Abstract: A flexural mode acoustic transducer system for use in pulse-echo ranging systems has a radiating plate (2) of which even-numbered antinodal zones (A2, A4, A6, A8), counting from a drive connection (4) to a driving element (10) at the centre of the plate, are formed with rings of apertures (40) to reduce the radiating areas of those zones, thus reducing cancellation in the far field, and improving the matching of the device to the atmosphere into which the plate is radiating. The plate is backed by a sound deadening layer (32) on a flange (30) of a transducer housing (22), from which it is separated by a foil (34) which is non-adherent to the plate, and is preferably covered by an acoustically transparent fabric having a pore size small enough to exclude damaging particulates. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for cross-correlation frequency domain fluorometry-phosphorimetry comprises a source of electromatic radiation and means for amplitude modulating the radiation at the first frequency. The amplitude modulated radiation is directed at a sample, while an optical array detector measures the resulting luminescence of the sample. A signal is provided coherent with the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiation signals, at a second frequency which is different from the first frequency. The apparatus has the capability for shutting off and turning on the coherent signal at the second frequency in a cycle having a third frequency which is different from the difference between the first and second frequencies. This produces a resultant signal at a frequency derived from the frequency difference and the third frequency. Typically the resultant signal is no more than about a quarter of the frequency difference. The resultant signal modulates the gain of the detecting means or multiplies its output, depending upon the nature of the detecting means. The amount of luminescence measured by the optical array detector is read when the signal is off in its cycle of the third frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus which uses ultrasonic techniques to inspect critical pipe joints and other critical industrial areas that are normally inaccessible. A waveguide (20, 46) including one or more flexible fibers (72) is embedded in concrete (12) or whatever else embeds the piping which includes the critical area. One end of the waveguide (20, 46) is accessible so that an ultrasonic transducer (30) can be used to transmit ultrasonic signals along the waveguide (20, 46) and receive reflected echoes to provide an ultrasonic image of the critical area. In a case where the area to be inspected is submerged, the waveguide (20, 46) takes the form of a flexible fiber bundle which is manipulated until its end is adjacent to the critical area. Some of the fibers (72) in the bundle can be used to illuminate the critical area, and other fibers (72) can transmit optical images for display on a video monitor (78).

Abstract: A method for decoding an encoded non-return to zero (NRZ) signal without the use of external clock. Transitions within the encoded NRZ signal cause a differential voltage signal to be output. This differential voltage increases at a constant rate between two transitions. At the second transition the magnitude of the differential voltage is compared to a preset value to determine a number of consecutive like bits. These consecutive bits can then be transmitted in one step to a storage means.

Abstract: A powdered medium for the cleaning of exhaust gases, e,g. smoke and gases from industrial chimneys, employing the principle of dry adsorption, which includes a mixture of activated cokes with inert materials which have no dust explosiveness To prepare a mixture containing powdered activated cokes, in which mixture the concentration of carbon is up to 30% by weight and which when used in the airstream process under essentially all operating conditions, is not subject to virtually any fluctuations in concentration such that with a concentration of oxygen up to 21% by volume, no dust-explosive fractions can form, at least one inert material component in the mixture is matched in terms of its grain size distribution to the grain size distribution of the activated coke component, so that in a gas medium at rest, the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the inert material components is substantially equal to or greater than the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the activated coke components. The powdered medium can be used in essentially all exhaust gas cleaning systems, in separately operated or upstream or downstream adsorption stages employing the airstream principle.

Abstract: A method and system for parametrically generating characters and fonts. A font generation system is run on a computer and allows a user to create a Terafont binary file, which includes a set of universal font generation rules that are applied to generating fonts consistent with a common type of alphabet, and parametric data files, each of which specify a particular font. The user can create a new font, or replicate an existing font. The parametric data are distributed as files or embedded in documents. One or more characters of a font are generated using a font engine that executes the Terafont binary file on a computer using the parametric data specifying that font as an input. The parametric data provided to the font engine at least include a minimal set of font measurement data, such as a PANOSE TM  number, which are used to compute global variables representing typographic characteristics common to many-if not all-of the glyphs in the font. Additional global and local variables needed to capture nuances of individual characters are computed or assigned default values by the font engine. Thus, a wide variety of fonts can be generated, each font using a set of parametric data relatively small in size, without extrapolating from a single master outline or interpolating between two or more outlines. Since the generated character outlines are defined in terms of conventional mathematical constructs, they are easily reformatted into other digital font formats by the font engine, if necessary.
