Abstract: A rate converter for converting data rate is adapted to hold, at an output clock rate, by using a plurality of latch circuits (2A, 2B, 2C; 12A, 12B, 12C; 22A, 22B, 22A₂, 22B₂, 22A B , 22B N ), respective signals from the output stages of a shift register (1, 11, 21) operative at an input clock rate to multiply, at the output clock rate by using a plurality of multipliers (4A, 4B, 4C; 14A, 14B, 14C; 26₁, 26₂, 26 N ), held signals from the latch circuits by filter coefficients that a plurality of coefficient generators sequentially generate to add the multiplied outputs by using an adder (5, 15, 27) to provide a rate converted output signal. Thus, this rate converter makes it possible to carry out rate conversion by a single digital filter without necessity of digital filters operative at a clock rate of the least common multiple of the input clock rate and the output clock rate.

Inventor: LICHAUER JOHN CHARLES
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1993-11-05
Abstract: A non-contact surface flaw detection system for workpieces such as nuclear fuel pellets transports the pellets continuously along an illuminated path while rotating them. A line scan camera records a series of line scans for the pellets and the resulting values of pellet reflectivity are digitized. Pixel values are compared to thresholds defined adaptively by averaging and/or using a video finite impulse response filter, to generate a binary map of "good" and "bad" pixels, that also defines the edges of the pellet in the map. A processor counts and associates bad pixels to logically define and assess blobs of bad pixels. The processor checks for coincidence of the edge pixels with a nominal edge line that best fits the edge, for finding edge flaws. The pellets assessed in this manner are selected or rejected. Camera sensor elements are normalized for gain and offset. Shifting of the pixel data cancels skew produced in scanning moving pellets. Convolution filters cancel isolated bad pixels and enhance contrast at the edge. For processing adjacent areas, the pixel image of the pellets can be tiled, flaws bridging the tile boundaries being assessed as a single blob. The apparatus is preferably arranged for parallel pipeline processing for sidewall and edge defects and can be embodied in a series of modular VME boards.

Abstract: The roller seam welding machine (1) is provided with a contour-controlled tool table (2) for the receptacle (3) to be welded. The table is driven in a known manner by a pinion (4) and a pantograph (16). In order to also be able to weld three-dimensionally running welding flanges (6) of the receptacle (3), the welding rollers (10, 11) are arranged on a vertically traversable head (14) of the machine. The welding rollers can thus be traversed in accordance with the rising or falling welding flange (6). Owing to the fact that the tank is moved only in a conventional manner in a horizontal plane and in addition the welding rollers are moved vertically, the possibility of also welding three-dimensionally running welding flanges of receptacles with high precision irrespective of weight or size of the receptacles is obtained in a simple manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The fixing system employs a special fixing device and a correspondingly designed pipe support clamp (pipe holder). The pipe support clamps are fixed by means of the fixing device to the wires of welded wire meshes or the like. The pipe support clamps have an opening (20) for receiving a heating pipe and a tunnel (18), connected resiliently to said opening, at 22, for mounting onto the wire (15). Provided laterally on the opening (20) of the pipe support clamp (12) are oblique faces (19) which are directed upwards in the mounting direction and are associated with correspondingly directed and arranged oblique faces (17) on an ejecting shaft (7) of the fixing device. The fixing device is equipped with an ejecting pusher (5) which is arranged at the entrance to the ejecting shaft (7) and passes upwards to an operating lever located in the handle and which, by way of its end remote from the operating lever, extends into the region of the opening (20) for the heating pipe in order, on actuation of the operating lever, to push the pipe support clamps out of the ejecting shaft onto the wire (15), the oblique faces (19) of the pipe support clamp (12) sliding on the oblique faces (17) on the ejecting shaft (7) in such a way that the tunnel (18) is spread and is resiliently mounted onto the wire. As a result, a fixing is possible which can be carried out by the user in an upright posture without great physical effort. At the same time, a secure mounting of the pipe support clamp is made possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In known telecommunication networks users (4-1 ... 4-M) of a facsimile machine (2-1 ... 2-N) are not identified. As a result, no evidential value relating to the identity of the sending user (4-3) or the identity of the receiving user (4-M) and the originality of the contents of the facsimile message can be derived from messages sent by facsimile machines (2-1 ... 2-N). A telecommunication network (1) according to the invention comprises identification means (3) for processing a user identification signal (USID). The identification means (3) are also arranged for producing a message (40) encrypted according to a digital signature method, which message states that a facsimile message has been exchanged between a sending user (4-3) and a receiving user (4-M). The message (40) is produced in a machine-readable code. Since this message (40) can only be generated by the identification means (3) and the contents cannot be modified unnoticed later on, this is proof of an exchange of a facsimile message between the sending user (4-3) and the receiving user (4-M).

Abstract: A magnetic or electromagnetic circuit component includes an embedded magnetic material (e.g., ferromagnetic) in an HDI structure with alternating dielectric and metal or winding layers. In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic material is situated in a substrate well, or cavity, with or without an adhesive. Alternatively, the ferromagnetic material is co-fired with the ceramic substrate and then machined to achieve a required core shape. An electroplating process is employed to construct the metal layers, such process including differential plating for varying the thickness of metal layers and/or other portions of the circuit. Laser ablation or any other suitable technique is employed to make through-holes for insertion of the posts of a ferromagnetic core plate used to complete a magnetic circuit, if required. Advantageously, a magnetic or electromagnetic component may have a height of less than about 0.1 inch. Furthermore, such magnetic or electromagnetic circuit components allow for very low inductance interconnections between these components and other circuit elements. Moreover, in a power supply, for example, not only can the complete power supply be built using HDI technology, but power density is increased at relatively low cost and at a high level of reproducibility.

Abstract: A technique for reducing signal degradation and fading within a long optical transmission system by minimizing polarization dependent hole-burning ("PDHB") through the cyclic stressing of a birefringent optical fiber to modulate the SOP of an optical signal launched into the transmission system. This effectively reduces the degree of polarization of the launched optical signal, without degrading the noise and dispersion characteristics of the signal. The modulation frequency of the SOP is chosen to ensure that the launched signal does not remain at a particular SOP long enough to anisotropically saturate any optical amplifier employed within the transmission system, and give rise to PDHB.
