IPC: F02M37/54
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: A fuel delivery system containing a plurality of components that cooperate to provide improved fuel economy and reduced environmental pollution. These components include elastomeric check valve body members having a shaft and a cylindrical head, and an electrical heating system to recondition the fuel. A water separator designed to eliminate the flow restriction to the device that could negate the operation of the system through the usage of synthetic or wire screen in the element. A groove so positioned in the face of the transfer pump gear cavity so as to relieve the pressure on the powering shaft seal. A divider wall protruding from the filter head base into the upper area of the filter to divide the top portion of the filter that is normally a common area of incoming fuel into two separate chambers, an inlet chamber for the incoming liquid and an outlet chamber for the exiting air bubbles. An inverted cup formed in the face of the filter head surrounding the air bleed port to collect and channel the exiting air bubbles into the air bleed port. The top plate of the filter formed so as to position the fuel ports in the upper most portion of the plate to better channel the bubbles into the discharge chamber. A wire screen sock type filter situated on the pickup tube to further reduce the chance of air bubbles passing to the engine. A spin-on filter cartridge having a reservoir of predetermined volume is used in combination with a filter head having a plug that substantially fills the reservoir, so that the reservoir can accommodate fluid drainage from the system when the filter cartridge is removed from the filter head. The filter cartridge is specially designed according to a mathematical relationship and a narrow range of nominal filtration diameters that provide enhanced utility in comparison to prior designs.

Abstract: An apparatus for and a method of transforming a scanning format can adaptively select
a scanning format transformation method. A motion estimating unit estimates a final motion
vector among the motion vectors determined by a full search and predicted motion estimation
and determines a first motion estimation type of the final motion vector. A motion analyzing unit
and a motion estimation type analyzing unit respectively determine an existence of a global
motion and a third motion estimation type from the final motion vector. A motion compensating
unit and a temporal-spatial interpolating unit generate a first pixel and a second pixel,
respectively. A format transforming unit transforms the scanning format by adaptively selecting
one of the first and second pixels on a basis of at least one of the third motion estimation type
and the information on the existence of the global motion. As a result, the scanning format
transformation method can be adaptively selected from a motion compensation method and a
temporal-spatial interpolation method according to the motion type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing clustering of a document image are
disclosed. A property of an extracted mark from a document is compared to the
properties of the existing clusters. If the property of the mark fails to match any of the
properties of the existing clusters, the mark is added as a new cluster to the existing
cluster. One property that can be utilized is x size and y size, which is the width and
height, of the existing clusters. Another property that can be employed is ink size, which
refers to the ratio of black pixels to total pixels in a cluster. Yet another property that can
be utilized is a reduced mark or image, which is a pixel size reduced version the bitmap
of the mark and/or cluster. The above properties can be employed to identify mismatches
and reduce the number of bit by bit comparisons performed.

IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 1999-08-05
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for selectively transmitting ions and
trapping the ions within a defined 3-dimensional space at atmospheric pressure. The
invention is based on the ion focussing principles of high field asymmetric waveform
ion mobility spectrometry in which an analyzer region is defined by a space between
first and second spaced apart electrodes, the analyzer region having a gas inlet and a
gas outlet for providing a flow of gas through the analyzer region. Ions which are
introduced into the analyzer region are carried by a gas flow towards a gas outlet. At
least one of the electrodes has a curved surface terminus located near the gas outlet
and the gas flow is adjusted so that ions are trapped in a defined 3-dimensional space
located near the tip of the terminus. Trapping of ions in a defined 3-dimensional space
allows a more concentrated flow of desired ions.

Abstract: The present invention is a radar system for detecting the presence of
obstacles. The radar system includes at least one transmitting antenna and
at least one receiving antenna. The transmitting antenna receives an input
signal and transmits an electromagnetic wave. The electromagnetic wave
reflects off an obstacle back to the receiving antenna. The receiving antenna
captures the reflected electromagnetic wave and produces an output signal.
The output signal is then combined with the input signal in a quadrature mixer
(46). The resulting in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals may be further
processed and then transmitted to a processing system (52). The processing
system (52) uses a suitable algorithm, e.g. a back projection algorithm, to
estimate the type and location of obstacles that reflect the electromagnetic
wave. In an exemplary embodiment, the algorithm is adapted to discriminate
between different sizes and locations of obstacles in order to determine if
there is a hazard. Based on this information, the processing system (52) then
communicates with a visual and/or audible warning system (54) in order to
alert the driver about the obstacle if it has been determined to be a hazard.

Abstract: In a tunable optical source, a zone plate device 100 is used to provide frequency
selective feedback to a laser diode 110. The zone plate device 100 is positioned to
receive an output mode of the laser diode 110 and to return a frequency selected image
of the mode spot to the laser diode 110. By changing the refractive index of material of
the zone plate device 100, it is possible to change the frequency providing the image at
the point of return to the laser diode 110. This allows the zone plate device 100 to be
used in tuning the optical source, without using moving parts. In an embodiment, the
zonc plate device 100 is at least partially fabricated in an electro-optic material such as
SBN:75 and can therefore be tuned by using electrodes to apply an electric field across
it. The zone plate device 100 can be coupled directly to the laser diode 110 or via a
waveguide section 105 which can be used to increase the output mode spot size from the
laser diode 110 for delivery to the zone plate device 100. The zone plate device 100 can
alternatively be used as a standalone component for filtering optical radiation from other
sources or as a switch for switching the intensity or wavelength of optical radiation
between different values. Tunable or switchable optical devices can be used for instance
in communications, such as in wavelength division multiplexing.
