Title: Capacitive force gauge
Inventor: YAMAGATA YUTAKA
IPC: G01B7/16
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: A sensor unit (11) comprises an elastic part (12) and a base part (13), united integrally, which include opposed electrodes on their sides to form a capacitor, of which the change in capacitance is utilized to measure the force acting on a probe (14) attached to the end of the elastic part. These electrodes are connected with a resonance circuit of a high-frequency oscillator (22), and a digital frequency counter (23) measures the output signal from the high-frequency oscillator for a predetermined time to measure the change in resonance frequency with the varying force. A capacitive force gauge having such a structure exhibits an extremely high sensitivity to measure minute force independently of changes in temperature or humidity, and the sensitivity will not change with time.  <IMAGE>

Title: Lossless adaptive encoding of finite alphabet data
Inventor: MALVAR HENRIQUE S
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: An encoder reorders quantized wavelet coefficients to cluster large and small wavelet coefficients into separate groups without requiring the use of data-dependent data structures. The coefficients are then adaptively encoded based on a run-length code which continuously modifies a parameter that controls the codewords uses to represent strings of quantized coefficients, seeking to minimize the number of bits spent in the codewords. A matrix of indices contains the coarsest coefficients in the upper left corner, and filling in low high and high low sub bands in larger and larger blocks in an alternating manner, such  that low high sub bands comprise the top of the matrix and the high low sub bands comprise the left side of the matrix. The shortest codewords are assigned to represent a run of the most likely character having length of 2<k>, where k is a parameter. k is adjusted based on successive characters being encountered. k is increased when the character is the same, and decreased when the character is diffierent. A decoder applies the above in reverse order.
Patent AU-3962589-A (AU)
Title: Conversion circuit
Inventor: LINK HERMANN
IPC: H03K5/08
Filed: 1989-07-11
Abstract: An output signal of a magnetoelectrical transducer of a capstan DC motor used in a magnetic tape recorder includes a DC offset voltage. The output signal of the transducer is coupled to a non-inverting input of a first operational amplifier. The output signal is also coupled to an inverting input of a second operational amplifier, operating as a comparator. The non-inverting input of the second operational amplifier is coupled to an output terminal of the first operational amplifier that amplifies an AC voltage component of the transducer output signal. By means of two anti-parallel coupled diodes in a negative feedback branch of the first operational amplifier, a DC amplification of unity is obtained as soon as a first peak of the output signal of the transducer is reached.

Title: Down hole tool for determination of formation properties
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN THOMAS
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 1989-09-22
Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention relates to a down hole tool capable of extraction of valid samples and making pressure measurements useful in calculating formation permeability. The tool incorporates the features of a straddle packer to allow formation fluid specimens to be taken at large flow rates without depressing the pressure below the formation fluid bubble point. When used in combination with a pressure probe the tool is used to obtain meaningful permeability readings in a larger radius area than previously permitted with known designs. Additionally, the apparatus of the present invention allows flow control during the creation of the pressure pulse which enhances extraction of valid samples and the permeability determination. The apparatus is modularly constructed so that in a single descent of the tool, a pressure profile of the zone of interest can be made, a fluid analysis can be made at each station, multiple uncontaminated fluid samples can be withdrawn at pressures above the bubble point, local vertical and horizontal permeability measurements can be made at each station, a packer module can be set at a location dictated by previous measurements and a large scale pressure build up test can be performed. <MATH>

Title: Process and device for the continuous ultrasound washing of textile materials
Inventor: JUAREZ ANTONIO GALLEGO
IPC: D06B13/00
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: The process of the invention is based on the use of ultrasonic energy for cleaning or washing flexible solid materials such as textile materials and is particularly appropriate for continuously cleaning large surface materials, i.e. materials in the form of web, band or sheet or discrete parts which have been extended on conveyor belts or similar transportation elements. The ultrasonic energy is applied to the materials to be washed by means of vibrating flexure plates which are placed in direct contact with the materials to be washed, the latter being immersed in a shallow liquid medium. The cleaning process may be completed with an immediate rinsing and, once the liquid has been removed, the ultrasonic energy may again be applied by contact in order to eliminate an important portion the liquid content in the washed material, thereby producing a predrying effect. The invention also relates to a device capable of implementing the process of said invention. <IMAGE>
