Abstract: A method and apparatus for acquiring scanning cone beam projection data along a three dimensional scanning trajectory is disclosed. The technique ensures acquisition of a substantially uniform distribution of Radon data that is sufficiently complete for exact image reconstruction of an object irradiated by a scanning cone beam source. By choosing a scanning trajectory whose planar projection onto a plurality of coaxial planes, when taken together, forms a continuous, convex, closed curve about a corresponding projection of the object being scanned; the Radon information obtained therefrom is complete and information coverage is uniform over the region of support of the object. Accordingly, this condition provides a practical, easy to implement, visual method for evaluating candidate three dimensional scanning trajectories.

Abstract: Multimedia distributions (documents, messages, etc.) on a data processing network are automatically assigned specific attributes based on the specific types of media (audio, text, etc.) contained in the distribution. First, specific attributes are associated with specific types of media. Then, the distribution is searched to determine the types of media contained therein. The attributes that are associated with those types of media present in the distribution are assigned to the distribution. The distribution may contain multiple objects. The search for media types can be limited to those objects in the distribution having predetermined relationships.

Title: Arrangement in a shock absorber
Inventor: DANEK MAGNUS
IPC: F16F9/19
Filed: 1993-06-15
Abstract: In a shock absorber, a hysteresis function, which occurs due to the compressibility of the working medium, is used as active parameter. The parameter is used for determining a damping force variation of the shock absorber during the respective piston stroke. Means (26, 27, 28 and, respectively 40, 41, 42) influence the volume of the working medium and/or the effect from the compressibility so that different spring lengths occur in the working medium. Adjustment or control (i) of the hysteresis function has the effect of redistributing the damping force during the said respective stroke.

Abstract: In the conditioning and homogenising of a glass stream (32) consisting of coloured glass, at least one cooling zone (K) and subsequently a homogenising zone are arranged in a pre-furnace between an inlet point and a removal point. In the pre-furnace, the glass temperature is lowered from an inlet temperature T1 to a removal temperature T2. For the purpose of intensifying the cooling action with simultaneous homogenising of the glass temperature, a maximum bath depth Tmax of 120 mm is set in the at least one cooling zone (K), at a throughput of at least 70 tonnes per day, by a sill-shaped raised part (23a) of the floor (23), which extends over the length of the cooling zone(s) (K). Furthermore, the cooling power is set in such a manner that, in the cooling zone (K), the temperature 20 mm above the floor is reduced by at least 40 DEG C. In the apparatus used, the raised part (23a) of the floor (23) extends over the entire length of the cooling zone(s) (K). The maximum depth Tmax of the flow channel is 120 mm above the raised part (23a) and the depth of the flow channel in the homogenising zone if at least 30 mm deeper. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A spread process is performed with a spread code assigned to each user and a spread code assigned according to an attribute and the resultant signal is modulated on the transmitter side. On the receiver side, a transmitted signal, modulated in the above manner, is subjected to an inverse spread process with the attribute-oriented spread code from a reception spread code generator, the resultant signal is subjected to an inverse spread process with the user-specific spread code from the reception spread code generator, and those signals undergone the inverse spread processes are demodulated by data demodulators to extract desired information together with a desired signal corresponding to a wide band service. It is therefore possible to simplify the management of the individual users and individual services and facilitate the system design.

Abstract: An access control system for permitting or denying access to a restricted area includes an access control device capable of reading information stored on an access card and determining whether the information read from the access card corresponds with memory information stored in the access control device to permit or deny access to a restricted area. A video camera is positioned at the entry area to the restricted area to capture live video images of an individual attempting access. The access control device determines whether the card is valid or invalid and translates the information into an output having text information through a serial communications interface port or other means of transmitting data to a text overlay control device. The text overlay control device overlays the text information describing the access control event directly onto the video images received from the video camera. The text information and video images are displayed on a video monitor while also being recorded on a video cassette recorder for later viewing.
