Abstract: On décrit un système robotique modulaire (10) doté d'un ou de plusieurs ensembles de bras robotiques (14) composés d'éléments modulaires et commandés par un processeur central (12) afin de déplacer un effecteur ou outil terminal (20) dans un ou des mouvements désirés en fonction du temps. Chaque ensemble de bras comprend une combinaison, assemblée à la demande, d'éléments passifs et actifs de tailles et de formes sélectionnées, chaque élément actif comportant un moteur d'entraînement (64) faisant tourner un élément entraîné (36) avec un degré donné de liberté mécanique. Les éléments actifs de chaque ensemble de bras sont reliés au processeur central (12) via un câble de communications commun (22), pour recevoir des ordres de positionnement se présentant sous la forme de signaux de positionnement d'effecteur terminal. Les éléments actifs comprennent des microprocesseurs intérieurs individuels (16) traduisant chaque signal de positionnement d'effecteur afin d'obtenir des déplacements individualisés desdits éléments actifs qui, de manière combinée, se traduisent par le déplacement recherché de l'effecteur terminal.

Abstract: Une méthode pour analyser une image visuelle d'un objet complexe à trois dimensions comme par exemple une plante, qui évite la mauvaise classification des ombres du matériau plante. Un signal vidéo en couleur du matériau plante placé contre un fond de couleur uniforme est analysé pour donner les coordonnées de couleur pour chaque pixel dans un espace en couleur à trois dimensions. Chaque pixel est classifié comme représentant le fond ou le matériau plante, selon que les coordonnées de couleur du pixel se situent respectivement à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur d'un volume en forme de cône dans l'espace en couleur. Le volume de forme conique est déterminé pour l'extension d'un cône à partir d'une région représentant la couleur de la surface du fond, vers l'origine du système des coordonnées de couleur. De préférence, les pixels situés près de l'origine sont classifiés comme du matériau plante suivant qu'ils se trouvent ou non à l'intérieur du cône.

Date Jan. 24, 1991.An apparatus for manufacturing a foil web of a thermoplastic with locally secured fittings, for use as tarpaulins or similar articles. The apparatus includes an extruder head with an entirely or mainly downwardly directed ejection orifice and two counterrotating rollers with a nip for calibrating the extruded foil. In a feeding device with a vertical supply magazine, a stack of fittings is accommodated and a guiding device is used to guide fittings into a discharge duct extending towards the roller nip. The guiding device is electrically operated and an electrically controlled stop member with an associated fitting sensing element are arranged at the lowermost end of the discharge duct towards the roller nip for accurate control of the supply of fittings to the roller nip through controlled stopping and releasing of the fitting element as well as the monitoring of fittings in the discharge duct. The discharge duct is arranged in such a relationship to the counterrotating rollers that each fitting is supplied from the mouth of the discharge duct to the roller nip by substantially a free fall.

Abstract: Appareil et procédé de montage d'un simulateur de rayons X existants et de calcul d'une image tomographique calculée rétroprojetée. Le réseau de détecteur (26) est linéaire et sort des signaux provenant des photodiodes montées dans le réseau, lesquels signaux sont envoyés à un préprocesseur (32) à des fins de lissage, correction et filtrage et traitement ultérieur pour transformer le signal de celui produit par rayon X provenant d'une source de rayons en éventail (12), par exemple dans un système de coordonnées polaires, en un signal qui aurait été produit par un détecteur dans le réseau de détecteur et sur lequel un faisceau parallèle est incident sur un système de coordonnées cartésien. Les données transformées sont converties en une valeur d'échelle des gris pour un élément d'image ayant une position spécifique dans le système de coordonnées cartésien et sont affichées de manière appropriée. Les données sont prises à chaque angle incrémentiel au fur et à mesure que la source de rayons (12) et le réseau de détecteurs (26) tournent autour d'un objet cible (18). Le procédé de reconstruction de cette image rétroprojetée implique la correction et le lissage des signaux de sortie, la mise à l'échelle de ces signaux corrigés et lissés, et le convolutionnement des signaux mis à l'échelle en données caractérisant le rayon qui est incident sur chaque élément détecteur individuel en données d'intensité équivalente si le rayon incident avait eu son origine d'une source de rayon parallèle. L'invention concerne également des procédés de correction des données pour des lectures incorrectes de détecteur et pour le déplacement du réseau de détecteur (26) en conséquence à la rotation décentrée de la source de rayons X (12) ou du réseau de détecteurs (26) ou des deux.

Abstract: Dans un évaporateur à plaques du type à film tombant, chaque second espacement des plaques constitue un espace d'évaporation (28) dans lequel un liquide d'évaporation est réparti sur la largeur des plaques, afin de couler vers le bas sur lesdites plaques, tandis que le reste des espacements des plaques constitue des espaces de condensation (30) pour une vapeur émettant de la chaleur. L'invention concerne un agencement particulier destiné à acheminer du liquide d'évaporation dans les espaces d'évaporation (28). Selon cet agencement, une chambre de répartition (27) est délimitée à l'intérieur de la partie supérieure de chaque espacement de plaque, constituant un espace d'évaporation (28). Cette chambre de répartition s'étend sur la totalité de la largeur des plaques, et communique avec un canal d'admission de liquide, s'étendant dans l'ensemble des plaques, et formés par des orifices alignés (16) situés dans les plaques. Dans la partie supérieure de chaque espace de condensation (30), plusieurs moyens d'étanchéité (25) sont agencés horizontalement, espacés les uns des autres. Chaque élément d'étanchéité (25) forme avec les deux plaques adjacentes, une chambre de transfert (29), laquelle est isolée de l'espace de condensation (30), mais communique, par l'intermédiaire de petits trous (17, 18) situés dans les plaques, avec au moins une chambre de répartition (27) et un espace d'évaporation (28). De la vapeur émettant de la chaleur peut s'écouler jusque dans chaque espace de condensation (30) provenant du dessus, par l'intermédiaire des vides formés entre les moyens (25) d'étanchéité espacés horizontalement.
