Abstract: A paint color matching and coordinating system comprises an interface for receiving an input reference color, a processor capable of reading a memory, a memory including (1) instructions readable by the processor and (2) a database of architectural paint colors spanning all or most of the known color space, and a display generator. In use, the interface of the system receives an input reference color from a user. The processor selects a "reference paint color" from the database, the reference paint color being visually closer, with respect to color space, to the input reference color than any other paint color in the database. According to the invention, color space is divided into a plurality of fixed, generally equally sized, non-overlapping, contiguous portions, each color space portion being defined as the space of all colors within a band of hues within color space. The processor selects five sets of paint colors one set from each of the color space portions that include the five hues that comprise the "five-way harmony" of the reference paint color. The processor may also select a sixth set of paint colors from the color space portion that includes the hue of the reference paint color. Finally, the processor directs the display generator to create a display of color samples of the reference paint color and of the first through sixth sets of paint colors.

Abstract: A strapping machine having an inertial rotating system allowing for strapping materials to be continually fed to the feed wheel of the device is provided. The inertial rotating system allows the strapping machine to continue to feed strapping material such that loops of excess material are not generated upon the cessation of pull force on the strapping material The inertial rotating system includes a twisted belt allowing the motor shaft to be placed approximately perpendicular to the pulley attached to the reel of strapping material such that the pulley and strap may be housed within the housing of the strapping machine. The use of a twisted belt allows for the use of a motor having a single drive shaft, thus simplifying the motor used in the strapping machine. The inertial rotating system further provides a means to rewind and recover strapping material from the strapping machine.

Abstract: A polarization-combining fused-fiber optical coupler is made of polarization maintaining (PM) fibers spliced to non-birefringent single mode (SM) fibers which are fused and drawn near the splicing to form a coupler with an adiabatic tapered profile. The linearly polarized light injected into PM fibers travels through the coupler where the power of the two polarizations is combined and transmitted to one output fiber. The method for producing such coupler involves splicing a pair of PM fibers to a pair of SM fibers, then injecting linearly polarized light into each PM fiber and fusing and drawing SM fibers to form an adiabatic coupler with maximum power transmission at a desired wavelength going to only one output fiber.

Abstract: In cutting the top and bottom surfaces of a hot-rolled steel sheet by the rotation of milling cutters holding the sheet therebetween in the thickness direction of the sheet in the running process of the hot-rolled sheet, the cutting resistance is determined by the cutting conditions including the type of hot-rolled sheet, the temperature in cutting, and the cut depth is controlled by the adjustment of cut depth, and cutting is performed by making the tension produced on the hot-rolled sheet by the cutting resistance lower than the breaking strength of the joint portion to prevent the breakage of hot-rolled sheet.   For each milling cutter there is a chip discharge means for removing chips produced by the cutting action of the milling cutter or the steel sheet.

Abstract: An orientation system for corrective eye surgery includes a camera for performing a first image mapping a patient's eye using a predetermined eye feature and software for processing the first image map to determine an edge location of the feature.  A second image mapping is performed with the patient in a different position.  The second image map is processed to locate the feature. In a second embodiment a pen is used to make two alignment marks on the eye. The eye is imaged with the patient in another position, and the image displayed. Software superimposes a graphical reticle onto the eye image, which is movable to align with the two alignment marks. In both cases software also calculates an orientational change to be applied to a corrective prescription for a surgical procedure to be performed on the eye with the patient in the second position.

Abstract: L'objectif de l'invention est de créer un procédé permettant de fermer à la machine une couture à point de chaînette double, selon lequel le point de chaînette est formé au moyen d'une machine à coudre industrielle comportant une aiguille à coudre et du fil à coudre, ainsi qu'un crochet principal comportant un fil de dessous, le sens de la couture étant inversé pour la fermeture. Avec ce procédé, on doit pouvoir réaliser la couture à point de chaînette de façon simple et avec une précision élevée, même à des vitesses de couture élevées. A cet effet, il est proposé: qu'après inversion du sens de couture, la tête de maille formée par l'aiguille de couture au-dessous de la bande de matière soit prise en charge selon le rythme de piqûre de l'aiguille de couture; qu'ensuite la tête de maille soit, au moyen d'une partie auxiliaire entraînée en synchronisme par la machine à coudre, glissée sur le crochet principal, dans le sens opposé à son sens de travail; qu'ensuite, au moyen de ladite partie auxiliaire, le fil d'aiguille formant la tête de maille soit, guidé avec le fil de dessous, à une certaine distance de l'aiguille et du crochet principal, dans le sens de couture vers l'avant, devant ledit crochet, et ainsi maintenu, et que les parties de fil guidées ensemble soient déplacées dans le sens de couture vers l'avant et qu'un triangle de fil, constitué du brin de fil d'aiguille formant la tête de maille, de la partie de fil de dessous guidée parallèlement au crochet principal et de la partie de fil de dessous guidant les parties de fil guidées ensemble soit étiré, l'aiguille de couture effectuant une piqûre dans ce rectangle; et qu'ensuite, au moyen de la partie auxiliaire, ledit triangle de fil soit maintenu ouvert pour la formation de la tête de maille suivante constituée du fil d'aiguille et que presque simultanément les parties de fil guidées ensemble soient libérées par la partie auxiliaire.
