Abstract: The electronic loading measurement involves a vertical accelerator sensor (1) which emits a signal to an amplifier (2) and thence through a decoupler (3) and a fourth order low-pass filter (4) to an analogue/digital converter (5). This is connected to a programmable level detector (6), an optional delay (7) and a non-volatile memory (8) and a display array (10a-c,12a-c) of indicator lamps. The sensor signal may be compared with a predetermined maximum loading or used to measure all loadings, not simply those which exceed set parameters. The level detector can be programmed to identify e.g. three different comparison reference values. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting digital information (111) from an asynchronous data stream (101) is achieved by providing a data stream (101) that is clocked at a data stream clock rate (210). A sampled data stream (103) is produced by sampling the asynchronous data stream at a first clock rate (105), which is independent of the data stream clock rate (210). Using the sampled data stream (103), a recovered clock (107) is generated. The recovered clock (107) is then used to extract the digital information (111) from the sampled data stream (103).

Abstract: A chip buildup detection and control apparatus having a flow transducer and flow monitor to measure and monitor coolant flow to a cutter of a machine tool for detecting excessive chip buildup on the cutter and removing the buildup on the cutter which decreases machining cycle time while increasing cutter life and machine tool production. Excessive chip buildup on the cutter is detected when coolant flow to the cutter drops below a minimum flow rate limit. Buildup is removed upon detection by initiating a "pecking" cycle where the cutter is retracted from its position of engagement with the workpiece being machined for a predetermined dwell period of time. The machining cycle is aborted if coolant flow does not rise above the minimum limit by the end of the dwell period. If coolant flow rises above the minimum flow limit, the cutter is advanced almost to its previous position of engagement with the workpiece and machining is resumed. Preferably, if coolant flow to the cutter rises above a maximum flow rate limit, the "pecking" cycle is initiated and, thereafter, the machining cycle is aborted if flow does not drop below the maximum limit during a predetermined dwell period. In a preferred embodiment, a "pecking" cycle is initiated if coolant flow to the cutter falls outside a normal flow rate window of between the minimum and maximum flow rate limits. Therefore, "pecking" cycles are only initiated when excessive chip buildup or cutter failure is detected.

Abstract: A movable scroll element for a scroll type compressor is produced by a combination of a mold casting process and a machining process. The mold casting process produces a cast product having an end-plate forming portion, a spiral-member-forming portion and a projecting portion for forming a drive power receiving portion. The cast product has an entire outer faces covered with black scale, and the machining process machines the end-plate-forming portion, a spiral member forming portion, the projecting portion by cutting. Nevertheless, at least an outer circumference of the drive power receiving portion, i.e., a boss portion of the movable scroll element is covered with an outermost layer consisting of black scale. Thus, a sufficient mechanical strength of the movable scroll element is obtained even if the wall thickness of the drive power receiving portion, i.e., the boss portion of the movable scroll element, is reduced.

Abstract: At a transmitting end, transmission signals corresponding to more than one channel are allocated different microwave frequencies and carriers of the microwave frequencies are modulated with the transmission signals in modulators. A filter (32-1 to 32-k) is placed in the preceding or succeeding stage of a respective modulator (31-1 to 31-k) to band-limit a corresponding transmission signal before or after modulation. The band-limited and modulated transmission signals are combined to produce a microwave frequency-division multiplexed signal. The multiplexed signal modulates an optical frequency modulator (33) to produce an optical modulated signal. The optical modulated signal is transmitted to the receiving end. At the receiving end, the optical signal transmitted from the transmitting end is detected and converted to an electrical signal. The channel components are extracted from the electrical signal by bandpass filters (36-1 to 36-k) and then demodulated. Polarization fluctuations at the transmitter side are avoided by means of mixing signal light and local light after having made coincident their polarization states.

Abstract: A satellite stabilization system compensates for the destabilizing torque introduced by solar radiation pressure by the emplacement of tabs (54, 56) of material angled relative to the back surfaces of the antenna reflectors (28, 30) to intercept solar rays (40) . The material of the tabs interacts with the solar radiation in substantially the same manner as the interaction of the material on the back surface of each antenna reflector to produce a radiation pressure and consequential increment in a torque about an axis of the satellite. Each of the tabs is constructed in the manner of a plate or disk, and is attached by means of a spring mount (44) to the back surface of one of the reflectors. The reflectors are angled relative to each other as well as to a body (26) of the satellite which holds feeds (46, 48) for illuminating the reflectors, for directing beams of radiation from the feeds towards the earth. Due to the angulation of the reflectors to each other, the total solar energy incident upon a pair of the reflectors is generally unequal, this resulting in a net torque from the solar radiation pressure which tends to rotate the satellite. By virtue of the angulation of the tabs relative to the reflectors, an increased amount of solar radiation is received by the reflector which is angled away from the sun's rays, thereby to equalize the torque from both of the reflectors.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for separating touching characters within an optical character recognition (OCR) computer (1). An input document (20) is scanned by scanner (2), forming a set of scan lines (3). A segmentation process (4) is performed on the scan lines (3) to create a set of segmented image boxes (5). Candidate characters within the image boxes (5) are classified by a classification module (6), based upon a library of stored models (7). When the candidate characters have high degree of confidence, they are classified and coded into a binary form (8), such as ASCII. Those candidate characters that are not classified are processed by a touching character decision module (9) to determine whether a series of separation modules (10-14) is to be invoked. The execution of modules (10-13), followed by the reexecution of modules (4) and (6), may or may not cause all of the touching characters to be separated. Any touching characters that remain are subjected to one or more reprocessing cycles. The reprocessing can entail examination (14) of adjacent scan lines (3), shifting of separation threshold T by separation threshold determination module (10), or re-execution of deconvolution step (12) with changed parameters or structure.
