IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 1999-05-24
Abstract: A rotary position detector is provided for detecting the relative position between two relatively rotatable members, the first member comprising first and second magnetic field generators and the second member comprising first and second sensors for respectively sensing the magnetic fields generated by the first and second magnetic field generators. The magnetic field generators are arranged to generate magnetic fields which spatially vary in a cyclic manner with different angular frequencies. The magnetic field generator which generates the magnetic field with the lower angular frequency is arranged so that it does not generate harmonic components which are around the angular frequency of the second magnetic field generator. This reduces the effect of distortion when there is a misalignment between the magnetic field generators and the sensors.

Abstract: This invention relates to a floor mat (12) which comprises a nonwoven substrate (16) through which carpet pile fibers (14) are tufted. The bottoms of the tufts (18) are adhered to a rubber backing sheet (20). The foam rubber backing sheet (20) either exhibits the same degree of shrinkage as the carpet pile component (14) or possesses a strength modulus above about 1,000 pounds per square inch. With such backing sheet requirements either the overall shrinkage of the mat (12) will be even or the backing sheet (20) will be strong enough to compensate for varying degrees of shrinkage between the pile substrate (16) and the backing sheet (20). The resultant floor mat (12) is the first such mat which meets industrial laundry standards of rippling (i.e., curling up) and delaminating (i.e., loosening and ultimate falling out of tufted pile fibers) which also utilizes a nonwoven carpet pile substrate (16) and which must also be able to withstand vigorous laundry processes without either damaging the subject rotary washer or centrifugal dryer or becoming damaged itself upon exposure to such harsh conditions.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus is provided for a hand-held imager preferably to provide diffuse illumination for encoded symbology carried directly upon an article (component, etc) or upon a substrate carried by an article. The illumination apparatus is disposed proximate the front of the hand-held imager and is configured to permit light reflected from the target to pass through the illumination apparatus and onto a CCD image receiver. An array of unlensed LED's is disposed to cast approximately or substantially lambertian illumination in a direction away from the target to be imaged and into the hand-held housing to impinge upon surfaces of an illuminator to receive the illumination and, in turn, project efficient and diffuse dark field illumination through the array of unlensed LED's and towards and onto a location where a target to be imaged would be disposed. The illumination apparatus further includes a bright field illumination source including a plurality of forward facing (towards the target) lensed LED's.

Abstract: For 'Super Audio CD' (SACD) the DSD signals are losslessly coded, using framing, prediction and entropy coding. Besides the efficiently encoded signals, a large number of parameters, i.e. the side-information, has to be stored on the SACD too. The side information comprises the prediction filter coefficients and the probability table which have been used for encoding, and which should be transmitted to the decoder. The smaller the storage capacity that is required for the side-information, the better the overall coding gain is. Therefore coding techniques are applied to the side-information too so as to compress the amount of data of the side information. The frames can be segmented, each segment having its own set of filter coefficients and probability table.
