Patent EP-0550244-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MACKINLAY JOCK P
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: Interactive animation is performed in cycles, between which detail control data is communicated so that oscillation of detail can be avoided by maintaining detail. A cycle obtains data (100) indicating the speed with which it renders an image and stores detail control data (102) that depends on the rendering speed. The detail control data indicates a level of detail (104,106,108) at which an image is presented in a following cycle. The level of detail can be used in rendering the image by producing data defining the image from data defining a scene. The data defining the scene can include level defining data indicating a rendering at each of a set of levels. The detail control data also includes maintenance information for use in determining whether to maintain detail. In one approach, the maintenance information indicates whether a level of detail is being maintained and a hold speed; the current rendering speed is compared with the hold speed and with a threshold speed in deciding whether to maintain detail. In another approach, the maintenance information also indicates a level of detail being maintained, so that if the current cycle has the same level of detail and rendering speed, the level and speed are continued. in this approach, the level of detail and rendering speed can be values on a detail/speed scale to permit direct comparison, and decisions about increasing and decreasing detail can be based on the relation between detail and speed, with the objective of providing a level of detail at which the designer's preferred rendering speed can be achieved.

Abstract: 2.1. Because of their chemical and thermal stability and their harmlessness in contact with foods and pharmaceutical materials, membranes based on aromatic polysulphone represent a preferred filtration material. However, since they are hydrophobic, they have had to be made hydrophilic before use. Methods used hitherto for making them hydrophilic were not sufficient to maintain the hydrophilicity of the membranes even after multiple sterilisation. Hydrophilicity permanent under sterilisation conditions is to be imparted to the membranes by the novel process. 2.2 In a secondary treatment step, the membranes based on aromatic sulphones, before or after drying, are passed through an impregnation bath composed of polyvinylpyrrolidone, a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and one or more hydrophobic monomers and persulphate, then heated to 70 to 150 DEG C and cooled again. The membranes thus treated remain spontaneously wettable by water even after sterilisation. 2.3 Permanently hydrophilic membranes based on aromatic polysulphone and process for the production thereof.

Abstract: The invention is a constructional redesign of devices in which dust-containing gases are made to rotate strongly, as a result of which dust particles are thrown to the circumferential wall by centrifugal force and subsequently removed from the system. Dust particles which impact on central flow paths within the housing are reflected by conically shaped side walls and carried along by the flow to radii where they can absorb the centrifugal acceleration which is necessary to throw them out to the circumferential wall of the device. Dust particles which cannot be separated out by centrifugal forces collect in the core of the eddy sink and are conveyed from there by appropriate devices to high-quality precipitation devices (electric filters, gas washers or the like) and finally removed from the system by the said devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical displacement sensor suitable for use in drowned environments where the refractive index of a medium in the optical path may vary, comprises a light source (2) emitting first to fourth (λ1-λ4) wavelengths. The first and second wavelengths are within the infrared region of the spectrum, whereas the third and fourth wavelengths are in the visible region of the spectrum. A zone plate (14) focuses the first and second wavelengths to respective positions substantially at the extremes of movement of a reflective element (10) whose position is to be measured. The zone plate also focuses the third and fourth wavelengths to respective positions. A cold mirror is interposed between the zone plate and the reflective element (10) and is arranged to transmit the first and second wavelengths and to reflect the third and fourth wavelengths. The ratio of the intensities of the light reflected from the cold mirror gives information about the refractive index of the medium in the optical path. This information can be used to correct the measurement of the position of the reflective element which is determined by the ratio of reflected intensities of the first and second wavelengths.

Abstract: Digital tampons carrying strings are surrounded in tubular envelopes while being confined in and advancing with upright cylindrical carriers. The envelopes are formed around the carriers so that their lower ends extend beyond the lower ends of the respective carriers. The lower ends of successive envelopes are closed by providing them with at least partially overlapping panels. Prior to being separated from the respective carriers, the closed ends of the envelopes are deformed by heated profiled tools which provide the outer sides of the closed ends with centrally located recesses surrounded by smooth ring-shaped portions. The strings are automatically curled along the marginal portions at the upper sides of the respective closed ends in response to downward movement of the tampons in their carriers not later than in the course of the deforming step. The tampons are thereupon advanced downwardly so that they strip the tubular envelopes off the respective carriers, and the upper ends of the envelopes are closed or closed and sealed during advancement beyond the stripping station.

Abstract: An M x N mechanical optical switch (20) has opposing input and output optical fiber bundles disposed within offset ferrules. Each ferrule is mounted in three-point kinematically correct V-groove holder (120) allowing the optical fibers in each optical fiber bundle to traverse on a closed curve path during the rotation of the respective ferrules. The closed curve paths of each optical fiber in one of the optical fiber bundles intersect at least one of the closed curve paths of the optical fiber in the opposing optical fiber bundles. The intersection points of two opposing closed curve paths establish the optimum positioning locations for two opposing fibers. Offsetting the axes of rotation of the opposing optical fiber bundles and mounting the bundles in a three-point kinematically correct holder produces a mechanical optical switch having superior cycle-to-cycle repeatability, long term repeatability, and absolute alignment using loosely toleranced components.

Abstract: A cordless telephone instrument is improved in that, even when a portable unit is not in use, it can be determined and notified to the user whether the portable unit is inside or outside of an operational area of the portable unit. In portable unit 2, portable unit timer 28 counts a predetermined first reference time and outputs a time-out signal for each first reference time. Every time the time-out signal is outputted, a registration signal is transmitted from portable unit radio circuit 21 toward a fixed unit. When the registration signal is received by fixed unit radio section 12, fixed unit 1 transmits a response signal toward portable unit 2. Portable unit 2 continuously operates to receive a response signal. However, when no response signal is detected within a counting time of portable unit timer 28, operational area out alarm generation section 27 is activated under the control of portable unit control circuit 24 to perform an operation of notifying that portable unit 2 is outside of the operational area.

Abstract: A method of testing the performance of a combinational logic circuit is described. In contrast to a structural test, a performance test allows the performance of a combinational logic circuit to be tested by determining the accuracy of a set of outputs resulting from a change in input bits to the combinational logic circuit. Thus, it is possible to monitor more closely the timing aspects of a combinational logic circuit.
