Title: Systems, devices, and methods for managing camera focus
Filed: 2013-04-15
Abstract: A photographic device comprises an image sensor 5, an optical lens 10 and an electro-active liquid crystal lens 15 with a field of view limited by lines 20. Objects 25, 30 and 35 are located in a scene at different distances from the device in the field of view.

Patent GB-201309137-D0 (GB)
Title: Remote actuation testing tool for high pressure differential downhole environments
Filed: 2011-12-22
Abstract: A remote actuation tool equipped with an intermediate volumetric mechanism for enhanced tool durability in high pressure differential downhole environments. Valve segments of the tool are actuated by power available due to a pressure differential between atmospheric and hydrostatic chambers of the tool. Yet, the intermediate volumetric mechanism, whether in the form of a discrete chamber or a hydraulic line system, minimizes stresses of the differential pressure on tool hydraulics. Thus, failure rates are substantially reduced. So, for example, the tool may be reliably employed in downhole environments which present differential pressures in excess of about 30,000 PSI.

Granted: 1985-02-21
Abstract: An error detection arrangement for editing apparatus of the type that is used with playback and recording devices such as VTR's, wherein different signals (e.g. video and audio signals) on a first record medium, such as video tape, are transferred to a second record medium, and wherein the relative positions of the record media are represented by record medium position data. The editing apparatus comprises a console having a plurality of display registers for displaying record medium position data, a plurality of register selector switches associated with corresponding ones of the display registers, each register selector switch being operable to select its associated display register, a plurality of register indicators associated with respective ones of the display registers, a plurality of signal selector switches, each signal selector switch being operable to select particular ones of the signals reproduced from the first medium to be recorded on the second medium when a selected medium reaches a position represented by the position data displayed in a selected display register, a plurality of signal select indicators associated with respective ones of the signal selector switches, and control switches operable to initiate edit operations. A central processing unit responds to the selected operation of the signal selector switches and the register selector switches for assigning at least one of the different signals (e.g., the video or the audio signals) for transfer to the second medium when that medium reaches a relative position represented by the position data displayed in a selected display register. The central processing unit includes an error detector responsive to the operation of a control switch to detect if the data displayed in the selected display register is enabling for carrying out the edit operation and, if not, to inhibit the edit operation from being carried out and to actuate selected ones of the indicators to apprise an operator of an error condition.

Title: Method and device for the completion of an operational test, especially of an exhaust gas emission test of an internal-combustion engine
Inventor: COLLIN LARS T
IPC: G01M15/10
Filed: 1981-10-26
Granted: 1986-03-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for carrying out function tests on internal combustion engines using the idle-acceleration method. In such a test, the engine is subjected to at least one acceleration cycle, in a condition of being disconnected from the load. The various moments of inertia of the engine, including clutch plates and flywheel, cause effective loading on the engine. In this way loading cycles may be simulated by varying the positive or negative acceleration value. The invention now proposes a preparation cycle before the actual test cycle. During the preparation cycle, the acceleration values which depend on the individual engine power output are measured and the actual test cycle is corrected in dependence on the result of the measurement operation, in such a way that the predetermined acceleration values and thus also the loading values are maintained.

Patent DE-3481388-D1 (DE)

Granted: 1990-03-29
Abstract: The present system employs a microprocessor to accept ASCII signals representing text and transforms the same into coded signals representing phonemes, according to Hunnicutt rules for such transformation. The microprocessor is programmed to generate a plurality of parameters (16 bit values every 6.4 milliseconds in a preferred embodiment) in accordance with the phoneme sequence for the text. The parameters, which include mathematical considerations of the phoneme properties, are transmitted to a high speed digital signal processor whereat they are used to control multiplications and additions in doing programmed simulations of certain equations, thereby providing a digitized glottal waveform. The digitized glottal waveform at the step of the operation includes sufficient information to provide 40,000 samples per second, in a preferred embodiment. Thereafter the high speed digital signal processor subjects said digitized glottal waveform to a programmed low pass filtering operation to remove components of signals having frequencies in excess of five kilohertz and to provide some averaging of temporally adjacent values. Next the present system subjects the low pass filtered, digitized glottal waveform to down sampling, in a preferred embodiment, at the rate of 10,000 samples per second. The down sampled digitized waveform is then combined, under the guidance of a program, with a digitized waveform of aspiration sounds and then filtered by a set of digital resonators and this filtered combination is further combined with a waveform representing frication sound. This last described digital waveform is transmitted to a digital to analog converter to provide an analog waveform (spoken version) of the text.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel process for the manufacture of [2,3-trans]-tetrahydro-5-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-2-phenylfurans of the formula IIa, useful as intermediates in the production of novel (4-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-cis-5-yl)alkenoic acids of the formula I in which Ra and Rb are independently hydrogen, alkenyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, pentafluorophenyl, aryl or aryl-(1-4C)alkyl; or Ra and Rb together are polymethylene; Rc is hydroxy or (1-6C)alkanesulphonamido, A is vinylene, n is 1, Y is polymethylene, and benzene ring B bears various optional substituents. The compounds of formula I are obtained by the reaction of an aldehyde of formula II with an ylid to give an erythro-diol of formula III which is then cyclised to the required dioxane derivative of formula I. The aldehydes of formula II are obtained from the corresponding lactols of formula IIa, which are themselves obtained with the correct trans-stereochemistry by the inventive process using two selective reductions of a trans-phenylparaconic acid of formula V. The compounds of formula I are useful as therapeutic agents.
