Abstract: A machine or process for comparing fingerprints based on the correspondence between fingerspring minutiae. 
     The pattern of minutiae in an unknown or search fingerprint is rotated and translated to obtain approximate registration with the pattern of minutiae in a known on file fingerprint. Following rotation and translation, only those search and file fingerprints that exhibit a sufficient number of mating minutiae between the fingerprints are compared further. 
     For each pair of mating search and file minutiae, the neighboring mating minutiae are compared and an individual minutia "match score" is determined based on the degree of correspondence between the other mating pairs of minutiae within a specified neighborhood of the individual pair of mating search and file minutiae. The individual "match scores" for each of the mating minutiae are summed to yield a total score that is indicative of the correspondence between the search and the file fingerprints.

Abstract: Epitaxial npn transistors are built up on a heavily n-doped substrate (1) which may contain p-doping impurities, especially boron. The emitter and base zones (3, 4) are driven in at high temperatures which simultaneously expel the impurities from the substrate (1). Consequently, either a p-doped intermediate layer is formed between transistor and substrate or a high-resistance intermediate layer is produced by counterdoping. This results either in an undesirable thyristor effect, which may lead to the destruction of the devices, or in an increase in the spreading resistance. To avoid these effects, an n-doped intermediate layer (9) whose doping exceeds that of the epitaxial layer by a factor of 2 to 100 is laid down between the substrate and the transistor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronic engine control system is proposed utilizing a digital microprocessor for controlling the timing mechanism (13) and fuel pump rack limit (23) to set the engine timing of, and maximum allowable rate of fuel delivery to, an integral combustion engine (11) so that maximum engine performance is obtained with smoke and emissions limited to required levels. A plurality of timing maps (61-64) are provided, for different modes of engine operation, each map having predetermined timing control signals values programmed therein corresponding to the optimal timing advance at a particular engine speed, or particular optimal timing advance at a particular engine speed, or a particular combination of engine speed and position of the fuel rack (21). A timing map selector (65) identifies the mode of engine operation and selects the appropriate timing map (61-64) to control the timing mechanism (13) by the particular programmed signal for the existing engine speed and fuel rack position. A similar map (71-74) will output a particular programmed fuel/air signal in accordance with the existing engine speed and timing, the fuellair signal having been predetermined to correspond to the maximum fuel/air ratio for fuel combusion to meet set limits for that engine speed and timing. The fuel/air signal is multiplied in accordance with existing manifold pressure and the resultant fuel delivery signal is used to set the rack limit for maximum allowable fuel delivery to the engine.

Abstract: Successive runlength codes corresponding to input data are read from a conversion table (111). A register (116) holds a last read runlength code or an added runlength code as explained below. It is detected by means of a D-type flip-flop (114) and an exclusive OR gate (115) whether a last read runlength code and a next read runlength code relate to runlengths of bits of the same value (1 or 0). If it is detected that the last read and next read codes relate to runlengths of bits of the same value, an adder 112 adds the runlength code held in the register (116) and the next read runlength code and places the resulting added runlength code in the register (116). 
     Data conversion apparatus and character code character pattern conversion apparatus functioning in this way are provided.

Abstract: The shaft of each tap carries four radial arms and three cams also spaced at 90 deg. but in different planes co-operating with respective switches. Three keys for each tap corresponds to full-on, half-on and off settings. As the rail reciprocates, two pegs are projected forward by a small square when an electromagnet is energised by an arm closing switch contacts at the respective ends of its travel. The pegs engage the tap arms to effect rotation in 90 deg. steps in accordance with the key positions. The motor which drives a crank causing the reciprocating motion is switched so that the rail comes to rest always in the same position, irrespective of the switching instant of each cam-operated switch.

Abstract: The invention concerns a halter having a halter clamp connecting to a nosepiece, a head piece and two chin straps which are suspended in eyelets on both ends and between the ends of the clamp body. In order to avoid the danger of the origin of chafe marks on the horse's head and the danger of collisions with the harness bit snaffle ring, the clamp body of the halter clamp is crescent-shaped in the plane of the horse's head against which the clamp lies, and also laterally curved away from the horse's head. The upper eyelet is preferably round and is provided for suspension of the upper chin strap as well as of the halter head piece. Spindles on this eyelet serve for better fixing of the halter parts. The lower chin strap is fastened to the lower eyelet and the nose piece is fastened to the middle eyelet.

Abstract: An orifice meter including a carrier, which is movable between two parallel body walls while maintaining sealing engagement therewith. In one position it seals around the pipeline flow passage, and in a second position it seals around an orifice disc service opening in one of the body plates. A small, axially movable valve plug in the body plate adjacent the service opening is operative in one position to equalize the pressure in the space within the carrier seals with the rest of the valve body and in a second position to vent that space to atmosphere. Interengaging means on the valve plug and a rotatable closure for the service opening prevent removal of the closure unless the valve plug is in its venting position. The valve plug has two annular grooves, each carrying an 0-ring to seal against inner surfaces of axially aligned inner equalizing passage and outer vent passage. A transfer duct opens from between the two passages to the space within the service opening. Bypass ducts opening from the grooves prevent 0-ring dislodgement.

Abstract: A surgical implement comprising an irrigator/evacuator includes a reservoir (14) connected to one side of the barrel (10) of a pump having an outlet opening (11) at one end. Fluid can be displaced outwardly and withdrawn into the implement by means of a compression bulb (12) or other suitable device. A free piston (15) is housed in the barrel (10) so as to be movable in either direction by fluid flow. The piston is retracted by inflowing liquid and thereby allows free passage of pieces of tissue or other material from the opening (11) towards the reservoir (14). Outward displacement of the fluid causes the piston (15) to move towards the outlet end of the barrel (10), in which position it effectively prevents such pieces of tissue from being returned through the opening (11) without significantly restricting fluid flow.
