of the invention the second proportional parameter  K  may be varied pixel to pixel dependent on noise, motion and detail in a region of a picture element being processed.

Granted: 2007-10-24
Abstract: A system and method for information handling system manufacture analyzes an image to determine a traits definition that identifies the operating system, applications and unique information of the image, such as in a XML file. The image traits definition may be communicated to a manufacture site over a network and used to re-create the image for copying to a manufactured information handling system. Communication of the image traits definition consumes less network and storage resources than communication of the image, thus reducing the time and expense of image transfers to manufacture information handling systems.

Title: Mounting structure for mounting an electrical device with terminal pins on a printed wiring board
Inventor: KINUYAMA HIROTO
IPC: H05K3/30
Filed: 1997-05-16
Granted: 2000-11-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a mounting structure for mounting an electrical device having terminal pins, capable of avoiding the breakage of solder joints joining the terminal pins to a conductive pattern of the printed wiring board even if the ambient temperature varies in a wide range, and of being fabricated without requiring increase in cost and additional components. A projection (3a) is formed by half-punching a printed wiring board (3). When mounting an electrical device (1) having terminal pins (2) on the printed wiring board (3), the electrical device (1) is put on the printed wiring board (3) with its bottom surface in contact with the projection (3a), and then the terminal pins (2) are soldered to a conductive pattern formed on the printed wiring board (3). Since a predetermined space (G) is formed between the bottom surface of the electrical device (1) and the surface of the printed wiring board (3), molten flux will not be caused to flow into the joint of the bottom surface of the electrical device (l) and the projection (3a) by capillarity. Since the contraction of the printed wiring board (3) is greater than that of the terminal pins (2) when the solder solidifies, a clearance is formed between the bottom surface of the electrical device (1) and the upper surface of the projection (3a).

Title: Carrier activation for data communications
Inventor: FELDMAN HOWARD RAY
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-02-26
Granted: 2003-05-28
Abstract: In a radio communications system in which data is transmitted on a modulated radio frequency carrier, the carrier is switched off when no data is available for transmission. If repeated signalling information is required to be transmitted, only a predetermined number of repeats are transmitted before the carrier is switched off. In one embodiment a bit sequence at the end of a first data block is compared with multiple sequences from a second block and if all sequences are equal, transmission of the second block is inhibited. In another embodiment data input for transmission is compared with a predetermined bit sequence. If a match is found for any relative bit alignment, this indicates an idle state (absence of user data) and the carrier is switched off. When more user data is received the carrier is switched on and frames are transmitted in synchronisation with the timing of frames transmitted before carrier deactivation. After carrier reactivation a constant power preamble may be transmitted to assist in level control in the transmitter. In a satellite SCPC system satellite power efficiency is improved and mobile earth station battery power is saved.
