Inventor: SALMON ANTHONY
IPC: F24C7/00
Filed: 1986-05-15
Abstract: An electrical heating appliance, e.g. a radiant fire, has manual switches which can be by-passed to allow for remote control. A hand-held controller (27) produces a beam of infra-red energy which impinges on a sensor (26). Control box (24) receives command signals from sensor (26) and carries out an appropriate switching operation. The controller (27) has slider switches (29, 30, 31) for selecting the desired heating appliance mode of operation, but these are ineffective until pressure switch (28) is pressed to produce the beam. 
     An alternative arrangement has the sensor distant from the heating appliance.

Abstract: An integral disposable absorbent article such as a diaper having a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, at least one elastically contractible gasketing cuff, and at least one barrier cuff. The barrier cuff has a proximal edge and a distal edge. The absorbent article is additionally provided with spacing means for spacing the distal edge away from the top surface of the topsheet. In addition, adhesive means secure the end portions of the barrier cuff closed. A channel is formed between the proximal and distal edges in at least the crotch region because the distal edge is spaced away from the topsheet top surface.When the diaper embodiment of the present invention is applied to a wearer, the barrier cuff rides up along the inner thighs and the perineum of the wearer in the crotch region and along the buttocks in the back waist region. Leakage prevention is enhanced because body exudates which are not immediately absorbed by the absorbent core contact the barrier cuff and are contained and held within the channel so that they do not wick out of the diaper or flow out of the gaps between the diaper and the legs or waist of the wearer. Additionally, should such exudates flow beyond the barrier cuff, leakage is further enhanced by the gasketing cuff because it forms an additional fluid impervious barrier about the leg or waist of the wearer.

Abstract: A transport (20) for a rectangular tape cartridge (22) enclosing a supply reel (24) having a web of magnetic tape wound thereabout terminating in a free end attached to a leader block. The illustrated embodiment of the transport (20) is designed to fit within the computer industry standard 5 ¼-inch form factor and utilizes the ½-inch tape cartridge defined in Proposed American National Standard X3B5/85-075. An elongate rectangular housing (38) has internal mechanisms for supporting the tape cartridge therein and referencing the cartridge off its side surfaces. The cartridge (22) is manually inserted into the housing (38) through a slot in a face panel extending across a transverse end of the housing (38). Electro-mechanical assemblies lock the cartridge in place and complete the loading sequence by engaging a drive chuck with the hub of the supply reel (24), extracting the leader block from the cartridge (22), and pulling the leader block to the take-up (219) hub to thread the tape along a tape path. A gear driven articulated arm (168) has an outer end which is guided along a hook-shaped track (162) and carries the leader block into engagement with a receptacle (224) in the take-up hub (219). Precision transverse movement of a magnetic head (226) in the tape path is accomplished by a stepper motor coupled to a band drive through a worm gear reduction.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical character reader (OCR) utilizing prioritized horizontal OR ranges for enhanced accuracy and ease of use. A light source (24) illuminates a price tag or the like on which characters have been imprinted generally along a horizontal direction of the sheet (23). A lens system (25) images the characters onto an image sensor (26) having a field of vision covering a plurality of characters, the image sensor (26) including a plurality of photo-electric conversion elements arranged in a matrix. A binary coding circuit (27) digitizes outputs of the photo-electric conversion elements, which define picture elements (pixels), of an image in the field of vision of the image sensor (26), into binary signals representing black and white picture elements. A hand holdable scanner (21) incorporates the light source (24), image sensor (26), lens system (25) and binary coding circuit (27). An identifying circuit (12) identifies characters from binary-coded data. The OCR utilizes at least two horizontal OR ranges in the field of vision of the image sensor (26). When the horizontal OR range of higher priority detects a character line, the result of character line detection is output. When none of the horizontal OR ranges detects a character line, it is determined that there is no character line. The character line detecting operation of each of the horizontal   OR ranges is the same as that in the conventional OCR. However, in the OCR according to the present invention, the horizontal OR ranges are spread horizontally. Therefore, even in the case of a price tag which is long enough to have characters arranged along one of its sides, the character line or lines can be positively detected. Since at least two horizontal OR ranges are provided in the field of vision of the image sensor (26), therefore the pattern of the background of the price tag and the characters on the price tag can be distinguished from each other. This means that the OCR can be used for relatively small in size price tags. The OCR conserves electric power when it is not actively "reading" data by suspending its character identifying operations when not needed. Lines having no characters are identified and, in response, character identifying operations are stopped.

Abstract: The method is relatively simple and cheap. The names which are to be stored are spoken by a subscriber and converted by a vocoder (14) into digital signals. These are stored in a semiconductor memory (13). The subscriber keys in the telephone numbers associated with the names by means of a keypad (10), which in each case transfers the selected telephone number in digitised form to the semiconductor memory. By pressing a key (17), the subscriber can retrieve the stored names successively from the semiconductor memory and have them announced by the decoder (14). If the subscriber hears the required name, he prompts the semiconductor memory (13) to supply the telephone number associated with the name by pressing a further key (19). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Pixel information for image display is available in a mass memory as two sets of digital data of which, a first set represents values for the difference between pixel component values for an image of a given (enchanced) resolution and pixel component values for an image of lower resolution of the same pixel density, and a second set represents a lesser number of pixel component values for the lower resolution image but of reduce pixel density. In order to obtain pixel component values for displaying the enhanced resolution image, the first and second set of digital data are decoded and the pixel component values from the second set are expanded by interpolation and then added to the difference values from the first set. Different embodiments of display apparatus are described in which a display generator performs these operations in real time for a raster scan display device. This enables the two sets of digital data to be transferred from the mass memory to a display memory of the display apparatus without being recoded, thereby achieving more efficient use of the display memory. Figure 6 gives a general layout of the display apparatus.

Abstract: An improved process for removing free liquid from a hydrocarbon-rich gas stream is disclosed. Liquid is injected into the gas stream upstream of a chiller and downstream of an acid-gas removal system and any equipment that may affect the water content of the gas stream: compressors, columns, additional knockout drums, heat exchangers or the like. This enhances heat and mass transfer in a manner that both minimizes the formation of small droplets and encourages the coalescence of small droplets in the chiller. As a result, small droplets which would normally pass through a knockout drum and a standard mist eliminator are increased in size, prior to their arrival at a vapor-liquid separator to larger drops which are easily removed by the vapor-liquid separator, and the mist eliminator.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of extracting components from particulate materials, for example, from ground seed particles fed from a mill 2. The method includes the steps of mixing the particles with a polar solvent from a feed line 14 in a mixing zone 16 to provide a slurry. The slurry is then passed through an extraction zone 22. A non-polar solvent from a feed line 24 is passed countercurrently to the slurry through the extraction zone 22. The non-polar solvent has a different density from the polar solvent and is substantially immiscible with the polar solvent. The non-polar solvent with non-polar components dissolved therein is separated into a non-polar solvent fraction 32 and an oil fraction 34 in a solvent recovery unit 28. The polar solvent with dissolved components therein and the entrained particles leave the extraction zone 22 and the solid particles are separated in a separation zone 35. This process is particularly beneficial for use in the extraction of ground oil-seed particles.
