Inventor: PICKLES JOHN DAVID
IPC: G05B19/416
Filed: 1997-04-22
Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: A method is described for grinding a composite workpiece (18) to form a component having concentric (31) and eccentric cylindrical regions (30). The method comprises mounting the workpiece (18) in a computer controlled grinding machine (10) having a grinding wheel (12) the advance and withdrawal of which is controllable by a programme entered into the controlling computer (32), loading a wheelfeed controlling programme into the computer, relatively positioning the grinding wheel and the workpiece to align the wheel with a first selected region of the workpiece, advancing the grinding wheel towards the selected region so as to grind the surface thereof, controlling the wheelfeed so as to maintain grinding contact between the grinding wheel and the workpiece so as either to grind a concentric cylindrical region thereon or an eccentric (offset) cylindrical region thereon as required, information about each selected region of the workpiece being stored in the computer and addressed as appropriate so that the wheelfeed can be cotrolled appropriately depending on whether a selected workpiece region is to be ground as a concentric or an eccentric (offset) cylindrical region. The method allows a workpiece havi ng both concentric and eccentric (offset) cylindrical regions thereon to be ground using a singlegrinding machine under computer control without demounting the workpiece from the machine. The method also envisages introducing small advance and retract movements in the wheelfeed whilst the grinding wheel is engaged in grinding a concentric cylindrical workpiece region so as to introduce into t he ground region an eccentricity which is equal and opposite to any eccentricity which grinding process forces introduce into the ground region, so that the two eccentricities cancel out. A computer controlled grinding machine is described as are programmes for controlling the machine.

Granted: 2002-05-14
Abstract: A configuration for a SONET transport node comprises a pair of transparent mux/demuxs provided at two sites and connected over a high rate span. The T-Muxsprovide continuity of all tribs and maintain a lower bit rate linear or ring system through the higher bit rate span. The lower bit rate linear or ring system operates as if it were directly connected without the higher bit rate midsection. For the forward direction of the traffic, the T-Mux comprises a multi-channel receiver for receiving the trib signals and providing for each trib signal a trib SPE and a trib OH. The trib SPEs are multiplexed into a supercarrier SPE and the trib OHs signals are processed to generate a supercarrier OH. A supercarrier transmitter maps the supercarrier SPE and the supercarrier OH into a supercarrier signal andtransmits same over the high rate span. Reverse operations are effected for the reverse direction of traffic. With this invention, an entire ring system does not have to be upgraded to a higher line rate due to fiber exhaust on a single span. The invention is particularly applicable to OC-48/OC-12/OC-3 linear and ring networks and the high rate span could be an OC-192 line.

Patent CA-2238534-C (CA)
Inventor: LULE TAREK
IPC: H04N3/15
Filed: 1997-09-27
Granted: 2001-10-09
Abstract: The dynamics of the usual image sensors are not sufficient to process the brightness contrasts occurring in many situations.      Previously disclosed methods of increasing the dynamics have considerable disadvantages for practical application. Image sensors according to the new method should combine high dynamics with simple applicability.      To avoid the overexposure and underexposure of pixels which occurs with high image contrasts, each pixel contains a local autoadaptive control. With the help of this control, each pixel automatically ends its integration period as soon as it has integrated enough photoelectric current. An analog signal represents the length of the integration period selected by the pixel. Together with the integrated pixel signal, it represents brightness information with high dynamics and with low requirements regarding the dynamics of the individual signals.      Because of their local adaptivity, the image sensors are suitable for all applications where high brightness contrasts must be processed, such as guiding a motor vehicle in highway traffic, nature films and astronomy.

Title: Improved fluid overfill probe
Inventor: BENTON FRANCES H
IPC: G01F23/292
Filed: 1997-02-06
Granted: 2005-04-19
Abstract: An optically-based overfill detection probe is provided that has a prism with a substantially quadrilateral cross-sectional shape, such that internal reflection angles are less than ninety degrees. The prism is made of a fluoropolymer, preferably Teflon.RTM. PFA, and uses an infrared optical signal. The prism material has a high resistance to chemical solvents, has high signal transmission in the infrared (IR) wavelength range, is less prone to condensation and frost than plastic or glass, and enables the production of prisms at significantly less cost than glass. The substantially quadrilateral cross-sectional shape of the prism, in itself, has the advantage of allowing angles of incidence much less than ninety degrees on internal prism surfaces, thus reducing signal loss from surface irregularities. The probe also includes a two-piece housing structure that compresses an outwardly-extending portion of the prism material to firmly hold the prism in place, and force the material into sealing contact with an inner surface of the housing. The housing has an elongate portion which encompasses the prism, and which extends toward the fluid, preventing any light which escapes the prism from being externally reflected back to the photodetector of the probe.
