IPC: G01M3/40
Filed: 1990-04-26
Abstract: A system for ascertaining the existence and location of anomalies along the length of a member (60), such as an underground pipeline. Electrical pulses are imparted to the pipeline at opposite ends thereof, with these pulses being synchronized so that they meet at predetermined locations along the length of the pipeline. The wave form of one of the pulses which has passed through the point of intersection is analyzed to determine the possibility of an anomaly being present at the location of intersection. These readings can be correlated to half-cell readings which could be taken along the pipeline as a means of analyzing pipeline conditions.

Abstract: Medical instruments, which may include brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, or plastic parts are microbially decontaminated (sterilized or disinfected) in an antimicrobial solution. To provide a long shelf life, premeasured doses of powdered reagents are sealed in an ampule until ready for use. The powdered reagents are selected such that they react in the presence of water to form a strong oxidant solution in an appropriate concentration to be effective as an antimicrobial. The preferred powdered reagents include acetylsalicylic acid and sodium perborate which react in the presence of water to form a peracetic acid solution. Moreover, these dry reagents form sodium metaborate and salicylic acid, both corrosion inhibitors to inhibit corrosion of metal parts of the medical instruments. The ampule may also hold a preselected dose of phosphate or other water soluble corrosion inhibitors and a wetting agent.

Abstract: A distributed launcher network (10) is modular in design, employing components which are easily added or subtracted as required by the size and number of the geographical areas to be covered. It employs one or more target sensors (12a-c) which collect target position information and feed it into a target data net (14). The target data net (14) integrates the target position information from the target sensors (12a-c) to form a summary of multiple target activity. One or more fire control centers (16a-b) are plugged into the target data net (14) receiving target position information. The fire control centers (16a-b) issue launch control orders to one or more airborne vehicles (20-a-e) through launchers (18a-e) assigned to their control. After launch, the fire control centers (16a-b) transmit updated target position information to the airborne vehicles (20a-e) under the control.

Abstract: A speech dialogue system capable of realizing natural and smooth dialogue between the system and a human user, and easy maneuverability of the system. In the system, a semantic content of an input speech from a user is understood and a semantic determination of a response output content is made according to the understood semantic content of the input speech. Then, a speech response and a visual response according to the determined response output content are generated and outputted to the user. The dialogue between the system and the user is managed by controlling transitions between user states in which the input speech is to be entered and system states in which the system response is to be outputted. The understanding of a semantic content of an input speech from a user is made by detecting keywords in the input speech, with the keywords to be detected in the input speech limited in advance, according to a state of a dialogue between the user and the system.
