Inventor: GINDELE EDWARD B
IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 2001-07-02
Abstract: A digital image processing method for reducing the noise of a color
digital image having pixel values, includes the steps of: identifying one or more
color regions in color space; identifying a pixel of interest in the color digital
image; calculating a color weighting factor for the pixel of interest, the color
weighting factor being a near continuous function of the one or more color
regions; using the color weighting factor and the values of pixels sampled from a
local neighborhood of pixels about the pixel of interest to calculate a noise
reduced pixel value; replacing the original value of the pixel of interest with the
noise reduced pixel value; and repeating the steps for other pixels in the digital
image.

Abstract: A nozzle stage segment (10) includes inner and outer bands (14, 12) spaced
radially one from the other with a nozzle vane therebetween. The outer band
includes a wall (36) defining a portion of the hot gas path (24) flow through
the turbine and an outer cover (38) defining a chamber with the outer wall.
The vane includes a vane extension (56) integrally cast with the nozzle
segment and extending into a vane extension on the cover. The cover
mounts a forward hook (30) for structurally mounting the nozzle segment to a
fixed part of the turbine casing, thereby establishing a structural load path
through the hook, the cover extension and the vane extension upon welding
the extension to one another and the outer wall and cover to one another.
Cavities (48, 50, 54) in the vane open into the chamber to receive a cooling
medium and which cavities and chamber form part of a closed circuit cooling
path through the nozzle stage segment.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling the air/fuel ratio
in an internal combustion engine (12) having a first group
of cylinders and a second group of cylinders. The first
group of cylinders is coupled to a catalyst (20) and at
least one oxygen sensor (18,22), which provides a first
feedback signal. The second group of cylinders is coupled
to a catalyst (24) and a post-catalyst oxygen sensor (26),
which provides a second feedback signal. A controller (202)
uses the first and second feedback signals to calculate a
short-term air/fuel bias value for the second group of
cylinders. The controller (202) also calculates a new long-term
air/fuel bias value corresponding to the current engine
speed and engine. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is
based on a previously-calculated long-term air/fuel bias
value calculated for the same engine load and speed. A
total air/fuel bias value is calculated based on the short-term
air/fuel bias value and the long-term air/fuel bias
value. The new long-term air/fuel bias value is stored for
future calculations.

Abstract: An engine control system of an internal combustion
engine coupled to a NOx trap (72) uses a integrated
difference between NOx exiting the trap (72) and NOx
entering the trap (72) to determine NOx storage capacity.
NOx exiting the trap is measured by a NOx sensor downstream

formed as one-piece moulding of a porous sintered plastics
material which is removably mounted within a cavity 12 in a
body of the cleaner, an inlet 11 for dust laden air
communicating with the interior of the receptacle 13, and an

the opening when the dust receptacle 13 is removed from the
body of the cleaner for emptying. 
     A single handle 24 is rotatable between a first
position in which the closure 15 is locked to the body of the
cleaner and a second position in which the closure 15 is
unlocked from the body of the cleaner and locked to the
receptacle. In the second position the handle forms a support

Abstract: A measurement test instrument voltage management system for an
accessory device has a accessory device interface that provides a voltage to a
memory device in the accessory device. A sensing circuit receives a sensing signal
from the accessory device when it is connected to the interface. The sensing circuit
generates an interrupt signal that is coupled to a controller. The controller initiates
the generation of a clock signal that is coupled to the accessory device through the
interface to retrieve accessory device data stored in the device memory. The
controller determines if the connected accessory device is a valid device capable of
being supported by the measurement test instrument. The controller generates an
enable signal for a valid and supported device that is coupled to a voltage switching
circuit. The voltage switching circuit generates at least a first output voltage that is
coupled to the accessory device via the interface to provide power to the accessory
device.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for mounting semiconductor chips on a substrate (1) with which the
substrate (1) is forwarded in steps in a first direction (x) to a bonding station for the presentation of a next
substrate position (2). In order that curved substrates or substrates otherwise slightly shifted in their
position at right angles to the transport direction can be presented with positional accuracy at the bonding
location, it is suggested that the position of the longditudinal edge (4) of the substrate (1) is measured at
right angles to the transport direction (y) at the level of the bonding station and then to carry out a
corrective movement with the substrate (1). An optical sensor with two light barriers arranged next to
each other is suggested for the sensor (12).

Abstract: The fluid flows from a feed pipe (1) through a larger-profile feed section (2), where its turbulence is reduced and it is homogenized in a calming section (3). A baffle plate (5) has a central circular sharp-edged nozzle (9) with an angle of 0-90 degrees relative to its flow axis. This supplies energy to the flow via toroid-like distributed separation bubbles formed on the edge, so that there is higher speed in the peripheral area than in the axial area of the flow, and the flow is then diverted through a tube behind the nozzle. The flow is at least quasi laminated at nozzle outlet and tube.

Abstract: External control reagents for nucleic acid amplification are provided that verify the absence or presence of specific target sequences, and correct primers and probes. A single-stranded, external control polynucleotide is amplified with primers of the same sequence as target primers. Probes with detectable labels and sequences specific for target and external control polynucleotides allow for detection and measurement. The primers and the detectable probe are adjacent or substantially adjacent when hybridized to the external control polynucleotide. Target and control amplicons may be detected by increased fluorescence induced by polymerase-mediated 5' nuclease cleavage or hybridization of a self-quenching probe complementary to both target and external control polynucleotides. A kit of PCR reagents can be dispensed into vessels for rapid and accurate nucleic acid amplification assay, with real-time or end-point measurements. The amplification control reagents, kits, and methods of the present invention provide positive and negative control tests which can be conducted concurrently with target amplification. Allelic differences at genetic loci can be detected, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP).

IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: In the field of electrotherapy, there are currently known devices and methods, in which either the frequency or the amplitude of a therapeutic current is varied. According to a representation of the amplitude on a logarithmic frequency scale, said methods are designated correspondingly as methods of vertical or horizontal stimulation. Various advantages and disadvantages are associated with both methods. The invention relates to a device for carrying out an electrotherapeutic method, according to which the amplitude (A) and the frequency (f) of the therapeutic current (i<SUB>B</SUB>) are simultaneously varied within a therapeutic frequency band (f<SUB>B</SUB>), which lies in the medium frequency range, in such a way that the method is carried out in discrete frequency steps, either in the range of different frequencies lying just below a stimulation threshold (RS), or periodically between a stimulation that lies above the threshold and a stimulation that lies below said threshold.
