Abstract: An ultrasonic scanning apparatus includes a rotor (10), first and second electromagnetic stators (16), and an ultrasonic transducer (20) mounted on the rotor. Each electromagnetic stator has two curved pole faces arranged opposite pole faces on the rotor. The electromagnetic stators (16) are arranged on opposite sides of the axis of rotation (12) of the rotor (10). The stator pole faces (18) are tapered such that on rotation of the rotor (10) in one direction, the gaps between the rotor and a first stator (16) decrease while the gaps between the rotor and the other stator increase. On rotation of the rotor (10) in the opposite direction, the gaps between the rotor and the first stator (16) increase and the gaps between the rotor and the second stator decrease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a loop type continuous metal casting machine in which two side dams (15) are revolved in a loop passing along a casting zone from the entrance end thereof between upper and lower endless revolving casting belts to define a downhill moving mold and in which each of the side dams (15) is formed of a multiplicity of metal dam blocks so stung onto a flexible metal strap loop that the metal dam blocks abut in end-to-end relationship against one another but are allowed to slide on and relative to the metal strap loop. Push means is disposed near the entrance end of the casting zone and is reciprocated back and forth in synchronism with the passage of each side dam (15) for periodically entering the wedge-shaped gap, which is formed between the two adjacent metal damblocks (16 1 , 16 2 ) of the corresponding side dam loop before entry into the casting zone, to push the preceding one of the two adjacent metal damblocks (16 1 , 16 2 ) forward thereby tightly pressing the preceding damblocks (16) together so that the end-to-end abutting relationships of the damblocks (16) may be ensured while the side dam loops are passing through the casting zone. Thus, molten metal can be continuously cast in the moving mold without burrs.

Title: Molding register system
Inventor: SOUTHAM DONALD LEE
IPC: B22C25/00
Filed: 1986-02-21
Abstract: 57 A register system is provided for making molds for metal casting which reduces flaws attributable to parting line shift. This is accomplished by urging the cope mold flask (11) against two fixed stops (50, 52) on the long axis, and one fixed stop (54) on the short axis of the flask. This same register principle is applied in the drag mold making station (18), where the drag flask (15) is urged against two fixed stops (100, 102) on the long axis, and one fixed stop (90) on the short axis of the flask. At the closer station (24), where the mold halves are assembled, they are again urged against two fixed stops (134, 136) on the long axis, and one fixed stop (142) on the short axis of the flasks. Thus the flasks are properly aligned to the patterns at the mold making stations, and again properly aligned to each other at the closer station, so as to eliminate parting line shift problems of the mold halves.

Abstract: A urethral sphincter cuff to be implanted surgically to encircle the urethra. When the sphincter cuff is filled, the urethra is squeezed, and the patient is continent. When the cuff is deflated pressure is released from the urethra and urine may flow therethrough. 
     The sphincter cuff is provided with a tongue 12 and buckle 14 to allow adjustment during surgical implantation. The tongue 12 contains apertures 18 which are adapted to fit onto studs 20 on the buckle part 14. After placement and adjustment of the cuff an adhesive can be applied to secure the tongue to the buckle. 
     The cuff also contains an occluding diaphragm 24 which, when filled, squeezes the urethra to inhibit fluid flow, and when unfilled remains in a second position in which no tension is applied to the urethra. Even when the diaphragm area is reduced to its minimum value (no pressure on the urethra) the diaphragm 24 remains under tension so that its smooth surface does not wrinkle. Providing a smooth diaphragm surface pushed against the urethra reduces the possibility of local necrosis of the urethral tissue.

Abstract: An apparatus for and a method of feature extraction in which are formed feature vectors representing pixels contained in a pattern desired to be recognized, and reference patterns. One part of the feature vector developed is representative of the pixels contained in the pattern itself. Another part of the feature vector, consisting of one or more bytes of the feature vector, defines the aspect ratio of the pattern. Each byte of the feature vector representing the pixels contained in the character can represent the relative ratio of black pixels to total pixels in a specific area of the character; other functions relating input matrix and output feature vector information can be used. The areas of the character which are defined by the feature vector can together cover the entire character, providing a feature vector describing what might loosely be thought of as a "blurred" version of the pattern.

Abstract: In this system for vehicle roll control, a suspension device or an actuator is provided corresponding to each wheel of a vehicle, and resiliently suspends it from the vehicle body. Each such suspension device can alter its hardness or softness characteristics according to a control signal, while similarly the actuators are adapted to alter the suspended height of their wheels. A vehicle speed detecting device senses road speed, a steering angle detecting device senses steering angle, and a device detects the total vehicle body weight. A computing control device computes a predictive roll angle of the vehicle body from road speed and steering angle, and: if suspension devices are provided, controls them to be relatively hard when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is larger than a threshold value, while controlling them to be relatively soft when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is less than this threshold value; while, if actuators are provided, when the absolute value of the predictive roll angle is larger than a threshold value, it controls them in accordance with this predictive roll angle. Particularly, this computing device varies the threshold roll angle value according to the total vehicle body weight as detected by the weight detector, so as to decrease the threshold roll angle value along with increase of the total vehicle body weight.
