Abstract: In a profile to join a coat of plaster, applied to a wall soffit, to frames, such as door or window frames, having an approximately U- shaped hollow profile, the height of which is chosen to correspond to the thickness of the coat of plaster and the width of which is chosen to correspond to the joint between the coat of plaster and frame, the outer leg (4) opposite the frame (20) is inclined at an obtuse angle of about 100 DEG  to the fastening flange (3, 13). As a result of the outwardly inclined outer leg, the profile bears resiliently and thus positively and non-positively against an adjoining frame. The sealing action between the profile and the frame is thus improved to such an extent that stresses and strains between the profile and the frame are compensated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for improving the seal integrity and useful life of tubing and casing strings fills the volume between the nose ends of facing tubing sections and the collar (12) to which they are mutually joined with a temperature and corrosion resistant element having a smooth interior surface substantially flush with the inner diameter of the tubing or casing (14). During makeup of each successive section of the drill string, a center fill tool (22) including an expansible tubular (23) element is seated below the coupling area to be self-retained, by the use of pressure expansion of a cylindrical surface. A precise amount (74) of a curable material is inserted into the volume bounded by the nose ends and the collars (the so-called "J area") and while the material is still flowable the coupling is made up by threading in of the next tubular element. When sufficient setting has taken place, which occurs quickly, a retrieving tool (28) is lowered to grip the upper end of the insert which is configured internally to vent the pressurizing gas as upward force is exerted. Thus the center fill tool can be moved out of position and the string lowered into the well bore, the tool then being ready for makeup of the next succeeding coupling.

Abstract: A computer system (20) comprises a plurality of independent processors (24,26) which can either execute a separate process for each processor, or execute parallel process operations across multiple processors for one process. The computer system includes a set of communication registers (46) divided into a group of frames and a set of semaphores (48) which correspond respectively to the registers. Typical processes have both serial and parallel code segments. During serial execution, a process is executed by a single processor, but when a parallelization instruction is encountered, which indicates that code can be executed in parallel, a semaphore is posted to invite other processors to join in parallel execution of the process. If any other processors in the system are idle, those processors detect the semaphore and accept a thread of process operation. Two or more processors may join in parallel operation if sufficient operations are available. However, if all processors are busy, then the processor conducting the serial operation will also execute all of the parallel operations. Thus, the processors are self-­allocated, rather than being used on a demand or master-­servant basis. This permits a greater throughput for the system because processors are not held idle when there is available process work to be done.

Abstract: A signal compression system is shown for processing a stream of fixed length digital sample signals, such as audio signals, which system includes a linear digital compression filter for compression filtering the sample signal stream and generating a stream of compression-filtered signals. The compression-filtered stream is encoded by an encoder which implements a variable word length truncated code. The encoder output is supplied to a buffer for transmission to a communication channel. The encoder is controllably operable in a normal mode and in an out of range (OOR) mode. In the OOR operating mode an OOR code word together with the compression filtered signal is sent to the buffer. Buffer underflow is controlled by operation in the OOR mode when the buffer is empty or near empty. Buffer overflow is controlled by truncating sample signals supplied to the compression filter in response to a measure of buffer fullness when the fullness of the buffer exceeds a predetermined level. The level of truncation increases as buffer fullness increases. With a decrease in buffer fullness, a measure of the rate of change of buffer fullness may be used to accelerate the decrease in truncation for improved audio signal quality. Additionally, a measure of variance of the compression-filtered signal stream may be used in conjunction with control based upon a measure of buffer fullness in the control of truncation for improved audio signal quality.

Abstract: In such a position measuring device for measuring the relative position of two objects, the graduation (T) of a scale (TT), connected to one of the objects, is scanned by a scanning device (A) connected to the other object. The scanning device (A) exhibits an illumination unit (B) to generate two periodic scanning signals (S1, S2), which are passed in the one case to an evaluation device (W) to form measurement values for the relative position of the two objects and in the other case to an error warning device (F) to generate an error signal (FS) in the case of erroneous signal parameters of the periodic scanning signals (S1, S2). In order to check the amplitude magnitudes of the two periodic scanning signals (S1, S2), the normal supply voltage (V) for the scanning device (A) is dropped to a reduced supply voltage (Va) for a specified test time (T), so that the brightness level of the illumination unit (B) is reduced and thereby the amplitude magnitudes of the two periodic scanning signals (S1, S2) are reduced. If the error warning device (F) emits an error signal (FS) during this test time (T), then this is considered to be an advance warning that the brightness of the illumination unit (B) will soon no longer be adequate for a perfect measurement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A photoacoustic signal detecting device irradiates a modulated light on a sample (170) using focusing means (300, 400), detects a photoacoustic signal created in the sample using light interference detection means (310, 410) and finally displays the information relative to the surface and inside of the sample. The focusing means (300, 400) and light interference detection means (310, 410) are constructed in a confocal optical system, respectively, and a pin-­hole(s) is used to remove unnecessary high order dif­fraction light components around the light spot of the modulated light so that the photoacoustic signal can be detected with a high accuracy. Further, an auto-­focusing function (330, 430) is added to the photoacoustic signal detection so that the photoacoustic signal can be detected with a high accuracy also for a sample with rugged surface.

Abstract: In a satellite communications system, a time slot assignment signal and a reference timing signal are transmitted from a central station to terminal stations to allow them to send bursts on assigned time slots and to establish the frame timing. In the central station, first and second self-resettable counters (8,17) increment their respective binary counts at clock intervals and reset their counts to an initial value at time-slot intervals. A local timing signal is generated synchronously with the reference timing signal and delayed by an amount corresponding to a minimum round-trip propagation delay to reset the first counter (8). In an initial, wide aperture mode, the output of the first counter (8) is used to generate control signals for recovering a carrier and clock and widely opening an aperture gate (15) for detecting unique words of a burst that is affected by satellite drift. If a unique word is detected, the central station switches to a narrow aperture mode in which the output of the second counter (17) is used instead to generate control signals for recovering the carrier and clock and narrowly opening the gate (15) to reduce the possibility of detecting false unique words. In a preferred embodiment, the output of the second counter (17) is stored in a memory in response to the detection of a unique word and an average value of the stored counts is derived to optimize the reset timing of the second counter (17).
