IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 1986-09-01
Granted: 1988-11-24
Abstract: A process for forming paint panel color standards, in which a multiplicity of panels are painted and marked with a man/machine readable ID number, comprises:(1) electronically determining the ID number of each panel, measuring each panel color coordinate values, and feeding this information to a computer which establishes criteria for various panel quality standards;(2) sorting the panels by electronically determining panelID number and feeding the number to the computer which signals a robot to place the panel with a group of panels having the same quality standard.

Title: Apparatus for detecting enuresis in a patient
Inventor: SMITH TOBY E
IPC: G01N27/04
Filed: 2000-07-21
Granted: 2003-11-13
Abstract: This invention relates generally to patient monitoring systems and more particularly concerns devices and systems used to monitor bed patients in hospital or other care-giving environments. In accordance with a first aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a wetness detector for use in patient monitoring situations and which is adjustable in its degree of sensitivity to wetness. It contains at least two conductive regions placed on a non-conductive base and which are preferably separated laterally by some distance. Isolated electrical leads are attached to each conductive region. Electrical current passes much more readily between the two conductive regions when an electrolytic solution such as urine is present within the switch, thereby making it possible for a separate electronic monitor to determine when wetness is detected.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating phosphine
Inventor: BANKS HENRY JONATHAN
IPC: C01B25/00
Filed: 1994-08-31
Granted: 1995-08-10
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU91/00264 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 11, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 11, 1993 PCT Filed Jun. 21, 1991 PCT Pub. No. W091/19671 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 26, 1991Phosphine is generated by the reaction of water with a metal phosphide formulation. In one embodiment, the formulation is within a housing closed by a membrane which is permeable to water and phosphine. A water-containing gas flows across the membrane and water from the gas permeates into the housing to react with the phosphide, producing phosphine which also permeates through the membrane to enter the gas flow. Two membranes may be used to close the housing, one permeable to water, the other permeable to phosphine. A blanking plate and phosphine absorber may be included to control the phosphine production. In a second embodiment, pellets of a phosphide formulation are transferred, periodically, from a hopper to a chamber containing water. The transfer is effected by a disc member mounted below the hopper and above the chamber. The disc member has at least one aperture in it, within which pellets are transported from the hopper outlet to an inlet port of the chamber. Control of the phosphine production is supplemented by varying the water temperature and by using a safety arrangement adapted to supply a purge gas to the generator. The safety arrangement utilises a reservoir of the purge gas (usually dry air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide) at high pressure, established prior to the operation of the phosphine generator. If the electrical power supply to the generator fails, or if the gas pressure or the phosphine concentration in the generator is too high, a valve opens to let the purge gas flow from the reservoir into the generator.

Title: System and method for generating pixel values
Inventor: GRABENSTEIN MARTIN
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 1998-06-23
Granted: 2003-05-01
Abstract: A computer graphics system generates pixel values for pixels in an image of objects in a scene, using strictly-deterministic low-discrepancy sequences, illustratively Halton sequences, as sample points for evaluating integrals which are used to simulate a number of computer graphic techniques. The computer graphics system uses the low-discrepancy sequence to ensure that the sample points are evenly distributed over a respective region or time interval, thereby reducing error in the image which can result from clumping of such sample points which can occur in the Monte Carlo technique. In particular, the invention facilitates the generation of images of improved quality when using the same number of sample points at the same computational cost as in the Monte Carlo technique.

Granted: 1995-06-15
Abstract: A header assembly for an internal combustion engine including a pair of header pipes having discharge ends, a collector mounted on the discharge ends and having a housing directing exhaust gas pulses from both of the pipes to an outlet. The collector is formed to produce the flow of exhaust pulses in a manner fluid coupling out-of-phase exhaust gas pulses in each of the pipes to the others by an amount sufficient to increase horsepower of the engine at substantially all normal operating speeds. The header pipes proximate the inlet to the header collector are formed for discharge of gases along a common interface or boundary of substantial transverse length to effect fluid coupling. Additionally, the collector is free of channeling or protrusions to permit unconstrained transverse expansion of the pulses across the adjacent header pipe. A method of increasing engine horsepower by fluid coupling together header pipes also is described.

Title: Flow measurement instruments with non linear cam transmission - allows accurate readings for low flow rates by means of stepped profile
IPC: G01F15/06
Filed: 1968-10-08
Abstract: The cam is shaped in a non linear helical format and a lever driven by the disc drives the indicator on the instrument. The non linear shape of the disc takes account of the non linear flow law. At the point on the cam corresponding to low flow rates, a series of steps is cut, each step being on the circumference of a different circle concentric with the disc shaft and the inter step contours being radii of those circles. The step size is dictated by the resolution, or smallest reading expected of the instrument. The lever arm is shaped to travel up or down this "staircase" in a discrete manner in the sensitive area, and the main causes of inaccurate readings are removed.

Title: Magnetic drive for clock mechanism - has three limb magnet with over and under pitching relative to escapement wheel teeth pitch
IPC: H02K7/065
Filed: 1968-12-19
Abstract: The magnetic watch drive includes an escapement wheel which has outer (11) and inner (12) sets of teeth evenly pitched. At each side of the wheel is a three limbed magnet (7) whose limbs (15a, 15b, 15c) are spaced one pair slightly over (P1) and one pair slightly under (P2) an integral multiple of the tooth pitch (P) on the wheel. The magnet arrangement gives self starting and also ensures stable isochronous running without the need for very special slot shapes and pitchings on the wheel. Typical spacings of the limbs deviate from the wheel slot pitch by between 10% and 20%.

Title: Self lifting clamping plate for screw terminals - is pre-shaped in prodn. to cause deformation on screw tightening
IPC: H01R4/34
Filed: 1971-12-16
Abstract: During prodn. of the clamping plate for switchgear screw terminals it is so pre-shaped that on screwing down the terminal a deformation takes place which causes the self-lifting. Prior to perforation of the plate a diametral sharp indentation is impressed over the hole position. After perforation two opposite, comb-shaped raised configurations remain at the hole, which are later pressed into the hole by the tightened screw head, thus forming a restriction. During the perforation the upper side of the plate may be levelled downwards, forming a crater which may be restricted by the tightened screw head.

Title: Door or window lock tumbler sets - have individual plates with two rib-like protrusions for low-friction contact between adjacent plates
IPC: E05B15/14
Filed: 1972-02-24
Abstract: The sets of tumbler plates which operate the lock system in conjunction with the key bits, have a surface configuration which tends to reduce friction between adjacent tumbler plates during the operation of the lock system. The individual plate (1) have ribs (5) pressed into their surfaces. The two ribs (5) are parallel and fitted on the same side of the plate. When two plates are placed together the ribs (5) produce a gap (7) between the two adjacent plate surfaces. The plates can be placed either with the dished rib surfaces touching in which case these surfaces are the contact surfaces with low friction losses, while end parts (1) and (8) show a gap. If the plates are pladed with the concave sides of the ribs (5) against each other, the contacting surfaces are along parts (1) and (8).
