Abstract: A method for labelling articles having an arbitrary peripheral surface shape including non-cylindrically shaped articles (86) for identification by visually impaired persons comprises the steps of providing a continuous web of sheet of material (90) on a roll (92), unwinding the continuous web of material to expose a particular segment of the sheet of material for use as a label (82) on the article, depositing, on the particular sheet segment, a tactilely-distinguishable marking comprising a viscous liquid (136) for identifying said article to visually impaired persons by touch, cutting the predetermined sheet segment portion from the web with the deposited marking, and applying the sheet segment portion to the article. The tactile marking is deposited on the sheet segment portion after the material has been unwound from the unwindable roll and immediately before attachment of the label to the article so that the sheet segment portion having the marking is applied to the article without any intermediate storage. There is also described a labelling machine for applying the labels, which includes a computer for controlling a vacuum drum (112), liquid application means, a cutter (110), roll material rotating means, and a chuck (14) for holding and rotating the article, substantially simultaneously so that the article is labelled with the label segment at a predetermined desired label location on the article and so that the tactilely distinguishable mark is deposited at a predetermined desired mark location on the label. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for measuring the height of the cutting table of an earth-processing implement or an agricultural implement, such as, for example, a combine harvester, relative to a surface of a ground having crops by means of an acoustic transducer arrangement. The method includes forming the sound signal emitted by the transducer arrangement by a pseudonoise signal covering a predetermined frequency band. Comparing the sound signal with the reflected signal. Mutually delaying the sound signal and the reflected signal until the comparison has reached its optimum. Whereafter, the delay represents a measurement of the distance to the surface of the ground.

Date Nov. 27, 1997A method and apparatus for extracting oil from water, particularly spillage water from gasoline stations and water that emanates from vehicle-washing plants. The method and apparatus utilize filters to which contaminated water from the vehicle-washing plant and other contaminated water is passed. The water is cleansed in one or more mutually sequential filters arranged in the flow direction of the water. The water is cleansed by first causing the water to flow through a collection filter in which oil and coarse particles are collected in a first cleansing stage. The water from the collection filter is passed through a fine filter adapted to lower the oil content of the water to a level below about 50 to 70 mg/l in a second cleansing stage. The water from the fine filter then flows through a membrane filter that is adapted to filter-off at least 75% of the oil remaining in the water during a third cleansing stage. At least a substantial part of at least the water cleansed in the membrane filter is recycled back to the vehicle-washing plant while any residual part of that water is discharged to a municipal sewage network.

Abstract: A position-sensing unit for determining a relative position in one or more dimensions of two units. One or more position-sensing units can be used in a multidimensional pointer, such as a control lever, for controlling a position in up to six dimensions of, e.g., and object on a display. A position-sensing unit comprises a radiation source, a detector and a screen element arranged in the beam path for partial screening off of radiation. The radiation source and the detector comprise individual or separate fields for emitting or detecting radiation, in which case it is possible to distinguish radiation associated with one field from radiation associated with other fields. The determination of a position is carried out based on a comparison between the intensities of non-screened-off radiation associated with the different fields. A radiation-spreading medium can be used in the fields to create "virtual" radiation surfaces and detector surfaces, respectively, in combination with separate radiation units and detector units, respectively.

Abstract: A radar test system for testing a collision avoidance radar system. The radar test system includes circuitry to downconvert a signal from the collision avoidance radar to an intermediate frequency signal, to delay the intermediate frequency signal to simulate the delay of a return signal from an object located a particular distance from the collision avoidance radar system, and to upconvert and transmit the intermediate frequency signal back to the collision avoidance radar system to determine if the collision avoidance radar system provides accurate distance readings. The radar test system further couples the intermediate frequency signal to a spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer can be used to determine if the collision avoidance radar system is operating within the 76-77 GHz frequency band allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The radar test system further couples the intermediate frequency signal to a power meter. The power meter can be utilized to determine the power of the signal transmitted from the collision avoidance radar system.

Abstract: The integrated-optical chemical and/or biochemical sensor comprises a resonant waveguide structure (1). A chemical and/or biochemical substance (2) to be sensed can be deposited on a surface of the waveguide structure (1). Incident light (31) is coupled into the waveguide structure (1) by a grating structure (G), making use of a first set of degrees of freedom. The incoupled light (32) interacts with the substance (2), which emits fluorescent light (42). Fluorescent light (42) is coupled out by the same grating structure (G), making use of a second set of degrees of freedom which differs from the first set of degrees of freedom in at least one degree of freedom. For example, the incident light (31) is coupled in using a first diffraction order mg,ex = 1, and the emitted (42) light is coupled out using a second, different diffraction order mg,em = 2. By this measure, the emitted outcoupled light (43) is clearly separated from exciting light (33) which is reflected and/or coupled out using the first diffraction order mg,ex = 1. Such a clear separation increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor signal.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: System, method, and computer readable medium for examining a file (1) associated with an originating computer (2) to determine whether a virus is present within the file (1). File (1) contains at least one sector and is scanned by an antivirus module (3). An identification and hash value of each scanned sector, a date of an update to antivirus module (3), and a version number of antivirus module (3) are stored into a critical sectors file (4). Hash values can be calculated by an antivirus accelerator module (5). An authentication module (12) affixes a digital signature to critical sectors file (4). File (1), critical sectors file (4), and digital signature (15) are then transmitted over network (14) to a recipient computer (11). File (1) sectors that were scanned by originating computer (2) are examined by antivirus module (3'). Each of these sectors again has its hash value calculated and compared with the hash value of the corresponding sector as stored within critical sectors file (4). When any calculated hash value fails to match a corresponding stored hash value for any sector, antivirus module (3') is commanded to rescan the entire file (1). Recipient computer (11) decrypts the digital signature (15) produced by originating computer (2) to verify the authenticity of the contents of critical sectors file (4).
