Title: Video signal convertion
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 1990-11-30
Abstract: A general purpose scan converter for converting video signals from one scan rate to another scan rate accepts NTSC, PAL, EGA, VGA, or other inputs in standard video formats and convert them to be displayed on a monitor. Several modes of operation including continuous frame grabbing, grab and hold image, and dynamic scaling are provided. In addition, window sizing and window location options are under user control. The input sources for video may be selected, and a robust voltage controlled oscillator is provided for timing. The converter device operates continuously in real time and provides a high resolution output signal to a monitor. Special effects such as clipping of overlapping windows, superimposing graphics or text, and animation are supported. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0389409-A3 (EP)
Title: Oil or gas burner
IPC: F23D14/36
Filed: 1990-02-07
Abstract: The burner has a radial blower with a pressure-generating chamber (31), the external walling (26) of which runs spirally. The pressure- generating chamber is essentially wider than the fan wheel (27) but, in the region of the air outlet (35), has a first blocking means in the form of a bulwark (37). The air inlet (33) to the pressure- generating chamber (31) is arranged on the periphery of this chamber and more specifically axially staggered in relation to the fan wheel (27). Between the air inlet (33) and the air outlet (35), there are second blocking means. These second blocking means (39) have a part (42) which is concentric with the fan wheel (27) and a part (43) which extends from the concentric part (42) as far as the proximity of the inner edges of the blades (41). The outlet chamber (55) has an outlet opening (57), through which combustion air can flow to the burner head. This radial blower is very compact but makes it possible to generate a relatively high pressure, as is required for burners, in which the combustion air is delivered through an air screen in order to obtain recirculation of combustion gases. By means of recirculation of the combustion gases, a relatively favourable flame temperature can be brought about, which extensively excludes the formation of nitrogen oxide. <IMAGE>

Title: Bidet for a water closet
IPC: E03D9/08
Filed: 1991-03-22
Abstract: The bidet has a nozzle arm (41), a hydraulic drive (33) for moving the nozzle arm (41), a water heater (44) and a water distributor (1). The water distributor (1) has a servo valve (16) which can be opened with a push button (23). When the servo valve (16) is open, water flows from an inlet (11) into a pressure chamber (24) of the drive (33), which causes the nozzle arm (41) to be pushed into the working position. The water distributor (1) also has a control valve (34) with a slide (3) which can be controlled by means of a control knob (22). The slide (3) covers an outlet (27) which leads via a hose pipe to the water heater (44), and this in turn leads via a hose pipe (46) to the nozzle arm (41). By turning the control knob (22), the amount of douching water can be regulated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To produce a desired sheet orientaion between upstream and
downstream positions of a sheet path along which sheets travel
successively in a predetermined sheet travel direction, each sheet is
driven uniformly along the path with an intermediate phase in which the
sheet is driven differentially to rotate the sheet without changing its
velocity component in the sheet travel direction. If the sheet has a
skew or an offset error, the amount of rotation and its starting point
are adjusted appropriately to compensate for both.

Patent EP-0773534-A3 (EP)
IPC: G11B5/29
Filed: 1996-11-06
Abstract: Magnetic recording and reproducing linear 
thin film head arrays (30) particularly for use for 
recording and reading information on a magnetics-on-film 
(MOF) layer (28) in the image area of photographic 
filmstrips (10) and particularly a configuration and 
mounting of such heads to achieve high compliance with 
the relatively stiff filmstrip and MOF layer in cameras 
or other filmstrip handling apparatus without damaging 
the filmstrip. When constrained in the film transport 
path, the filmstrip assumes a convex cross film 
curvature on the MOF layer side approximated by a sixth 
order polynomial having even terms only. A base line 
for the deposition of thin film head layers of each 
head of the array on a linear substrate is approximated 
by the sixth order polynomial having even terms only. 
After deposition of the thin film layers, the linear 
head array is shaped to the cross film curvature, and 
the lapped head surfaces are aligned with the base 
line. Preferably, at least one electrical lapping 
guide is deposited on the substrate in relation to the 
linear array of magnetic head elements and the base 
line, wherein the head element layer height is 
controlled in the head fabrication processing by 
monitoring the electrical resistance of the electrical 
lapping guide during shaping of the convex curvature of 
the head surface.

Title: Dichotomous scan system for detection of edges of objects and overlapped objects having relatively uniform surfaces
Inventor: MONDIE GEORGE R
IPC: B65H7/12
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: Apparatus and method for detection of leading and trailing edges of objects moving along a defined path. A light radiation source directs a light beam toward a beamspot on the path. Light reflected from the beamspot is received by two light sensors. An edge of an object moving along the defined path substantially blocks the light from being received by one light sensor. Circuitry is provided for distinguishing the difference in reflected light received at each light sensor and determining whether the leading edge or trailing edge of the object is blocking the reflected light. Length of detections (leading and trailing edges) and time interval between the detections of the leading and trailing edge are processed to provide information about the object such as height of the leading and trailing edges of the object and length of the object. Further processing or leading and trailing edge detections can detect overlapped objects having relatively uniform surfaces. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0758085-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BECK DAVID A
IPC: G01N22/00
Filed: 1996-05-30
Abstract: An instrument (10) and methods are disclosed for determining
one or more physical properties (e.g. moisture) of a web or other
material. A resonant cavity (50) in a receptacle (32) of the
instrument resonates at a known band of frequencies, the
instrument (10) generating in (14) a constant frequency signal within
the known band, and at (16) it divides the signal into a measuring
signal and a reference signal. In use, with the instrument
proximate the web, the measuring signal is passed into the
resonant cavity (50), a first fraction passing through the resonant
cavity, incurring a phase shift, while a A second fraction is
reflected from the cavity. The phase shift in the measuring
signal is compared in phase difference detector (36) to the
reference signal, and a first output signal is sent to a
controller (58), while the magnitude of the reflected signal is
determined by a power detector (26), and a second output signal is
sent to the controller (58). Using the first and second output
signals, the controller calculates a resultant property value
(e.g. moisture content), using the combined values of phase shift
and reflected power to cancel out the effect of distance of the
e.g. moisture from the resonant cavity. The instrument (10) can
also determine length, speed of travel, temperature, and
vibration, of the web, and the controller (58) can combine such
measurements mathematically, determining the location in the web
of, for example, given readings of moisture and temperature, as
well as the general condition of the web.
