Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer
particles which exhibit slow-release properties and to a process for their
production. The process comprises (1) applying an isocyanate-reactive
component or a polyisocyanate component to fertilizer particles, to form
coated fertilizer particles, followed by (2) applying a polyisocyanate
component or an isocyanate-reactive component onto the coated fertilizer
particles to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles, and,
optionally, repeating these steps as many times as necessary to form the
polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles that contain about 2 to 20%
by weight of polyurethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated
fertilizer particles. Alternatively, the isocyanate-reactive component and
the polyisocyanate component can be premixed prior to being applied to
the fertilizer particles to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles.
Suitable isocyanate-reactive components comprise oleo polyols.

Abstract: A method for generating an image-dependent tone scale curve
includes (a) computing an image activity histogram for an input image value as a
function of the number of neighboring pixels that have a predetermined amount of
image modulation exclusive of a predetermined noise modulation; and (b)
constructing an image-dependent tone scale curve from the image activity
histogram. The predetermined amount of image modulation may comprise any
image value within two specified intervals each bounded by a noise threshold and
a modulation threshold. In another aspect, a tone scale curve that optimizes the
rendering of image activity is generated under one or more constraints. More
particularly, one or more slope-limit constraints and/or point constraints are
established and then a tone scale function is constructed by applying the slope-limit
constraints in a tone scale derivative space. An image activity histogram is
computed and applied to the tone scale slopefunction. Finally, the tone scale slope
function is integrated to generate the tone scale curve.

Abstract: A shock absorber for a shaft. The shock absorber (10) comprises a collar (32) having an
opening receiving the shaft (18). A clearance gap (48) is defined between the collar opening
and the shaft. A pin (44) offset from the axis connects the collar to a shoulder (40) on the shaft.
A resilient o-ring (50) arranged in the clearance gap engages the collar and the shaft. In
operation, the collar and the shaft rotate in unison. However, when the collar
accelerates or comes to a sudden stop, the resilient o-ring compresses to provide the
shock absorption. The shock absorber may be incorporated into a rotary actuator. In a
rotary actuator, the collar includes a stop tab (34) that rotates between two stop surfaces of
the actuator housing. When the stop tab strikes one of the stop surfaces, the resilient
member compresses thereby absorbing and reducing impact force. Compression in the
resilient member is snubbed via mechanical stops (28,30).

Abstract: The present invention is a system that includes a packet generation
system generating wireless image data packets having a size which is dynamically
controlled responsive to a characteristic associated with the packets. The
characteristic can be the number of 1's in the serial data stream, the bit error rate of
the packets produced during transmission or the bit error rate trend produced during
transmission. A packet size controller determines and changes a size of the packet.
A packet generator collects serial image data for the packet and generates a data
packet having a data field of the size determined by the controller. The packet
generator supplies the packet to a wireless packet data transmission system where it is
transmitted to a receiver which uses the image data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing discriminative training of, for
example, call routing training data (or, alternatively, other classification training
data) which improves the subsequent classification of a user's natural language
based requests. An initial scoring matrix is generated based on the training data and
then the scoring matrix is adjusted so as to improve the discrimination between
competing classes ( e.g.,  destinations). In accordance with one illustrative
embodiment of the present invention, a Generalized Probabilistic Descent (GPD)
algorithm may be advantageously employed to provide the improved discrimination.
More specifically, the present invention provides a method and apparatus
comprising steps or means for generating an initial scoring matrix comprising a
numerical value for each of a set of  n  classes in association with each of a set of  m 
features, the initial scoring matrix based on a set of training data and, for each
element of said set of training data, based on a subset of said features which are
comprised in the natural language text of said element of said set of training data
and on one of said classes which has been identified therefor; and based on the
initial scoring matrix and the set of training data, generating a discriminatively
trained scoring matrix for use by said classification system by adjusting one or more
of said numerical values such that a greater degree of discrimination exists between
competing ones of said classes when said classification requests are performed,
thereby resulting in a reduced classification error rate.

Abstract: In a metallic gasket(1,30,40,50,60,90) having a
metallic sheet made with a recess(10,11,22,23,77,95,96)
surrounding around a diverse type of hole(3,4,6,7,71a,
72a), in which an elastic sealing member(15,16,78,97,98)
is installed, a relation between the recess and the
elastic sealing member in their cross sections(RS) and
also configurations is so specified as to use the
elastic sealing member within a range of elastic limit
inherent in the elastic sealing member, thereby
improving the sealing performance of the metallic
gasket. The elastic sealing member installed in the
recess formed around the hole such as combustion hole(3)
and so on is composed of a top(18) extending above a
major side(12) of the metallic sheet(2), and a bottom
(20) having a cross section reaching widthwise opposing
side surfaces(14) of the recess. The elastic sealing
member is made not more than the recess in their cross
section(SB+ST) perpendicular to the major side(12) of
the metallic sheet(2). Thus, the elastic sealing
member, when the metallic gasket is squeezed, may serve
its useful function within the range of inherent
elastic limit. This helps ensure the properly tight
and enduring sealing condition, thereby keeping the
gasket against premature degradation and any collapse.

Abstract: A method of repairing a thermal barrier coating (16) on a component (10)
designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as turbine, combustor
and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The method more
particularly involves repairing a thermal barrier coating (16) on a component
(10) that has suffered localized spallation (20) of the thermal barrier coating
(16). After cleaning the surface area (22) of the component (10) exposed by
the localized spallation (20), a ceramic paste (24) comprising a ceramic
powder in a binder is applied to the surface area (22) of the component (10).
The binder is then reacted to yield a ceramic-containing repair coating that
covers the surface area of the component and comprises the ceramic powder
in a matrix of a material formed when the binder was reacted. The binder is
preferably a ceramic precursor material that can be converted immediately to
a ceramic or allowed to thermally decompose over time to form a ceramic,
such that the repair coating has a ceramic matrix. The repair method can be
performed while the component (10) remains installed, e.g., in a gas turbine
engine. Immediately after the reaction step, the gas turbine engine can
resume operation during which the binder is further reacted/converted and the
strength of the repair coating increases.
