Title: Method and apparatus for measuring the crepe of a moving sheet
Inventor: SHAKESPEARE JOHN F
IPC: G01N33/34
Filed: 2006-08-22
Abstract: [00129] An image-based measurement technique that directly measures the crepe pattern on a moving sheet employs a suitable arrangement of illumination, optical elements, and an imaging device to obtain digital images of the sheet surface. The image resolution is sufficient to represent tissue crepe folds at the scale of the crepe. A spectral analysis of some or of all the images reveals the crepe folding pitch. Further analysis of the image optionally reveals other crepe structural parameters, such as the distribution of crepe fold orientation angles and distribution of linear fold lengths. Corrective actions can be implemented in response to changes in the crepe structure. The pitch of creping is the primary parameter for describing the crepe pattern; in addition, analyzing the images with a gradient operator can yield information regarding the orientation of the crepe folds and distribution of angles of the crepe furrows on the hood side or equivalently of the crepe seams on the cylinder side.

Title: Exercise incentive
Inventor: PENNER FRANKLIN R
IPC: G16H20/30
Filed: 2008-02-07
Abstract: In the manufacture of exercise machines, there are many innovative machines that allow persons to exercise themselves in an endeavor to stay in good health and physical condition. Exercise facilities and private homes can be visited where these machines are put to good use. However, one thing lacking in all systems seen as yet, is a good incentive to exercise on a regular daily basis. Many of these machines are found in a room that is poorly lit where regular exercise can become boring There exist many types of walking, rowing, cycling and other types of exercise machines. This invention embodies the process and apparatuses necessary and capable of placing an incentive within view of the persons engaged in exercising themselves. Firstly, someone actually rowing a canoe, kayak, rubber raft, or boat on a river tour;  cycling on a cycle path, or hiking on a hiking path would engage in taking a recording of the visual, sound and other data occurring and available while the activity is actually being done.  This recording would be taken in a locality that would be of general or particular interest to anyone engaged in exercising themselves later in an enclosed exercise facility or private home. For example; we will use an actual hike taken on a hiking path found in a popular National Park noted for its scenic hiking trails. The visual, sound and other data experienced by the person taking the hike would be recorded on an electronic memory media. The recording would include visual images, sounds, time spent, distance traveled and etc. in such a way that all of those aspects of the recording would be relevant to the hike taken. The recording would then be transferred to the electronic memory media of a visual and sound display apparatus attached to or in front of a walkway or treadmill style exercise machine in such a way that the person exercising would seem actually to be taking the hike. That person would be able to enjoy the vista, sounds and etc.  that the original hiker experienced. In essence, a virtual exercise experience. The distance and time aspects of the recording could also be; (But not necessarily so.) incorporated into the exercise machine in such a way that the walking track of the exercise machine would cause the exercise activity to become harder or easier to traverse according to the original terrain that the real hiker experienced. The same principle would be applied to exercise cycles or rowing machines with the applicable recorded activity being transferred into the display apparatus of each type of exercise machine in use. A wide range of hikes, cycle tours, or river water tours could be recorded and be available to anyone interested. In this way, daily exercise would be interesting and we would continue with our exercise programs in a more diligent manner.

Title: Method and apparatus to facilitate automatic modification of near term automated movement options as regards a movable barrier
Inventor: NASSIMI SHARY
IPC: E05F15/20
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: A movable barrier operator (303) that is configured and arranged to selectively control movement of a barrier (302), upon detecting (101) motion of an object, can automatically modify (102) near term automated movement options for that barrier. As but one example in this regard, this can comprise automatically temporarily modifying planned movement of the barrier as was instigated by reception of a remote control command from a wireless remote control transmitter. By one approach, this can further comprise taking such action as function of the relative distance of the object from a given location. This can provide the basis, for example, of automatically modifying near term automated movement options of the barrier when the object is relatively far from the given location and not modifying such options when the object is relatively close to the given location.
