Abstract: The invention concerns a method for regulating the temperature of an adjustable-crown roll. The roll mantle (12) arranged revolving on the stationary axle (11) of the roll (10) is loaded by passing a pressure medium into a pressure chamber (15) or series of chambers formed between the axle (11) and the mantle (12) so as to correct the deflection of the roll mantle (12). The roll (10) is additionally heated/cooled by passing heating/cooling fluid into the roll (10). The heating/cooling fluid used for the regulation of the temperature of the roll (10) is introduced into the roll (10) as substantially uniformly distributed over the areas of the roll (10) in which heat is removed/produced in the radial direction of the roll. The heating­/cooling fluid is passed into the pressure chamber (15) in the roll (10), in which case, by its means, pressurization of said chamber (15) is also carried out, and/or into the unpressurized chamber (16) of the roll (10), in which case the function of the fluid is ex­clusively regulation of the temperature. The invention further concerns a regulation system intended for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A computer-based message passing system (100) for communicating messages between application processes. A bulletin board memory (118, 124) receives data descriptive of a location and a status of each of a plurality of application processes (102, 106). An administrative monitor (142, 144) provides the data to the memory and monitors any data in the memory. A communications process (148, 152) communicates a message from one application process to another on request, under supervision of the administrative monitor. The memory saves a message that has been directed to an inactive application process and the communications process sends the saved message to its destination application process after the process has become active. The monitor has the ability to reactivate an inactive application process without manipulating any configuration table. The system includes several subroutines, among them a broadcast subroutine (200) for broadcasting the status and location of a newly activated application process and a broadcast-off subroutine (600) for broadcasting the termination of an application process.

Abstract: A stabilized power supply circuit for use in a television receiver is disclosed. At least two SCRs (107, 111) are connected in series and forward between a non-stabilized DC voltage generating circuit (105) and a horizontal output circuit (101) serving as load. OFF timing of the SCRs is controlled in response to horizontal collector pulses generated from horizontal output circuit (101). Increasing the number of the SCRs connected in series with an increase in level of the non-stabilized DC voltage suppresses an increase in maximum values of currents flowing through the SCRs. Thus, the SCRs are turned off in a short time, avoiding the occurrence of erroneous operations caused by a delay in the OFF timing.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for producing segmentations of images which contain text. The general approach is to locate a first set of components which contain text characters, locate a second set of components which do not contain text characters, sort the second set using a characteristic shape, make a cover set from the sorted second set, and use the cover set to locate the portions of the image which contain text. An embodiment is disclosed in which the method is applied to texts employing the Manhattan layout to locate columns of text. In the embodiment, parts of the image which do not contain text are located by constructing maximum empty rectangles which do not contain characters. Based on the observation that columns in Manhattan layouts are separated by rectangles with a high aspect ratio, the maximum empty rectangles are sorted in a manner which favors such rectangles to produce the cover set. Also disclosed are methods for locating maximum empty rectangles defined by points and for locating maximum empty rectangles defined by rectangles containing characters.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for adjusting the video display controls in a multi-frequency video display include an EEPROM that stores multiple sets of video display parameters for the video display. A microcontroller receives input from a user, changes the stored display parameters and outputs changes in the parameters to the video display. The microcontroller also controls video display apparatus that displays on-screen menus and value indicator graphs for facilitating user input. The video display apparatus incorporates a video clock synchronized to the horizontal synchronization signal of the multi-frequency display, to keep the displayed menus synchronized regardless of the current frequency. In addition, the video display apparatus elongates displayed characters at higher frequencies to control the absolute size of displayed characters across frequencies. The present invention provides for changes to video display parameters, and for resetting the display parameters to factory standards, without manipulating electromechanical devices such as potentiometers.

Abstract: In a signal processing apparatus and method, original two-phase signals each having the possibility of amplitude fluctuation are received by an input portion. From the original two-phase signals received by the input portion, new two-phase signals are formed by a signal processing portion. The signal processing portion forms an intermediate stage two-phase signal and a phase component eliminated signal having the phase components of the original signals eliminated therefrom in parallel from the original two-phase signals, and eliminates the fluctuation component of amplitude by the offsetting process of respective ones of the two-phase signals and the phase component eliminated signal to thereby form the new two-phase signals. The new two-phase signals have a predetermined phase relation with the original two-phase signals. The new two-phase signals are output from an output portion. This specification also discloses a displacement detecting apparatus using such signal processing apparatus.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is fluid meters having an impeller, especially water meters installed vertically. In order to reduce the bearing friction and increase the measuring sensitivity, the specific weights of the impeller (10), of the wheels (32, 33, 34) of the reduction gear and/or the counter (35) are initially matched to the specific weight of the measuring fluid. Furthermore, the centres of gravity of the impeller (10), the wheels (32, 33, 34) of the reduction gear and/or the counter (35) are set exactly in the middle between the respective bearing points. This purpose is served, for example, by closed cavities (41) increasing the positive lift or additional weights (40) increasing the negative lift. In order to set the centre of gravity, these can be displaced along the shaft (11) of the impeller (10) or the shafts of the wheels (32, 33, 34) of the reduction gear or the counter (35). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device is proposed for screwing together two articles, especially for screwing a screw-on closure (1) onto a container (3), in the case of which device the screw-on closure is screwed onto the container (3) by being driven in a rotary manner by an electric motor (31). The torque imparted to the container (3) is measured by means of a torque sensor (45). A control unit (39) controls the rotating speed of the electric motor (31) in dependence on the measured torque according to a predetermined functional relationship which makes it possible essentially to reduce the rotating speed to zero when it approximates a desired torque value. The rotating speed of the electric motor is preferably reduced in proportion to the difference between the desired torque and the measured torque. <IMAGE>
