Abstract: A portable tool (41) for determining diameters and lengths along fallen trees (stems). The tool (41) includes callipers (2,3) for measuring diameters at positions along the stem and a tape measure (5) for measuring distance along the stem.  In use, spinning lasers (57) are used to set up datum planes (51) either vertically beside the stem or horizontally above the stem. The tool (41) is also provided with a laser sensor (13) so that distance may be determined from the stem to the datum (51) to enable the curvature of the log to be determined. Each of the measuring devices on the tool (41) provide a visual display of their measurements and encoders (9, 26) provide an electronic signal representative of the measurements to a computer (19) on the tool (41). Software running on the computer (19) uses these measurements to "paint" a picture of the stem and, using data relating to the value and current desirability of various lengths and qualities of logs, determines the optimum cutting positions along the stem to maximise the value of the logs produced from the stem.

Title: Air filter for the intake air of an internal-combustion engine
Inventor: VOLKER ERNST
IPC: B01D46/52
Filed: 1995-04-18
Granted: 2005-07-05
Abstract: An air filter, particularly for the intake air of an internal-combustion engine is provided herein. The filter includes a housing, an air filter insert which is arranged in the housing, and a cover which closes off the housing. The air filter insert includes an essentially-rectangular cartridge having a surrounding seal. The entire seal has a uniform Shore A hardness in the range of from 7 to 25 and is clamped between the housing and the cover in such a manner that it separates an unfiltered air chamber within the filter from a filtered air chamber within the filter. The filter further includes at least one clamp for clamping the cover and the housing to each other, the clamp simultaneously securing the filter insert in the housing in such a manner that the cover directly contacts the housing only adjacent to each clamp. In addition, a clearance exists between the cover and the housing except adjacent each clamp. As a result, the cover no longer rests, as previously, on the housing over the whole length of the seal, but rests only in the area of the clamps.

Abstract: A voice-following video system for dynamically capturing the view of an active speaker includes a video camera, a position control system for the video camera, and one or more voice-activated emitters. A voice-activated emitter is associated with each potential speaker. As a person talks, the associated voice-activated emitter transmits a position signal. The position control system uses the position signal as a beacon to determine the location of the active speaker. The position control system then adjusts the pan and/or tilt of the video camera to bring the active speaker into the field of view and tracks that person's movements. In this manner, as one person stops speaking and another starts, the video camera is automatically repositioned, capturing the view of the active speaker.

Granted: 1998-12-22
Abstract: A surgical tool for use in preparing a graft path in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a knee joint in which aligned tibial and femoral osseous tunnels are made for a bone-tendon-bone graft or similar surgery where two bone tunnels are in alignment. The tool comprises an elongated guide body having a guide shaft capable of being positioned within the tibial tunnel and extending into the femoral tunnel, and an elongated channel-like main body which is coaxial with the guide shaft. The main body includes a rasping head and is rotatably and axially slidable on the guide shaft for guided rasping of bone surfaces along the graft path. The rasp head fully encircles the guide shaft and is capable of following the guide shaft to enter and extend beyond the tibial tunnel. The leading end of the guide body includes a guide head with a flexible structure for connecting the head to the guide shaft. The guide head is movable through the tibial tunnel and into the femoral tunnel to position the guide shaft for subsequent rasping of surfaces along the graft path by manually moving the rasping head along and/or about the shaft. The flexible connection of the guide head to the guide shaft enables the knee to be flexed, when the guide body is in place, for inspection of the graft path in the area of the intercondylar notch while the rasping body may serve as a trial prosthesis to check for interference.
