Abstract: This invention relates to a transmission type electron multiplier having a high secondary electron generation efficiency and having the structure capable of detecting positions of incidence of detected light, and also to an electron tube provided therewith. The electron tube comprises a closed container, an electron source, housed in the closed container, for emitting electrons into the closed container, an anode disposed so as to face the electron source, and a transmission type electron multiplier disposed between the electron source and the anode. Particularly, the transmission type electron multiplier comprises a thin film of diamond or a material containing a principal component of diamond, and a reinforcing member for reinforcing the thin film, the reinforcing member having an aperture for exposing a part of the thin film.

Inventor: MACLELLAN JOHN AUSTIN
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: A duplex radio communication system comprises an Interrogator (103)
which generates a radio signal to at least one remote Tag (105-107). The remote Tag
receives the radio signal. The Tag then generates a subcarrier signal, and using
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), modulates an information signal onto the
subcarrier. A Backscatter Modulator, using this modulated subcarrier, modulates the
reflection of the radio signal, the reflected signal being a reflected modulated signal.
The Interrogator (103) receives and demodulates the reflected modulated signal to
obtain the information signal. In one embodiment, demodulation utilizes a
homodyne detector. In another embodiment, the Interrogator modulates an
information signal onto the radio signal, transmits that modulated radio signal to the
Tag, and the Tag demodulates that modulated radio signal to recover the information
signal. In another embodiment, higher order phase modulations are used to
modulate an information signal onto the subcarrier.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé ainsi qu'un dispositif qui permettent de quantifier un vecteur de spectre émis selon des intervalles de temps répétés, ceci de manière à produire un indice de spectre. A cette fin, on utilise une liste de codage de quantification de vecteur de spectre, laquelle comprend une première partie de quantification de signaux vocaux ainsi qu'une seconde partie de quantification de signaux non vocaux. On détermine ensuite si le vecteur de spectre représente un signal vocal ou un signal non vocal. Dans le cas où le vecteur de spectre représente un signal vocal, on effectue une recherche dans la première partie de la liste de codage de manière à quantifier le vecteur de spectre et à produire l'indice de spectre. Dans le cas où le vecteur de spectre représente un signal non vocal, on effectue une recherche dans la seconde partie de liste de codage de manière à quantifier le vecteur de spectre et à produire l'indice de spectre. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, on effectue des recherches dans les première et seconde parties de la liste de codage en mesurant la distance pondérée qui sépare le vecteur de spectre des entrées de ces deux parties. On considère que le vecteur de spectre représente un signal non vocal lorsque la distance pondérée la plus petite correspond à la distance pondérée qui a été mesurée entre ledit vecteur de spectre et une entrée de la seconde partie de la liste de codage. Dans un second mode de réalisation, on mesure la distance pondérée qui sépare le vecteur de spectre des entrées de la seconde partie de la liste de codage. On considère que le vecteur de spectre représente un signal non vocal lorsque la distance pondérée qui a été mesurée entre ledit vecteur de spectre et une entrée de la seconde partie, est inférieure à un seuil prédéterminé.

Abstract: A currency detection method that detects seals on currency in order to prevent printing
and defeat counterfeiting. Seal patterns are detected. The detector has the ability to identify
whether an image contains one or several pre-selected seal patterns. The detection is rotational
and shift invariant -- a suspect mark can be in any orientation and at any location within a tested
image. With the method: a detector is trained off-line with distinctive marks resulting in templates
which are generated and recorded for each of said distinctive; sample images bearing suspect
marks are received by said detector and the location and orientation of said suspect marks are
identified; said templates are rotated and shifted for alignment of said templates to said
suspect marks; said templates and said suspects marks are compared to determine whether there is
a match. A microprocessor is programmed to become familiarized with a plurality of distinctive
marks through training and to analyze and detect seals within tested documents. A memory stores
the marks as templates. A scanner may be used with the system during training and detection to
capture marks and tested images bearing marks for use by the system. The resulting output can be
used by controlled systems, such as copiers and scanners, to suspend further action on documents
where counterfeiting is suspected.

Abstract: An auxiliary contact device protects a power factor correction contactor
from the high current peaks produced on connection of a capacitor battery. It
has means of coupling and fastening (24) to the contactor and means of
engagement (23) with the gear of the contactor (33). When the contactor is
activated, the contacts (30, 14) of the device are closed. Then the contacts of
the contactor are closed and the contacts (14, 30) are subsequently
disconnected. The device has a frame (3) equipped with locking/unlocking
means (4) and, independently, a slide (12) bearing moving contacts (14). It has
means (8, 25, 26) for regulating the time it takes for disconnection of the
contacts (14,30), and means (15, 8, 25, 26) that increase the pressure of the
moving contacts (14) on the fixed contacts (30), the longer the travel of the
contactor. All of this makes possible the application of the device to the whole
line of contactors for which it has been designed by means of a selector (25).

Abstract: To provide an automatic level control unit of a camera
that, even in the case of an area sensor that is not able to
maintain simultaneity in one screen being employed, with a
small size circuit, can prevent flicker of a fluorescent lamp

automatic level control. In an automatic level control of a
camera that controls an electronic shutter speed and a gain
of an amplifier to be a prescribed output level by
calculating the electronic shutter speed and the gain of an
amplifier from the output level, when an object illuminance
becomes low and the electronic shutter speed becomes lower
than 1/(on/off frequency of a light source) second, the
possible electronic shutter speed is restricted to integer
times of 1/(on/off frequency of a light source) second, and
at that time, a more finer level control than a level control
range that the electronic shutter speed can control by
integer times of 1/(on/off frequency of a light source)
second is implemented by controlling the gain of the
amplifier.
