Patent AU-2001269033-B2 (AU)
Title: Pallet container
Inventor: PRZYTULLA DIETMAR
IPC: B65D90/20
Filed: 2001-05-23
Granted: 2005-06-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a palette container (10) comprising a thin-walled rigid inner container (12) made of thermoplastic synthetic material for storing and transporting liquid or flowable filling products. The inventive palette container also comprises a grid tube frame (14) which, as a support casing, closely surrounds the plastic container (12), and comprises a base palette (16) on which the plastic container (12) rests and to which the support casing is firmly attached. The grid tube frame (14) consists of vertical and horizontal tubular rods (30, 32) that are welded to one another at points of intersection (36). Several prior art palette containers exhibit substantial shortcomings (grid tube fatigue fracture) when subjected to prolonged dynamic vibrational stress that occurs, for example, during persistent stresses caused by the transport on roads of poor quality. The aim of the invention is to achieve an adapted optimal vibrational elasticity in order to improve the stability of the grid frame while providing a sufficient degree of flexural strength. To this end, the tubular rods (30, 32) have a closed profile (18) with a particular trapezoidal cross-section.

Title: Distortion-free image contrast enhancement
Inventor: JAMES BRIAN G
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2001-07-05
Granted: 2006-07-27
Abstract: An image, such as an X-ray, is enhanced through local enhancement of the contrast of the image's point intensities. A first, low frequency upper curve is fitted to the local maximums and a second independent, low frequency lower curve is fit to the local minimums, forming a fairway with the raw image data residing therebetween. A local range, between the fairway local maximum intensity and fairway local minimum intensity, is extracted for each point. Each point is scaled by the ratio between the fairway's local range and the dynamic range for the image so as to maximize its variation in intensity between it and its neighboring points. Preferably an iterative moving average technique is used to establish the fairway curves. In a preferred embodiment, outlier points scaled outside the fairway are temporarily stored at higher precision than the dynamic range. A histogram of the fairway corrected data is formed, having a range greater than the dynamic range and encompassing substantially all the outlier points. Only the most deviant of the outliers are trimmed in this histogram correction and the resulting range limits for the entire image are scaled to the dynamic range.</PTEXT>

Title: Method and apparatus for adaptively controlling signals
Inventor: MCCALLISTER RONALD D
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 2007-04-25
Granted: 2011-12-01
Abstract: A signal processing system according to various aspects of the present invention includes an excursion signal generator, a scaling system and a filter system. The excursion signal generator identifies a peak portion of a signal that exceeds a threshold and generates a corresponding excursion signal. The scaling system applies a real scale factor to contiguous sets of excursion samples in order to optimize peak-reduction performance. The filter system filters the excursion signal to remove unwanted frequency components from the excursion signal. The filtered excursion signal may then be subtracted from a delayed version of the original signal to reduce the peak. The signal processing system may also control power consumption by adjusting the threshold. The signal processing system may additionally adjust the scale of the excursion signal and/or individual channel signals, such as to meet constraints on channel noise and output spectrum, or to optimize peak reduction. The magnitude threshold, excursion signal and/or individual channel signals may also be adaptively adjusted based on, for example, a channel signal quality such as a noise level specification.
