Abstract: The invention relates to a flowmeter according to the principle of medium oscillation, having a housing which is penetrated by the medium to be measured, a device for generating the medium oscillation, and a sensor for detecting the medium oscillation. In order to ensure a highly precise flow measurement in conjunction with a simple design, it is proposed according to the invention that the detector comprises a beam which penetrates the wall of the housing and is clamped thereon in such a way that an excitation of oscillations in its end projecting into the medium is transmitted to its end situated outside the housing, that the mass of the beam is distributed in such a way that no torque relative to translatory movement occurs at the site where it is clamped, and that a sensor is provided for detecting the oscillations executed by the end of the beam arranged outside the medium. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image testing device captures an image of a test object using a TV camera and raster-scans the image to search the teat object for a scratch or spot. The device protects its test precision from being deteriorated by lowered brightness of an illuminator and properly maintains the illuminator by outputting an alarm on detecting a lowering of the illuminator. To realize the capabilities of the image testing device, it comprises a brightness measure circuit, a general determination circuit, etc. The brightness measure circuit receives a multivalued gray image signal or image data from the frame memory through a switching unit, obtains an average value of picture elements in a brightness measure area in a test object image, and outputs it as a measured brightness signal. The general determination circuit corrects, in proportion to a measured brightness a binarization threshold for use in detecting a picture element indicating a defect. When the measured brightness is smaller than its threshold more frequently than a predetermined times, the general determination circuit outputs an abnormal brightness occurrence signal.

Abstract: A radio display pager includes an antenna (4) and front end (5) and receives a series of frames from a paging station (1) synchronized to the seconds of the local standard time. Each frame contains a frame synchronizing signal and a frame position signal indicating the position of the frame within the series, each of the frames being synchronized with a local standard time of the paging station. A frame counter (9) increments a count value in synchronism with the reception of each frame synchronizing signal detected by a frame sync. detector (6) and produces an output when the count value reaches a predetermined value. The frame counter is reset to an initial value in response to the reception of a predetermined frame position signal which occurs at 1-minute intervals, as detected by a frame identifier decoder (7). A time-keeping circuit (15) counts locally generated clock pulses from a clock source (18) to display the time of day on a display unit (19). The time-keeping circuit is responsive to the output of the frame counter for calibrating the time of day to the local standard time.

Abstract: A method and system implements a dynamic error diffusion process. A grey level value representing a pixel is received. An image segmentation circuit (15) determines an image characteristic of the pixel being processed. A threshold circuit (10; Fig.3) thresholds the grey level value (pixel) and generates an error value as a result of the threshold process. A portion of the error value is diffused by error diffusion circuit(5)to adjacent pixels on a next scanline. The distribution of this error value is dynamic in that different sets of weighting coefficients, stored in memory(4), are used based the image characteristic of the processed pixel. One set of coefficients are utilized in processing a pixel having a first image characteristic, and a second set of coefficients are utilized in processing a pixel having a second image characteristic.
