Inventor: YE SHIN-JU
IPC: G01V3/38
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for automatic detection of planar heterogeneities intersecting the stratification of an environment from images of a borehole wall or developed core samples of said environment, which consists in using an original image defined in a system of axes (X1, Y1, Z1) associated with the borehole whose axis is Z1, said image containing, for a zone, traversed by the bore hole planar heterogeneities consisting of stratification planes (2 to 14) and planar heterogeneities (15 to 23) intersecting the stratification planes. The invention is characterised in that it consists in: determining a dominant orientation of the stratification planes located in at least on part of said original image; filtering the original image to eliminate the planar heterogeneities of the stratification planes (2 to 14) located in the dominant direction; determining on said filtered image at least two contour segments (15' to 23') of the heterogeneities intersecting the stratification planar heterogeneities.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of finishing machining rotary parts which are at least partially subjected to a hardening process until they are in a condition of being ready for use. The rotary parts may be crankshafts, or bearing surfaces of crankshafts, in particular automobile crankshafts. The object of the invention is to simplify the removal of material when machining bearing locations of a crankshaft which is to be hardened. After the original shaping operation, removal of material is effected at most by cutting machining with a given cutting edge.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the inspection of a substrate provides consistent
detection of defects such as cracks, differentiates between different types of
defects, and, does not excessively heat the substrate. An infrared radiating source
produces infrared energy which illuminates the substrate in a uniform manner at an
incident angle. An infrared camera collects a portion of the infrared light which is
reflected from the substrate. An image is created from the collected light which
includes indicia of the defect. The image is examined as the incident angle is
varied for changes in the appearance of the indicia.

Title: Integrated-optical sensor
Inventor: KUNZ RINO E
IPC: G01N21/77
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: The integrated-optical chemical and/or biochemical sensor comprises a resonant
waveguide structure (1). A chemical and/or biochemical substance (2) to be sensed
can be deposited on a surface of the waveguide structure (1). Incident light (31) is
coupled into the waveguide structure (1) by a grating structure (G), making use of a
first set of degrees of freedom. The incoupled light (32) interacts with the substance
(2), which emits fluorescent light (42). Fluorescent light (42) is coupled out by the
same grating structure (G), making use of a second set of degrees of freedom which
differs from the first set of degrees of freedom in at least one degree of freedom. For
example, the incident light (31) is coupled in using a first diffraction order m g,ex  = 1,
and the emitted (42) light is coupled out using a second, different diffraction order
m g,em  = 2. By this measure, the emitted outcoupled light (43) is clearly separated
from exciting light (33) which is reflected and/or coupled out using the first
diffraction order m g,ex  = 1. Such a clear separation increases the signal-to-noise ratio
of the sensor signal.

Abstract: A feed apparatus which combines a slider crank feed head (300) drive
system (310) and cam (348) actuated stack height sensing system (352) to form a new combined
shuttle feeder. The new feed head drive includes the replacement of a solenoid
drive with a more reliable stepper driven twin slider crank drive.
Included in the slider crank drive for the feed head (300) is an integral cam (348) as part of
the crank arm mounted to the motor shaft (310). This cam (348) drives a stack
height sensor to drop and lift the stack height sensing arm (352) to sense stack (53)
height after the sheet trail edge has passed the point of arm contact with the
stack (53). The cam (348) also provides a "service mode" position for the stack height
arm (352) which lifts it out of the way of the paper supply when it is opening. The
cam (348) dwells in a neutral home position during the rest of the drive out and
return motion of the feed head (300).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for providing a first
computer program module ( 122 ) with the ability to access a service from a second
computer program module ( 112 ). The method includes receiving the first computer
program module ( 12 ) for example, at a third party computer system ( 140 ), and
determining whether the first computer program module has been digitally signed by an
authority ( 204 ) having power to confer access for the service. If so, the method
provides the first computer program module ( 122 ) with access to the service. A
variation on this embodiment includes verifying that the first computer program module
( 122 ) includes a chain of certificates establishing a chain of authorisation for the
service. This verification process includes verifying that a first certificate in the chain is
signed by an entity ( 400 ) that is originally authorised to confer access for the service,
and verifying that subsequent certificates in the chain are signed by entities ( 430,450 )
that have been delegated authorisation to confer access for the service. In a further
variation on the above embodiment, the act of providing the first computer program
module with access to the service, includes providing the first computer program
module ( 122 ) with a permit that allows the first computer program module ( 122 ) to
perform a restricted set of operations on the service.
