Title: Apparatus and method for determining the amount of material in a tank
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 1988-09-22
Granted: 1991-11-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining tank contents employs processing means for comparing sensing outputs (e.g. derived from a liquid level sensor (4)) with metering outputs (e.g. derived from a volumetric totaliser connected to a dispenser (2)) in order to determine errors in the sensing outputs and thereby to provide a corrected calibration characteristic. In the preferred embodiment (which applies to a storage tank (1) containing petroleum), the calibration characteristic is refined, in stages, by applying incremental changes to a conversion factor used in determining data values related to the sensing output and by computing correlations to determine an optimum calibration characteristic. A corrected calibration characteristic (stored in a PROM) may be subsequently employed in equipment for displaying tank contents.

Abstract: Method of formulating a statistical model for predetermining the workload of an aircraft pilot (20), in particular of an aircraft of commercial type, as a function of objective flight parameters, in which in the course of at least one flight, real or simulated, of the aircraft, the pilot of the aircraft is required, in flight phases and under flight conditions and under determined pilot conditions, constituting the flight parameters, to provide a grade for his workload by means of a pre-established scale. This grade is recorded at the same time as the corresponding flight parameters and simultaneously the value is measured of data indicative of the said flight parameters. Finally, a statistical correlation is established between the graded values of the workload on the one hand, and the abovementioned data and the flight parameters on the other hand. 
<??>Application to the certification and development of an aircraft and to the training, improvement and checking of performance levels and to the monitoring of an aircraft pilot's level of adaptation to a new aircraft.

Abstract: Signals are detected in a single receiving channel (1 - 4). The time difference between the reception of signals emitted by the transmitting stations of two different units are measured by detecting and measuring the signals emitted by the stations of one unit during the predetermined period of time specific to this unit and by detecting and measuring the signals from the transmitting stations of the second unit during the interval of time left over from the detection and measurement of signals coming from the first unit during the specific period of this first unit.

Abstract: The invention concerns a rotary belt tool for surface working which is much more versatile and effective than known tools but is nevertheless easy to handle, durable, safe, easily maintained, as well as compact and economical. The belt of the tool is designed as an endless, narrow closed ring to which are attached radial external elements such as bristles, teeth, abrasive grain, or burnishing compounds. The belt is attached along its entire periphery to the periphery of the axial surface shell of a single belt carrier which can rotate. The tool, for example for structuring wood, finishing leather, or derusting steel profiles, can be designed as a wire brush, in which the bristles which extends radially outward from the tool axis as the axis of rotation can be attached, for example, in an equally spaced non-rotatable manner to their main bristle axis such that bristles positioned one behind the other in the peripheral direction are laterally offset to one another in the axial direction and the end regions of the bristles for example also in the peripheral direction can be slightly bent, the tips of the bristles can be smooth, and the rate of removal of material can be appreciably varied by changing the direction of rotation of the tool. By varying the lengths of the bristles, for example, over the axial length of the tool, rods of any type of material having a profile cross-section in the longitudinal direction can be surface worked over partial contour regions.

Granted: 1993-12-08
Abstract: In a floating point addition or subtraction procedures, two shift operations of the operand fraction may be required. The first shift operation, based on the difference between the operand exponent arguments, involves aligning one of the operand arguments so that the addition or subtraction procedure between the operand fractions can be performed. In order to complete the associated computations correctly, it is necessary to know if any of the fraction positions removed from the fraction by the shift operation include non-zero signals, i.e., the operation referred to as computation of the ''sticky'' bit. The second important shift operation occurs after the addition or subtraction of the operand fractions has taken place. The interim resulting operand fraction must be normalized, i.e., a non-zero signal is placed in the most significant operand fraction bit position and the operand exponent argument adjusted accordingly. In order to accomplish this normalization, the position of the leading one (most significant non-zero) bit must be identified. The present invention utilizes a carry chain both for computing the ''sticky'' bit information and for detecting the leading one in an operand fraction.

Abstract: To improve the image reproduction of a video signal, it has been proposed to double the currently standardised line number while retaining the line-interlace method. The disadvantages known from the line-interlace method are not eliminated by doubling the line number. To avoid the disadvantages known from the line-interlace method, the video signal is converted into a video frame with 900 lines and the same frame repetition rate and no line interlace.

Abstract: A fibrous composition for absorbent pads which, in addition to cellulose fibres, also contains first and second synthetic polymeric materials. At least the second polymeric material is constituted by synthetic fibres which have a higher melting point than that of the first polymeric material. The fibrous mixture is formed into the desired shape, for example, an absorbent body for disposable sanitary products, by pneumatic means. The absorbent body thus formed is then heat-treated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the first polymeric material but lower than that of the second polymeric material for a period of time so as to melt the first polymeric material and form bonding points or bridges (5) between at least the synthetic fibres (4) which have not melted and which constitute the second polymeric material. The absorbent body is cooled to a temperature such that the first polymeric material sets, bonding at least the synthetic fibres together so as to form a framework containing the cellulose fibres (6).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming metal matrix composite bodies and novel metal matrix composite bodies produced thereby. Particularly, a polycrystalline oxidation reaction product of a parent metal and an oxidant is first formed. The polycrystalline oxidation reaction product is thereafter comminuted into an appropriately sized filler material (2) which can be placed into a suitable container (4) or formed into a preform. The filler material or preform of comminuted polycrystalline oxidation reaction product (2) is thereafter placed into contact with a matrix metal alloy (1) in the presence of an infiltration enhancer, and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere, at least at some point during the process, whereupon the matrix metal alloy (1) spontaneously infiltrates the filler material or preform. As a result of utilizing comminuted or crushed polycrystalline oxidation reaction product, enhanced infiltration (e.g., enhanced rate or amount) is achieved. Moreover, novel metal matrix composite bodies are produced.
