Abstract: A draw pin assembly includes a hammer strap that mounts on the drawbar and a draw pin that extends through aligned draw pin holes in the hammer strap and drawbar. A latch mechanism supports the draw pin in a retracted position while a trigger in the hitch-receiving space of the assembly releases the latch when a towed implement hitch comes into the proper alignment with the draw pin. An automatic locking mechanism is used to lock the draw pin against inadvertent release. In one embodiment, the draw pin is fully recessed into the hammer strap when set and the latch and locking functions are provided by a loop type handle connected to the draw pin. This eliminates any elements projecting above the hammer strap to maximize the clearance for a tractor power takeoff.

Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: A digital monitor/analyzer for an ac electrical power system samples the current and voltage waveforms at a slow rate for performing metering functions, and at a high rate for analyzing harmonic content. Sampling is performed in sampling frames comprising a plurality of repetitions of sampling for a selected number of cycles followed by a delay of a fraction of a cycle. This effects equivalent sampling at a higher rate for slow speed sampling over a frame. High speed sampling is performed over only onerepetition of the selected number of cycles in a frame so that it can be carried out sychronously as required for the harmonic analysis. The high speed sampling rate is an integer multiple of the slow speed rate so that slow speed data can be extracted from the high speed samples for continuous metering. Fourier analysis of the harmonic content of the waveforms is performed on the odd interrupts while all of the other tasks are apportioned out over the even interrupts of a sampling frame. Both the odd and even interrupts initiate sampling.

Abstract: In a process for the cleaning of dust laden, preferably hot gas with the aid of ceramic filter candles which are open at one end stacked above one another in levels in a raw gas space, and connected to a clean gas space, these filter candles are cleaned by way of pulsed gas, which is blown into the filter candles for a short period of time from the side of the clean gas space and against the direction of raw gas flow.      In the raw gas space the gas to be cleaned and the dust loosened by the cleaning are guided separately so that the loosened dust is guided to the dust removal structure of the raw gas space without once again mixing with the gas to be cleaned. The process is advantageously carried out in a filter housing wherein the filter candles are connected to laterally spaced apart supporting collectors. The filter candles in one level are separated from the filter candles in the level thereabove by an ash removal mantle.

Title: Digital image decoding apparatus
Inventor: OHIRA HIDEO
IPC: H04N19/503
Filed: 1996-09-17
Granted: 2000-09-12
Abstract: Data decoded by a decoding section (101) are compressed by a compressing section (102) and then stored in a forecast/display frame memory section (103).  The data in the forecast/display frame memory section (103) which are required to decode the other frames in the decoding section (101) are expanded and supplied to the decoding section through an expanding A section (104).  The decoding section (101) uses the data restored by the expanding operation to decode the image data subjected to the forecast encoding operation.  On the other hand, the display frame is subjected to the expanding operation at an expanding B section (105) after it has been read out from the forecast/display frame memory section (103), the expanded display frame then being output and supplied to a display device.  Thus, the data stored in the forecast/display frame memory section (103) can be compressed to reduce the size of memory capacity.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une structure conductrice utilisée pour l'emballage d'aliments à préparer au micro-ondes, permet de réchauffer les aliments au micro-ondes en toute sécurité et de manière uniforme. Ladite structure comprend une couche conductrice déposée sur un substrat non conducteur. Le fait que des lames fusibles et des sections de base conductrices soient intégrées dans la couche conductrice de la structure permet de canaliser les courants induits par micro-ondes à travers les lames fusibles, ce qui permet de réguler le chauffage. Lorsqu'ils sont surexposés à l'énergie des micro-ondes, les fusibles sautent plus promptement que les sections de base conductrices, de sorte que l'énergie des micro-ondes est absorbée en plus faible quantité dans la zone où les fusibles sautent que dans les zones où ils ne sautent pas. La disposition et les dimensions des lames fusibles compensent les variations de contrainte caractéristiques du substrat, assurant ainsi une qualité de rendement uniforme des fusibles. En outre, en faisant varier les dimensions des lames fusibles et des sections de base, on peut concevoire et fabriquer différentes structures conductrices de micro-ondes à fusibles présentant une vaste gamme de caractéristiques de chauffage. Ainsi, une structure conductrice de micro-ondes à fusibles permet d'adapter les températures de cuisson aux types d'aliments.

Abstract: A novel fault framework method and apparatus automatically computes therelationships between intersecting fault surfaces. When faults are loaded into the novel fault framework apparatus, all intersecting fault pairs are determined and the fault fault intersection lines are computed and stored. The intersecting fault pairs are presented and available for automatic calculation of the major/minor and above/below fault pair relationships. The geometry of both intersecting fault surfaces are examined on either side of the fault fault intersection line. This, in combination with the relative size of the faults, is analyzed to compute the major/minor and above/below relationships based on geologic assumptions and knowledge of the origin of the fault surface data. When the relationships between intersecting faults are defined, the minor fault is appropriately truncated.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'ordonnancement des flux dans une configuration multiprocesseur par mise en oeuvre d'une file d'attente locale non verrouillée pour chacun des processeurs de la configuration multiprocesseur, et d'une file d'attente globale et verrouillable de mise en exécution accessible depuis tous les processeurs. Les flux ne sont sélectionnés pour transfert depuis la file d'attente locale non verrouillée vers la file d'attente globale de mise en exécution, que lorsque la file d'attente locale non verrouillée contient trop de flux en attente d'un processeur. Les flux ne sont sélectionnés pour exécution sur un processeur disponible qu'après des vérifications répétées permettant de s'assurer que des flux se trouvant dans la file d'attente locale non verrouillée du processeur doivent passer d'abord. De ce fait, les flux affectés à un processeur ont tendance à être réservés à ce processeur, sauf si la charge du système est fortement déséquilibrée. Cela a pour effet d'améliorer le rendement du système en accroissant les concordances en antémémoire et à diminuer les annonces de verrouillage.

Abstract: A novel means and apparatus for a new kind of photography and videography is described. In particular, a wearable camera with viewfinder means is introduced. The system, in effect, absorbs and quantifies rays of light that are processed on a small wearable computer system and re-constituted to emerge to reconstruct the virtual image of objects at nearly the same position in space, or at a coordinate transformed position, as viewed by the wearer of the apparatus. The wearer of the apparatus becomes, after adaptation, an entity that seeks, without conscious thought or effort, an optimal point of vantage and camera orientation. Because of the wearer's ability to constantly see the world through the invention, which may also function as an image enhancement device, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the wearer's mind and body, giving rise to a new genre of documentary video.
