Patent EP-0453036-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MASSART DESIRE JOHAN LUC
IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 1991-04-15
Abstract: A method of calibrating an analytical instrument, for example an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, comprises measuring the absorbance of a plurality of standards of known concentration (100) and plotting the measured absorbance against concentration (101). A straight line is fitted to the plotted points (102) and a quality co-efficient calculated (103). If the quality co-efficient is acceptable (104) the calibration line is used for measurement of samples (105). If not, then the slope of the line joining each point to the origin is determined and if the slopes are random (107) then a robust regression technique is used to fit the calibration line (108). If outliers are then detected (109) it is determined which points are outliers (110) and appropriate action taken, for example to restrict the range if the last point(s) is/are outliers (111). 
     If the slopes determines in step (106) are not random then, provided more than four points remain (113) the slope of each point with respect to the first point is determined (114). If they are again not random (115) then a curved calibration line is diagnosed while if they are random a straight line not passing through the origin is diagnosed (117). In atomic absorption spectroscopy a straight line not passing through the origin indicates a problem with the blank solution, for example contamination.

Abstract: To enable the high spatial frequency content of a video signal to be transmitted and received by way of a bandwidth limited channel, the spatial frequency spectrum of the image contained in the video signal is reconfigured by interleaving. Spatial repeat spectra (1a'-4a' Fig. 4D) of at least portions (1a-4a) of the image spectrum are created at complementary interleaved positions adjacent the image spectrum (23), from which positions the original contents of the image spectrum have been removed. These portions of the image spectrum to which the repeat spectra correspond are also removed, so that the final signal includes only a selected reduced bandwidth, portion of the original image spectrum with the repeat spectra interleaved therewith.

Abstract: The invention relates to garden shears with exchangeable cutters, in which the joint has a steel bush which absorbs the radial loads (shear and bending) and guides the screw bush guided through this bush. The screw bush and the joint screw screwed into this have a flat, outwardly widened head with a slightly convex surface which merges with the shear surface. A catch disc clamped axially by the head of the joint screw (or by the head of the screw bush) serves for the axial clamping of the joint and it has inwardly directed catches which interact with catches of the opposite joint section. 
<??>The exchangeable cutters are supported from the rear by extensions of the upper handle or of the lower handle so that these do not have to absorb any bending moments.

Abstract: A light is modulated in a sending equipment according to a composed signal obtained by mixing a signal frequency-multiplexed at the microwave level in a coherent SCM optical communication system with an unmodulated signal out of the frequency band of the frequency-multiplexed signal. The resultant modulated light is optical-heterodyne-detected. A demodulating unit (811) demodulates a frequency-multiplexed signal according to an electric signal delayed by a delay unit (810) by the time equal to the time delay in an unmodulated component extracting unit (809). Only the frequency components of a frequency-multiplexed signal and an unmodulated signal must be received in a receiving equipment (807), without need of receiving the component in a broad frequency band from the frequency component to the main carrier component of the frequency-multiplexed signal.

Abstract: A large-sized liquid crystal panel uniformly filled with a liquid crystal material may be produced through a process including the steps of: fixing a pair of substrates with a sealing member disposed therebetween to form a blank panel having an injection port, reducing a pressure within the panel, applying a liquid crystal material onto the injection port, heating the liquid crystal material to its isotropic temperature, injecting the liquid crystal material into the panel under a pressure, and filling the panel with the liquid crystal material under heating and pressurization from the injection port toward the panel inside. The pressure within the panel before the injection is reduced at a rate not exceeding 25 torr/min. The pressure for injection is increased at varying rates, e.g., with an intermediate constant pressure period. In the filling step, a portion of the liquid crystal material near the injection port is held in its isotropic phase and the liquid crystal material except for the portion is transformed at least once into a smectic phase.
