Patent EP-0204639-B1 (EP)
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 1986-06-05
Granted: 1990-10-31
Abstract: A method for measuring parameters relating to the stability of joints in a patient's body includes the steps of securing a reference portion of the joint (that portion of the joint closest to the body) to a fixed location. A three dimensional digitization of the size, shape, position and coordinate system of the two portions is performed. A soft tissue compensation procedure is performed by applying forces to the reference portion of the joint to thereby determine the amount of reference portion motion, in the soft tissue surrounding the reference portion, due to these forces. A variety of forces are applied to the relative portion of a joint, which is movable relative to the reference portion thereof, and the total motion of the reference and relative portions associated with the forces are measured. By subtracting the motion determined in the soft tissue compensation from motion as determined by applying a variety of forces, the motion of only the relative portion relative to the reference portion is determined.

Abstract: In the system, a pick-up is located on the railway track in such a way that several different components to be monitored are analysed in succession. By means of an analysing device (17), individual time intervals, assigned to the particular components, of the signals generated by an IR sensor in the pick-up are evaluated according to the particular requirements dictated by the nature of the components.   The pick-up (7) operates in various measuring axes (25, 26) in succession with the aid of a rotating deflection device (11). As the railway vehicle passes it is possible to monitor the wheelset bearings (both slide and roller bearing) and brakes (wheel flange and brake discs) using one pick-up. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The lawn cultivator possesses cultivating cutters (12, 14) which can be set in rotation by a cutter shaft (20), and whose cutting edge (34) forms an undercut and makes a transition, at an obtuse angle, into the leading edge (30). The radius line (40), guided through the cutting tip (38), runs along the cutting edge (34), or the cutting edge is set at a narrow advance angle, for example of 3 DEG , relative to this radius line. Since wear takes place on arcs (46) about the centre (24), a cutting tip with a cutting angle of approximately 90 DEG  is always retained. Two cutting blades can be anchored to a double blade which is fixed on the shaft. This double blade can serve as a support for replacement blades which are to be attached diametrically, even after wear. It is also possible for a plurality of cutting teeth to be provided, in a staggered arrangement, whose cutting tips lie on radii which increase towards the rear in the direction of rotation, this guaranteeing that the tips are subjected to consecutive wear and a satisfactory cutting action is always available even after a prolonged period. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical module is used for communication over optical waveguides. To couples laser light to or from the optical waveguide (3) with as little loss as possible, the laser diode (2) must be precisely aligned with respect to the core region (22) of the end face (14) of the optical waveguide. In conventional modules, this requires costly and complicated mechanical couplers, which nevertheless do not have the necessary long-term stability. To solve the problem of how to provide a low-cost laser-to-fiber coupling which exhibits long-term stability, the optical module (1) is provided with a control facility (16, 17, 18) which controls the coupling of light on the basis of measurements of the differences in reflection factor between the core region (22) and the cladding region (23) of the end face of the optical waveguide (3). For this measurement and control, use can be made of low-priced components employed in CD players.

Abstract: There is described a photographic element in which increased exposure latitude is obtained by having a dye-forming coupler in a non-light-sensitive interlayer between two light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers. One of the silver halide emulsion layers is sensitive to a first region of the spectrum and contains a dye-forming coupler that forms a dye complementary in color to the region of the spectrum to which that layer is sensitive. The second emulsion layer is sensitive to a second region of the spectrum and contains a second coupler that forms a dye complementary to the second region of the visible spectrum. The exposure latitude in the layer sensitive to the first region of the spectrum is increased when the coupler in the interlayer forms a dye complementary in color to the second region of the spectrum, but as a function of development in the first region of the spectrum.
