Inventor: LAGERGREEN PETER J
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 1991-02-13
Abstract: A test probe (200) is described for substantially eliminating measuring inaccuracies in a storage tank leak detection system caused by temperature-induced volumetric changes in the stored fluid product. The apparatus comprises an elongated tube (202), formed of a low temperature coefficient material, supported in the storage tank and having first and second ends and a substantially hollow core. A housing (25) is attached to the second end of the elongated tube (202) and is vented to the fluid product such that a portion of the fluid product enters the housing. An inner tube (230) is located within the elongated tube and has an opening connected to the housing. The inner tube is preferably supported within an outer tube (232) and the inner and outer tubes are separated by an evacuated space (231) to provide thermal isolation of the inner tube from the elongated tube. A low temperature coefficient medium (35) is then supported in the inner tube. According to the invention, a non-reactive liquid seal (33) is supported in the housing between the medium (35) and the fluid product for supporting the medium in the inner tube in static equilibrium with respect to the fluid product. The large disparity between the temperature coefficients of the medium and the fluid product insures that temperature-induced volumetric changes in the fluid product do not vary the level of the medium (35) in the tube (230).

Abstract: A wireless local area network (10) includes a plurality of stations (12) adapted to transmit and receive message packets via a distribution system (30). In a time division multiplexing embodiment the network (10) operates using successive timing frames (FR1, FR2, etc.) each consisting of three timing intervals (T1, T2, T3). During the first timing interval (T1) the distribution system (30) normally transmits synchronizing packets (HBT), to which a station (12) desiring to transmit responds by transmitting an information packet during the next second timing interval (T2). During the subsequent first timing interval (T1), the distribution system (30) retransmits the received information packet. Any transmitting station (12) which detects an information packet mismatch transmits a collision reporting code (CDT) during the next third timing interval (T3) to which the distribution system (30) responds by transmitting a collision acknowledgement code (CAKT) to all the stations (12) thereby aborting information transmission. A frequency division multiplexing embodiment is also disclosed.

Abstract: A local processor is connected to one port of a dual port memory controller. A bus having a BURST signal line is connected to the other port. The memory controller controls access to a local memory. A remote processor can perform a semaphore operation on a semaphore stored in the local memory by translating a LOCK signal from the remote processor into a bus BURST signal that is activated for a period allowing the remote processor to read and modify the semaphore. While the semaphore operation is being performed, the local processor can access the local memory.

Abstract: A flattened layer (6) formed between a micro-condenser lens (7) and an Aℓ light-shielding layer (5) is formed as a bilayer and this bilayer is formed by sequentially laminating a first layer (6a) and a second layer (6b) having a refractive index (N₂) lower than a refractive index (N₁) of the first layer (6a). Therefore, of the incident light converged by the micro-condenser lens (7), a light component shielded by the shoulder portion of the Aℓ light-shielding layer (5) is reduced and a sensitivity increasing effect, which is an effect inherent in the condenser lens, can be demonstrated sufficiently, which can make the CCD solid state imager compact in size and which can improve the image quality.

Abstract: In the interlocking mode, the color of the color data is converted into a brightness value by a brightness converting circuit (302) in accordance with the value of each of R, G, B of the color data written into each color register of RAMDAC (30). Gradation data to be written into each register of the flat palette table (305) is formed from the brightness value. In the non-interlocking mode, an optional gradation data irrelevant to the color data of the RAMDAC (30) is written into each register of the flat palette table (305). By the switching between interlocking and non-interlocking modes, selection can be made between the monochrome gradation display which faithfully reproduces the color display screen of a CRT display and the monochrome display of an optional gradation irrelevant to the color display screen.

The cutting and welding knife has a relatively broad welding section which is set back in a step-shaped manner with respect to its cutting edge, contacts the surface of one film in a freely sliding manner and is intended for producing a broad welded seam. The welding section extends from a region above the plastic films as far as a region below said films. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Inversion (20,72,89) of the encoder signal (16,71) --during pen-carriage (62) operation in just one (63 B ) of two printing directions (63 F , 63 B )--advantageously causes development of the position-signal pulse (14,21) at each encoder bar (11) to be generated from the same edge of each bar (11), even though the pulse-using circuit (61) is always triggered from the same apparent waveform (13,20) feature (e.g., a so-called "falling edge"). As a result, the position at which ink (32) is fired (77) from a pen (31) on the carriage (62) is independent of tolerances in bar (11) width. Further asymmetry of timing, provided by addressing each position (34) based on an earlier- arriving encoder-signal pulse (21 b) and passing that pulse (21b,71) through a delay line (At,81-85), is preferably used to compensate for the fact that ink-drop time-of-flight acts in opposite senses (V c F,V c R) during pen scanning in the two different printing directions (63 F , 63 B ) respectively. This time-of-flight effect, for the bidirectionally flying ink drops (32,32',32"), produces undesirable offset (ΔX F ,ΔX R ) of the actually printed ink position in opposite directions from the nominal ink-firing point (14,21,25). The invention uses asymmetrical timing in such a way that the ink-firing points (14,25), in the two directions respectively, bracket each common, desired mark location; the bidirectionally flying drops (32,32") then "lead" or approach each common mark location (34) from opposite directions (V c F,V c B) and can be aligned precisely. Another technique is useful when the printer uses large amounts of ink -- relative to the amount of liquid carrier that can be absorbed by or evaporated from the printing medium -- as for example, when a printer does double-ink-drop printing on transparency stock. In this case print quality can be improved by deliberately selecting a relatively large amount of jitter or random variation (t 4 .-ti , t4.'-ti') in firing time (59,59') within each pixel column. A preferred amount corresponds to about one eighth of a column width.
