Filed: 1996-12-18
Abstract: A system is provided for testing emergency lighting units using a receiver (36 Fig. 4) connected to the emergency lighting unit and a portable transmitter (50 Fig. 6) operable remotely with respect to the emergency lighting unit. The emergency lighting comprises a transfer relay for switching a battery between a primary power source and a lamp. A TEST button (34) and the receiver (36) each include a normally closed contact switch (35,80) connected in series with each other, as well as with a primary power source input (44) and transfer control circuitry (20). The transmitter (50) generates encoded signals for wireless transmission to the receiver as long as a control switch (58) on the transmitter is being activated by a user. The receiver (36) receives and decodes the encoded signals and opens its normally closed relay contact switch (80) as long as encoded signals are being received, causing the transfer control circuitry (20) to activate the transfer relay to switch the battery from the primary power source to the lamp. The transmitter (50) terminates transmission of encoded signals when the user deactivates the control switch (58). The receiver (30) then closes its normally closed relay switch (80) when encoded signals are no longer received, and the transfer control circuitry via the transfer relay switches the battery from the lamp to the primary power source for charging.

Abstract: L'élément de fixation d'une attache séparable comporte une partie d'attraction magnétique, qui peut être soit une partie de l'élément nécessaire à sa fonction de fixation, telle que les crochets, soit la base à laquelle les crochets sont fixés, soit un support utilisé dans un autre but. Une autre partie de l'élément de fixation se compose d'un constituant magnétiquement inerte. Cet élément de fixation peut être la partie à boucles ou la partie à crochets d'une attache classique. Les éléments de fixation et la base peuvent être unitaires ou issus de précurseurs différents, comme dans le cas d'un élément de fixation tissé. Le constituant magnétiquement inerte peut être constitué d'un plastique en polymère ou d'un élastomère thermoplastique. La partie d'attraction magnétique peut imprégner le constituant magnétiquement inerte, ou peut recouvrir le constituant magnétiquement inerte ou être recouverte par celui-ci. La partie d'attraction magnétique peut être constituée d'une poudre métallique. Le métal peut être choisi dans le groupe des poudresde fer. La partie d'attraction magnétique peut être un fer organique ou un métal des terres rares. Dans le cas d'une attache tissée, soit la structure de base, soit les crochets, soit les deux à la fois peuvent contenir la partie d'attraction magnétique. Le matériau qui constitue les crochets peut être entièrement constitué d'un matériau d'attraction magnétique, le matériau formant la base tissée étant magnétiquement inerte. Le matériau d'attraction magnétique, au lieu d'être intégré dans les éléments de fixation ou dans la base, peut être incorporé dans le substrat formé par un élément précurseur ne faisant pas partie de la base, qui lui est attaché.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining a tobacco shred filling quality includes a rotational position detector for detecting the rotational position of a driving drum of a cigarette manufacturing apparatus, a density detector for continuously detecting a tobacco shred filling density of a continuous cigarette rod, and a controller which receives the outputs of both detectors. The controller samples a density signal from the density detector every time it receives a pulse signal from the rotational position detector during a period corresponding to a distance from the beginning of the rear end portion of each double cigarette rod to the end of the front end portion of a succeeding double cigarette rod, and integrates the sampled density signal over a period corresponding to each end portion of each double cigarette rod. When the integration result falls below an allowable lower limit, the controller determines that tobacco shreds are likely to fall from the ends of the double cigarette rod during the manufacturing process, and eliminates this double cigarette rod when it reaches a filter attachment section.

