Abstract: The invention provides a fishing bobber having a strike-indicating radio transmitter for transmitting a radio signal to the fisherman when there is a strike on the line. The bobber includes a bobber body adapted to float on a body of water with a fishing line connected to it during use. The radio transmitter is supported by and preferably housed within the bobber. Operatively connected to the transmitter is a transmitter switch for actuating the transmitter. An operating means is connected to the switch for closing the switch in response to a fish exerting tension on the fishing line to thereby operate the radio transmitter so as to broadcast a radio signal to alert the fisherman when a fish strikes. In one preferred form the bobber includes an auxiliary float that can move up and down relative to the bobber for actuating the switch. In another form, the bobber itself is connected to slide up and down on a post which is connected to the fishing line, so that when the post is pulled downwardly by tension on the line the bobber slides upwardly toward the top of the post, thereby closing the transmitter switch. The radio transmitter can also be supported on a transmitter float which floats on the surface of the water next to the bobber and is connected to it electrically.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining optical distance
Inventor: MELVILLE CHARLES D
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 1999-11-02
Granted: 2004-03-30
Abstract: Apparent distance of a pixel within an optical field of view F is determined. Incoming light is scanned along a raster pattern to direct light for a select pixel onto a light distance detector (36). The distance is sampled for each pixel or for a group of pixels. The light distance detector includes a concentric set of rings sensors (42-50). The larger the spot of light corresponding to the pixel, the more rings are impinged.    The diameter of the spot is proportional to the distance at which the light originated (e.g., light source or object from which light was reflected).      Alternatively, a variable focus lens (VFL) 62/70/80 adjusts focal length for a given pixel to achieve a standard spot size. The distance at which the light originated correlates to the focal length of the VFL.

Abstract: An acoustic telemetry system is disclosed that reduces any through-drillstring drilling noise which contaminates a through-drillstring telemetry signal.  Normal filtering operations are provided to remove noise outside the frequency band of interest, and reference signal filtering operations are provided to reduce the in-band noise, thereby enhancing the telemetry system's data rate and reliability. In one embodiment, the acoustic telemetry system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter induces an acoustic information signal that propagates along the tubing string. Existing noise in the tubing string contaminates the information signal. The receiver is provided with sensors for measuring the corrupted information signal and a reference signal that is indicative of the noise present in the measured information signal. The receiver uses a filter to convert the reference signal into an estimate of the information signal corruption, and a summing element to subtract the estimate from the reference signal to produce an information signal with reduced corruption. In a preferred embodiment, the information signal is propagated in an axial transmission mode, and the noise in the torsional mode is used as the reference signal for reducing noise the information signal picks up in the axial mode.

Title: Gas sensor with phased heaters for increased sensitivity
Inventor: GOETZ JAY
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2000-07-20
Granted: 2006-04-25
Abstract: A concentrator and sensor assembly are disclosed that use phased heaters to multiply the concentration levels that can be eluted, relative to operation with a single interactive element having a sorbent material to increase the concentration of desired gas constituents at a detector. This is accomplishe d here by providing two or more interactive concentrator elements that are selectively heated in a time phased sequence so that each of the interactive elements becomes heated and desorbs gas constituents into the sample fluid stream at substantially the same time that an upstream concentration pulse, produced by heating one or more upstream interactive elements, reaches the interactive element. This produces a multiplication effect that significantl y increases the concentration of the gas constituents at the detector, thereby increasing the effective sensitivity of the detector.

Title: Twin fabric forming section blade mounting
Inventor: MCPHERSON DOUGLAS R
IPC: D21F1/52
Filed: 2000-11-15
Granted: 2008-04-15
Abstract: A flexible mounting for use in the forming section of a twin forming fabric papermaking machine comprises a base member supported by the machine structure to which is attached a flexible C-shaped beam, which has a first edge attached to the base member, and a fabric contacting blade attachment means at a second edge. A pressurized loading tube is located within the C-shaped beam between its second edge and the base member. The flexible mounting involves no moving parts in sliding contact. When the pressurized loading tube is loaded, the C-shaped beam flexes thus allowing the blade to move over an arc into contact with a forming fabric. As the pressurized tube is further loaded, the contact face of the blade is moved over the arc into further engagement with the forming fabric. The mounting reduces fabric wear and allows localized flexing to accommodate variations in operative conditions.
