Inventor: MEREDITH PHILIP
IPC: F26B21/00
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: An exhaust hood captures and contains a thermal plume with a minimum of exhaust air by defining a short-throw planar jet around a protected perimeter. Corner interference is mitigated by various mechanisms including having at least one of adjacent planar jets run only partly along a respective edge such that said first and second curtain jets do not meet at said corner; having a direction of the planar jets proximate corners where they meet being intermediate between respective directions of the jets along respective main portions of the perimeter; or having a direction of the jets of one of the adjacent edges be horizontal while the other is vertical.

Abstract: A decoding section 111 decodes inputted coded
data to image data and outputs it to an image data
writing section 112 whenever necessary. The
decoding section 111 outputs a decode completion
notice signal to an image data reading section 114
and control signal generating section 115 every time
when outputting a predetermined amount of image data
(for example, an amount corresponding to one frame) .
The image data writing section 112 writes image data
to the storing section 113 whenever necessary. An
image data reading section 114 operates
intermittently with timing when the decode
completion notice signal is input thereto, and reads
a predetermined amount of image data from the storage
section 113. The control signal generating section
115 generates a control signal 206 that instructs
a new portion in image data decoded by decoding means.
Then, the control signal generating section 115
outputs the control signal 206 from the image data
output section 116 with timing when the image data
reading section 114 inputs the decode completion
notice signal 204. This makes it possible to
intermittently transfer image data to a display
device 121 from a decoding apparatus 101 without
providing an auxiliary circuit to the outer section
and to miniaturize a mobile terminal device for image 
communication, and to improve a reduction in power
consumption, resulting in a reduction of a processing
load required to monitor MPU.

Abstract: A structural part includes a plate-shaped base body and ribs that extend longitudinally approximately parallel to one another, and that are joined integrally to and protrude orthogonally from the base body. In a shaping method, the structural part is shaped by particles of blasting or peening shot, which strike the surface areas of the structural part at a high velocity to cause a plastic deformation thereof. Opposite surface areas of the ribs, located on opposite longitudinal sides of each rib, are simultaneously subjected to the action of particles of the blasting shot. An apparatus to perform the method includes two nozzles arranged facing toward one another with the rib therebetween, to form two jets of the blasting shot particles directed toward one another at the rib.

Abstract: A method for continuously determining the required dynamic range for
an analog-to-digital converter by determining the received signal strength and
using this received signal strength value in combination with the overall
dynamic range for the ADC and the target resolution of the ADC to decode a
radio channel in the absence of interference, wherein the target resolution is
also related to the type of decoding to be performed subsequent to analog-to-digital
conversion. The method allows for a reduction in power consumption
associated with the ADC, especially when the incoming signal is received with
few interfering radio channels and with a relatively high signal strength. The
present method can be combined with gain control and analog alert detection.

Abstract: A scanning system for directing a light beam to selected location to
illuminate randomly positioned items as they are conveyed on a moving conveyor,
the scanning system includes an image detector for locating the items as they pass
through a predefined viewing area, a position detector for detecting the position of
the item, a beam director for receiving a beam from at least one source and
redirecting the beam to one of a plurality of target scanner assemblies. Each target
scanner assembly includes a beam deflector mounted in the path of the light beam to
further direct the beam to a selected location within a two dimensional target area,
and a focusing optical element mounted in the path of the light beam downstream
from the beam deflector to focus the light beam and provide a generally uniform light
power density along a focal surface. The scanning system also includes a control
with logic for processing the image data acquired from the image detector to identify
the item as the item passes through the viewing area, and, when desired, targeting
a selected item in the target area and generating the control signals necessary to
operate the light beam director and the target scanner assembly to direct the beam at
the item. This scanning system may be employed in a system for sorting randomly
positioned, irregularly shaped scrap metal particles on a moving conveyor employing
laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), including the scanner assembly, a
light collector, a light distribution and spectral analyzer for isolating and measuring
at least one selected band from the collected light, a separator, and suitable logic for
identifying the particles, monitoring their position, monitoring the output of the laser
and operating the scanner assembly to direct the pulses to the identified particle. The
spectral data is then analyzed, each particle is categorized, and thereafter sorted.
