Title: Orbit clock.
Inventor: RUBIN KENNETH
IPC: G04B19/00
Filed: 1987-08-24
Abstract: A clock of novel design incorporates both digital and analog aspects.

Les signaux d'enregistrement et de lecture (64, 66, 68, 70) sont compensés en base temps pour décaler l'effet d'instabilité de la vitesse des disques en utilisant des fréquences de référence (46) émanant de l'unité de disques (18) pour convertir par abaissement et convertir par élévation le signal couleur. Dans une autre variante d'exécution, un signal de référence provenant du disque (12, 14) sert à moduler les signaux couleur. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une mémoire ''d'accompagnement'' numérique (420) mémorise les informations d'erreurs de base temps pendant l'enregistrement, en vue de la correction d'erreurs de base temps pendant la lecture. Une mémoire mono-image (602) est également prévue pour permettre la transition entre les images pendant la lecture.

Title: Measurement of burn depth in skin
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 1991-02-22
Abstract: A method for distinguishing between a full thickness and a partial thickness skin burn in a patient having a skin burn. The methods includes administering a fluorescent compound, which is excited by infrared light, to the patient to cause the compound to enter one or more capillaries below and adjacent the skin burn. The compound is then excited with infrared light, and the amount of fluorescence of the compound caused by the infrared light detected at the skin burn and at unburned skin adjacent the skin burn. The ratio of fluorescence detected at the skin burn and at the unburned skin is an indication of the thickness of the skin burn, e.g., a ratio of less than 0.4 indicates a full thickness skin burn.

Title: Car stability measuring equipment and stability regulation method.
Inventor: KAWABE HIROSHI
IPC: G01M17/06
Filed: 1994-02-18
Abstract: Wheels of a car (14) are positioned on support beds (12), each equipped with a plurality of horizontal rollers having parallel axes of rotation and with sensors for detecting the forces acting along and perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rollers. While the rollers on the rear wheel side are kept rotated, a position angle of the rear wheels is adjusted so that the force acting in the direction of the axes of rotation of the rollers on the rear wheel side becomes minimal. Under this state, the posture angles of the rear wheels are regulated so that the sum of the forces of the front wheels in the transverse direction or the difference in the longitudinal direction becomes minimal. Finally, the rollers on the front wheel side are rotated, and the position angles of the front wheels are regulated so that the force of the front wheels in the roller shaft direction becomes minimal. Regulation may be effected by rotating each wheel at a time so that the forces along and perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller become minimal.

Title: Liquefaction and partial oxidation of plastic materials
Inventor: KHAN MOTASIMUR RASHID
IPC: C10J3/46
Filed: 1994-09-30
Abstract: A process for upgrading plastic material containing inorganic filler or reinforcement material for use as feedstock in a partial oxidation gas generator for the production of raw synthesis gas, fuel gas, or reducing gas. The plastic material is granulated and partially liquefied by heating in a closed autoclave at a temperature in the range of about 400 DEG  F. to 495 DEG  F. and a pressure in the range of about 150 psig to 750 psig while the plastic material is in contact with a pumpable hydrocarbonaceous liquid solvent. A pumpable slurry is thereby produced comprising solubilized plastic, unsolubilized plastic, hydrocarbonaceous liquid solvent, separated inorganic material and unseparated inorganic material. After removing the separated inorganic material, the remainder of the slurry is then reacted by partial oxidation to produce said raw synthesis gas, fuel gas or reducing gas.

Abstract: A method and system for the automated detection of lesions such as masses and/or tissue (parenchymal) distortions in medical images such as mammograms. Dense regions and subcutaneous fat regions within a mammogram are segmented. A background correction may be performed within the dense regions. Hough spectrum within ROIs placed in the breast region of a mammogram are calculated and thresholded using the intensity value  eta  in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the number of false-positive detections. Lesions are detected based on the thresholded Hough spectra. The thresholded Hough spectra are also used to differentiate between benign and malignant masses.
