Abstract: Optical sensing systems and methods for detecting target characteristics are disclosed. An optical sensing system can detect target motion within a known environment. A laser source, such as a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, has at least two laser signal emission apertures. At least one detector is operationally responsive to laser signals. A motion analysis module cooperates with a microprocessor to determine motion characteristics of an objected detected within said environment. A laser source emits at least two laser signals into an environment occupied by a target, said at least one detector detects changes in said at least two laser signals after said signals pass through said environment and interfere with a detected object, and said microprocessor determines target characteristics based on said signals received by said detector and input from said motion analysis module, at least one detector, which is operationally responsive to the laser source.

Abstract: An assemblage of reference points arranged in a distorted pattern of rows and columns over a planar surface is used to precisely establish the coordinates of a particular situs on said surface by determining the location between said situs in relation to three of said reference points. The array is particularly useful in ascertaining the reference location of a swiveling coordinate measuring arm or other such spatial measuring device. A three-dimensional reference point array can be constructed from a similarly distributed matrix of reference points arranged in orthogonally-oriented layers of rows and columns. Positioning the probe of the measuring device over three closely located reference points is sufficient to automatically load the exact coordinates of the measuring device location into an associated data processing system.

exhaust gases to remove CO therefrom, and is characterized by comprising the step
of bringing the exhaust gases into contact with a catalyst layer at a temperature of
250 to 600 °C, a pressure drop of not more than 100 mmH 2 O, and a linear velocity of
0.5 to 10 m/s, wherein the catalyst layer includes a honeycomb-structural catalyst

Abstract: A carboxyl group-containing acrylic rubber composition
is adapted for vulcanization and/or use in contact with PET
yarns, contains 1 to 15 phr of a metal-chelated guanidine
compound, and contains no guanidine compound, or not more than
0.9 phr of a guanidine compound. A heat-resistant hose has
a rubber layer formed from the acrylic rubber composition and
a layer of PET yarns contacting it. In the heat-resistant hose
made by using a carboxyl group-containing acrylic rubber, it
is possible to prevent any deterioration of PET yarns caused
by a commonly used vulcanization promotor without impairing
the outstanding properties of acrylic rubber. Thus, it is
possible to use an inexpensive and commonly used reinforcing

Abstract: A switching-controlling section turns ON one of a transfer gate for high voltages
or a transfer gate for low voltages and subsequently turns ON the other one of the
transfer gates according to the outputs from the data latches only when the outputs from
data latches are different from each other. Source lines are sequentially connected to a
capacitor element for high voltages or a capacitor element for low voltages. For those
source lines in which applied voltages change in a previous period and a subsequent
period, an electric charge is stored and supplied effectively and power consumption is
reduced, whereas for those source lines in which the applied voltages do not change,
retained voltages do not vary so power is not consumed when subsequent voltages are
applied. Power consumption in a liquid crystal panel driving device is reduced, and the
time required for storing and supplying an electric charge is shortened. The circuit
scale is also reduced.
