Abstract: A collapsible table includes mainly a feet unit consisting of two horizontal rods, a plurality of feet respectively having an upper end pivotally connected to one of two end of each horizontal rod Each foot has a position limit ring and a slidable sleeve fixed around each foot movably under the position limit ring. A guide rod is provided pivotally between the horizontal rod and each slidable sleeve. Each position limit ring has a projecting member, and each slidable sleeve has an engage member to engage the projecting member. The position limit rings stop the slidable sleeve in spreading the feet unit, and the slidable sleeve moves the guide rod to force the feet swing down or up in case of spreading or collapsing.      Engagement of the projecting members and the engage members stabilizes the feet unit in the spread position.

Abstract: A downhole tool is disclosed that functions as an underreamer, or alternatively, as a stabilizer in an underrearned borehole. An embodiment of the tool includes one or more moveable arms disposed within a body having a flowbore therethrough in fluid communication with the wellbore annulus. The tool alternates between collapsed and expanded positions in response to differential fluid pressure between the flowbore and the wellbore annulus. In one embodiment, the tool moves automatically in response to differential pressure.  In a second embodiment, the tool must be selectively actuated before it is moveable. When the tool expands, the arms are preferably translated axially upwardly, while simultaneously being extended radially outwardly from the body. The expanded tool diameter is adjustable at the surface without changing components. The arms may include borehole engaging pads that comprise cutting structures or wear structures or both, depending upon the function of the tool.

Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein ions from a pulsed ion source 10,11 are dispersed in a drift region 16 so that the ions become separated according to their mass to charge ratios. The ions are then received by an ion guide 1 in which multiple trapping regions are created and wherein the multiple trapping regions are translated along the length of the ion guide 1. The ion guide 1 receives the ions so that all the ions trapped in a particular trapping region have substantially the same or similar mass to charge ratios. The ions are released from the exit of the ion guide 1 and the pusher/puller electrode 14 of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser is arranged to be energised in synchronisation with the ions emerging from the ion guide 1. The trapping regions may be translated along the ion guide 1 with a velocity which becomes progressively slower and the delay time of the pusher/puller electrode 14 may be progressively increased.

Abstract: Dans le système de cette invention, des colis (25) sont placés de façon aléatoire sur une bande transporteuse (27), leurs étiquettes faisant face à un sous-ensemble de deux caméras (12). A mesure que la bande transporteurs (27) se déplace, le sous-ensemble (12) capture en continu des images de la bande au-dessous de l'appareil suspendu. La configuration de la caméra permet de prendre une image haute résolution d'un flux de colis non isolés et non cadrés. Une image numérique des colis dans le champ de vision de la caméra est ensuite transférée vers le système de traitement pour analyse. Le système de traitement identifie les colis individuels (25) dans l'image, les extrait, puis analyse les informations écrites sur les étiquettes de ces colis. Le processus d'analyse utilise des techniques classiques de reconnaissance optique de caractères et de reconnaissance intelligente de caractères pour évaluer les informations écrites sur l'étiquette du colis. Une fois les informations décodées, soit le système accède à un enregistrement de base de données associé au code lisible par machine décodé, soit il crée un nouvel enregistrement. Lorsque l'image d'un mot inconnu est rencontrée, le processus de reconnaissance spécifique au champ est assisté par des informations de lexique, optimisées en fonction des critères spécifiques à l'installation ou à l'utilisateur. Les informations de lexique sont continuellement révisée en fonction de la forme des informations traitées.

Title: Color space transformations for use in identifying objects of interest in biological specimens
Inventor: DOUGLAS JAMES
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2003-09-23
Granted: 2010-03-23
Abstract: Two color transformations, as described herein, facilitate identification of the objects of interest in the biological specimen. One of the color transformations. a Minus Clear Plus One (MC-1) transformation, can be conceptualized as either translating and rotating ayes of a three-dimensional coordinate space that defines an image of the biological specimen or calculating differences between vectors in the three dimensional coordinate space that defines the image of the biological specimen. The other of the color transformations, a Quantitative Chromatic Transformation (QCT).is a colorimetric transformation that produces three new quantitities from the original red, green, and blue pixel values for each color pixel of an image. These three new quantities, X, Y, and Z can each be related to the quantitative amount of absorbing molecules sampled by that pixel. Application of one or both of the color transformations to the image of the biological specimen results in a transformed image, in which objects of interest are more readily identifiable.

Abstract: A nail clipper for pets has a scissors structure provided with cutting surfaces formed by curved blade pieces. The curved blade pieces are created by dividing a spherical or elliptical body into quarter pieces having a hollow interior and formed with curved cutting edges. The blade pieces are hinged to opposite ends of a holding piece and moved by pivoting parts coupled to the ends of operating parts of the scissors structure. By operating the scissors structure, the curved blade pieces open and come together to cut the pet's nail, producing smooth nail edges cut in a curved shape with a single cutting action.
