Patent EP-0650036-B1 (EP)
Inventor: POWERS JEFFRY E

Abstract: A velocity estimation technique is provided for a pulse-echo ultrasonic diagnostic system in which a two dimensional array of samples is acquired from a sample volume. The two dimensions of the array are depth, in which echo signal samples are acquired in response to transmission of a pulse to the sample volume, and pulse time, in which samples are acquired in response to transmission of the pulses in the pulse ensemble to the sample volume. Two autocorrelation calculations are performed on the array, one in the depth dimension and another in the pulse time dimension to yield two correlation functions, the first related to echo frequency and the second related to the Doppler frequency. The two correlation functions are then employed in a Doppler velocity estimation to determine the velocity of motion at the sample volume. The technique utilizes the full information content present in the bandwidth of the received echo signals, thereby overcoming inaccuracies due to depth dependent frequency decline or coherent signal cancellation. Since accuracy is premised upon the number of samples in the array and not its size in a particular dimension, performance can be tailored to favor frame rate or axial resolution while maintaining the accuracy of velocity estimation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting NRZ data signals across an interface comprising an isolation barrier disposed between two devices interconnected via a bus. The apparatus comprises a signal differentiator for receiving an NRZ data signal and outputting a differentiated signal. A driver comprising a tri-state gate has as a first input the data signal and as a second input the differentiated signal for enabling the tri-state gate when the differentiated signal is high. A bias voltage is applied to an output of the tri-state gate to derive as output a transmission signal for transmission via the bus accross the interface between the two devices. In this way, the transmission signal output from the first device comprises an intermediate transmission signal corresponding to the bias voltage when the tri-state gate is disabled, a hight transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is high, and a low transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is low. A Schmidt trigger is provided as a receiver in the second device for receiving as input the transmission signal and outputting a reconstituted data signal corresponding to the synchronized data signal.

Abstract: Système de poursuite et de localisation de véhicules utilisant des stations de contrôle intégrées placées aux carrefours et associées à des caméras de surveillance. Une station de contrôle intégrée, à laquelle sont transmises des informations concernant la position des véhicules ainsi que les schémas d'exploitation le concernant, calcule si le véhicule est à l'heure ou non et le signale à l'interface conducteur. Le conducteur peut alors si nécessaire demander que le système signale (via un réseau externe de transmission) une situation d'alarme ou d'urgence au centre régulateur. Ledit réseau peut également transmettre la situation (position et état) du véhicule. Une compagnie de transport recourant au système peut fournir aux véhicules qui sont équipés en conséquence les schémas d'exploitation quotidiens à l'aide d'un dispositif de transfert portatif. Les stations de contrôle intégrées communiquent également avec le réseau d'informations du véhicule pour lui transmettre la position du véhicule.

Date Feb. 16, 1995Materials, for example, plant-based food products, are subjected to heat and pressure in a processing enclosure, wherein the pressure is greater than the pressure of the atmosphere. The heated, pressurized materials are then subjected to a pressure-reduction phase during which the pressure in the processing enclosure is reduced at a rate greater than 500 millibars per second and by an amplitude greater than 1 bar. The rapid pressure-reduction phase of the invention contributes to the production of processed materials having a slightly spongy structure that is due to the presence of micro-cavities that promote the recapture of subsequent moisture.

Abstract: Spreading rolls are used in conjunction with, e.g., finishing equipment of paper mills to assure sufficient and constant cross-machine tension for the web running over guide rolls. Spreading is required due to web width variations caused by the coating, drying and calendering steps. A spreading roll comprises a curved shaft with its radius of curvature vector aligned in the machine direction and rotary driven roll segments mounted in bearings on the shaft. The roll segments are coupled to each other and they are driven about the shaft by a synchronous belt drive. The curvedness of the shaft complicates the design of a synchronous belt drive, and hence, the present invention concerns such a synchronous belt drive assembly for a web spreading roll that is free from angular nonalignment between the driving and the driven toothed pulley. The invention is based on mounting the driven toothed pulley in bearings on the bearing housing of the curved spreading roll shaft and then coupling the pulley with the outermost roll segment using a flexible coupling. <IMAGE>
