Patent EP-1245287-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SOLDWISH-ZOOLE TRENTON L
IPC: G05D11/13
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: A method of reblending sand in a classification tank (10) having
multiple stations (14A-J) and discharge valves (16A-C) within each station
includes the steps of delivering sand to the tank (10); calibrating the tank to
analyze the raw feed material and develop discharge rates, flow multipliers,
and a mathematical model of the tank; and inputting a specification or quantity
and sieve size distribution for a reblended sand product into a computer (20) for
controlling the tank (10). Then the tank (10) is operated in a production mode
and the discharge valves (16A-C) at each station of the tank (10) are adjusted by
the computer (20) for percent open time and discharge rate. With one
algorithm, the computer (20) identifies which station (14A-J) has the most of a
sieve size that is out of specification and diverts material at that station by
closing the appropriate discharge valve(s) (16A-C). In another algorithm
especially adapted to minimize fines, the computer (20) begins with the station
(14A-J) most remote from the inlet and diverts material by repeatedly reducing
the valve (16A-C) open percentage of the appropriate valve (16A-C) at that
station (14A-J) by a given amount until the specification is met or the valve
(16A-C) is always closed. Once the valve (16A-C) is always closed, the
computer (20) moves a station (14A-J) closer to the inlet and repeats the
process. Once a primary product is being produced to specification, the same
algorithm can be used to control the production of a secondary product.

Abstract: To provide an automatic lens meter having a simple structure and exhibiting
excellent accuracy of measurement an automatic lens meter comprises an optical system
in which a pattern image is formed by projection of a pattern created in a pattern
creating member and measuring optical properties of a lens for examination based on
information on displacement of the pattern image from a position in absence of a lens
for examination in a path of rays in the optical system to a position in presence of a lens
for examination in the path of rays. As the image sensor (10) for detecting the position of
the pattern image, four line sensors (10a,10b,10c and 10d) disposed on a pattern image
forming plane and arranged in a shape of a cross are used. The pattern creating member (5)
forms a pattern image having a quadrangular shape on the pattern image forming plane
and each line sensor intersects a side of the quadrangle.

Abstract: According to a method of producing a key top for a pushbutton
switch of the present invention, a base layer(2,12,22,32,42,52)
made of an insulating resin that can be plated with metal, an
electroless plating layer(4,14,24,34,44a,54a) to be formed on the
surface of the base layer (2,12,22,32,42,52), and a polymer coating
layer(3,13,23,33,43,53), if required, are stacked on the surface

electroplating layer(44b,54b) formed by electroplating is further
formed on the electroless plating layer(4,14,24,34,44a,54a).
Therefore, a plating layer can be directly and easily formed on the
insulating resin, whereby a key top for a pushbutton switch having
a sensation of metal and being rich in design is obtained.

and a disk array (DA). The disk adapter (DKA) of the
disk controller (DKC) is connected to the disk array
(DA) through switches (SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4). Data on a
channel (D11, D12, D13, D14) between the switch (SW1)
and a RAID group (R1) is multiplexed in the switch
(SW1) to be transferred onto a channel (D01) between
the switch (SW1) and the disk adapter (DKA) and data on
the channel (D01) between the switch (SW1) and the disk
adapter (DKA) is demultiplexed in the switch (SW1) to
be transferred onto the channel (D11, D12, D13, D14)

Abstract: An information processing system that can reduce its power consumption by means of robust power controlling even upon occurrence of an interruption/exception processing. If it is found that there is no task set in the ready state as a result of watching the number of tasks set in the ready state by the RTOS or ready state watching task, the system controls the RTOS or ready state watching task so as to lower the power while the current active task controls the power according to the preset WCET of each application slice. On the contrary, if there is any task set in the ready state, the system controls so as to raise the power and the current active task comes to control the power according to the virtual WCET that is earlier than the WCET of each application slice. And, if there is no task set in the ready state and there is no current active task, the system controls so that the RTOS or both of the ready state watching task and sleep task lower the power. This is why the present invention can reduce the power consumption of the subject information processing system.
