Patent CA-2329981-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for automatic adjustment of thread tension
Inventor: TURNER VERNON STEPHEN
IPC: D05B47/04
Filed: 1999-05-06
Abstract: A computerized stitching apparatus that automatically controls thread tensio n is disclosed. In one embodiment, at least two factors are used to determine the desired thread consumption for the next stitch. A thread length encoder (23) is used to determine the amount of thread actually consumed for a particular stitch. The operator must enter a desired thread length ratio or an equivalent factor related to desired thread length used for a particular stitch into the operator input device (24). Another factor such as speed, stitch length, fabric thickness, or stitch angle change is used with at leas t the operator's input to determine the desired thread consumption. The tensio n of the thread is adjusted by a stitch control system (25) which will affect the actual thread consumed for the particular stitch.

Title: Method and apparatus for merging of nmr echo trains in the time domain
Inventor: PRAMMER MANFRED G
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A new method and system to obtain enhanced-resolution NMR data by merging, in the time domain, different NMR pulse echo trains into a single echo train. The input echo trains may be acquired with different inter-echo spacing Te, wait time Tw, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) parameters that are optimized to correspond to both fast and slow portions of the T2 spectrum. The merged echo trains are inverted into complete T2 spectra in a single step. In a preferred embodiment the merging process does not require a priori information about T1, and the merged echo trains are optimized in with respect to T2 resolution. The method is preferably practiced with the latest generation of multi-volume NMR  logging tools, that allow simultaneous recordation of NMR data with different inter-echo spacing Te, wait time Tw, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) parameters.
