IPC: F16L37/32
Filed: 1988-10-19
Abstract: A coupling for use with pressurized systems permitting coupling of valved coupling parts even though one of the parts may be under high pressure. An axially reciprocal valve (28') which automatically opens upon the coupling halves being connected is guided within a shell (50) within the pressurized coupling half and a sealed relationship between the valve and shell minimizes the area of valve surfaces exposed to the pressurized medium reducing the axial forces imposed upon the valve toward the closed position. A bleed valve (64) communicating with the valve interior permits valve operation with hydraulic systems in the event of seal leakage.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used to measure selected features of parameters of cells by optical identification of marked cells. Preferably, an optical enhancement factor, such as a chromogen, is bound to a specific protein in the cytoplasm of a cell in order to type a cell. A monocolonal antibody specific to the cytoplasmic protein binds to the protein site and is magnified by an enzyme development technique. The DNA of the cell nucleus may also be stained. An image analysis is made with two separate images with the stained DNA areas visible in one image and the optically enhanced cytoplasm areas visible in the second image. These images may also be combined. The cells are classified based on their morphological and/or optical markings.

Abstract: A plurality of packed descriptions is provided as a column in a table each entry containing data defining attributes associated with a different object (such as a table or view defined to the database) and all its component objects (such as related columns and indexes). Accessing the row corresponding to a particular object returns a des­cription of all of the attributes of the object's component objects, as well as information describing the object itself. The packed descrip­tion information is redundantly stored conventionally in other system catalogs for use IN at IN querying physical definitions of objects in a manner consistent with other database products. The database state information comprising the packed descriptions is retained in internal format whereas the correlative redundant information is in a user-­readable external format. By denormalising the schema for schema data whereby identifying relationships between objects is simplified, time required for compilation of statements referencing objects is substantially reduced. All information concerning attributes of an object specified in statement and its component objects necessary to compile the statement may thereby be fetched from the packed description field corresponding to the object in one I/O operation. Objects' descriptions must otherwise be retrieved from numerous I/Os to separate system catalogs and rows collectively containing the descriptions.

A lasing axis extends between a first side (22) and a second side (23) of the laser medium. Radiation transmitted out of the first side of the laser medium has its polarization rotated (25) by 90 degrees and is guided back along the lasing axis into the laser medium for a second pass. A polarizer (26) is mounted on the second side of the laser medium for guiding the radiation having a first polarization along a first path (27) and radiation having a second polarization that is 90 degrees from the first polarization along a second path (39). Both paths include the lasing axis of the laser medium and form a Y-shaped resonant cavity. Along the first path, a high reflecting means (M1) is provided to reflect the radiation back along the first path. Along the second path, an output coupler (37) is provided by which a component of the radiation is reflected back along the second path and a component is transmitted as the polarized output beam (50). A Q-switch (26,28,30) is provided in the first path between the polarizer and the high reflecting means, or (33,34) in the second path between the polarizer and the output coupler, or in both paths.

Abstract: An extractor (1, 21 to 23, 25) extracts, from image data to be binarized, a feature amount of a target pixel including at least a maximum density difference among pixels in a local region including the target pixel. A predictor (24) predicts an image type of the target pixel in accordance with a minimum density value among the pixels in the local region. A selector (24) selects one of the feature amount of the target pixel from the extractor (1, 21 to 23, 25) and a feature amount ob­tained by adding the feature amount of the target pixel to feature data of neighboring pixels in accordance with the image type predicted by the predictor (24). A discriminator (24) discriminates the image type of the target pixel in accordance with the feature amount selected by the selector (24). A weighting section (28) weights the discrimination result from the discriminator (24) with respect to the neighboring pixels of a prede­termined range preceding the target pixel in accordance with distances from the target pixel to the neighboring pixels so as to generate feature data of the neighboring pixels selectively used by the selector (24). A deter­minator (3) adaptively determines a threshold value for binarizing the image data in accordance with the discrimination result. A binarizing section (7) binarizes the image data in units of target pixels by using the threshold value determined by the determinator (3).

Abstract: A particular signal sequence corresponding in a received signal to a symbol pattern consisting of a predetermined number of symbols at a symbol interval, is detected by sampling (45-48) into phase samples substantially at the symbol interval of a phase of a signal vector obtained by coherent detection (11) of the received signal, calculation (51-52) of phase differences, each between two consecutive phase differences, detection (56-57) of consecutive instances of coincidence of each phase difference substantially with a predetermined phase difference, and determination (58-60) of presence of the signal sequence in the received signal when the instances of coincidence substantially reach in number to the predetermined number. Preferably, the sampling is carried out by making (11) I and Q signals represent the phase and converting (46-48) the I and Q signals to the phase samples by using a clock generator (45). When produced (46-47), I and Q digital signals represent their amplitudes, which are subjected to conversion (48) into the phase samples. The conversion, calculation, detection, and determination can be processed by a digital signal processor.
