Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil et à un procédé servant à traiter un liquide contenant des gros grains de poussière, d'autres matières flottantes (y compris du pétrole), du sable et de la terre et d'autres matières solides. L'appareil sépare et extrait ces matières pour produire une eau épurée présentant une qualité d'eau prédéterminée. La présente invention se rapporte en outre à un appareil et à un procédé capables d'extraire plus efficacement de grandes quantités de matières flottantes et du sable et de la terre d'un liquide contenant de grandes quantités de matières flottantes ainsi que du sable et de la terre, par exemple des eaux de pluie lourdes. Dans un tel appareil, un cylindre rotatif servant à générer de façon forcée et positive un courant tourbillonnaire à l'intérieur d'une cuve de traitement est combiné avec une cuve de séparation rotative et un dépôt de matières flottantes se forme en outre sur le cylindre rotatif lui-même ou sur la paroi de la cuve de séparation rotative. Par conséquent, les matières flottantes et les matières organiques peuvent être extraites de façon hautement efficace pendant qu'elles sont transportées sur un courant de surface tourbillonnaire et le sable et la terre sont déposés sous forme de sédiments sur le fond de la cuve de séparation rotative par le courant tourbillonnaire qui est généré de façon forcée et positive, le sable et la terre pouvant ainsi être extraits de façon hautement efficace.

IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1992-05-05
Abstract: A device for omnidirectional image viewing providing pan-and-tilt orientation, rotation, and magnification within a hemispherical field-of-view that utilizes no moving parts. The imaging device is based on the effect that the image from a fisheye lens (1), which produces a circular image of an entire hemispherical field-of-view, which can be mathematically corrected using high speed electronic circuitry (5, 6, 7, 12 and 13). More specifically, an incoming fisheye image from any image acquisition source (2) is captured in memory (4) of the device, a transformation is performed for the viewing region of interest and viewing direction, and a corrected image is output as a video image signal for viewing, recording, or analysis. As a result, this device can be accomplish the functions of pan, tilt, rotation, and zoom throughout a hemispherical field-of-view without the need for any mechanical mechanisms. The preferred embodiment of the image transformation device can provide corrected images at real-time rates, compatible with standard video equipment. The device can be used for any application where a conventional pan-and-tilt or orientation mechanism might be considered including inspection, monitoring, surveillance, and target acquisition. <IMAGE>

Title: Helmet with air and sound ducts.
Inventor: BERNSTEIN LAWRENCE ALLEN
IPC: A42B3/30
Filed: 1992-09-08
Abstract: A helmet (10) for use with a bicycle, motorcycle or other vehicle. In one embodiment, a duct (40) is located at each side of the helmet (10), and used for the dual functions of drawing air from the interior of the helmet (10) and channeling ambient sounds (66) inside the helmet where the sounds can be heard by a user. Sounds may be enhanced by the use of microphones (106), speakers (118), and other electronic equipment. The side ducts (40) extend to the rear of the helmet and help to reduce drag and turbulence-induced vibration due to air flow. In another embodiment, separate air and sound ducts (80, 82) are located at each side of the helmet (10). Breakaway joints (131) may be used for the helmet (10). The breakaway joints (131) provide increased protection for a user because the joints (131) will break apart when the helmet (10) is subjected to excessive forces, causing the air and sound ducts to break apart and separate from the rest of the helmet.
