Abstract: A filter comprises a filter cartridge (161) and a housing (160) defining a chamber. The filter cartridge (161) is disposed in the chamber and a keying mechanism is cooperatively arranged with the housing and the filter cartridges to centre the filter cartridges in the filter cartridge chamber. In addition, the housing (160) includes a bowl (162) which has a bottom wall and a side wall, a head (163), an let (15a) and outlet (15b) and a vent (15c). The inlet (15a), the outlet (15b) and the vent (15c) are formed in the head (163) of the housing (160). The filtration cartridge (161) includes a blind end cap at a lower end of the filter cartridge (161) which has a bottom surface inclines upwardly towards a flow channel. The bottom of the bowl (162) has an interior surface that inclines upwardly towards the flow channel and a bottom surface of the lower end cap (163) and the interior surface of the bottom of the bowl (162) are closely fitted to one another, keying the filter cartridge (161) within the housing (160).

Abstract: An image, such as an X-ray, is enhanced through local enhancement of the contrast of the image's point intensities. A first, low frequency upper curve is fitted to the local maximums and a second independent, low frequency lower curve is fit to the local minimums, forming a fairway with the raw image data residing therebetween. A local range, between the fairway local maximum intensity and fairway local minimum intensity, is extracted for each point. Each point is scaled by the ratio between the fairway's local range and the dynamic range for the image so as to maximize its variation in intensity between it and its neighboring points. Preferably an iterative moving average technique is used to establish the fairway curves. In a preferred embodiment, outlier points scaled outside the fairway are temporarily stored at higher precision than the dynamic range. A histogram of the fairway corrected data is formed, having a range greater than the dynamic range and encompassing substantially all the outlier points. Only the most deviant of the outliers are trimmed in this histogram correction and the resulting range limits for the entire image are scaled to the dynamic range.</PTEXT>

Abstract: A second-order filter that blends accurate position information from a one source, and velocity information from another source, both suitably scaled, in a second-order complementary filter. The filter is arranged such that an internal integrator maintains a value that represents the difference in the rate of change of the accurate position information, and the velocity input of the other source. This velocity difference is applied to another integrator outside the filter, whose initial condition is the position error between the two sources to the second order filter. The output of this latter integrator is a correction signal that grows at a rate equal and opposite to the rate of error build-up of position data from the source whose velocity is used in the second order filter. This correction signal is summed with the original position signal. In addition, the output of the second order filter may be used as a highly accurate position signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a jack with supporting parts, which are provided as profiles that have U-shaped cross-sections and lateral profile limbs (15, 17) or which are provided as elements with laterally elevated sheet metal lobes (13). Said supporting parts are pivotally interconnected by joints (5, 6) in such a manner that the lateral profile limbs (15, 17) and/or the elevated sheet metal lobes (13) overlap in the vicinity of the joints (5, 6), and arbors pass through borings in the lateral profile limbs (15, 17) or elevated sheet metal lobes (13). The aim of the invention is to reduce the weight of a jack of the aforementioned type as well as the risk of the profile limb (15, 17) kinking. To this end, the bottom of the U-shaped profile or element which, with the profile limbs (15) or sheet metal lobes (13) thereof, tightly surrounds the other profile or element, is provided with beads (19, 21) or lobes (24), which inwardly project and which are arranged inside, however, near the profile limbs (15, 17) or sheet metal lobes of the other profile or element.

Abstract: Plunger ( 10 ) for brewing a drink in a cup ( 12 ) includes two main components, a filter disc ( 20 ) and a frame ( 22 ). The filter disc ( 20 ) is shaped to extend across and abut an inside surface ( 24 ) of the cup ( 12 ). The frame ( 22 ) is dimensioned so that it can be wholly inserted into the cup ( 12 ) to be disposed below a mouth ( 18 ) of the cup. This allows a drink such as coffee or tea to be brewed in the cup from which it is to be consumed without the plunger ( 10 ) interfering with the drinking of the drink. The disc ( 20 ) is supported on the frame ( 22 ) to slide along upright posts ( 22 ). Thus the disc ( 20 ) can be pushed toward the bottom or ( 14 ) of the cup ( 12 ) that contain particulate materials such as coffee grounds or tea leaves used in brewing the drink. A heat shield ( 58 ) may be also supported on the frame ( 22 ) to minimise the rate of heat loss of a hot drink brewed in the cup ( 12 ) using the plunger ( 10 ).

Abstract: This invention provides a front side silicon micromachining process for the fabrication of suspended Porous Silicon membranes in the form of bridges or cantilevers and of thermal sensor devices employing these membranes. The fabrication of the suspended Porous Silicon membranes comprises the following steps: (a) formation of a Porous Silicon layer (2) in, at least one, predefined area of a Silicon substrate (1), (b) definition of etch windows (5) around or inside said Porous Silicon layer (2) using standard photolithography and (c) selective etching of the silicon substrate (1), underneath the Porous Silicon layer (2), by using dry etching techniques to provide release of the Porous Silicon membrane and to form a cavity (6) under the said Porous Silicon layer. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for the fabrication of thermal sensors based on Porous Silicon membranes with minimal thermal losses, since the proposed methodology combines the advantages that result from the low thermal conductivity of Porous Silicon and the use of suspended membranes. Moreover, the front-side micromachining process proposed in the present invention simplifies the fabrication process. Various types of thermal sensor devices, such as calorimetric-type gas sensors, conductometric type gas sensors and thermal conductivity sensors are described utilizing the proposed methodology.
