Patent EP-0056303-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EVERT DONALD E
IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1982-01-07
Abstract: A position sensor for sensing the angular position of an oscillatory member such as a transducer, includes a magnetic element (24) which is permanently magnetized in a predetermined direction and forms part of the oscillatory member for oscillatory movement therewith. A Hall plate sensor (36) is positioned adjacent the magnetic element (24) to detect changes in the magnetic field presented thereto by changes in position of the magnetic element. When the magnetic element is oscillated with the transducer, the magnetic field presented to the Hall plate is varied accordingly. This, in turn, produces an electrical signal as an output of the Hall plate which is a function of the instantaneous position of the magnetic element and hence of the oscillatory transducer. That electrical signal may then be used to produce synchronization signals for the imaging apparatus of the transducer.

Abstract: An ultrasound unit for the clinical application of hyperthermia to tumour cells in soft tissues is provided. The ultrasound hyperthermic unit includes in one aspect an array of sonic transducers (1) radially disposed about an axis and angled to direct sonic energy (12) towards said axis at a point remote from said array, each transducer being adapted for angular movement relative to the other transducers thereby to allow adjustment of the shape of the acoustic focus. The array is computer controlled both with regard to acoustic focus and with regard to the energy imparted by each member of the array, said control being mediated by temperature sensing means (40) adjacent a tumour. This ultrasound unit may be associated with a heat treatment tank (51, 31) including a flexible membrane (32, 52) which may overlie a tumour, thereby to locally raise the temperature and reduce the amount of ultrasonic power required to achieve a desired temperature. 
     Suitable adjustment of the focused energy raises the temperature of the tumour cells above viability, whereas the same energy density applied to healthy cells still allows viability by virtue of the relatively greater heat dissipation ability, and the geometric properties of a single focused transducer, or a multiply focused array.

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring the escape of steam from the tubes of a power station boiler or the like employs a microphone located externally to the combustion space to sense an increase in combustion space noise level. At least one long narrow listening tube (12) leads from the combustion space (10) and has at its end an elbow (16) to which is sealed a microphone assembly (14) that senses the noise in the combustion space (10). Preferably a diaphragm (32) is interposed between the microphone assembly (20) and listening tube (12) that seals the end of the listening tube (12) while transmitting sound substantially unattenuated. The diaphgram (32) is a plastics sheet compressed between washers (30, 30a) that have an undulating line of contact. Noise from escaping steam at a frequency of 4-8 KHz may be detected with a gain of typically -20 db. The signal from the microphone assembly (14) is amplified (40, 42) and processed by means (49) to indicate the level of sound in the combustion space.

Abstract: A system for automatically setting up a color television camera. Register error is detected by correlating the times of occurrence of level transitions in two video signals. A unipolar pulse is provided in response to a level transition in one of the video signals, and a pulse having a positive and a negative lobe is provided in response to a level transition in the other of the video signals. The two pulse signals are multipled. The product of the two pulse signals is integrated to produce a signal whose amplitude and polarity varies with register error. A microprocessor control system detects size and centering errors by measuring register error at different spots on the raster. Before correcting setup errors, the microprocessor verifies that there are adequate level transitions in the imaged scene by methodically adjusting the setup controls over a range of values and noting whether the measured register or size errors change accordingly.

Abstract: In a method of converting a picture signal read out by an image sensor into a binary data, the picture signal is converted into a primary deiayed signal through a primary delay circuit and the primary delayed signal is then converted into a secondary converted signal through a secondary delay circuit. The picture signal and the secondary delayed signal are compared and either one of these signals, which has a level smaller than that of the other signal, is selected. The upper and the lower levels of the thus selected signal are limited and the selected signal with the upper and lower limits is utilized as a threshold with respect to the primary signal to convert the picture signal into the binary data.
