Title: Variable angle joint
Inventor: MACINTYRE HUGH MELVILLE GORDON
IPC: F16L27/08
Filed: 1983-02-22
Abstract: A variable angle pipe joint which includes two hollow elements (10, 11) whereof each is provided with a straight, tubular portion (12, 18) which defines a polar axis, and a coupling portion (13, 19) integral with the tubular portion. The coupling portions have cylindrical end portions which define a spigot-like formation and a socket-like formation respectively. The spigot-like and socket-like formations define polar axes set at an angle of 135 DEG  to the polar axes of their respective tubular portions, and are interengageable such that their respective coupling portions are relatively rotatable to determine the relative orientation of the axes of the tubular portions. The pipe joint further includes a locking ring engageable over the socket-like formation to secure the socket-like and spigot-like formations together in sealing relationship.

Title: Latch arrangement
Inventor: CHEVALIER JOHN PHILLIP
IPC: E05B65/20
Filed: 2004-07-06

Abstract: An automative door latch has, in one invention, a child-safety locking switch ( 102 ) using an overcentre spring ( 110 ), for exerting extra spring bias on a lock toggle lever ( 610 ) operating the interior door lock. In another invention, a mechanical cooperation between the two lock toggle levers ( 516 ) operating interior and exterior door locking ensures that manual operation of either handle, when unlocked, to cause the corresponding lever ( 516 ) to open the door or other closure, causes the corresponding pawl release assembly ( 514, 510 ) to move the other pawl release assembly ( 514, 510 ) to its unlocked, pawl-engaging position, if that other pawl release assembly had been at its locked, pawl non-engaging position. In a third invention, a motor drives the latch bolt ( 2 ) for closing the door, through two ( 907, 908 ) segment gears which mesh for only part of the turning movement of a rotary driving and indexing mechanism ( 906 ) which also operates door opening and locking. In a fourth invention, rotary drive sequence control for a rotary driving and indexing mechanism ( 906 ) is provided by a cam guide ( 930 ) and cam frame ( 950 ), the guide having endwalls and a central stop, the cam guide being shaped in the region of the end walls to guide the cam member in a unique direction through a unique loop relative to the cam guide, such that when the cam member is released from the central stop it is moveable to either end wall and then only to the central stop and not directly to the opposite end wall.

Title: Method and apparatus for approximating a contour image of an object in a video signal
Inventor: KIM TAE WOO
IPC: H04N19/20
Filed: 1996-12-23
Granted: 1999-11-10
Abstract: A method for approximating a contour of an object expressed in a digital video signal divides the contour into a multiplicity of primary contour segments and approximates each primary contour segment by a primary line segment, to thereby calculate a set of errors between the primary contour segment and the primary line segment for each primary contour segment. And the method codes and decodes the set of errors, to thereby generate of a set of reconstructed errors and a reconstructed contour segment which are used to determine a reconstruction error. Thereafter, the method generates one or more secondary contour segment on the primary contour segment with each secondary contour segments approximated by a secondary line segment. Subsequently, the method finds an approximation error and approximates said each primary contour segment by using either the reconstructed contour segment or the secondary line segments based on the reconstruction error and the approximation error.
