IPC: H03M13/39
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding a frame of multi-rate encoded digital data which contains redundant information provided to validate the decoding operation. A frame of data is received which contains information bits and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits. In accordance with the invention, the received frame is decoded and a check is conducted to determine whether the CRC bits correspond correctly for the decoded information bits. If the decoded frame passes the CRC test process, the decoded fame is provided to the user. However, if the decoded frame does not pass the CRC test, then at least one additional decoding process is performed on the received frame. In the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, on a failure of the CRC check, the data is decoded using a trellis decoder and the data that yields the next most likely path through the trellis is selected. In a second illustrative embodiment, if the CRC test fails, the trellis decoder then identifies all paths having metrics within a predetermined threshold of a metric associated with the optimal path through the trellis. The CRC test is then performed on the decoded frame with respect to the suboptimal paths (starting with the most likely path). If any of these paths pass the CRC check, the information bits are output by the decoder. If not, an error is declared.

A coupling for dragged slaving (28, 29) is provided between the two driver rings (6, 13). Handle-side driver ring (6) carries stops (11) on its front facing away from these slopes, which interact with counterstops (12), integral with the housing, when they reach the snap position of the locking mechanism. Two annular links (14, 15) placed concentrically to the slopes of driver rings (6,13), each of which is operative for one direction of rotation each and which exhibit on their front sawteeth inclined in the opposite direction to one another running in the peripheral direction and which interact respectively with a corresponding counterprofile on handle-side driver ring (6) or in housing (2) (FIG. 1).

Title: Inspecting ophthalmic lenses; method and apparatus involving illumination of lens in a container transported on a conveyor
Inventor: EDWARDS RUSSELL J
IPC: G01M11/02
Filed: 1993-12-10
Abstract: A lens inspection method and apparatus is disclosed comprising a pallet having wells for receiving one or more lens containers at the receiving point. A conveyor achieves uniformity of pallet motion needed in the direction of pallet travel and stability when transporting the lens in the orthogonal, non-translating directions by use of one or more guide rails and a mechanical bias means. Pallet wells for receiving the containers comprise holes that pass through the pallet. These holes along with a side driven transport system make possible an arrangement of a lamp and camera on opposite sides of the lens for capturing an image of a lens. A computer implemented algorithm processes the digitized image according to rules set forth in a program to determine the acceptability of the lenses. A lens disposition mechanism connected to the computer uses a signal generated by the computer and indicates lens acceptability to disposition the lens by physically separating a container with an acceptable lens from an unacceptable lens. After disposition of containers, the pallet is returned by conveyor to the lens receiving point.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for the treatment of hides and skins is described (3).  The hide is placed on a support (1,2) and sealed to the support around the edges.  A treatment liquor is then supplied under pressure between the hide and support to distend and stretch the hide thus permitting rapid penetration of the treatment liquor.
