Title: Polymeric mask for sandblasting and method for its use.
Inventor: SUZUKI IKUO
IPC: C09D11/106
Filed: 1995-03-10
Abstract: An aqueous composition for sandblast resist ink comprising an aqueous dispersible polymer having a minimum film-forming temperature of 10 DEG C or lower and a water-soluble polymer as a film-forming auxiliary agent, and a method of sandblasting using the aqueous composition are disclosed. The aqueous composition produces a sandblast resist ink which can produce a dry film having a degree of swelling in the range of 0.1-1.5 in water at 20 DEG C. The resist mask can be produced by using this aqueous composition as the sandblast resist ink without using any organic solvents in all steps (e.g. the resist mask formation step and the resist mask removed step) of sandblast processing for producing relief of photographic images, patterns, letters, or characters on the surface of glass, stones, ceramics, metals, plastics, woods, and the like. The sandblast resist ink exhibits surprising advantages as compared with conventional organic solvent type sandblast resist inks.

Abstract: A blood pressure monitoring system (20) having a blood pressure cuff (22), an air pump (28)
applying pressurized air to the cuff; a valve (30) to selectively vent the cuff, and a pressure
transducer (32) generating a signal indicative of the pressure in the cuff corresponding to an
occlusive pressure exerted by the cuff on an artery and a transient fluid pressure in the cuff
indicative of the amplitude of an oscillometric pulse. An analog-to-digital converter (36)
connected to the transducer samples the output of the transducer and generates respective
digital samples corresponding to the output of the transducer. A processor (40) receives the
respective digital samples corresponding to the signal indicative of the steady state fluid
pressure in the cuff and the signal corresponding to the amplitude of the oscillometric pulses.
The processor also records in a table the steady state fluid pressure at which each
measurement is made and the amplitude of the peak oscillometric pulses at such pressure.
The processor also determines all local maxima of the amplitude of the oscillometric peaks in
the table, and examines the longest sequences of the amplitudes of the oscillometric peaks at
cuff pressures adjacent to the cuff pressure at which each of the local maxima was obtained.
Then, the processor chooses one of the local maxima as a true maximum value based on a
comparison of the longest sequences adjacent to each of the local maxima and computes
blood pressure using this value.

Abstract: A rotation sensor for high accuracy angle applications such as
internal combustion engine crankshaft position sensing includes a pair of
complementary target wheels (25A,25B) and a dual-element magnetoresistive
sensor (11). The target wheels (25A,25B) are paced from one another along
the rotational axis (Ar) by a predetermined distance (L). The individual
magnetoresistive elements (MR1,MR2) are similarly spaced one from the
other (2d) and are influenced by the ferrite effects of the target wheels. The
spacing of the target wheels and magnetoresistive elements are selected in
relation to one another and in relation to the amount of axial play in the
crankshaft such that changes in ferrite effects of the target wheels upon the
elements due to axial displacement (Δ) of the crankshaft have minimal effect
on the accuracy of the sensing apparatus.

Abstract: A dispersed-dot stochastic dither array is provided
for rendering halftone images having excellent visual
quality and are created by a minimum density variance
method. The minimum density variance method considers
the statistical distribution of the pixels in the image,
and is unrelated to previous techniques based on either
spatial frequencies or spatial distances, such as the
blue noise mask and the void and cluster algorithm. By
minimizing the variance in the number of dots within each
local region (10) of the image, a smooth and dispersed
distribution of dots may be obtained. The method of the
present invention also offers the flexibility to
accommodate particular design considerations, through the
selection of the size and shape of the image regions, the
weighting of the cost function, and the option of guiding
the selection of dots with "target" dot profile images.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed that consists of a toolbar and toolbar
icons that can be directly linked to Web documents containing references to
Java applets or data files that collectively implement the functions associated
with the icons. The Web documents and/or the referenced objects can be
remote (i.e., accessible over the Intemet) or local (directly accessible via the
operating system of the computer displaying the GUI). The graphical user
interface is linked to Web browser software so that, whenever a toolbar icon
is selected, the interface triggers the Web browser to load the Web document
linked to the selected icon. Once this occurs, the Web browser automatically
loads the files referenced by the Web document and then executes those of
the loaded files that are executable (i.e., Java applets or standalone
programs). In a preferred embodiment, each toolbar icon is linked to a single
applet (remote or local) that implements the icon's functions. Due to the
linkage between an icon's associated Web document and the Web browser,
the icon's associated applet is executed automatically whenever the icon is
selected.
