Title: Vis intraosseuse a filets ameliores
Inventor: LASNER JEFFREY
IPC: A61F2/28
Filed: 1991-11-26
Abstract: Vis intraosseuse (10) comportant un filetage hélicoïdal dont l'épaisseur augmente graduellement de la pointe (14) à la tête (11) de ladite vis. Le filet mince situé au bout de la vis peut être inséré dans un os en provoquant un déchirement ou une fissuration minimal(e) de l'os. Les filets dont l'épaisseur augmente de la pointe à la tête de la vis déplacent de la substance osseuse vers les surfaces supérieures (17) des filets. Ce déplacement de substance osseuse augmente la résistance de la vis vis-à-vis des forces susceptibles de l'arracher de l'os. La partie centrale plus épaisse juste au-dessous de la tête de vis augmente la capacité de la vis à résister à des forces de compression et de traction. La partie centrale (12) a son épaisseur maximum juste sous la tête parce que c'est à ce point de la vis que les charges d'appui sont les plus importantes.

Title: Tamper proof cap and container.
Inventor: PATTERSON MICHAEL C
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1991-12-03
Abstract: A tamper evident cap designed for threading onto a container by conventional bottle capping machinery. The cap includes a first set of spaced-apart lugs for engaging a second set of spaced-apart lugs of a container. The lugs of the cap and the lugs of the container neck are constructed to slide relative to each other upon threading of the cap onto the container while engaging each other to prevent unthreading of the cap from the container. The container neck is especially suited for glass bottles which must be blow molded. The cap includes a first skirt portion and a separable strip, and may include a second skirt portion that remains on the container neck after the separable strip has been removed. The gap between the skirt portions left by removing the separable strip indicates that the cap has been tampered with.

Abstract: In order to assemble stacks of panels from workpiece panels of identical format, the latter are transported individually or resting one upon the other along a conveying path, pushed down from the conveying path at a transfer point, aligned and then destacked to form a stack pattern. After the destacking of a predetermined number of stack patterns, a stack of panels built up thereby is transported onwards. A device for carrying out the method has a parking station (28) arranged to the side of the conveying path (10), to which is connected a stacking station (30) for destacking the panel material held ready in the parking station. The stacking station is adjoined by a stack acceptance station (26). For the transportation of the panel material held ready in the parking station and to be destacked in the stacking station on a lifting table (56), use is made of a transport apparatus (50) with a stack calculation trolley (52), with the aid of which completed stacks (18, 20, 22, 24) of panels can also be passed to the acceptance station. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 1993-04-02
Abstract: A sharpness processing apparatus for enhancing or suppressing tone variations in an original image. A lookup table (12) for converting RGB signals into HSL values which are the three attributes of perceived colors is used to obtain HLS values of pixels in the original image stored in a frame memory (2). The HSL values (14) of the pixels are successively compared (16) with HSL values (11) indicating an effective range of sharpness processing determined with reference to a designated reference color (6), to determine pixels to be subjected to the processing. The processing is effected by applying a parameter (13) to the RGB signals of the pixels subjected to the processing. In this way, the apparatus facilitates designation of a region of sharpness processing. 
Besides, the value of the parameter (13) is variable with differences between the HSL values of the pixels corresponding to the reference color (6) and the HSL values of the pixels (14) determined to be subjected to the processing, whereby the sharpness processing is effected without impairing smoothness of the original image.
