Abstract: The patient support structure or bed comprises an articulatable frame (30) having a plurality of elongated inflatable sacks (1 to 10) thereon, the sacks being connected to a low pressure compressed air blower (104) and a plurality of pipes (100) for carrying gas from the blower to the sacks. The sacks rest atop a neoprene membrane which covers a planar upper surface (64) of the frame (30). Power to the air blower is supplied by a variable autotransformer adjustable by an electric motor mechanically connected thereto, and operation of the motor is controlled by an electronic circuit which balances the auto­transformer voltage against a preset reference voltage. A multi-outlet, variable flow, gas valve comprises a housing (136) defining an inlet (140) and a passageway (138). The valve housing further defines at least two cylinder chambers (142) communicating with the passageway and a discrete outlet (144) for each cylinder chamber, and a piston (146) is substantially non­rotatably disposed inside each cylinder chamber, but is movable along the chamber (142) by a motor (160) to vary flow through the valve and to selected ones of the sacks (70). The sacks can be rapidly deflated via a plurality of solenoid valves, and the pipes from the blower can be directed to different sacks by opening and closing a plurality of manually operated valves.

Abstract: An adaptive television deghosting system operates on modulated video signals including a direct signal component and one or more ghost signal components. The system includes means (220,224,230) for producing in-phase and quadrature-phase baseband video signals as the respective real and imaginary input signals to a complex IIR filter (420). Means (418) are provided for developing filter coefficients adaptively from preset initial values using the signals provided by the filter during a training interval. The training interval includes the interval between the leading edge of the vertical sync pulse and the first serration pulse of each field. Means (406,408) are provided for subtracting the filtered training signals from a sync-tip reference value to develop a signal which is proportional to the error in the filter coefficient values. Means (510) multiply the error signal values corresponding to ghost signals by the complex conjugate of the training signal values which represent the analogous sampling points of the direct signal. The values produced by this multiplication operation are scaled - (513,517) by an adaptation constant and accumulated (514,516,518,520) to produce the filter coefficients which are used to cancel the ghost signals.

Abstract: A paper tail nip threader for guiding a moving paper tail over and around a contoured surface. The apparatus is particularly useful for automatically threading a paper tail through a calender roll stack.A guide surface is shaped to conform to a portion of the surface over which the paper is to be passed. An air stream is directed across the guide surface in the desired direction of movement of the paper. The air stream is thus forced to flow in a contoured path which corresponds to the surface over which the paper is to be passed. The moving air stream "catches" the paper tail and carries it between the guide surface and the surface over which the paper is to be passed.

Abstract: This process relates to the upgrading of at least one stream of condensate water by removing water soluble gaseous impurities from the group consisting of HCN, COS, HCOOH, and mixtures thereof as produced in a process for the production of synthesis gas by the partial oxidation of solid carbonaceous fuel and/or liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel. In the process, at least one internally produced condensate stream of water containing the aforesaid water soluble gaseous impurities is mixed with and vaporized into a stream of synthesis gas. The vaporized mixture is then introduced into at least one bed of catalyst where the gaseous impurities are removed by hydrolysis. The upgraded water stream is then recycled in the process for use in cooling and/or scrubbing the hot raw effluent gas stream from a partial oxidation gas generator. The condensate water streams are obtained by (i) cooling a portion of the cooled and scrubbed effluent stream of synthesis gas to below the dew point temperature; and/or (ii) cooling and flashing a portion of the quench water used to quench cool and clean the hot raw effluent stream of synthesis gas thereby producing a gaseous mixture comprising H₂O, HCN, COS, HCOOH, and mixtures thereof and cooling said gaseous mixture to condense out and separate condensed water containing said water soluble gaseous impurities.

Abstract: In a method of examining the states of alignment of glass fibers (f1 - f5, f1′ - f5′) in a pair of ribbon fiber cables (F, F′) by observing their images obtained in two directions, a reflecting mirror (1) is located adjacent to glass fibers (f1 - f5, f1′ - f5′) of a pair of ribbon fiber cables (F, F′). Illuminating light (ℓ1, ℓ2) is introduced into the glass fibers of the fiber cabes in a direction different from the normal direction of a plane formed by the glass fibers, and an image formed by the illuminating light which is reflect­ed by the reflecting mirror and then passed through the glass fibers and another image formed by the illuminat­ing light which is passed through the glass fibers and then reflected by the reflecting mirror are observed. According to the examining method, the optical axes of two images obtained on the light receiving side can be made parallel to each other to keep the tow images extremely near to each other. Therefore, the distance along which the pickup system must be moved can be made short. This makes the system small-sized and the image processing time short. In addition, the objective used in the pickup system, may have a low magnification. Further, all of the glass fibers can be observed once on a screen and the adjustment of focus relative to the glass fibers may be conducted one time when they are observed in each of two directions. Furthermore, their shift from that axis along which they should be aligned can be detected with a higher accuracy.

Abstract: A procedure and facility for the detection and evaluation of surface cracks in workpieces (1) in which use is made of an image pick-up camera (3) to take a picture of the workpiece surface pretreated with the aid of the magnetic powder or dye penetration method and/or contrast intensification means, digitise it and process it with a computer (8) in such a way that a binary image is produced of any cracks and a segregation finding is initiated if a predetermined threshold value is exceeded. In order to obtain a segregation signal independent of the absolute brightness of the original image, a blurred background image is derived from the original image values resolved into digitised grey value steps and is subtracted from the original image, in which process the difference image thus formed yields a display of the crack. A dynamic threshold value for the segregation finding is determined by comparing the grey value distribution of the original or the difference image with at least one previously evaluated image or difference image and producing a binary image from the original image or the difference image and the grey value threshold and indicating image points whose grey values lie above the threshold set as defects.
