Title: Speedometer for Aeroplanes, Ships, and like Purposes.
Inventor: MINSART EDOUARD
IPC: G01P7/00
Filed: 1915-08-16
Abstract: 11,827. Minsart, E., and Droog, H. de. Aug. 16. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In a speedometer for aeroplanes, ships, &c., two gyrostats geared together are mounted so that movement about their precessional axes integrates the acceleration and therefore gives. on a suitable scale, an indication of the speed. Mounted in a box B by trunnions 1 is a frame F<1> adapted to support, by trunnions 2, a second frame F<2>, the axis of which is placed transversely to the direction of motion. The disposition of weights &c. in this frame is such that it always tends to behave as a pendulum mounted upon a transverse axis. Frames F<3>, fixed in the frame F<2>, support, by means of vertical axles P, the stators of two electromotors, the rotors R of which ma.y be fitted with fly-wheels F. The stators are geared together as shown, and their precessional movements are indicated on a scale by an index hand actuated by threads wound round small pulleys. The friction of the axles P is counteracted electromagnetically by means of soft steel armntures M wound round with coils S and mounted on non-magnetic extensions N so as to move in the field of electromagnets E. The coils S are connected to the supply circuit through a reversing switch e, the contact arm l of which is operated by a small pendulum p arranged to swing on acceleration or retardation and so to vary the current in the coils that the attraction of the armatures M may be in the direction in which precession will occur. A sliding counterweight C provides for adjustment so that the precessional axes may be vertical when the apparatus is idle. When, in the position of rest, the friction-counteracting coils are deenergized owing to the switch c being open, the zero position is maintained by a small spring; but when movement occurs a small electromagnet automatically disables the spring.

Filed: 2015-03-30
Abstract: ABSTRACT Present invention provides specially design of converter of gravitational force into electrical energy. The present invention made a design that could convert any unidirectional force into energy. The design is based on a simple idea of making object move using the downward attraction force which is gravity. This design works on the principle of acceleration due to gravity and gives the momentum to the mass and this gives potential energy to the springs and again transfer it to the pipe to make it go down and then again transfer it to the springs then again this cycle continues. This will work until there is no gravity on earth and as we know that the day will never come when there will be no gravity as it is one of the four fundamental forces that make our universe. Following invention is described in detail with the help of Figure 1 of sheet 1 showing the setup of the system.

Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a detection function for a target image such as a face in a speed and accuracy by performing screening by a candidate selecting part, selecting and eliminating many input images that do not include a face in the area and subsequently processing only a candidate area by a face detecting part. SOLUTION: A candidate selecting part 12 includes a linear correlating part 52 and a processing module 54 and they forms a linear matched filter 56. The part 12 also includes contrast calculating parts 58, 60 and 62 and a decision module 64 and they forms a nonlinear filter 66. The filter 56 selects many interim candidate areas that seem to include a face an input image according to certain reference. The nonlinear filter examines the selected interim candidate areas and abandons undesirable candidate areas according to another reference. A face detecting part 14 processes residual areas as a candidate area. The associated operation of the filters 56 and 66 increases the selection accuracy of an optimum candidate area by the part 12.

Title: Inductor and manufacturing method thereof
Inventor: YAMAZAKI NOBUYUKI
IPC: H01F17/00
Filed: 2000-01-12
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inductor which can be formed thinly and can be manufactured easily and to provide a manufacturing method thereof. SOLUTION: A metal conductor 13 and a sheet of non-magnetic material 14 are interlaminated between a flat-form magnetic member 11 on which a recess 11a is formed and a flat-form magnetic member 12, thereby composing an inductor which has a non-magnetic layer formed between those two magnetic members 11 and 12 by a thickness of the non-magnetic material sheet 14. As a result, the intensity of magnetic field which produces the magnetic saturation is enhanced by a non-magnetic layer between the two magnetic members 11 and 12 and accordingly, the magnetic saturation can be avoided. Furthermore, the value of inductance can be predetermined arbitrarily by varying an arrangement or a shape of the metal conductor 13 between the two magnetic members 11 and 12 and the manufacture is extremely easy.

Title: Image forming device
Inventor: SUZUKI HIDEAKI
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 2000-01-13
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform highly accurate image density control by accurately performing the density detection of a patch on a transfer belt for each color even in the case that the transfer belt and an intermediate transfer body consist of a material incorporating a substance having the same absorption band as that of the toner of at least one color out of plural colors used. SOLUTION: When patch density is detected by using an optical sensor by which a normally reflected light quantity and an irregularly reflected light quantity by the patch on the transfer belt are simultaneously measured, though the density detection of the patch of black toner is not made possible at the sensor output value Vd of irregularly reflected light and the density detection of the patch of color toner is made difficult because of high density by the sensor output value Vm of normal reflected light, the difference Vm-Vd of sensor output are remarkably changed by the patch density for the black toner and the color toner, and the patch density is accurately detected, so that the patch density is detected by the difference value and image density control is performed based on it.  The surface glossiness of the transfer belt is set to be >=50 and <=98 by the measuring angle of 20 deg..

IPC: G01B11/16
Filed: 2000-01-19
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-contact elongation measuring method and device capable of obtaining an accurate measured value without a marked line and being automated. SOLUTION: A laser beam is emitted to marked line assumed positions in two portions of a test piece from two sensor parts formed by a laser projector and a CCD camera. The respective laser reflected beams are individually image picked up as a speckle pattern formed by many stripes by the CCD cameras, stripes in specified positions of the respective speckle patterns are recognized as a target corresponding to each of two marked line assumed positions on the coordinates of the screen of the CCD camera, and the picture element unit moving amount on the coordinates of each target stripe moving with elongation of the test piece is detected to obtain elongation information on the test piece. The stripes of the speckle pattern image picked up by the CCD camera may be image-converted to a mark in each specified position of a television camera screen.  The image standstill or turbulence of an image of the speckle pattern of the CCD camera appearing immediately before the test piece is cut may be sensed to stop the tensile load of the test piece.