Abstract: A method of coordinating the transmission of polling
messages from a low voltage distribution substation and the
responses from a plurality of electricity meters is
provided. The transmissions and responses are communicated
over the low voltage distribution network. Precise phase
of the data bit timing of transmitted polling messages from
the substation is preserved between transmissions and the
response from electricity meters maintains the phase of the
data bit timing of the messages from the substation in its
own transmissions. A further feature of the invention is
to operate a mains metering system so as to avoid
interference between polled data collection systems
operating from each of a plurality of interconnected
substations. This is achieved by operating each of the
polled data collection systems on a separate frequency. By
operating a plurality of polled data collection systems
each on a separate frequency the information carrying
capacity of a power distribution network data transmission
system is increased.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) comprises a protective tubular
conduit (12) and a flexible motion transmitting core element (14) slidably disposed in the
conduit (12) for conveying longitudinal forces. A length adjuster (18) adjusts the longitudinal
length of the core element (14). The length adjuster (18) includes a housing (20) having a
plurality of transverse teeth (22), and a slider (26) which is longitudinally moveable within
a track (24) of the housing (20) between maximum and minimum length adjusted positions.
A toothed interlock (36) is transversely movable relative to the slider (26) between a shipping
condition in which its teeth (44) are disengaged from the teeth (22) of the housing (20) and
an engaged condition in which its teeth (44) engage the teeth (22) of the housing (20). A
cantilever tang (48) within the interlock (36) is effectively isolated from the longitudinal
forces of the core element (14) for automatically restraining the interlock (36) in the locked
condition and selectively releasing the interlock (36) to return to the shipping condition for
service or readjustment. The cantilever tang (48) has a cam foot (50) which seats in a stop
groove (54) of the slider (26) when the interlock (36) is in the shipping condition and seats
behind a rear edge (56) of the slider (26) when the interlock (36) is in the engaged condition.
The blade of a screw driver (60) or the like can be used to pry the cantilever tang (48)
upwardly so that its cam foot (50) unseats from behind the rear edge (56), thereby permitting
service and readjustment without damaging the assembly (10) so that it can be reused.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and apparatus to synthesize a frequency
employing digital phase words to represent successive phase values. 
     A digital dither signal generator is used to generate a succession of dither
words which are summed with the phase words to form address words. The
address words are used to address a store to convert the address words to
waveform values. The periodic quantisation noise introduced by the digital
process is made more random by means of the dither words thereby reducing
the quantisation noise components while accepting an increased total noise
power. 
     The synthesizer is of particular advantage when used to generate the
reference frequency for a frequency multiplier implemented as a phase lock
loop. By making the dither sequence repetition frequency outside the phase
lock loop bandwidth, the spurious components are removed from the
frequency range of interest.

Abstract: Motion estimation (ME) is the process of determining the movements of objects between
successive image frames of a video sequence. Motion-compensated (MC) image processing is
the processing of images to account for the presence of motion. The present invention provides
an efficient, accurate technique for motion estimation that is compatible with an MPEG video
encoder and that overcomes the computational complexity of computing motion vectors using
the mean square error matching criterion by reducing the computation to that of a
multidimensional truncated convolution and a running sum of squares. Making use of fast
convolution procedures, this method obtains the optimal motion estimate with worst-case run
time comparable to the average run time of statistical speedup methods and to the run time
achieved by sparse-search methods.

Abstract: Ultrafine particle structure composed of a plurality of ultrafine particles disposed continuously on a substrate forming a desired shape. A plurality of the ultrafine particles consist of ultrafine particles of metal, semiconductor, compound, and the like. The ultrafine particles constituting an ultrafine particle structure are produced by disposing a target material having a slit of desired shape on a substrate and irradiating a high energy beam in a slanting direction to an inner wall surface of the target material. Constituent atoms or molecules liberated from the target material by irradiation of a high energy beam in a slanting direction are disposed continuously as a plurality of ultrafine particles on the substrate. By contacting or at least partially bonding between adjacent ultrafine particles, ultrafine particle structure is formed. Such an ultrafine particle structure contributes greatly to realization of ultrafine wirings, ultrafine devices, ultrafine functional materials, and the like which utilize the ultrafine particles.

Abstract: A plasma reactor appropriate for fabrication, especially etching, of
semiconductor integrated circuits and similar processes in which the chamber has a
top comprising a truncated conical dome (130) and, preferably, a counter electrode
disposed at the top ofthe conical dome. An RF coil (180) is wrapped around the
conical dome to inductively couple RF energy into a plasma within the chamber
dome. The dome temperature can be controlled in a number of ways. A heat sink
(138) can be attached to the outside rim ofthe dome. A rigid conical thermal control
sheath (212) can be fit to the outside of the dome, and any differential thermal
expansion between the two is accommodated by the conical geometry, thus assuring
good thermal contact. The rigid thermal control sheath can include resistive heating,
fluid cooling, or both. Alternatively, a flexible resistive heater (270) can be wrapped
around the dome inside the RF coil (262). The resistive heater includes a heater wire
wound in a serpentine path that has straight portions overlying and perpendicular to
the RF coil but has bends located away from the RF coil. The path prevents the
heater wire from shorting the azimuthal electric field induced by the RF coil and also
acts as a Faraday shield preventing capacitive coupling from the coil into the chamber
plasma.

Abstract: Methods of testing a sample in which long composite pulses comprising a sequence of short closely spaced pulse elements are disclosed. The pulses generate a qualitatively different response characteristic, which can be tailored as desired by suitable adjustment of the pulses. Near sinusoidal dependence on pulse length can be attained, and effective, efficient, inversion pulses can be produced. Typically each pulse element generates a small flip angle of a few degrees, and the sequence contains tens or even hundreds of elements. Similar excitation and effects may be produced by amplitude modulating a carrier, rather than switching pulses on and off; there is little discernible difference in the excitation seen by the sample.
