Patent EP-0669583-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RAMASWAMY VELRAJ
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 1995-02-08
Abstract: A personal computer's (300) microprocessor is time-shared to provide the functions formerly provided by a microprocessor dedicated to a modem. Advantageously, this technique is transparent to software applications programs which interact with a modem. 
     In the disclosed embodiment, the personal computer (300) utilizes an operating system (304), such as the Microsoft Windows operating system, in which a portion of the operating system, known as the communications driver, provides the interface between the operating system and the personal computer's serial and parallel communication ports (305, 307, 308). In the disclosed embodiment, all communications between the communications driver and the rest of the operating system are examined (by 410). Those communications destined for a particular port associated with a modem (409) not having a dedicated microprocessor are redirected while other communications destined for other ports are passed to the Microsoft Windows communications driver (306). The redirected communications are coupled to a software application program (411) which utilizes the PC microprocessor to carry out the functions formerly provided by the modem microprocessor. As a result, the modem's (409) microprocessor and associated RAM and ROM can be eliminated. A feature of the present invention is that the software application program (411) can be loaded into the personal computer's memory only when required.

Title: Pixel correction and smoothing method
Inventor: OVERTON MARK A
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 1995-03-09
Abstract: An improved method for providing a more faithful and pleasing rendition of a pixel pattern is described herein. This method first places the original pixel pattern in a bit mapped memory (12). A small portion of this bit mapped pattern, called an input tile (28), acts as an address for a look-up table (18) containing a corrected pixel pattern portion (an output tile) (46/54/58/62) corresponding to the target pixels (29/30) to be corrected in the input tile. To derive the output tiles stored in the look-up table, a high resolution bit map (31) is created from an input tile by scaling the input tile. A triangular portion of each convex corner (34) in the high resolution bit map is chopped off, and a triangular portion of each concave corner (35) in the high resolution bit map is filled in. The resulting pattern is then smoothed using a low pass filter. The size of these triangular portions and the extent of low pass filtering are determined using a function based on the vulnerability of a pixel to being eliminated during the above smoothing process. This regulation of smoothing helps preserve desired detail in the image. The middle portion of the high resolution bit map corresponding to the two original target pixels intended to be corrected is then divided up into a number of pixel areas (38-43), where each area represents a pixel to be printed. A threshold number is then compared to the pixels in each area, and a corresponding output pixel is then stored, printed, or otherwise displayed.

Filed: 1995-07-07
Abstract: A concrete pile section (1,2) comprises an elongate body of reinforced concrete having a socket (5) at its top end and a spigot (6) at its bottom end which are shaped and relatively dimensioned such that when the spigot (6) at the bottom of one such section (1,2) is fully inserted into the socket (5) at the top of another such section (1,2) to form a joint there is an interference fit between the spigot (6) and socket (5) in at least two zones (7,8) spaced apart along the length of the joint but a clearance fit in at least a third zone (9) spacing the said two zones (7,8). The socket (5) is reinforced by at least one hoop member (13,14) in each of these two zones (7,8), preferably by a separate circular hoop member (19,20) embedded in the concrete in each of the zones (7,8). If desired, a resinous adhesive or a non-shrink grout may occupy the clearances in the third zone (9) and/or elsewhere. Even without such adhesive, however, the interference fit in the first and second zones (7,8) creates an immediate frictional engagement so that installation of the pile can continue immediately.

Abstract: The sheet material is made from a base layer, esp. of a polyolefin, and an outer layer of a plastic with non-slip properties, both reticulated. The two layers are produced separately by extrusion and are joined together by means of an adhesive or by thermo-fusion, especially by softening the upper surface of the base layer with a flame. The outer layer is thinner than the base layer of the sheet material, e.g. in a ratio of between 1 :2 and 1 : 30, with the outer layer being between 0.2 and 2 mm thick. The base layer can be made, for example, from polyethylene with a thickness of 4 mm and a 5 x 5 mm mesh, and the outer layer of EVA 1.1 mm thick and a 2 x 2 mm mesh.

Abstract: This procedure partly decouples production from demand in a pyrolysis plant producing gas. The gas from the pyrolysis reactor is normally sent to a converter producing cracked gas, which is used as an environmentally-friendly fuel. In this new process the gas stream leaving pyrolysis is condensed ahead of the converter, during periods of low gas demand. At higher demands, fuel supply is augmented by vaporisation of the condensed gas. Also claimed is a plant to carry out the procedure with an assembly (10) operable as either a condenser or as a through-flow heater, between the pyrolysis reactor and the gas converter.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention, which concerns a process and device for shifting rotting materials stored in a composting tank and having to be thoroughly mixed from time to time, is to ensure the reduction and thorough mixing of the rotting material with reduced effort and to prevent the compacting of the material on deposition. In the process, this is attained by distributing the rotting material by deposition. The point of deposition of the material is moved over the deposition area, while the height of the deposition point is varied so that a maximum drop is not exceeded. In the device, there is a crab movable along the gantry. The crab bears a take-up and depositing unit containing a reversible conveyor belt which is adjustable in height. A grinding roller is fitted on the conveyor belt via a variable-length cross-bar. The crab has a doctor blade which can be swung over the belt during the depositing process.

IPC: B23B29/04
Filed: 1995-01-17
Abstract: A toolholder 1 of the type including a collet 5 integrally formed with a shank 3 is provided with an interface between a locknut 7 and collet 13 which substantially reduces the torque required to turn the locknut 7 into a position which radially collapses the collet segments 17. In this interface, one of either the inner locknut surface 23 or the outer surfaces of the collet segments 17 includes an engaging portion 56 for wedgingly flexing the collet segments 17 inwardly when the locknut is turned, and a non-engaging portion 58 disposed between the engaging portion 56 and the shank mounted ends of the collet segments 17. The non-engaging portion 58 reduces the torque required to turn the locknut 7 by reducing the binding forces that would otherwise occur between the ends of the collet segments 17 and the inner locknut surface 23. To further reduce torque, the collet portion interconnecting the collet segments 17 with the shank 3 of the toolholder is rendered thinner by the provision of circumferential grooves 72, 76 that make the collet segments 17 more flexible. Sealing rings 66, 74, 81 are seated in grooves 68, 72, 76 present in the interior defined by the collet segments 17 in order to prevent errant flows of coolant or debris from collecting between the collet segments 17 and the tool shank 9 gripped thereby.
