Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing compressed air include sealing air in a container (10) capable of reducing its volume upon application of an external hydraulic pressure, attaching a weight (40) having a larger specific gravity than water to the container (10) and sinking the container (10) deep under water. The air which is compressed in the container as its volume is reduced is collected in a recovery vessel (30) connected to the container (10) via a non-return valve. The weight (40) is subsequently released from the container (10) to allow the container (10) to float to the surface of the water by the action of buoyancy to allow the compressed air to be recovered from the recovery vessel (30). The compressed gas may then be used to provide the motive power to drive a water pump to return water that has been used for hydroelectric power generation from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir.

Abstract: An image is formed by forming a polymerized part and an un-polymerized part in a polymerization layer (4) disposed between a support (5) and a release film (3) of an image forming medium, and then peeling the release film to leave an image on the support. In order to prevent the deterioration or lack of the image, an image pattern corresponding to the image and comprising unidirectionally elongated pixels (20) is formed so that the pixels are composed of either the polymerized part or the un-polymerized part. Then, the release film is peeled off in the direction (A) of the elongation of the pixels. In order to promote the peeling initiation, a peeling promotion end-forming layer comprising a material capable of decreasing its adhesiveness on heating may be further disposed adjacent to the polymerization layer and sandwiched between the support and the release film so as to extend along one end of the release film.

Patent EP-0521017-A1 (EP)
Title: Arc diverter.
Inventor: ANDERSON GLEN L
IPC: C23C14/34
Filed: 1991-03-21
Abstract: An arc diverter detects an arc between the cathode and the anode of a glow discharge apparatus and in response to arc detection, actuates a switching network that triggers a pair of switches to allow a capacitor to discharge toward the cathode along a resonant diverting path and recharge the capacitor for subsequent discharge in an opposite direction. This discharge current effectively short circuits the power supply and extinguishes the arc. The resonant diverting circuit includes two resonant diverting paths and four switches configured in an "H" to hold the capacitor in a charged condition. Alternate triggering of the diagonally situated pairs of switches enables the charged capacitor to discharge in one direction along one of the resonant diverting paths and recharge for subsequent discharge in the opposite direction, along the other of the resonant paths. Both resonant diverting paths provide discharge toward the cathode.

Abstract: An optically detectable fiducial marker that utilizes a predetermined multi-bit binary coded pattern to provide levels of detectability and spatial resolution not found in conventional fiducials. The fiducial marker has a capture range equal to the length of a predetermined multi-bit binary coda utilized to form the fiducial, such that the capture range increases as the length of the code increases. To attain optimum performance, the fiducial marker utilizes a binary code exhibiting good aperiodic correlation properties. Optical encoding of the fiducial marker in accordance with a predetermined multi-bit binary coded pattern enables an optical scanner that is responsive to the optically encoded bit-pattern to locate a reference point with a high degree of certainty and with a spatial resolution that is a fraction of a spatial subtense of a single bit in the bit-pattern.
