Patent EP-0601515-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MIYAZAKI SHINICHI C O NEC CORP
IPC: H03B5/36
Filed: 1993-12-06
Abstract: An oscillation circuit using a quartz oscillator. When the output level of the oscillation circuit falls, the reactance of the quartz oscillator is changed such that the circuit oscillates at a frequency which reduces the resistance of the oscillator. Hence, the oscillation of the circuit does not fall in level or does not stop without regard to temperature and other ambient conditions.

Title: Matrix display, particularly of large size and method of manufacturing such a matrix display
Inventor: SPINNLER VINCENT
IPC: G02F1/1333
Filed: 1993-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to matrix-type viewing or detecting displays formed by assembling several elementary displays. The matrix display of the invention includes several elementary displays (E1 to E4) abutted via one of their sides (10, 11). According to one characteristic of the invention, each elementary display (E1 to E4) includes a mechanical stop device (B1 to B4) cooperating with a mechanical stop device of an elementary display with which it abuts, so as to carry out the relative positioning between these elementary displays. These arrangements avoid lengthy and difficult aligning and indexing operations when assembling the elementary displays (E1 to E4), which operations are now accomplished when partitioning the elementary displays which already of itself necessitates the use of accurate aligning and indexing means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present patent of invention provides the utilization of particular shifting assemblies which permit to enhance the capacity of intervention and the possibilities of adjusting and moving the milling assemblies in "edge polishing" machines. 
     In fact, a horizontal mills holder bar (6) in an edge polishing machine on which the said assemblies are mounted is fixed in horizontal shafts (8) which are pivoted on plates which slide vertically on side uprights (9). 
     Other plates (10) are fixed on the shafts (8) supporting the bar (6). Such plates (10) support movers which are provided with pinions (12) which make the mills holder bar itself pivot on the shafts (8) on which the bar is pivoted. 
     Finally, the same uprights (9) are arranged on horizontal guides (21) which are placed in the upper part of a fixed framework (5). 
     All the shiftings of the mills holder bar along the respective vertical and horizontal guides and around its own axis are accomplished through a chain and/or gear system which is actuated by motors, re-circulating ball screws, racks, hydraulic cylinders or other similar moving means.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un levier de commande qui est à la fois connecté par une liaison mécanique à un mécanisme devant être manoeuvré dans deux directions au moins et connecté électriquement via des commutateurs (15) à un organe de positionnement électrique. Ce levier de commande comprend un pommeau (10) soutenu par une de ses extrémités, pommeau qui est mobile dans différentes directions radialement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (22) du levier et qui est pourvu d'une cavité dans laquelle s'étend le levier (11a) et d'une surface périphérique (12) séparée par un espace libre de la surface externe du levier. Cet espace libre contient d'une part au moins un élément de contact électrique mobile en forme d'anneau, constituant une pièce du commutateur, cet élément étant connecté au pommeau et destiné à accompagner celui-ci dans ses mouvements radiaux, et d'autre part un élément de centrage élastique en forme d'anneau (14) qui repose avec l'une de ses périphéries sur la surface périphérique de la cavité et avec son autre périphérie sur le levier. Cet élément de centrage (14) pousse l'élément de contact à venir se centrer sur le levier, de sorte que tout mouvement latéral manuel du pommeau par rapport au levier dans n'importe laquelle de ses différentes directions déplace l'élément de contact en forme d'anneau radialement dans l'une des diverses positions de contact différentes, en contact avec le second élément de contact formé par la face extérieure du levier. L'élément de contact en forme d'anneau (15) comporte au moins une pièce d'espacement élastique (21) qui est maintenue en support contre la surface périphérique (12) de la cavité. Les mouvements du levier vers l'intérieur de la cavité sont limités par des surfaces de butée (13, 18), l'élément de contact en forme d'anneau (15) ne présentant ainsi qu'une mobilité résiduelle lorsque le levier a atteint les surfaces de butée.

Abstract: A method of forming an image representing fat distribution in a tissue based on the fat constitution from the tomographic data. The method comprises: the steps (D1 and D7) of obtaining two tomographic data by scanning a subject and a phantom under different tube voltages, said phantom being charged with a standard fat substance in addition to a bone-salt equivalent, the steps (D2 and D8) of detecting the CT value of each pixel in the whole or target region of the tomographic data as αwf (CT value of tissue including fat), the steps (D3 and D9) of detecting the CT value of the bone-salt equivalent to calculate the regression line between the CT value and the density of the bone-salt equivalent, thus defining the CT value as αnf (CT value of tissue not including fat), the steps (D4 and D10) of detecting αff (CT value of standard fat substance), the steps (D5 and D11) of detecting the CT value of the blood part as αst (CT value of standard soft tissue substance), the steps (D6 and D12) of correlating each CT value with the formula        αwt = αnf + β·{αff-αst}           (formula A), wherein β serves as a fat rate parameter, the step (D13) of calculating the β value of each pixel in the whole or target region of the tomographic data from the regression line and the formula A with attention paid to the fact that the density of the bone-salt equivalent remains constant even in the scanning under different tube voltages, and the step (D14) of forming the image based on the parameter β.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for counting the number of microorganism colonies present on a disposable microorganism culturing device having a substantially planar substrate. The preferred apparatus (10) of the present invention includes an LED bar (20) illuminating the surface of the substrate and a linear array of SELFOC lenses (22) which focus the light reflected off of the substrate onto a linear CCD sensor array (24). The CCD sensor array (24) is connected to a microprocessor (32) which analyzes the raster-scanned data using the preferred algorithm. The preferred algorithm used the sigma-shaped neighborhood for image processing. The preferred algorithm passes the sigma region across the image in a raster-scanned order to detect object starts and merges which yield a colony count for a scanned microorganism culturing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a mould for producing plastic articles, which have at least one plastic body and a film part (38, 50, 74), the plastic body being moulded onto the film part (38, 50, 74) in a mould. It is proposed that the film (34) is inserted into the mould (13, 24) and that the film part (38, 50, 74) is punched out by means of a cutting die (28, 44, 68) of a punching device (24) and that the plastic body is moulded onto the film part (38, 50, 74) in the same mould (13, 24). The mould for carrying out the method is accordingly designed such that the film part (38, 50, 74) punched out by the punching device (24) can be inserted by means of the punching device (24) into the injection-moulding device (13). As a result, the handling costs caused by the inserting of the film parts (38, 50, 74) are reduced and incorrect insertion is avoided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pair of tubular joint members (31,32) each have a gasket holding annular protuberance (33,34) on an abutting end face thereof. The protuberance has an inner peripheral surface continuous with the inner peripheral surface of the joint member, and a sealing face adapted to intimately contact an end face of of a gasket (20) at a position radially outward from the inner peripheral surface thereof. The sealing face is most protuberant at a position radially outward from an inner edge thereof. When the most protuberant end of the sealing face comes into contact with the gasket end face, a clearance is formed between the portion of the sealing face radially inward from the protuberant end and the radially inward portion of the gasket end face. The clearance is eliminated by the deformation of the gasket when the pipe joint is tightened up.
