Abstract: The present invention introduces systems, as well as methods of operating such systems, within a communication device for evaluating movement of a body relative to an environment. According to an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises a sensor and a processor. The sensor, which is associable with the body, is operable to repeatedly sense accelerative phenomena of the body. The processor, which is associated with the sensor, is operable to process the sensed accelerative phenomena as a function of at least one accelerative event characteristic. The system, and, more particularly, the processor generates state indicia relative the environment, and determines whether the evaluated body movement is within environmental tolerance. In a preferred embodiment, the processor communicates various state indicia to a monitoring controller, preferably using at least one of a wired network and a wireless network. The monitoring controller cooperates with the processor to remotely monitor the body.

Abstract: A method analyzes an image to be scanned and analyzes at least part of the image pixel-by-pixel. Elements in the image are characterized according to a perceived characteristic and each image element having a given characteristic that is adjacent a similar or identical image element is identified. In one form, there are preferably at least three different characteristics, such as black, background and edge, by which the image elements can be characterized. In another form, image elements that are close enough to each other in physical location and close enough to each other in image characteristic are grouped together or included in a blob. Sub-blobs can be found to be part of a more predominant blob. In a further form, image elements are identified that represent an edge in the image, along with identifying those edge elements that are adjacent at least one other edge element.

Abstract: The rocking edge distance difference ( delta ) in a block (Ba) composing a drive belt and the clearance in a Y-direction (Cy) between a dimple (Pj) and a hole (Ha) are set in a predetermined relation. Even if the block (Ba) is inclined by a moment to be caused according to the rocking edge distance difference, the interference between the dimple (Pj) and the hole (Ha) can be avoided or will not cause, if any, an especially high stress thereby to improve the durability of the drive belt. In the case of a small rocking edge distance difference, moreover, the clearance can be reduced to improve the relative positioning precision of the block. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The equipment (1) for controlled removal of gases from pressure bottles or pressure cartridges with a pressure exceeding that desired for removal involves a hand-operated valve, e.g. for flushing the gas space of partly emptied wine bottles with inert gases. The hand-operated valve has a thruster (4) displaceable against the force of a spring. The thruster supports a plate (3) sealingly located in a cylinder (2). The plate is fixed to the thruster at the end turned away from the operating component. The thruster and its plate are displaceable along a defined path for opening the removal valve of the pressure bottle or pressure cartridge. The thruster plate has a cross-sectional surface, which when activated by the pressure of the pressure bottle or pressure cartridge exerts an axial force on the thruster which is greater than the force exertable by hand operation or a pre-tensioned spring.
