Abstract: A method of preparing a cable end of a high voltage cable for joining with a cable terminal or another corresponding cable end concerns high voltage cables with an insulation material (13) whose outer side is provided with a semi-conducting layer (14). Stripping of this layer on a portion (16) of the cable length is followed by a application of a second semi-conducting layer (21), which overlaps the first semi-conducting layer (14) , and which has a well-defined termination (20) in a direction toward the cable end. This well-defined termination is produced by applying a thickening (18) of an insulating material with a well-defined termination and then applying the second semi-conducting layer (21) so that this extends up to said termination. A sleeve for such a high voltage cable comprises a thickening (18) of an insulation material and a semi-conducting layer (21) which extends between the first semi-conducting layer (14) and a well-defined termination (20) determined by the thickening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compensation and health monitoring techniques and devices for fiber optic intensity modulated sensors provide automatic adjustment of light intensity in order to maintain continuous calibration of the fiber optic sensors in the presence of undesirable environmental or handling conditions. These undesirable conditions may arise from such factors as fiber bending, optical connector mechanical and thermal instabilities, extreme temperatures at sensors, and changes in optical coupling between optical sources (e.g., light emitting diodes) and detectors (e.g., PIN photodiodes) and the optical fibers. Through light intensity normalization, the new techniques enable a continuous calibrated sensor output and sensor health monitoring by continuous or intermittent observation of the light emitting diode current.

Abstract: After a high-pressure container 1 is mounted to a charging jig 2, on-off valves 82 and 83 are closed, and on-off valves 81 and 84 are opened, so as to draw a vacuum in each of a charging path7, the charging jig 2 and the high-pressure container 1. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed, the on-off valve 83 is opened, for charging a hydrogen from a combustible gas source 43 into the high-pressure container 1 through a charging port 11. When a pressure within the container reaches a predetermined pressure, the on-off valve 81 and 83 are closed. In this manner, the hydrogen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except a flammable range. Then, the on-off valve 84 is opened to draw a vacuum only in the charging path 7. After drawing the vacuum, the on-off valve 84 is closed and the on-off valve 82 is opened to charge an oxygen from an oxdizer gas source 5 into the high-pressure container 1. In this manner, the oxygen is charged into the high-pressure container 1 in a range except the flammable range. If a pressure within the high-pressure container 1 reaches a predetermined pressure, a sealing member operating mechanism 3 is operated so that the charging port 11 of the high-pressure container 1 is sealed by a sealing member 12. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device to detect the location of a magnet coupled to an indwelling medical device within a patient uses three or more sets of magnetic sensors each having sensor elements arranged in a known fashion. Each sensor element senses the magnetic field strength generated by the magnet and provides data indicative of the direction of the magnet in a three-dimensional space. The device uses fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism that relate measured magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient to the location and strength of a magnetic dipole. The device uses an iterative process to determine the actual location and orientation of the magnet. An initial estimate of the location and orientation of the magnet results in the generation of predicted magnetic field values. The predicted magnetic field values are compared with the actual measured values provided by the magnetic sensors. Based on the difference between the predicted values and the measured values, the device estimates a new location of the magnet and calculates new predicted magnetic field strength values. The iteration process continues until the predicted values match the measured values within a desired degree of tolerance. At that point, the estimated location matches the actual location within a predetermined degree of tolerance. A two-dimensional display provides an indication of the location of the magnet with respect to the housing of the detector. A depth indicator portion of the display can be used to provide a relative or absolute indication of the depth of the magnet within the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a reaction time measurement system that includes a hard-wired or battery-powered accelerometer module attached to a starting block or platform to detect acceleration when a contestant moves. Although the block is grossly stationary, it undergoes slight movement and mechanical vibration, so the accelerometer produces an output signal. A filter or a processing unit in the module processes the output signal to define the reaction time or moment when the athlete starts to leave the block. Preferably the module removably attaches to the starting block by a rigid coupling, and its processor stores and annotates the accelerometer signal. A link or connector signals the reaction time, or the stored signal on request, to a central monitor at which false start detection determination are made and records created. The module may be used as an individual training device, in which a runner's readiness and take-off impulse are analysed as a reaction waveform, or his reaction time and starting speed recorded. For use in a track system, multiple separately addressed modules each annotate the accelerometer signal trace with one or more externally applied or synchronized timing marks.

Abstract: A fast data transfer collection system using message authentication and contactless RF proximity card technology in non-contact storage and retrieval applications. The system is generally comprised of Host computers (application computer systems), Target radio frequency (RF) terminals, and a plurality of portable Tags (“smart” or “proximity” cards). A Host provides specific application functionality to a Tag holder, with a high degree of protection from fraudulent use. A Target provides control of the RF antenna and resolves collisions between multiple Tags in the RF field. A Tag provides reliable, high speed, and well authenticated secure exchanges of data/information with the Host resulting from the use of a custom ASIC design incorporating unique analog and digital circuits, nonvolatile memory, and state logic. Each Tag engages in a transaction with the Target in which a sequence of message exchanges allow data to be read(written) from(to) the Tag. These exchanges establish the RF communication link, resolve communication collisions with other Tags, authenticate both parties in the transaction, rapidly and robustly relay information through the link, and ensure the integrity and incorruptibility of the transaction. The system architecture provides capabilities to ensure the integrity of the data transferred thus eliminating the major problem of corrupting data on the card and in the system. The architecture and protocol are designed to allow simple and efficient integration of the transaction product system into data/information processing installations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for localizing an area in relative movement and for determining the speed and direction thereof in real time is disclosed. Each pixel of an image is smoothed using its own time constant. A binary value corresponding to the existence of a significant variation in the amplitude of the smoothed pixel from the prior frame, and the amplitude of the variation, are determined, and the time constant for the pixel is updated. For each particular pixel, two matrices are formed that include a subset of the pixels spatially related to the particular pixel. The first matrix contains the binary values of the subset of pixels. The second matrix contains the amplitude of the variation of the subset of pixels. In the first matrix, it is determined whether the pixels along an oriented direction relative to the particular pixel have binary values representative of significant variation, and, for such pixels, it is determined in the second matrix whether the amplitude of these pixels varies in a known manner indicating movement in the oriented direction. In each of several domains, histogram of the values in the first and second matrices falling in such domain is formed. Using the histograms, it is determined whether there is an area having the characteristics of the particular domain. The domains include luminance, hue, saturation, speed (V), oriented direction (D1), time constant (CO), first axis (x(m)), and second axis (y(m)).
