Abstract: Procédé de dépistage des défauts de filetage d'une bouteille (14) comportant une partie filetée (104) alors que la bouteille se déplace le long d'une chaîne de production (10). Ledit procédé consiste à prendre des images vidéo (100) de la bouteille tandis que celle-ci passe dans les champs des caméras vidéos (22). Chaque image vidéo couvre une zone générale à analyser (108) qui correspond au moins à une partie de la partie filetée de la bouteille. La position de la bouteille (14) dans l'image vidéo est ensuite déterminée sur la base de l'emplacement du rebord supérieur (110) de la bouteille dans l'image vidéo. Une partie de la zone générale à analyser qui recouvre au moins une partie de la partie filetée de la bouteille est partagée en plusieurs régions spécifiques à analyser (120, 122). Les pixels des images vidéo de ces régions spécifiques à analyser sont ensuite examinées pour dépister les défauts de filetage.

Abstract: A recording system that enables single authorized recordings of protected broadcasts be made. Subsequent unauthorized copies are prohibited by encoding a signal that causes the broadcast to be obscured during playback of the unauthorized copies. A broadcast is encoded to indicate that a single copy is authorized. If a copy is authorized, a control signal is input to the recording device wherein the signal is conditioned for recording and prior to placement of the conditioned signal on the recording medium the copy protect signal is encoded. Thus, if a second copy (which is unauthorized) is made, the copy protect signal will cause the recorded second copy to be obscured making the copy of little value to the unauthorized copier.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intraluminal implant (1) manufactured from a seamless thin walled metal tube. The inventive device consists of a large number of expandable rings 92). The adjacent rings (2) are connected to each other by one of two extendible rods (4). Each radially expandable ring (2) can consists of one or several bands (3) which can be enlarged. The adjacent bands (3) are connected to each other by means of rods (5) extending in an axial direction. The stent is highly flexible; as a result, its longitudinal extension remains practically unchanged when it is enlarged.

Abstract: A food processor is known which comprises a base unit (1, 6) having at least two separate mounts (2, 3) for one processing container (4, 5) each. A respective rotary drive shaft is disposed in the area of each mount (2, 3), which drive shaft is adapted to drive a processing tool (9) insertable into the processing container (4, 5) for the processing of food materials. The drive shafts are connected to an electric motor (29) by a transmission mechanism. A switch device (S1) is provided downstream from and in series with a manually actuatable main switch (8; S3) to enable electric current to be released to the motor (29), said switch device being adapted to be turned on or off by movement of a lid (10, 11) which closes or opens the respective processing container (2, 3), such that an actuating element (13, 14) formed on the lid (10, 11) displaces a lever arrangement (15) connected with the switch device (S1) in such fashion as to cause actuation of a switching contact (23). In order to achieve a simple design for such a switch device which serves as a safety device, a common motor switching contact (23) for releasing electric current to the motor (29) is assigned to the lids (10, 11). According to the present invention, this motor switching contact (23) is actuated by a lever arrangement (15) mounted in the housing (6) and comprising two sections (16, 17).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un détecteur d'activité vocale susceptible d'implantation dans un appareil téléphonique mobile. Un avantage dudit détecteur d'activité vocale est sa capacité à décider (79) si un signal en entrée (19) consiste en un bruit (inintéressant à transmettre) ou si ledit signal en entrée comporte des sons vocaux ou des tonalités d'informations (qu'il est souhaitable de transmettre), surtout dans des environnements à taux de bruit élevés. Le détecteur d'activité vocale inclut un certain nombre de composants, en particulier un détecteur auxiliaire d'activité vocale (3). Le détecteur auxiliaire d'activité vocale (3) distingue entre le bruit et la voix en se basant sur la caractéristique du spectre vocal qui change plus rapidement que celui du bruit. Il en résulte que le détecteur auxiliaire (3) confond rarement un signal vocal et un signal de bruit. D'où l'obtention d'une grille de bruit (421) très fiable. Pour cette raison, le détecteur auxiliaire (3) peut aussi servir pour les applications de réduction de bruit. Le détecteur d'activité vocale emploie aussi un analyseur de réseau neuronal (7).

Abstract: Stretch blow molded containers are made from a preform made of a plastic material suitable for stretch blow molding such as, e.g., PET. The preform is heated to a temperature suitable for stretch blow molding and is introduced into a mold. An explosive gas mixture is introduced into the preform with a stretching pressure and the preform is axially stretched with the help of a stretching rod. After stretching, the explosive gas mixture is ignited, the explosion creating a blowing pressure which presses the wall of the preform against the inner wall of the mold so as to impart to the container its definite form. Due to the temperature shock generated by the explosion, the inner surface of the container is simultaneously sterilized.

Abstract: The method involves providing an acoustic user menu for a communications terminal, secured against unintentional falsifications. During a reproduction of a stored speech prompt on a loudspeaker, the output signal of a microphone (1) of the communications terminal is constantly monitored through a speech recognition device (2) for an appearance of key-words which are stored for interrupting the reproduction of the speech prompt. After correct recognition of a key-word, the reproduction of the active speech prompt is interrupted at a joint position stored in the speech prompt, which is defined through a phrasing as part of a natural speech rhythm, whereby the currently active speech prompt is output always up to the next marked joint position.

Abstract: A cam and expandable dowel type device is provided for joining together two members, e.g., furniture components. The cam is rotatably mounted in a first of the members and designed to engage a head portion of the sleeved dowel protruding from the second member. Rotation of the cam displaces the dowel relative to the sleeve, causing the end of the sleeve to expand and thus anchor the sleeved dowel in the second member. Further rotation of the cam causes the two members to be drawn tightly together. The sleeve is designed to be partially collapsible over its length in order to provide an improved tightening action.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to avoid deadlocks when performing non-atomic operations on data in a shared memory accessed by multiple processors, whereby the shared memory sends messages to implement a split lock. Via the messages, the requesting processor is granted exclusive access to the shared memory so that no other processor may access the same data until after the non-atomic operation has completed. The messages used to avoid the deadlock include a split lock request, a lock message, a grant message, a gone idle message and a release idle message. By using the above messages, the system accepts requests from multiple processors for exclusive access to memory, orders all of the requests, and awards exclusive access to the first processor to make a request. The system can include a cache memory, associated with a requesting processor, which sends a lock request to the main memory in response to a split lock request from a requesting processor.
