Patent EP-1625379-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SFEIR GEORGE M
IPC: G01N/
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: A method for inspection of tubular goods includes using ultrasonic detection means to obtain wall thickness measurement of discrete sections of a tubular good and recording each measurement in association with both the longitudinal and circumferential position at which each measurement was obtained. Accordingly each measurement of wall thickness represents a small portion of the wall thickness of said tubular in three dimensional space. A plurality of said measurements may thereby be displayed by computer means in virtual three dimensional format. Differing wall thickness readings made be represented by different shading or color display, so that anomalies of interest may be readily detected. Alternatively the recorded information may be readily processed by computer means to calculate the effect of stressors on the wall of said tubular good.

IPC: H04N7/36

Abstract: The optical flow in an image is estimated using only parameters extracted directly from a compressed video data stream, substantially eliminating the need to decode the video data stream for this purpose. Coefficients extracted from the compressed video data stream are used to establish a confidence map (4) indicative of the edge strength within the image data and hence the accuracy of the associated motion field. A smooth motion field is generated from the motion vectors (6) inherent in the compressed video data stream. The motion field is then used to update the confidence map (7) between frames, providing an estimate of the optical flow.

Abstract: When a variable value indicates that a steering
characteristic is understeer, a control unit (8) controls a
variable transmission ratio device (7) to change a second
steering angle such that the greater the understeer
indicated by the variable value, the smaller the steering
angle of steered wheels (6) relative to the turning angle of a
steering wheel (2) becomes. When the differentiated value of
the variable value indicates that the understeer is changing
to increase, a correction unit corrects the variable value
such that the greater the degree of change of the understeer
indicated by the differentiated value, the greater the
understeer indicated by the variable value becomes. Hence,
the attitude of a vehicle in understeer is stabilized with a
simple configuration.

Abstract: Methods and systems for ensuring system security are disclosed. One method and
system split a regular expression that corresponds to a number of patterns into sub-expressions (500).
The dependency relationships among the finite automata that correspond to the
sub-expressions are maintained (502). Then, as data units are put through these finite automata in a
sequence that is based on the dependency relationships, suspected data units are identified (106).
The suspected data units are the ones containing content that collectively matches one or
more of the aforementioned patterns. Identification of the suspected data units is based on
the merged results of the finite automata (504). Depending on the result of identifying the
suspected data units, different actions are performed (108). Another method and system formulate
a finite automaton that corresponds to a number of patterns. Then, as data units are put
through the finite automaton, suspected data units are identified (106). The suspected data units are
the ones containing content that collectively matches one or more of the aforementioned
patterns. To identify the suspected data units, the dependency relationships among various
states in the finite automaton that have been compressed are relied upon. Again, depending
on the result of identifying the suspected data units, different actions are performed (108).

Abstract: A method of wireless data communication. The method includes the step
of receiving a feedback indicator signal at two or more points in space from two
or more transmission paths. Each transmission path may correspond with a
wireless unit seeking to communicate over a downlink and/or an uplink. The
method, thereafter, includes the step of measuring a relative phase difference
between the feedback indicator signals of two or more transmission paths.
Subsequently, one spreading code may be assigned to two or more transmission
paths if the measured relative phase difference between their feedback indicator
signals corresponds with minimal mutual interference. Consequently, two or
more wireless units having a measured relative phase difference in the range of
about 90 degrees and about 270 degrees, for example, may use the at least of the
same spreading codes.

Abstract: A method of performing polarity switching short circuiting arc welding is provided. In the arc welding, a welding wire is fed at a constant feeding rate, a short circuiting state and a arcing state appear repeatedly between the welding wire and a base metal, and the output polarity of a welding power source is switched in accordance with a polarity switching signal (5a,5b) for performing electrode positive welding and electrode negative welding. In accordance with the method, the welding current is reduced during a predetermined short circuit initial period (Ti), when a first arc is formed after the polarity switching signal changes. Then, the output polarity of the welding power source is changed when the short circuit initial period has lapsed. Further, the welding current is increased for terminating the arc forming between the welding wire and the base metal.

Abstract: An electron emitting apparatus (10) includes a lower electrode (12), an emitter section (13) made of a dielectric material, a plurality of upper electrodes (14) having micro through holes, and a collector electrode (18) opposing the upper electrodes. In this electron-emitting apparatus (10), electrons are accumulated in the emitter section (13) by controlling the potential difference (drive voltage) between the lower (12) and upper (14) electrodes with respect to the potential of the lower electrode (12) to a negative predetermined voltage. At this time, the collector electrode (18) of the electron-emitting apparatus (10) is grounded. Thus, unnecessary electron-emitting is suppressed. Subsequently, the drive voltage is changed to a positive predetermined voltage. As a result, polarization reversal occurs in the emitter section (13), and accumulated electros are emitted through the micro through holes in the upper electrodes (14) by Coulomb repulsion. At this time, a positive voltage Vc is applied to the collector electrode (18) to give large energy to accelerate the electrons.
