Patent EP-0392014-A4 (EP)
Title: Steering gear of game machine
IPC: A63F13/24
Filed: 1988-12-21
Abstract: The gear is equipped with a mechanism by which a steering wheel is rotated in accordance with the steering operation of a player and returns automatically to a neutral position. An end cam which receives the resilient force of a compression coil spring sets normally a steering wheel to a neutral position through a guide roller. When the player rotates the steering clockwise, for example, the guide roller rotates clockwise along with a steering shaft, so that the end cam moves in accordance with the rotating angle of the steering wheel in the axial direction of the shaft. When the wheel is released, the end cam returns the steering to the neutral position through the guide roller upon reception of the resilient force of the coil spring without the need of a reversing operation. The steering gear has a detector for the rotating angle and rotating direction of the shaft to operate a car on a display. @(21pp Dwg.No.2/6)@.

Title: Method of constructing a well
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 1988-11-22
Abstract: A method of constructing a well consisting in drilling the rock, casing the latter with a guiding column (1) of pipes, with a guide (2) and with an exploitation column (6) of pipes, and in isolating drilling zones (3) which present complications with profiled pipes (4) of which the diameter is enlarged at the time of installation. The enlargement of the profiled pipes (4) is effected by creating a pressure gradient inside them, with their subsequent expanding by rolling. The drilling of the rock after the casing of the well with the guiding column (1) of pipes and with the guide (2) is effected by means of a drill-bit of one and the same diameter whereas the complicated drilling zones (3) are enlarged to a diameter equal to the external diameter of the expanded profiled pipes (4) which are consecutively mounted in all the complicated drilling zones (3) as they are entered.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé d'exécution pour un programme d'apprentissage, qui est capable d'exécuter un autre programme d'apprentissage à tout moment arbitraire au cours de l'exécution de l'un des programmes d'apprentissage. Pendant l'exécution normale, une instruction enregistrée en mémoire (7) est lue par un module de lecture des données d'apprentissage (12) et transmise à un module d'analyse/exécution (11) par le biais d'un module de transition (9, 10) pour y être interprétée et mise à exécution. Lorsqu'une unité de détermination de l'envoi d'un signal d'interruption (2) envoie des signaux d'interruption correspondant aux signaux d'entrée (1 ∩ i) à un module d'allocation du programme d'apprentissage (4), l'exécution du programme s'interrompt et son adresse est enregistrée dans un registre de mémoire d'adresses (8) par le biais du module de transition (9). Un autre programme d'apprentissage correspondant aux signaux d'entrée (1 ∩ i) est alors lu dans la mémoire (7) par un autre module de lecture des données d'apprentissage (13) pour être interprété et exécuté par le module d'analyse et d'exécution (11). Lorsque l'exécution de ce programme d'apprentissage est terminée, l'adresse se trouvant dans le registre (8) est transmise à un module de lecture (12) et le programme d'apprentissage précédent peut reprendre son cours.

Title: Quick change clamping mechanism
IPC: B23B29/00
Filed: 1990-12-17
Abstract: A clamping assembly for releasably holding a tool holder having a shank includes a tool support member having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis. A locking mechanism is disposed in the axial bore for securing the tool holder to the support member. The locking mechanism includes a lock rod having first and second contact surfaces mounted in the support member. The lock rod moves along the longitudinal axis between a locked position and a release position. A wedge rod is mounted in the support member for reciprocal movement along an axis angularly disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis. The wedge rod has first and second wedge surfaces which incline in parallel fashion from opposite edges of the wedge rod. First and second force transmitting elements are interposed between the wedge surfaces of the wedge body and the contact surfaces of the lock rod. When the lock rod is moved in first direction, the first force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into contact with the first support surface and pushes the lock rod towards a locked position. When the wedge rod is moved in a second direction, the second force transmitting element is moved outward with respect to the transverse axis into engagement with the second contact surface of the lock rod and moves the lock rod towards a release position.

Title: Machine vision surface characterization system
IPC: G01B11/30
Filed: 1991-08-09
Abstract: This invention is a surface inspection system including a light source having a sharp edge between dark and bright and a video camera imaging this edge reflected from the surface. The light intensity of the light source is controlled using a light intensity sensor. An optical system focusses an image of the light source at the video camera with sufficient depth of focus to include the surface to be inspected. The exposure duration is set to prevent blurring if the surface to be inspected is moving. A surface quality computation apparatus computes at least one measure of surface quality, such as gloss, distinctness of reflected image and orange peel of the surface, from the video image signal. This surface quality computation apparatus preferably includes a frame grabber and a general purpose digital computer. Gloss is computed by determination of the maximum and minimum brightness slopes of the video image signal of the edge. Distinctness of reflected image is similarly computed and then corrected for the difference between the maximum brightness and minimum brightness of the video image signal. Orange peel is computed by determination of the periodicity variations of the positions of maximum and minimum brightness slope in the video image signal of the edge.
