Title: Pusher mechanism for I.S. glass forming machine
Inventor: VOISINE GARY R
IPC: C03B35/10
Filed: 1997-12-04
Abstract: A pusher mechanism (10, Figure 1) is used for transferring a selected number of bottles 12 from a deadplate (14, Figure 1) of an I.S. (individual section) machine to a conveyor (16, Figure 1). The pusher comprises a finger assembly (18, Figure 1) which includes a back support portion 22 and a finger portion 26A,26B, these two portions being inclined with respect to each other and a pocket being defined at their juncture. To positively locate a bottle 12 in a pocket, an air jet 40 is directed at an acute angle from the free end of the finger portion 26A,26B, and as the pusher mechanism rotates, the jet of air 40 draws the bottle into the corner of the pocket. The inclination of the back support 22 and finger 26A,26B portions prevents the bottle 12 from bouncing back out of the pocket. Pads 28 may be provided to minimize damage to the bottle 12 as it enters the pocket. Preferably the air jet 40 is perpendicular to the back support portion 22. If the bottle 12 is deposited outside of the pocket defined by the back support 22 and finger 26A,26B portions (as seen in the bottom part of figure 2), a second air jet 41 may be provided, preferably perpendicularly to the finger portion 26A,26B, to assist in directing the bottle 12 to the corner of the pocket.

Title: Load limiting device for seat belt pretensioner
Inventor: SMITHSON ALAN GEORGE
IPC: B60R22/46
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: Load limiting device for a gas operated seat belt pretensioner comprising a vent 23 for venting pretensioning gas, a seal 24 for sealing the vent 23 and means to rupture the seal 24 after activation of the pretensioner. The rupture means may take the form of sharpened teeth 21 arranged on a flange 20 of the seat belt spool 22, the teeth being angled so that rupture of the seal 24 occurs only on pay-out of the seat belt. Alternatively the rupture means may be attached to, and movable with, the seat belt webbing in such a way so as to break the seal only on pay-out of the seat belt. The seal 24 is preferably bulbous with a U-shaped cross-section and resilient so that it remains in a retracted position (as shown in figure 2) until extended by the release of pretensioning gas (to the position shown in figure 3). In the event of a crash, after pretensioning has occurred rupture of the seal 24 and subsequent venting of pretensioning gas allows a small amount of seat belt pay-out thereby limiting the maximum force applied by the seal belt to the seat belt wearer.

Title: Locating image edges using a de-convolution process
Inventor: CHUI KUI MING
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: A de-convolution process is applied to an MR, CT or other image 25 of a scanned-object 23 to derive the point-spread function 22' at an object-edge and to pin-point from the mid-point of its full-width-half-maximum FWHM, the location 30 of the true image-edge. With the object-image 25' overlying the PSF function 22' in the de-convolution space, sub-pixels which follow location 30 are transferred to before it to re-construct the image-edge 25' for sharper conformity to the object-edge 23. Sharp definition of image-contour 37 facilitates accurate determination of area and volume of image profiles 35 and their segmentation. The accurate image-edge definition enables viable correction of geometrical distortion in stand-alone MR diagnosis and treatment planning.
