Abstract: The expandable band is used to secure a sealing element within a generally cylindrical structure, such as a pipe or manhole, or other round hole. The expandable band includes a band body having a first band end portion and a second band end portion. A plurality of slots are disposed in the first band end portion, and a locking member extends from the second band end portion. The locking member is an integral element of the second band end portion and includes a tab for extending through the second band end portion and into one of the plurality of slots to lock the expandable band at the desired diameter. The locking member may also include at least one rib or protrusion. When the band is expanded, the tab is disengaged from the slots and slides over the slots, allowing the first and second band end portions to more relative to one another. At the desired diameter, the tab engages one of the slots to lock the band at the desired diameter.        In practice, the sealing member provides a resilient backing against the locking member thus securing the expandable band and providing the desired seal.

Abstract: A system and method (Fig. 3C) for determining the adjustments that must be made to the individual image recorded by a multi-lens camera so that the images will fit together into a panorama. The camera (Fig. 2A) is placed in the center of a structure, the edges of which have at least one row on indicia. Each camera records (Fig. 2B) an image that includes the indicia along each edge that will be seamed with an edge of another image in order to form a panorama. Each edge of the structure (202 A-202C), which is along a seam that will be seamed with an edge of another image, is recorded by two lenses on the camera. The amount of adjustment required to make the indicia in the two images fit together is then determined (Fig. 4). The values of these adjustments are recorded along with an identification of the camera, which recorded along with an identification of the camera, which recorded the images. Subsequent sets of images recorded by this same camera can then be seamed using the same adjustments (Fig. 5).

Title: Wound roll vibration detection system
Inventor: BETTENDORF ROBERT
IPC: B65H18/00
Filed: 2001-12-14
Granted: 2009-04-21
Abstract: An improved system for detecting and controlling vibration of a wound roll (18) includes a programmable controller (50) to which the line speed of a we b, diameter of the wound roll and vibration of the wound roll feedback is provided. The wound roll rotational frequency from the line speed and diamet er feedback is computed and used to filter the vibration feedback so the components of the vibration due solely to the rotation of the wound roll are isolated. These components are provided to a level detector (84, ll6) which decelerates the winding machine when a predetermined vibration level is reached. The rotational frequency may be used to calculate coefficients for a band pass filter (80) which filters vibration feedback. Alternatively, a Fas t Fourier Transform analysis may be performed upon the vibration feedback and the rotational frequency used as a pointer to identify the amplitude of the component due to the rotation of the wound roll.

Abstract: A diagnostic kit for measuring a characteristic of a fluid sample includes a test strip (e.g., a disposable blood glucose test strip) and device (e.g., a hand- held meter) for measuring a property (e.g., an optical or electrochemical property) of the test strip. The device also calculates, based on the measured property of the test strip, a characteristic (e.g., blood glucose concentration or INR) of a fluid sample applied to the test strip. Stored in a memory of the device are test strip calibration codes that represent geometric regions (e.g., polygonal or hexagonal geometric regions) of a multi- dimensional calibration parameter space. The test strip calibration codes and geometric regions are distributed across the multi-dimensional calibration parameter space such that a quantization error of assigning one of test strip calibration codes to the test strip is optimally reduced. Also, a method for optimally associating test strip calibration codes to calibration parameters for use in such a diagnostic kit that includes first optimally distributing a plurality of test strip calibration codes and geometric regions represented thereby across a multi- dimensional calibration parameter space. The distribution is conducted such that a quantization error of assigning one of the test strip calibration codes to the test strip of the diagnostic kit is optimally reduced. The method also includes storing the distributed test strip calibration codes in a memory of the diagnostic kit.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un dispositif mécanique intégré à la fermeture d'un collecteur d'objets pointus. Le dispositif a pour but de permettre le retrait et la mise au rebuts sécuritaires d'une aiguille pour stylo d'un dispositif stylo-seringue. Le stylo-seringue, et l'aiguille pour stylo qui y est fixée, sont insérés dans un passage de l'orifice spécialement conçu de la présente invention. Le stylo-seringue est ensuite pivoté dans le sens antihoraire de son axe longitudinal. L'aiguille pour stylo elle-même est retenue par au moins une dent, qui permet seulement à l'aiguille pour stylo un degré de liberté (déplacement linéaire le long de son axe longitudinal). Ces conditions entraînent le défilement de l'aiguille pour stylo du stylo-seringue, de sorte que lorsque le stylo-seringue est retiré de l'orifice, une pince bloque ensuite l'aiguille pour stylo afin de l'empêcher d'être retirée avec le stylo-seringue, et l'aiguille pour stylo usagée tombe dans le collecteur d'objets pointus sans nécessiter une opération secondaire. Le passage a une inclinaison angulaire dont l'angle est supérieur à 0 degré et inférieur à 90 degrés par rapport à la surface du dessus de la fermeture de sorte qu'aucune des au moins une dent ou pince empêche le transfert vertical de l'aiguille pour stylo dans le collecteur d'objets pointus par gravité.
