Abstract: The device comprises a structure (1) supporting a light beam source (2), a beam guide and a camera assembly (3), the light beam source (2) being arranged to direct an outgoing beam of light (I) into the beam guide which projects the outgoing beam (P) onto a target surface to sweep the beam around an endless path (E) on the target surface, scans synchronously around the endless path (E) to receive light returning from the portion of the path (E) illuminated by the outgoing beam (P), and directs the returning light (P) onto a light sensor (12) provided in the camera assembly (3); the beam guide comprising a rotatable wedge prism (5) arranged such that the outgoing beam (2) is transmitted through relatively inclined surfaces (9, 10) of a projecting element of the prism (5) as it is rotated to direct the beam (P) to sweep around the endless path (E) and the light returning from the portion of the path illuminated by the beam (P) is received through relatively inclined surfaces (9, 10) of a receiving element of the prism (5) as it is rotated to direct the returning light (P) onto the light sensor (12). The position of the image formed on the sensor (12) is indicative of the range of the illuminated portion of the target surface and, from a knowledge of the position of the scanning beam, its three-dimensional position can be determined. An image of the sensed topology can thus be built up as the target surface is scanned.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively analyzing digital images of approximately elliptical body organs, and in particular, echocardiographic images. The invention automatically determines the center-point of an elliptical organ and search region for border discrimination by finding the maximum value produced by a series of circular arc filters applied to the image data. The positions of the organ border (10, 11, 12, 13) are then approximated by generating histograms along each of a number of circular segments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) based on the center-point. The approximated borders are then compared on a best-fit basis to a set of paired elliptical arcs used to model the borders. The image may then be displayed with the modeled border superimposed on the image. A flattened interventricular septum and signal loss across the septum are also determined for echocardiographic images. Cross-correlation is used on histograms generated for selected sectors of image data frames taken at different times to detect organ wall motion in each of the different sectors.

Abstract: Conventional devices for the denitration of the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine (4) which operate according to the principle of the selective catalytic reduction provide a reservoir (14), carried along in the vehicle, for, for example, an aqueous urea solution (16). The ammonia forming in the reservoir during heating of the aqueous urea solution is conventionally discharged to the surroundings for the pressure relief of the reservoir. This liberation of the ammonia is disadvantageous since ammonia is toxic and, even in low concentrations, represents odour pollution for people. For this, according to the invention it is proposed to connect to the reservoir a pressure-relief line (18) via which excess ammonia can be fed to the DeNOx catalyst (8) and is joined to the catalytic material. The invention can be installed in principle in any device for denitration of the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lock fitting (10) consists of locking and/or bolt devices, together with a latch (15), a driver (50) mounted in a C-shaped sleeve (30), a rotor (40) and a grip (20) or pair of grips (22) integral therewith. By means of the grip ends, one grip (20) is first inserted through a transverse hole (Q) in the door (T), until the mounting unit composed of the grip sleeve (30) and of the rotor (40) is mounted rotatably therein, whereupon the grip main part (21) is rotated through 180 DEG into its position of rest. A bush (18) guiding the latch (15) fixes the entire system in a fore-end hole (L). The driver is preferably an angle lever (50) which is loaded by a latch spring (16) and which is pivotable in the circumferential region of the sleeve (30) about an axis (S) parallel to the rotor axis (R). The driver has, on the one hand, a partially slotted coupling tongue (52) for the latch end (17, 19) and, on the other hand, a sliding cam (54) which bears non-positively on a bridge (45). As a result of symmetrically designed extensions (19), the latch (15) can be locked in two positions rotated through 180 DEG , so that its outer edge (14) can be offset transversely relative to the longitudinal axis (V) of the latch. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Emballage (10) inoffensif pour l'environnement contenant une ou plusieurs piles d'articles flexibles comprimés (20). Pour des produits tels que des couches absorbantes pour bébés, des serviettes hygiéniques, des couches sous-vêtements pour incontinents, etc., le degré de compression dans le sac d'emballage peut atteindre 50 % ou davantage par rapport à l'épaisseur des articles à l'état non comprimé. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le sac enferme totalement une pile d'articles flexibles comprimés et présente une forme essentiellement rectiligne. Le sac comprend de préférence un dispositif de transport solidaire (71). Les panneaux latéraux (30 et 31) et les panneaux avant et arrière (40, 41) du sac sont soumis à la tension imposée par la pile d'articles flexibles comprimés. Une ligne d'affaiblissement, s'étendant au moins partiellement sur un panneau latéral tendu du sac, sert de dispositif d'ouverture. La ligne d'affaiblissement est recouverte d'une couche de matière de renforcement, comprenant de préférence de l'alcool polyvinylique, afin d'empêcher un déchirement prématuré du dispositif d'ouverture (17). Ce dernier permet le relâchement au moins partiel des forces de compression s'exerçant sur les articles flexibles contenus dans le sac lorsque l'utilisateur actionne le dispositif d'ouverture. La séparation partielle ou la complète élimination d'une partie du panneau latéral tendu (17) du sac permet à la partie coïncidente de la pile d'articles comprimés de faire saillie en éventail à travers l'ouverture ainsi créée, afin de permettre de sortir un ou plusieurs articles à la fois. On peut également utiliser de l'alcool polyvinylique du type utilisé pour renforcer le dispositif d'ouverture, comme agent collant pour assembler le sac et rendre encore plus résistant le dispositif de transport.
