Patent EP-0330976-A3 (EP)
Title: Process for making a cover-ready flooring plaster from a flowing plaster
IPC: E04F15/12
Filed: 1989-02-21
Abstract: In a process, in which a flowing plaster mass of  alpha -calcium sulphate hemihydrate is the sole binder, of inert aggregate material, plasticiser, retarder and water is mixed, cast and, after setting, allowed to dry until cover-ready, it is desirable to produce a plaster which is cover-ready at an early stage from a flowing plaster mass in an economical manner. This is achieved by mixing, separately from the mixing with water, a dry mortar with at most 50% by weight of  alpha - calcium sulphate hemihydrate which has been obtained from the gypsum arising in flue gas desulphurisation, in the continuous autoclave process, and limestone free of a fines fraction below 40 mu m as aggregate material, and by subjecting the set flowing plaster mass to drying by means of an apparatus. The composition of this flowing plaster mass renders the production of a flooring from  alpha -calcium sulphate hemihydrate economically feasible, the drying-out being accelerated by the drying measure, so that the cover-ready state is reached earlier than hitherto and disadvantageous building delays are avoided.
Patent EP-0367952-A3 (EP)
Title: System for detecting and analyzing rounded objects
IPC: G06T7/60
Filed: 1989-09-18
Abstract: A system is described which determines the characteristics 
of a substantially rounded feature, such as via hole in 
a printed circuit board. The system includes an image 
scanner for providing a serial flow of a raster scan 
image of pixels which represent the rounded feature. 
Tangent detecting circuits are further provided which 
select groups (i.e., neighborhoods) of pixels from the 
scan image, each group including pixels clustered about 
a plurality of chosen azimuths and adjacent to a 
tangent to a boundary of the rounded feature. Processing 
circuits are further provided to trim each selected 
group of pixels to eliminate pixels not lying on the 
tangent line. The pixels which remain after the trim 
operation are representative of the limits (e.g., 
diameter, radius, etc.) of the rounded feature and 
enable an analyzing circuit to determine the characteris­
tics of the rounded feature by examining the relationships 
between the tangent line pixels.  
     A second system is described which reduces the apparatus 
required for trimming the selected pixel groups. A 
tangent segment is fed into a plurality of parallel 
networks which initially identify right and left 
shoulders of the tangent segment. The identified 
shoulders are expanded and used as a mask on the 
original tangent segment to disconnect a central 
plateau thereof from its next lower and non-central 
plateaus. Subsequent trimming enables the central 
plateau to be identified.

Filed: 1989-10-27
Abstract: Der beschriebene Brechkern (1′) weist zusätzlich zu 
seiner zentralen Durchflußöffnung (2′) eine Anzahl weiterer klei­
ner Öffnungen (3′) auf, welche um die Durchflußöffnung (2′) herum 
angeordnet sind und keine Speisefunktion haben.  
     Diese weiteren kleinen Öffnungen (3′) verhindern das 
schädliche Durchbiegen des Brechkerns, indem das während des Gie­
ßens zunächst in dem Steigeraufsatz hochsteigende Material sich 
in den kleinen Öffnungen sehr rasch verfestigt und dadurch metal­
lische Stege bildet, welche die Festigkeit des Brechkerns so 
stark erhöhen, daß er den während des anschließenden Speisevor­
ganges auftretenden Kräften ohne oder jedenfalls ohne nennenswer­
te Verformung widerstehen kann.  
     Die weiteren kleinen Öffnungen können zylindrisch oder 
leicht konisch sein. Vorzugsweise sind ihre Mündungsbereiche auf 
einer oder auf beiden Seiten des Brechkerns durch nutartige Ring­
kanäle (4 bzw. 5) miteinander verbunden. Dadurch wird die stabi­
lisierende Wirkung der sich in den Öffnungen (3′) ausbildenden 
metallischen Stege zusätzlich verbessert.

Abstract: A divider for producing a quotient by dividing a dividend by 
a divisor has an A register (1) for holding dividend data, and a B 
register (2) for holding divisor data. An adder/subtracter or 
arithmetic unit (3) produces either one of a sum and a difference 
between the dividend data and the divisor data held in the A register 
(1) and the B register (2), respectively. A D flip-flop (4) holds 
sign bit data which is included in result data representative of a 
result of operation as produced by the adder/subtracter (3). An 
inverting gate (5) inverts the sign bit data. A shift register (6) 
sequentially shifts, every time the inverted sign bit data is inputted, 
the inverted sign bit data from the least significant bit (LSB) position 
while holding the inverted sign bit data. A shifter (7) arithmetically 
shifts the result data produced by the adder/subtracter (3) one bit 
to the left while storing a (logical) ZERO in the LSB position, and 
feeds the resultant data to the A register (1). A loop counter (8) 
controls the adder/subtracter (3), shift register (6) and shifter 
(7) such that iterative processing for division is repetitively 
executed.
