IPC: G06K9/68
Filed: 1983-11-28
Abstract: @ A method and system for recognizing complex patterns, such as Chinese characters (Kanji), which may employ detailed information about an element and specifically curvature characteristics. Selected elements or strokes are grouped into confusion groups. Strokes under examination are categorized and assigned either stroke identity labels or confusion group identity labels by a flexible comparison or distance metrics generated with reference to templates which represent general recognition criteria or groupings of specific strokes. Specific threshold criteria are applied to distance metrics.

Abstract: @ The present specification discloses a method and apparatus for treating meat, especially bacon pieces. Conventionally bacon pieces are individually frozen and then compressed, before slicing. This produces waste from the ends of the bacon pieces and also requires an amount of handling which reduces the temperature of the bacon pieces and thus impairs slicing unless the bacon piece is frozen to a great extent. However, such deep freezing impairs the quality of the bacon. 
     The present invention provides a method and apparatus wherein, if used to handle bacon, the bacon pieces are first compressed in a press (5) to attain a desired transverse cross-section. Then the compressed bacon pieces are passed through an elongate duct (1) which is refrigerated so that the bacon pieces are chilled or frozen to a limited extent before passing to the slicer (6). Thus handling is reduced and also by chilling and squaring off the ends of the bacon pieces, and freezing adjacent bacon pieces together, wastage during slicing is obviated.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus having a dataflow architecture includes an addressor module, an operational module and a memory module, and data to be processed is accompanied by a command and is applied to the respective module through a uni-direction bus. The addressor module and the operational module are integrated within a common hardware circuit having a feedback loop. A normal operation (an arithmetic and logic operation) is executed by the common hardware circuit by using only the uni-directional bus, while an address generating operation is executed by the common hardware circuit by using the uni-directional bus and the feedback loop.

Abstract: This invention relates to the detection of a change in a pattern of radiation and is concerned especially with the detection of such a change as a result of the movement of an object and/or its shadow and/or an image of an object, such as, for example, a television picture thereof. The term «radiation» is used to include ultra-violet radiation, visible light and infrared radiation. 
     In more detail there is provided an apparatus for detecting a change in a pattern of radiation incident on the apparatus, comprising lens means, a first sensing means sensitive to said incident radiation and adapted to give a first outpout signal characteristic of said pattern and a second such sensing means, adapted to give a cecond such output signal, said sensing means having different configurations and/or orientations of radiation-sensitive areas and said lens means together with said sensing means constituting an optical system, are arranged for incidence on said sensing means through said lens means of said radiation, and connected to comparator means in such a way that the latter receives said output signals, the arrangement being such that any change in said pattern of radiation causes a first consequent change in said first output signal and a second consequent change being different from said first consequent change by virtue of said different configurations and/or orientations of radiation-sensitive areas, and said comparator means being arranged to supply a signal which is a function of the said differing output signals and hence indicative of a change in said pattern of radiation.

Abstract: @ An apparatus for depositing predetemined volumes of liquid colour onto a substrate including at least one dispensing pump 11 connected between a respective container for liquid colour to be deposited and a respective deposition orifice, characterised in that the pump is actuator by means of a remove actuator 24. The remove actuator comprises a piston rod 29 which moves, under the influence of pneumatic pressure, against a pivoted actuator arm 32. The end of the arm remote from the actuator 24 acts against a collar 23 on a combined piston rod and outlet tube 22 of the pump 11, causing liquid colour to be discharged from the pump. The volume swept by the piston of the pump may be varied by varying the position of the actuator piston rod 29 with respect to the actuator arm 32. 
     Liquid colour may be supplied to the dispensing pumps from a flexible container provided with an external agitator and an outlet spout.

Abstract: A robot joint including a housing, dual input means on opposite sides of the housing, an eccentric driven by each input means and adapted to both "walk-around" an inner surface of the housing and to drive a first pair of bevel gears, a second pair of bevel gears, each of which meshes with both of the first pair of bevel gears, and a single cylindrical output member secured to one of the second pair of bevel gears. If the dual input means and, hence, the first pair of bevel gears are driven in the same direction at the same speed, the cylindrical output member is caused to be raised or lowered, whereas if driven at the same speed in opposite directions, the output member is caused to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Variations in speed and direction will result in desired combinations of "pitch" and "roll" movements.

Abstract: An intake system for an internal combustion engine has a fuel injector (4) disposed in an induction passage (2) upstream of a pivotally mounted throttle plate (3) having an idle position in which the throttle plate (3) has upstream and downstream edge portions slightly spaced from the inner peripheral surface of the induction passage to define therewith narrow gaps (10) for the passage of air and injected fuel particles. A bypass air passage (2) is formed in the peripheral wall of the induction passage and has a downstream end (15) open thereto to produce a jet of air directed toward the central zone of the downstream face of the throttle plate when in the idle position. The air jet is operative to compensate for the difference in pressure between a central space immediately downstream of the throttle plate and peripheral zones adjacent to the narrow gaps whereby whiriing-up of air and fuel particles just downstream of the throttle plate and resultant formation of drops of liquid fuel can be prevented.

IPC: A61M27/00

Abstract: An implantable valve for allowing the passage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a ventricle of the brain to a suitable drainage location in the body includes a movable diaphragm, one side of which is in pressure communication with the drainage location of the body and the other side of which is in pressure communication with the ventricular spaces of the brain. A valve assembly, actuable by displacement of the diaphragm in response to a pressure differential applied thereto, regulates passage of CSF from the ventricular spaces to the drainage location. When differential pressure is relatively small, the valve is actuated to a constant pressure mode in which a predetermined differential pressure across the valve is maintained. In response to a sudden increase in differential pressure, the valve mechanism is actuated to a constant flow mode in which a desired relatively constant rate of fluid flow is maintained. Above a predetermined pressure differential, the valve is actuated once again to a constant pressure mode in which differential pressure above a predetermined maximum is prevented.

Abstract: The present invention provides, without the drawbacks accompanied by the use of hot melt adhesives, a labelled container (8), the label (10), on its underside (22) that is adjacent the container (8) when applied, being provided with a finite area (65) on its leading edge (25) and a finite area (66) on its trailing edge (27), by applying thereto a solvent for the polymer in each of the finite areas (65, 66), the finite areas comprising a viscous tacky solution of the polymer in the solvent, the solidifying solution being sufficient to tack and bond the label (10) to the container (8) during wrapping. After the label (10) is wrapped around the container (8), the bond between the container and label becomes weaker as the solidifying solution hardens so that later the label can be easily and cleanly stripped from the container for recycling. The label can be a coextruded plastics label having a solid polymer layer (15) that is printable and a foam polymer layer (22), the finite areas being on the foam layer.
