Abstract: A firearm sight can detect engagement of a firing pin with a cartridge, and can respond to this event by saving an image which shows a target and reticle at a point in time just prior to the detected event. An electronic reticle can be downloaded into the sight. The effective position of the reticle within the sight can be adjusted electronically, and a zoom factor of the sight can be adjusted electronically. The sight can sense approximately transverse movement thereof, and can provide a user with an indication of the amount of transverse movement. With the use of an additional device, the sight can automatically align its reticle to the bore of a firearm on which the sight is mounted.

Abstract: In a fuel cell system 20 mounted on a fuel cell vehicle of the invention, water separated by a gas-liquid separator 38 included in a hydrogen supply system and by a gas-liquid separator 48 included in an air supply discharge system 40 is temporarily accumulated in buffer tanks 62a through 62c, which are set inside a front fender or inside a front bumper of the vehicle. The accumulated water is released from water outlets 64b and 64c located forward and backward a front wheel of the vehicle having relatively little potential effects of vehicle wind or air flow caused by motion of the vehicle. For the purpose of reducing the potential effects of the vehicle wind on the released water, the fuel cell vehicle may have an air flow path that makes the released water flown obliquely backward the vehicle by the air flow or form an air curtain of exhaust gas or the air ahead of the released water. This arrangement effectively restricts the released water from being scattered by and swirled on the vehicle wind and thereby prevents potential troubles such that the released water is scattered on other vehicles running on the side and behind.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un contrefort pour agrafeuse circulaire utilisable sans adhésif de fixation contrefort-agrafeuse. Après l'opération de découpe et d'agrafage, l'enclume de l'agrafeuse peut être tirée à travers le matériau de contrefort sans dégât pour le contrefort, grâce aux éléments de désolidarisation intégrés au contrefort. A cet effet, le contrefort présente une ouverture adaptable dans sa région centrale, de diamètre inférieur au diamètre externe de l'enclume. Les éléments de désolidarisation peuvent être prévus indépendamment de la constitution inélastique ou élastique des matériaux du contrefort. En règle générale, le contrefort est de forme circulaire, ayant un diamètre externe coïncidant avec celui de la surface de compression d'agrafe du corps d'agrafeuse et celui de la surface de compression d'enclume sur l'agrafeuse circulaire. Avant l'utilisation, le contrefort est fixé à l'agrafeuse au moyen d'éléments pouvant être rompus qui s'étendent depuis les zones périphériques du périmètre du contrefort.

IPC: G01D4/00
Filed: 2005-08-25
Granted: 2013-10-15
Abstract: Apparatus and methodology (entire Fig. 4) ensure reliable electricity meter data recordation and maintenance during ongoing operation and any power failure. During normal operations, data committed to memory is immediately read to determine write success. Upon detection of any power failure while monitoring operating power, a reset procedure is entered that ensures provision of reliable initialization data upon restart of the metering operation. Power failure detection may be based on decreases in a voltage associated with the meter metrology board or a storage capacitor, while clearance for normal mode (i.e., after a power failure, Figure 4, step 98) depends on both such voltages passing testing for minimum values. Such combined approach provides a hysteresis effect, for less sensitivity to noise and some adverse AC line conditions. So-called dynamic data (energy flow and amount) is collected for storage by monitoring an interface between the metrology components of the meter and a meter register.

Abstract: A composite netting is used for wrapping bales with a baling machine. The composite netting includes a continuous netting component, and a discontinuous, breathable material component. The breathable material component is partially attached to the netting material. In some embodiments, the breathable material is attached only along the leading edge of each breathable material panel. As a result of the attaching technique the stretching properties of the netting are not transferred to the breathable material. Thus, each component of the netting retains its individual properties. Each bale is initially wrapped with about one wrapping of netting material, followed by about one wrapping of breathable material and a partially attached net that is continuous from the first section. After this, one or more additional netting layers may be applied if desired.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for logging an earth formation and acquiring subsurface information wherein a logging tool is conveyed in a borehole to obtain parameters of interest. The parameters of interest obtained may be density, acoustic, magnetic or electrical values as known in the art. As necessary, azimuths associated with the measurements are obtained and corrections applied. The corrected data may be filtered and/or smoothed. The parameters of interest associated with azimuthal sectors are depth matched, resolution matched and filtered, and the acquisition effects removed. The data are denoised using a multi-resolution wavelet transform. The data acquired with separate transducers are resolution matched to obtain a resolution matched data series. Subsequently the resolution matched data may be further denoised using a multi-resolution wavelet transform.
