Patent EP-0844488-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COUTTS GLYN A
IPC: G01R33/28
Filed: 1997-11-24
Abstract: A medical instrument, for use in relation to an MR scanner, comprising body portion (3)
having mounted thereon a plurality of positioning elements (6a,6b,6c) each of which comprises a
reservoir (7) containing a liquid (8) and at least two spaced apart tuned MR auxiliary receiver
coils (9a) positioned coaxially with respect to one another and carried by the reservoir, and
means for electrically connecting the said auxiliary coils to separate receiver channels of
the MR scanner. Flux enhancement is used to enable the positioning elements to be
rapidly located without disturbing the magnetisation of the patient and thereby permit the
position of the medical instrument and the image of the patient to be rapidly cycled
between.

Abstract: The lock is normally operated by an actuator (2) which is fed from the main vehicle battery (1). Any failure of supply to the actuator is detected by a microcomputer (3) through a connection to the feeding terminal (6) and the microcomputer then opens an actuator switch (5). A transistor (8) is connected to a reserve battery (7) through an inductance (10) and to earth through a resistance. The transistor is switched on and off by the microcomputer such that energy is alternately fed to the inductance and then to a storage capacitor (9). When the storage capacitor is charged the actuator switch is closed and the storage capacitor operates the lock actuator.

Inventor: BIEMAN LEONARD H
IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 1997-01-15
Abstract: A method and system are provided including an optical head which moves relative to an object at a vision station to scan a projected pattern of imagable electromagnetic radiation across the surface of an object to be inspected at a relatively constant linear rate to generate an imagable electromagnetic radiation signal. In one embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation is light to develop dimensional information associated with the object. The optical head includes at least one projector which projects a grid of lines and an imaging subsystem which includes a trilinear array camera as a detector. The camera and the at least one projector are maintained in fixed relation to each other. Three linear detector elements of the array camera extend in a direction parallel with the grid of lines. The geometry of the optical head is arranged in such a way that each linear detector element picks up a different phase in the grid pattern. As the optical head is scanned across the surface of interest, the detector elements are continuously read out. Depth an each point on the surface is calculated from the intensity reading obtained from each of the detector elements that correspond to the same point on the surface. In this way, the phases of the pattern are calculated from the three intensity readings obtained for each point. In another embodiment, the imagable electromagnetic radiation is polarized and the response of the detector elements is polarization sensitive. The generated images are based on polarization for the surface.

Abstract: Un système de reconnaissance des formes permet de classer des images de formes dans lesquelles la définition de caractéristiques individuelles de la forme peut s'être brouillée. L'image est fractionnée en morceaux, de taille et de forme arbitraires, et diverses combinaisons sont examinées afin de définir celles qui représentent la segmentation la plus probable de la forme dans ses caractéristiques individuelles. Ces dernières sont alors classées, suivant des techniques connues. Et, si l'on utilise un modèle de Markov du deuxième ordre, il n'est plus nécessaire d'examiner toutes les combinaisons possibles de morceaux pour décider des meilleures. Pour mieux dire, l'examen de diverses combinaisons est limité et ce, en fonction d'une information précédemment déterminée, rendant, de ce fait, le procédé plus efficace. La combinaison de multiples probabilités, déterminées de manière indépendante, permet d'améliorer la précision de l'opération dans son ensemble.

IPC: G01N3/28
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring the biaxial shaping behaviour of metal materials, more particularly sheet metal. In the measuring method a flow locus curve comprehensively describing the shaping behaviour of the material is determined by determining the flow limits under tensile and compressive loading of secondary samples of a primary sample previously subjected to at least tensile, but preferably also to compressive loading. Preferably a number of flow locus curves of different preliminary loading of the primary sample are determined for each material. These flow locus curves, completely ascertained by tests, provide the further processor with a reliable ancillary means of selecting a material required for the particular shaping operation.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de communication à débit variable incorporant un traitement et une combinaison de signaux cohérents. Au sein du système receveur (100, 102 et 106), des vecteurs des valeurs de sortie d'un corrélateur de Walsh en phase ou en quadrature de phase (W(i)I et W(i)Q) sont générés pour chaque doigt de Rake au cours de chaque période de symboles de Walsh. On génère des valeurs de référence en-phase et en quadrature de phase (R(i)I et R(i)Q) pour chacun des doigts de Rake en combinant les sorties du corrélateur en-phase et en quadrature de phase des symboles de Walsh les plus probables au cours d'une série de périodes de symboles de Walsh. On détermine les symboles de Walsh les plus probables, symbole après symbole, en additionnant les énergies de sortie du corrélateur de Walsh issues de chaque doigt et en sélectionnant la valeur la plus grande. On projette (116) ensuite les vecteurs des valeurs en-phase et en quadrature de phase sur les valeurs de référence en-phase et en quadrature de phase et on les pondère par l'amplitude de référence. On additionne les vecteurs des valeurs projetées et pondérées en effectuant une combinaison cohérente (118) et l'on utilise les valeurs correspondantes issues des autres doigts de Rake pour produire un vecteur résultant des sorties (120) du corrélateur de Walsh démodulées de manière cohérente. Puis on utilise ces sorties du corrélateur de Walsh démodulées de manière cohérente pour élaborer des décisions pondérées (134, 136) qui sont désentrelacées et décodées selon l'algorithme de Viterbi à décision pondérée.

Abstract: Known is a telecommunication system supporting adding calling party information to a call from a calling subscriber device to a called subscriber device. The called subscriber device comprises call logging means for logging unanswered calls in a date-time-stamp order. If the logging table is full, the oldest and last table entry is dropped from the logging table. This may result in undesired dropping of urgent frequent callers if the called party is absent and many callers having one call unanswered call after the frequent and urgent caller. A telecommunications system is provided wherein per calling subscriber unanswered calls are counted. Logging table entries of frequent callers are updated, a call count value is displayed, and a previous entry is deleted. Frequent unanswered calls may be put on top of the logging table or the logging table may be sorted in a decreasing order of call count numbers.
