Inventor: MILES DALE A
IPC: H05G1/08
Filed: 1996-12-13
Abstract: A portable and preferably hand-held X-ray generator (10) for use in intraoral and other X-ray applications, and a new process of dental image acquisition which utilizes a novel receptor holder (24) physically linked to the lightweight, portable generator (10), and a unique, articulating arm (104) and cradle (108) which allows one generator (10) to be used in multiple operatories. The system's generator has a reduced X-ray output and much smaller focal spot area than conventional dental X-ray generators, which reduces the X-ray output and the overall patient X-ray burden. The smaller focal spot also allows for improved resolution in the final image.

Abstract: The improved vehicle navigation system and method uses information from a Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain velocity vectors, which include speed and heading components, for propagating or "dead reckoning" the vehicle position from a previous position to a current position. The improved vehicle navigation system has a GPS receiver which provides the GPS velocity information which is calculated from a full set of GPS delta range measurements. GPS position data alone is not accurate enough for certain applications, such as turn-by-turn route guidance in automobile applications, because its error may be 100 m and there is considerable position drift, even when stationary. GPS velocities are much more accurate than the position data, 1m/s or thereabouts, and can be used to propagate a known position forward and be more accurate over time than the GPS position solution. These velocities are instantaneous and not those computed from differing two positions. The current position is calculated by adding displacements obtained from the GPS velocities to the previous position.

other than the master surface while performing
positioning on the basis of the master servo pattern. The
master servo pattern contains a pattern identical to the
servo pattern to be written on the surfaces other than
the master surface. The master servo pattern is written

pattern other than the pattern identical to the servo
pattern is deleted after the servo pattern is written on
the surfaces other than the master surface.

Abstract: In a process to exchange an industrial dust filter, the filter element is located within a housing surrounded by a flange behind a hatch. The opened edge of an existing rolled up membrane bag is already attached to the flange in front of the filter element within the housing. On exchanging the filter element, the hatch is removed and the rolled up bag in front of the filter element is unrolled. The filter element is manipulated by hand and withdrawn from the housing into the bag. Two tourniquets are then applied between the bagged filter and empty housing. The bagged filter is then removed by cutting the bag between the two tourniquets. A replacement filter is then presented to the housing in a bag. The open rim of the replacement bag is placed around the flange and secured in place with a strap or rubber ring over the remains of the previous bag. The remains of the first bag are then manipulated by hand through the second bag, releasing the remains of the first bag which are then rolled up and pushed to the rear of the second bag behind the replacement filter. The replacement filter is then advanced into position within the housing. The rear end of the second bag is then rolled up with the residue of the first bag behind the replacement filter, and the hatch replaced. The novelty is that: (a) the replacement bag rim is sealed against the housing flange while the replacement filter element is inserted into the housing.

periodic reference signals and amplifying by a sensing amplifier the signal
existing on of a current sensing resistor functionally connected in series with
the load, for producing an amplified signal representative of the current in the
load to be fed to an input of an error amplifier driving a power amplifier of said
bridge stage, comprises sampling the signal output by the sensing amplifier
with a Sample & Hold circuit comprising a sampling switch and a storing
capacitor. The average value of the current in the load in monitored by
sampling at an instant half way an active driving phase and at an instant half
way a current recirculation phase by closing the switch with a synchronizing
pulse that coincides with the half instant of said phases of operation. The
synchronizing pulse is generated in coincidence with the peak and with the
virtual zero crossing of said two reference periodic signals, outphased by 180
degrees. A two-input logic AND gate, combining said synchronizing pulse
and a masking signal of a preestablished duration generated at every

Abstract: The present invention can obtain a clear velocity
converted sound in a sound signal which is recorded in recording
media, without changing an interval of the sound signal. An
input sound signal (1a) is transmitted from a sound signal storage
memory (1) to a voiced sound/unvoiced sound deciding portion (2).
In the voiced sound/unvoiced sound deciding portion (2), it is
decided whether the input sound signal (1a) is a voiced sound or
an unvoiced sound. A decision result is transmitted to a speech
velocity converter (4) as a switching flag (1b). The speech
velocity converter (4) outputs the unvoiced sound as it is. A
predetermined windowing and adding processing is performed to
the voiced sound, a time compression is carried out so as to output
the voiced sound. An output signal (1e) from the speech velocity
converter (4) is output as a frame output signal (1g) through an
output sound signal frame buffer (8). In another mode, a switch
and an adder may be used.

Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism is integrated into an end cap assembly for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. Alternatively, the thermally responsive mechanism may include a meltable mass of material which melts when exposed to elevated temperature to break an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. The end cap assembly may also include integrated therein a pressure responsive current interrupt mechanism. If the internal gas pressure within an operating cell exceeds a predetermined value, the pressure responsive mechanism activates to sever an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly to prevent current from passing through the cell. The pressure responsive mechanism may include a diaphragm which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures within the end cap assembly.
