Abstract: The present invention is to provide a sliding member
and a process for producing the same, which produce a high-quality
soft metal layer uniformly coated on a sliding
surface by a process alternative to electroplating or ion
plating. The metal layer has been formed by ultra-fine
metal (silver) particles dissolved in a solvent, which is
coated on a sliding surface of the sliding member and dried
and fired such that ultra-fine metal particles are melt and
bonded to one another. The average particle diameter of the
ultra-fine metal (silver) particles is 1 to 20 nm, and in
particular 1 to 10 nm. The whole metal coating process can
be carried out in the air at room temperature to about 200-300°C.

IPC: G01N33/20

Abstract: In many areas of technology where steel is used it is important to know how much hydrogen is in the steel. In the complete Specification of our British Patent No: 2,312,279 (P1448) there is described and claimed a hydrogen detection system including a collection enclosure to be placed against the steel surface to be tested and for gathering into a carrier gas passed therethrough hydrogen emanating from that surface. The system is satisfactory for use in connection with flat surfaces, but less so for surfaces that are not flat. The present invention seeks to deal with the conformity problem by making the collector (12) a flexible plate (21) on the receptor face of which are constructed raised grooves or high spots, which may be presented approximately parallel to an approximately flat surface or approximately tangential to a curved surface, and which form guiding channels (201) along which hydrogen emanating from the surface (11) underlying the plate can be drawn and sent to an associated detector system (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A friction device includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the device in response to wear on a friction surface within the device. The adjustment mechanism includes a first cam ring and a second cam ring adjacent the first cam ring. In one embodiment, the first cam ring is adapted for axial, but non-rotational movement with respect to a cover of the friction device, the cover being secured to a driving member for transmitting torque. The second cam ring is adapted for rotational movement with respect to the cover and the first cam ring. The first cam ring has a plurality of annular ramped surfaces on an axial face of the first cam ring. The second cam ring has a plurality of annular ramped surfaces on an axial face opposing the axial face of the first cam ring. The second cam ring is rotated with respect to the first cam ring such that the ramped surfaces cam against each other to increase the axial displacement of the first cam ring and the second cam ring, whereby the axial displacement is adapted to compensate for wear on a friction surface of a member of the friction device.

Abstract: A video transmission system (100, 200) comprising a
discrete cosine transform function (104, 208) receiving
an unwatermarked video signal transmission and means for
applying a watermark coefficient to the video signal
transmission output from the discrete cosine transform
function to protect the integrity of the video signal. 
     A video communication unit, a tamper detection method and
methods for watermarking and recovering watermarks are
also provided. 
     Such concepts provide for watermarking of SNR enhancement
layers for scalable compressed video and allow only the
user with the correct key to recover the watermark,
thereby stopping any possibility of a collusion attack on
the sequence to remove the watermark or discover its
contents. Hence, it is useful in tamper detection
applications such as authentication or copyright.
Furthermore, it provides a means of fragile watermarking
that allow attacks to be characterised.

Abstract: This present invention illustrates that alternating bright and dark pixels wherein the periods of bright and dark are varied by changing the consecutive number of pixels that are bright and dark. Accordingly, the present invention provides a technique and architectural design to achieve efficient testing of the multiple parallel output column circuits integrated with an X-Y addressable image sensor by using on-chip signals. This invention is particularly useful in testing high-speed output column CDS circuits for a high frame rate image sensor fabricated using a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensor (APS) technology incorporating a pinned photo-diode. The technique allow testing of the frequency response of the output column circuits by observing of the output signals either in analog form or digital bits if an on-chip ADC is used without applying any external input signals.

Abstract: A unique protection circuit for a sealed compressor incorporates oil structure
which directs a heated oil onto a motor protection circuit. The motor protection
circuit is of the type which shuts down operation of an electric motor when a
predetermined temperature is sensed. The motor protection circuit is positioned
adjacent to an oil return path which is opened when a high temperature is
experienced in the compressor pump unit. The valve in the path opens to allow flow
of the returned oil onto the motor protection switch. The motor protection switch is
then actuated to stop further operation of the motor. In another embodiment, the
motor protection switch is immersed in the oil sump. Again, when the oil
temperature increases to a predetermined amount, the motor protection switch stops
further operation of the motor.
