Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the remanent noise in a magnetic medium by DC saturation of a region thereof and measurement of the remaining DC magnetization. A conventional magnetic recording transducer may be used to determine the remanent noise. Upon determination, the remanent noise may then be digitized and recorded on the same magnetic medium to thereby "fingerprint" the magnetic medium. This "fingerprint" may then be later used to verify and authenticate the magnetic medium as being an original. In such manner, any magnetic medium, or any object having an associated magnetic medium, may be "fingerprinted" including credit cards, computer programs, compact discs, videotapes, cassette tapes, etc.

Abstract: An error is identified in a video image by calculating frequency-related coefficients for blocks of the image and considering the statistical distribution of said coefficients. The variance of the coefficients is calculated and a block of original image data is concealed if the variance calculated is significantly higher than a stored threshold and/or if said variance calculated is significantly different from variance values derived for similarly positioned blocks within a previous frame. Concealment is effected by selecting image data from a previous frame, displaced in response to transmitted motion vectors.

Date Apr. 27, 1995The invention generally relates to a device for cleaning and accelerating objects which are globular. In particular the invention relates to a device for cleaning golf balls with a high throughput of balls. Devices of this kind are mainly used on golf courses for practice operations as for that purpose, on the one hand, a great number of golf balls is used and, on the other hand, the balls get dirty when they touch the soil or have contact with very short grass residues, which result from the cutting of the greens. Especially the dirt sticking between the dimples of the golf balls, which might dry and become hard, leads to an extremely negative influence on the flight properties of the golf balls. In order to guarantee smooth and economic practice operations, a device of this kind must ensure a high degree of cleaning power as well as a high throughput of balls.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for obtaining rheological information about a fluid using nuclear magnetic resonance is disclosed herein. A fluid flowing through a tube is subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance imaging signals to obtain the velocity profile of the fluid. The pressure gradient between two points along the tube is also obtained. The shear rate is then determined from the velocity profile, and the shear stress is determined from the pressure gradient. From a single velocity profile, data is obtained over shear rates ranging from zero at the center of the tube to the maximum shear rate at the tube wall. Alternatively, the velocity spectrum can be obtained and used in the same manner. The shear stress versus shear rate curve can thereby be obtained from a single nuclear magnetic resonance image taken at a specific value of the pressure gradient.

Abstract: A method is provided for multiplying the number of copies of a target polynucleotide sequence comprising a series of primer hybridization, extending, and denaturing steps to provide an intermediate double-stranded DNA molecule containing a promoter sequence (through the use of a promoter-sequence-containing primer) incorporated upstream from the target sequence. The double-stranded DNA intermediate is then used to grow multiple RNA copies of the target sequence. The resulting RNA copies can be used as target sequences to produce further copies. Multiple cycles of this sort can thereby exponentially increase the number of target sequence copies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pallet (1) made of recyclable cardboard and its method of manufacture. Beams (2) are formed of tube-like paper-board core pieces (3) arranged in line and of the cardboard (4) surrounding them, the beams being attached to each other crosswise in two layers so that the axes of the core pieces included in the beams are placed perpendicularly to the level of the pallet. In addition to the beams (2), the pallet (1) may include a covering plate (14) of cardboard and an intermediate plate (15) of cardboard between the layers of the beams. The invention is characterized in that, when assembling the beams (2), the paper-board core pieces (3) of essentially a round cross section are compressed in order to flatten them in the cross direction of the resulting beam. The diameter of the core pieces (3) is decreased by 1-20 %, suitably about 10 % in said direction during flattening. The flattening increases the contact surfaces between the core pieces (3) and the surrounding cardboard (4) on which the core pieces and the cardboard are glued to each other.

Abstract: A method of distinguishing from "true" video, video material which was originated on film video or, more generally, detecting the residual effect of a past conversion from a lower temporal sampling rate involving the repetition of images, involves measuring a motion parameter such as a field averaged motion vector magnitude. A difference value is taken from successive motion parameters; this is subtracted from the motion parameter and the results of said comparison are accumulated. A trend of positive results is indicative of "true" video and a trend of zero or negative results suggests image repetition. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for use in a single cell of a wireless communication system of the type having a leader station that coordinates communication among a plurality of remote stations that are in the cell. The method applies to systems that use slow frequency-hopping radios and a Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) type protocol. In this context, the method allows a remote station to initially acquire the frequency-hopping pattern and time base of the leader station and to maintain frequency synchronization in the face of control information loss due to radio transmission effects (e.g., interference, noise or multipath fading). In the acquisition phase, the remote station actively generates probe messages that are sent to the leader station so as to rapidly achieve frequency synchronization with the leader station.

Granted: 1999-04-07
Abstract: A scanning circuit for an array of pressure responsive sensor points which permits the sensitivity of the circuit to be controlled. In particular, the sensitivity of the circuit may be controlled by controlling a test and/or reference voltage used with the circuit and different sensitivity or resolutions may be provided for different areas of the array. The circuit also provides enhanced interelectrode isolation, permitting a single test voltage to be utilized to scan all sensor points on a given input electrode and further reduces the time required to scan the array by reducing trace capacitance discharge time and by inhibiting processing for sensor points which are not of interest. The accuracy of pressures being sensed is also enhanced by adjusting the test voltage to compensate for load variations.
