Abstract: An apparatus for accumulating coke includes a coke drum having an upper head, a
lower section, and a generally cylindrical wall having a height parallel to its longitudinal axis
and extending between and joined to the upper head and the lower section. The wall includes
an upper ring and a lower ring, each of which has a height parallel to the longitudinal axis of
the wall which is in a range of zero percent to 25 percent of the height of the wall. The wall
also includes an intermediate ring which extends between and is joined to the upper ring, if
present, and the lower ring, if present. The intermediate ring has a length which is equal to a
cumulative length of the upper ring and the lower ring subtracted from the length of the wall.
The intermediate ring is free of joints which extend in a circumferential direction of the wall.

Abstract: A sealing structure of a ball bearing is disclosed wherein a seal or a
shield is provided on at least one side of the ball bearing, the ball bearing
being used under rotation of an outer ring. A large number of blade
projections are formed radially on an outer surface of the seal or shield
provided on one side of the ball bearing. The sealing structure may also be
constructed such that a seal or a shield is provided on at least one side of a
ball bearing, the ball bearing being used under rotation of an inner ring, a
large number of blade projections are formed radially on an outer surface of
the seal or shield provided on one side of the ball bearing, and an annular
plate is mounted on a shaft with the inner ring fitted thereon at a position
relatively close to the blade projections. Plural through holes may be
formed circumferentially on or near an inner peripheral edge of the annular
plate. With a simple structure, it is possible to effectively prevent fluid
from flowing or leaking through the ball bearing and also prevent leakage of
grease sealed in the ball bearing itself. Thus, the ball bearing sealing
structure is improved in sealing performance.

Title: Automatic transaction machine
Inventor: FUJIOKA TOSHINORI
IPC: G06Q40/02
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: The present invention prevents counterfeit tests using
automatic transaction machines. When a user cancels a transaction
associated with a deposit at an automatic transaction machine,
information on the account for which the transaction is intended is
sent to a host computer. When the deposited bills is rejected at a
high rate, the account information is sent to the host computer.
Because these acts often occur during counterfeit tests, the host
computer stores the account in a monitoring database, and
monitors the cancellation frequency, rate of rejection, and the like.
Accounts which are determined to have a high possibility of being
used for counterfeit tests based on results such as cancellation
frequency are handled as accounts requiring special attention.
When a transaction takes place for an account requiring special
attention, measures that can be taken including stopping the
transaction or transmitting a warning. In this way, counterfeit
tests can be monitored and prevented.

Abstract: In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for
analyzing an image to screen for target candidates
wherein an edge-follower detects straight segments within
a plurality of longer edges and detects also from the
longer edges, contours that go around areas that are the
right size. The invention also contemplates starting the
edge-follower from seeds on the image and terminating the
edge-following process if the edge meanders too much to
ever become an acceptable contour. In accordance with
another embodiment, the straight segments can be further
screened by measuring the gradient direction and then
noting the deviation from the mean of those direction
values. The highly straight edges thus found, in
confluence with each other, or near a correct size
contour define likely candidates.
