Inventor: MCCABE HOWARD WENDELL
IPC: E21D9/00
Filed: 1993-08-30
Abstract: A system is described to separately furnish to an injector apparatus (10) that is placed within a pipe two or more grout components. The injector apparatus (10) is secured in position in the pipe by components of the injector apparatus that are urged into a position of cooperation with a modified section of pipe as a consequence of the increased hydraulic pressure that occurs within the injector apparatus during the pumping of one of the grout components thereinto. The two or more grout components after separately being furnished to the injector apparatus are first combined together by elements of the system and are then thoroughly mixed (reacted) together by other elements of the system to form a grout that is discharged from the system following their mixing together and prior to setting of the grout in ideal proximity with respect to a crack or crevice requiring grout application. All components of the system are recovered for subsequent use elsewhere.

Abstract: Reference regions are set in a radiation image, which serves as a reference among a plurality of radiation images, and template regions are set in the other radiation images. An orthogonal coordinate system is defined on each of the plurality of the radiation images. First template matching is carried out in order to match the template regions to the reference regions. Factors of affine transformation are calculated, and first affine transformation is carried out, with which at least the correction with a rotating operation and the correction with an enlargement or reduction factor are carried out on the radiation images containing the template regions. Second template matching is then carried out on the radiation images, which have been obtained from the first affine transformation. The factors of affine transformation are calculated, and second affine transformation is then carried out, with which the correction with the rotating operation, the correction with the enlargement or reduction factor, and the correction with a parallel translation are carried out on the radiation images containing the template regions.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for reducing or eliminating the odors commonly produced by the sterilization of polyolefin-based products by gamma radiation. In addition, the invention also provides a method for minimizing the amount of fabric strength loss associated with the irradiation process and a method for actually increasing the fabric strength of a polyethylene that has been irradiated. Both the reduction in odors and the minimization of strength or increase in polyolefin strength are achieved in methods comprising the use of an oxygen scavenger. The invention further includes the use of non-gamma stabilized polyolefins. The polyolefinic product may also include an odor mask that may be used to mask any residual odor.

Abstract: An information storage system is described which comprises a reading device (6) and an optical record carrier (5) having at least two information planes (1, 2, 3). The radiation from the record carrier is converted in a detection system (15) into a detection signal (16) which is applied to a detection circuit (17). In order that this circuit can derive the read information from the detection signal in a reliable manner, the interference signals generated by the information planes which are not to be read should comply with a requirement, referred to as the interference requirement, which is characteristic of the detection circuit. Values for the parameters of the record carrier, such as the thickness of the layers between the information planes and the reflection and transmission coefficients of the information planes then follow from this interference requirement.

Abstract: A shorted dual MR head (70) which is magnetically shielded for the purpose of isolating the dual MR head from extraneous magnetic fields and from long wavelength recorded signals which could cause nonlinear distortion of the dual MR head but not shielded for the purpose of improving linear resolution.

In one embodiment, at least one shielding element for the dual MR head can be one of the poles or other components of an inductive record head and, together, the two heads can form an integrated thin-film inductive record/MR reproduce head assembly.

Abstract: A moderator on a communication network periodically transmits a set of parameters for a protocol that is used to communicate over the network. Each node on the network compares the set of protocol parameters from the moderator to a set of parameters stored in that node. If the sets of parameters at a given node do not match, that given node ceases transmitting messages over the network until either the set of protocol parameters from the moderator match the stored set of parameters, or a matching set of parameters is stored in the node. Typically the active node that is assigned the lowest numerical network address functions as the moderator. However, an automatic process is utilized to prevent a node with a non-matching set of the protocol parameters from becoming the moderator for more than a brief period of time. An override procedure is provided to force all the nodes on the network to adopt a common set of protocol parameters in the event that the automatic process fails.

Abstract: s7 Each of base stations 2 is positioned in a radio zone composed of three sectors and has a base station controller 3. The base station controller 3 measures upstream interference signal levels in all directions with receiving sector antennas 11, 13, 15 or omnidirectional antenna 17, determines candidate channels for assignment to the mobile stations 18, indicates the candidate channels to the mobile stations 18, instructs each of the mobile stations 18 to measure and report downstream interference signal levels to the base station controller 3, and then determines channels to be assigned. When determining candidate channels for assignment to the mobile stations 18, the base station controller 3 rearranges candidate channels into an order of an ascending order of upstream interference signal levels based on the measured upstream interference signal levels, and assigns candidate channels to groups of mobile stations 18.

Abstract: A lighting device (40₁) comprising a high-frequency power supply device (50), an excitation coil (52), and a high-intensity electrodeless discharge lamp (54). The power supply device (50) has a rectifier section (62), a semiconductor switching section (64), and a high-frequency excitation signal generating section (66). The rectifier section (62) performs full-wave rectification on a low-frequency AC power, without smoothing the AC power. The switching section (64) switches the output of the rectifier section (62), generating a high-frequency power of at least 1 KHz. Since the voltage applied to the switching section (64) has not been smoothed, the parasitic capacitance of the switching section (64) decreases while the voltage remains at high level, thereby deceasing the power loss resulting from the parasitic capacitance. While the voltage is at low level, the parasitic capacitance increases, but the output power of the switching section (64) is small. The power loss is therefore far less when the voltage is at low level than when the voltage is at high level. Thus, the high-frequency power supply device (50) has a high conversion efficiency.
