Abstract: A tool for machining workpieces by motion of the machining tool relative to the
workpiece has a support (12) extending (10) in the X-axis over a work support table and movable in the
Y-axis. A machining tool housing (30) is movable on the support in the Y-axis. A portion of the
housing containing the machining tool (10) is movable with respect to the mounted portion in the Y-axis
within a limited range of motion. A computer control (60) effects operation of drive motors (16,28) to
move the housing along the support (12) and the support (12) along the machining tool table to machine
a workpiece supported on said worktable in X and Y axes, and the computer control (60) can also
effect operation of another drive motor (20) to rapidly move of the housing portion and machining
tool in the Y-axis when the desired length of motion in the Y-axis is within its range of motion.

Abstract: A signal adaptive filtering method for reducing blocking effect and ringing noise, a
signal adaptive filter, and a computer readable medium, The signal adaptive
filtering method capable of reducing blocking effect and ringing noise of image
data when a frame is composed of blocks of a predetermined size includes the
steps of:
   a) generating blocking information for reducing the blocking effect and ringing
information for reducing the ringing noise, from coefficients of predetermined
pixels of the upper and left boundary regions of the data block when a frame
obtained by deconstrucing a bitstream image data for inverse quantization is
an intraframe; and   b) adaptively filtering the image data passed through inverse quantization and
inverse discrete cosine transform according to the generated blocking
information and ringing information.    
     Therefore the blocking effect and ringing noise can be eliminated from the image
restored from the block-based image, thereby enhancing the image restored from
compression.

Abstract: Filter unblocking device has a block (10) connecting to free air placed downstream of the filter (5) and upstream of the turbine (2), comprising an opening to free air opening onto ambient air at atmospheric pressure, which can be closed by an access (11). An electronic management module (13) holds the access in the open position while the container is under vacuum, for a predetermined period.  Device for automatic unblocking of a filter for a centralized suction unit (1) which has a container (3) for the accumulation of dust, a network of pipes (4) connected to the container and ending at closeable intakes (6), a turbine motor (2) for providing a suction flow in the container and the pipe network and a dust filter (5) between the container and the turbine. The means of access is a flap valve. After the suction system is closed upstream of the turbine, the electronic management module turns off the turbine after a pause until maximum vacuum is obtained in the container at no flow. The means of access is then opened, so that free air enters in a rush, followed by the complete stopping of the suction system. The electronic control module orders the automatic opening of the means of access during suction at non-maximal vacuum in the container and by repeated pulses. An electro-magnet is placed in the block connecting to free air near the means of access to free air. This electromagnet allows the means of access to be held in the closed position while the suction system operates. The means of access is moved to the open position under the effect of the vacuum when the current to the electro-magnet is switched off. A second electro-magnet is placed near the opening between the block and the turbine so the means of access is opened by supplying current successively to the first and second electro-magnets. The means of access then closes the opening between the block and the turbine. Opening the means of access takes less than 20 milliseconds.  Independent claims are included for; (1) A centralized suction installation containing a device as described above; and (2) A cleaning process for a centralized suction installation as described above, where the means of access allows a rush of free air to back-flow through the filter for a predetermined period.

Abstract: A fault detection circuit in a boiler-water level system includes a dual-frequency signal generator which develops two AC components with no associated DC component. The two frequencies are mixed and sent through an impedance matching circuit to match the impedance of the signal generating portion of the system with the impedance of the boiler water under measurement. The impedance-matched signal is then directed to two legs, one leg directed through one of a plurality of electrode probes and then to a first filter circuit, and the other leg is directed a second set of filters. In combination, the filters pass either the higher or the lower of the two frequencies to determine an open or short condition in the level sensing circuitry, as well as a steam vs. water condition.
