Title: Improved method for determining topline and baseline of waveforms using differentiation
IPC: G01R13/30
Filed: 1990-01-30
Abstract: An improved method of finding the topline and 
baseline of a digitized waveform entails smoothing the 
original waveform, taking the derivative of the 
smoothed waveform to produce a derivative waveform, 
smoothing the derivative waveform, identifying the 
most important peaks in the smoothed derivative 
waveform, locating the points where these important 
peaks cross a threshold, for each crossing point 
recording in a table whether it was crossing the 
positive threshold or the negative threshold and 
whether it was crossing that threshold in a 
positive-going direction or a negative-going 
direction, and then using the information in this 
table to classify all of the points on the original 
waveform into one of the following seven categories: 
ignore points, topline points, topline-end points, 
topline-begin points, baseline points, baseline-end 
points, or baseline-begin points. Then, the topline 
value is calculated by averaging the points in the 
topline group unless there are none, in which case 
averaging the points in the topline-end group and/or 
the topline-begin group unless there are none in 
either of these groups, in which case the maximum 
value of the whole waveform is used as the topline 
value. The baseline value is calculated by an 
analogous procedure.

To improve the working conditions of the ice-cream and
reduce wear on the paddles, at least some of the smearing
parts have a bowed shape in a section perpendicular to
the stirrer axis of rotation, with radius and/or centre
of curvature different from those of the side-walls of the
freezing cylinder, so as to define with the latter a
wedge-shaped passage for the mixture, with a decreasing
section from entrance to exit. In this way an
alternating smearing and scraping of the mixture being
treated, respectively off and onto the refrigerated side-walls,
is carried out with a phase of progressive
mechanical crushing of the mixture in the wedge-shaped
space between the rotating stirring paddle and the side-wall
of the freezing cylinder.

Abstract: A movable scroll element for a scroll type
compressor is produced by a combination of a mold casting
process and a machining process. The mold casting process
produces a cast product having an end-plate forming portion,
a spiral-member-forming portion and a projecting portion for
forming a drive power receiving portion. The cast product
has an entire outer faces covered with black scale, and the
machining process machines the end-plate-forming portion, a
spiral member forming portion, the projecting portion by
cutting. Nevertheless, at least an outer circumference of
the drive power receiving portion, i.e., a boss portion of
the movable scroll element is covered with an outermost
layer consisting of black scale. Thus, a sufficient
mechanical strength of the movable scroll element is
obtained even if the wall thickness of the drive power
receiving portion, i.e., the boss portion of the movable
scroll element, is reduced.

Abstract: A stream of precooled and purified air is introduced through an inlet 2 into a double rectification column comprising a higher pressure rectification column 4 and a lower pressure rectification column 6 and is separated therein into an oxygen-rich fraction and a nitrogen-rich fraction. A stream of argon-enriched oxygen vapour flows from an outlet 70 of the lower pressure rectification column 6 into a side column 52 in which argon is separated therefrom. An oxygen-enriched liquid air stream is taken from an outlet 16 at the bottom of the higher pressure rectification column 4. A vaporous oxygen-enriched air stream is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column 6 through an inlet 46 above the outlet 70. At least part of the oxygen-enriched liquid is partially reboiled in a reboiler 22 and separated in a further rectification column 28, thereby forming a vapour depleted of oxygen and a liquid air stream further enriched in oxygen. At least one stream of the further-enriched liquid is vaporised to form the oxygen-enriched vapour that is introduced through the inlet 46 into the lower pressure rectification column 6. A part of the oxygen-depleted vapour is condensed and is taken as product or reintroduced into the lower pressure rectification column 6. The partial reboiling in the reboiler 22 is effected by indirect heat exchange with a stream withdrawn through an outlet 200 from an intermediate region of the side column 52. <IMAGE>
