Patent EP-1634094-A4 (EP)
Title: Real-time multistage infrared image-based tracking system
Inventor: OLSON TERESA LORAE PACE
IPC: G01S/
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A multi-stage infrared (IR) image-based tracking system is provided that accurately identifies and tracks targets across a variety of different situations and environmental conditions. The system includes primary and secondary trackers. The secondary tracker supports the primary tracker by identifying and tracking targets when the primary tracker loses or fails to identify one or more targets, and helps the primary tracker reacquire valid targets. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the primary tracker is a correlation-based tracker, and the secondary tracker is a feature-based tracker. A prescreener is also included, which operates concurrently with the correlation-based and feature-based trackers to generate a list of possible targets. The list can be used to provide a confidence level for the probable targets identified by each of the primary and secondary trackers.

Title: Grass cutter.
Inventor: RAYMOND RICHARD O
IPC: A01D34/64
Filed: 1987-05-12
Abstract: A two wheeled mowing and trimming apparatus is disclosed. A rotating cutting head, positioned out in front of the wheels, can be positioned adjacent to either of the wheels while at the same time being tilted. Control of the cutting head's position is maintained through the use of a handle which allows the operator to tilt the frame. In response to the tilting of the frame the wheels are turned and the apparatus can then be positioned to travel in a direction parallel with a fence or building. With the wheels turned, the vegetation existing along the outside edge of the wheel closest to the structure can be trimmed. Also the cutting head is angled downwardly as a result of the tilting of the frame so that the vegetation can be cut close to the ground.
Patent EP-0372073-A4 (EP)
Title: Transmission controller
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1988-06-24
Abstract: When a speed is to be changed, a transmission controller of the present invention judges a load, the quantity of a remaining oil in each transmission clutch (F, R, 1-4) and a speed change path, from which stage to which stage, and changes an electrical instruction pattern to be applied to pressure control valves (51-56) for required transmission clutches in accordance with the result of this judgement so that the speed change can be made always smoothly irrespective of a driving condition. The electrical instruction (C1-C4) to be applied to each pressure control valve (51-56) is compared with an output current (I1-I6) of a drive circuit and with the output (S1-S6) of clutch pressure detection means (101-106) and clutch abnormality is detected on the basis of the result of this comparison. When abnormality is detected, suitable measures are taken to reliably prevent double engagement of clutch.

Abstract: Lorsque l'on indique le point de départ (Ps) d'un profil/forme (OLF), un ensemble d'éléments graphiques (Ca1 ~ Ca4) ayant en commun ce point de départ (Ps) en tant que points terminaux est déterminé. Le sens de déplacement du profil/forme (OLF) à partir du point de départ (Ps) est représenté et indiqué sélectivement par une flèche (ARW) pour déterminer le premier élément (Ca1) du profil/forme (OLF), et on détermine le point d'intersection entre ce premier élément (Ca1) et un élément graphique (C1) situé plus en avant dans le sens de déplacement. Si le point d'intersection ainsi déterminé est unique, il devient le point terminal du premier élément du profil/forme (OLF); s'il existe une pluralité de points, le point terminal du premier élément du profil/forme (OLF) est sélectionné et déterminé parmi ces points d'intersection (P1, P2). L'élément suivant du profil/forme (OLF) est déterminé de manière séquentielle par l'utilisation du point terminal (Pe1) du premier élément du profil/forme (OLF) comme nouveau point de départ et le profil/forme est finalement défini.

Abstract: A sensor (1) for gaseous and vaporous species is disclosed. The sensor (1) comprises an electrically insulated substrate (10) which contains small pores passing completely through it. Electrodes (20) consisting of metallic or semiconductor material are deposited onto the top surface (22) of the substrate. In a first embodiment of the invention, an electrolyte (30) is placed on the top surface (22) of the substrate (1) in such a manner as to create a gas or vapor permeable electrolyte layer (30) on top of the electrodes (20).

Title: Thermal fluid heat exchanger for deep fat fryer
Inventor: GUNAWARDENA RAMESH M
IPC: A47J37/12
Filed: 1993-10-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal fluid fryer which essentially contains an oil-filled cooking channel disposed within a fryer tank support frame, in which the product to be fried is conveyed through the channel on a continuous food conveyor belt. The oil is heated indirectly by at least one heat-exchanger unit disposed substantially vertically in the channel. The heat-exchanger unit has an inlet manifold and an exit manifold, wherein a thermal fluid enters the heat-exchanger unit at the inlet manifold and exits through the exit manifold. The thermal fluid is heated to a higher temperature than the surrounding oil, and imparts its thermal energy to it efficiently by means of the heat exchanger unit. In this configuration, the temperature range distribution of the fryer oil inside the fryer vat is minimized from side to side and along the length thereof.
