Title: Apparatus for converting whiteboard into electronic whiteboard, sensor array fitted at edge of board
Inventor: HOLTZMAN RAFI
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: A graphic data-acquisition system which employs an active tracking system provides a retrofittable apparatus for converting a substantially planar surface into an electronic data capture device, in which the components of the system are readily retrofittable, at relatively low cost, to a wide variety of otherwise conventional writing-surface structures, such as so-called dry-erase whiteboards. Conventional triangulation techniques are used to track the position and motion of a writer or eraser. An encoding facility associated with the writing implement provides the ability to distinguish whether the writing implement is used for marking or an as erasing implement, as well as determining the nature or character of written line width or eraser swath. A data stream thus generated can be used in a variety of ways, such as for example, to feed information into the memory of a digital computer, and/or to feed information for transmission to remote stations.

Title: High speed grinding wheel with core and rim strength to enable abrasive segment to move at a tangential speed of 125 m/sec
Inventor: WU MIANXUE
IPC: B24D5/06
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: A method of obtaining superabrasive grinding performance from tools employing less expensive, non-superabrasive conventional abrasive grain involves operating the conventional abrasive tool at ultra high tangential contact speed, (that is at least about 125 m/s). Such ultra high operating speeds can be achieved with segmented abrasive grinding wheels having segments formed from vitreous or resin bonded particles of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, iron oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, tungsten carbide, silicon carbide and the like. The abrasive segments can be cemented to the core of the tool with an adhesive such as epoxy cement. Abrasive segments can be made to a significantly greater depth than traditional superabrasive-bearing segments, and consequently, should provide long life as well as high performance. Additionally, conventional abrasive segments are easier to true and dress and to make into intricate profiles for grinding complex shaped work pieces.
