Patent GB-201208289-D0 (GB)
Title: An apparatus and associated method for measuring a series resistance
IPC: G01R31/50
Filed: 2012-05-11
Abstract: An unknown series resistance 160a,b in a circuit, such as a fire alarm circuit, is measured by: connecting the circuit to a charged capacitor 211; measuring the voltage across the load terminals 301a,b; forcing a known current through the circuit and, whilst forcing the known current, measuring the voltage across the load at two points in time; using these measured voltages to derive, by extrapolation, the voltage across the load at an earlier time at which current was being forced across the load; determining the difference between the derived voltage at the earlier point in time and the voltage when no current is forced across the load; and using this difference and the known current to determine the unknown series resistance. The method may be implemented by an end of line device 300. The capacitor may be connected across the terminals of a power supply to which the circuit is connected 110.

Abstract: An assessment apparatus 1 for determining the body condition of an animal comprises a plurality of protrusions typically in the form or ridges 3 and grooves 4 configured on a planar surface 2 to provide a tactile representation for comparison with the feel of the ribs of the animal when palpating the rib cage. Each of the ridges 3 protrudes to a different extent to represent a different possible body condition of the animal and to help determine whether it is of optimum condition, underweight or overweight and carrying excess body fat. A scale 5 with indication 6 may be provided. Different measuring gauge templates may be provided for different species or breeds of animals.

Patent GB-201217299-D0 (GB)
Title: A shredding machine
Filed: 2007-08-02
Abstract: A shredding machine for domestic or office use having a feed passage 3 leading to a cutting mechanism 10, 11 powered by an electric motor 19, has a thickness measuring /gauging device 15 for measuring the thickness of bundles of paper fed through the feed passage 3 and the machine is controlled by a microprocessor which receives signals from the thickness measuring device 15 and prevents the cutting mechanism 10, 11 from being energised if the thickness measured is above a threshold determined by the microprocessor. Device 15 may be deactivated during shredding (see figure 8 stages 441 and 443) so that any paper which ripples or flaps during shredding within passage 3 does not cause arm 17 or probe 300 (figure 6) to move and thereby cause false thickness readings. Furthermore, the microprocessor varies the threshold in accordance with a sensed variable parameter such as electrical supply voltage, the electric motor temperature and the electric current drawn by the motor during a previous shredding operation, so that the maximum thickness the shredder will accept can be reduced automatically when motor temperature increases or as the effectiveness of the machine deteriorates throughout its working life.

Title: Networked computing environment
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2012-10-04
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for using electronic feeds (e.g., online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc.) to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss. In a typical embodiment, a set of electronic feeds (e.g., news feeds and/or social networking website feeds) is accessed. A query is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. A set of results is received in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results (e.g., a quantity of 'hits') meets one or more predetermined event criteria (e.g., a predetermined threshold).

Title: Method and circuit for the partial correction in colour image reproduction
Inventor: KLIE JURGEN
IPC: G03F3/08
Filed: 1980-09-10
Granted: 1984-12-20
Abstract: In the method for improving the drawing in colour image reproduction by partial electronic retouching, the trichromatic sampling of a colour component of the colour image provides the trichromatic components which are subjected to an analog/digital conversion and stored in the memory (1). With a coordinate probe (50, 51, 52), a retoucher will proceed in the same way as with a retouching brush. By means of the probe, the coordinates of a moving area on the image (surface of the brush) of a trichromatic component to be retouched as well as the number of correction steps by image point will be searched. For the marked correction area the corrections will be calculated point by point. The trichromatic components of the coloured image or of a coloured printing will be read in the memory (1) and modified to obtain the retouching effect under the control of a monitor (2). The individual values of the corrections for each correction step may be freely selected. By previously determining the modifications so that they decrease from the center towards the edges of the image (for example according to the Gauss distribution), there will be provided in the retouching area a retouching degree which increases or decreases progressively.

Patent DE-3461564-D1 (DE)
Title: Measurement device
Inventor: SCHMITT WALTER ING GRAD
IPC: G01D5/249
Filed: 1984-01-24
Granted: 1987-01-15
Abstract: A measuring system includes reference marks provided in the measuring direction alongside the graduation of the scale. These reference marks are absolutely allocated to the graduation and are used to generate reproduceable control pulses. For the identification of each reference mark there is serially allocated to each reference mark a code mark which is made up of code mark segments. The code mark segments follow one upon the other without gaps in the measuring direction, and each includes a homogeneously continuous surface or zone. These code mark segments are arranged in correspondence to their coded information, offset parallel to one another transversely to the measuring direction and are scanned by a scanning field which is integrated in the scanning field used to scan the reference marks. This gapless arrangement of the code mark segments prevents interference with the scanning of the reference marks.

Granted: 1988-07-14
Abstract: A nozzle assembly for extruding a tube has an outer housing sleeve having an inner surface centered on an axis and having an axially forwardly directed front end and a core formed of attached-together front, intermediate, and rear core ports. The front core part lies within the sleeve at the front end thereof and forms with the inner housing surface an annular axially forwardly open extrusion passage. The intermediate core part lies within the sleeve axially behind the front core part and is formed with a pair of grooves opening radially outward into the passage and each defined by a respective annular rear face extending generally perpendicular to the axis, a respective annular front face confronting the rear face and extending generally perpendicular to the axis, and a heart-shaped annular surface axially bridging the respective faces, facing radially forward, and having a portion forming a radially forwardly directed point. The rear core part lies within the sleeve axially behind the intermediate core part and axially rearwardly closes the passage. At least one feed passage in the rear and intermediate core parts serves for feeding a mass to be extruded under pressure to the grooves at locations therein generally diametrally opposite the respective points. Each of the grooves has its region of greatest radial depth at the respective location and the feed passage opens radially into the grooves.

Title: Hydraulic jack with limited travel
Inventor: PESTOURIE CLAUDE
IPC: B66F3/32
Filed: 1984-11-26
Granted: 1988-10-27
Abstract: The hydraulic jack has an inner cylinder (2) which houses a piston (4) fitted with a lip seal (5). The piston has a limited axial movement on the extension (17) of the piston rod (6). A flat sealing ring (21) is fitted in an annular groove on the upper face of the piston. A passageway (23,24) connects the upper end of the inner cylinder (2) with the reserve tank (13) formed by the outer cylinder (11). When the piston reaches the top of its stroke, its upper face abuts against the shoulder (27) of the end cover (8). Any further rise in pressure in the cylinder (2) moves the piston rod relative to the piston. Oil in the inner cylinder can then flow through the piston rod clearance (18) over the sealing ring (21) and out through the passage into the outer cylinder thus relieving the pressure in the inner cylinder.
