Title: Ground compaction apparatus and method
Inventor: DAVIES M C R
IPC: G01L5/00
Filed: 1995-04-05
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for compacting ground by repeatedly impacting a mass 18 onto a base plate 10 laid on the ground, on each impact the output signals from a load cell 12 and velocity or acceleration transducers 14, 16 are processed in order to monitor the degree of compaction of the ground. The impacting of one area can then be stopped as soon as the required degree of compaction has been reached, and the apparatus moved on to an adjacent area of the ground. As described the outputs of the transducers 14, 16 are averaged (e.g. to give a signal corresponding to the velocity of the centre of the base plate) and this signal and the output of the load cell 12 are subjected to a fast Fourier transform operation. The transform of the velocity or acceleration signal is then divided by the transformed output of the load cell, and from the mobility curve the processor determines the mass of the vibrating system and the stiffness of the soil influenced by the impact. <IMAGE>

Title: Generating an error signal in a motor vehicle
Inventor: STUIBLE EWALD
IPC: G01P3/42
Filed: 1997-09-17
Abstract: For generating an error signal in a four-wheel motor vehicle, wheel rotational speed signals Nvl, Nvr, Nhl, Nhr are detected, and the existence of a turning motion is also detected from the detected speed signals and/or from the detected steering angle. During a turning motion, the speed differences * capital Greek delta *v, * capital Greek delta *h for the front and rear axles are derived and the signs of those differences are compared and/or the actual speed sequence (IR, Figure 4) is compared with two setpoint sequences (SR1, SR2) indicative of a plausible turning motion. If the signs are different and/or IR * not equal to * SR1 or SR2, for example due to transposition of electrical leads, this indicates an implausible turning motion, and after a set count T exceeding a threshold an error signal is generated, and automatic control of the brakes, e.g.for driving stability, is terminated (braking is now under the direct control of the driver).

Title: Temperature dependent dark current correction in imaging apparatus
Inventor: CHAM KIT M
IPC: H04N5/217
Filed: 1998-07-30
Abstract: In a method of minimising dark current errors associated with digital samples of a light image generated by sampling the sensed response of an array of light sensitive pixel cells 30 which includes interspersed dark pixels, 34, 36 the dark pixels are formed by shielding all light from pre-selected light sensitive pixel cells. The array of light and dark pixels are characterised to determine the variation of dark current of the light and dark pixels with variations in the temperature of the light sensitive pixel cells. The characterisation is required for each type of process used to fabricate the array of pixels. A reference value of dark current is measured for each light and dark pixel of the array of pixel cells at a reference temperature. An image dark current value is sampled from the dark pixels. A dark current ratio is calculated for each dark pixel by dividing the image dark current value of the dark pixel by the reference value of dark current of the dark pixel. The dark current of each light sensitive pixel cell is calculated from the reference value of dark current of the light sensitive pixel cell and the dark current ratios of the dark pixels. The dark current of each light sensitive pixel is then subtracted from the sampled sensed response of each light sensitive pixel.

The hot, inert solids of the fluidized bed are circulated by a regulated rate from the furnace (2) to a simple dryer (11) incorporated into the fuel feed line (7) to the boiler (1), whereby the fuel is dried and steam is generated. By virtue of controlled bed solids recirculation, a constant temperature of the dryer (11) can be maintained, thus permitting the omission of all heat transfer surfaces from the dryer (11). The nearly clean steam released from the drying process is routed from the dryer (11) to useful applications. (FIG.
