Title: Measurement system
Inventor: GILL MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 1992-09-16
Granted: 2002-06-18
Abstract: A fluid measurement system includes two transducers 36, 37 which are located in a duct to provide a measuring path through a measuring tube 40. The transducers are switchable to allow each to be used for both transmission and reception and the speed of fluid passing through the measuring tube 40 will be dependent on the difference in time periods for a signal from the transducers passing with or against the fluid flow. A calibration mechanism employing an auxiliary transducer 56 with its own ultrasonic paths allows accurate measurement of speed of sound values to be determined for the particular fluid flowing and the particular system parameters including transducer delay.

Granted: 2004-11-16
Abstract: A wheel load sensor (10) designed to be installed in a recess in the surface of a roadway and used for the selective detection of the vertical directional component of a pressure emanating from a wheel load; said sensor comprises a piezoelectric measuring element (11), a conductor acting as an inner electrode (12) and a hollow conductor (13') acting as the outer electrode and serving to define a measuring axis, which is necessary for the selective directional detection of the pressure, by clamping wall sections (16) of the piezoelectric measuring element oriented approximately parallel to the plane of the road surface, while the remaining wall sections (16') of the piezoelectric measuring element are arranged in the hollow conductor (13') at a distance from the other walls of this conductor. In the installed position, the measuring axis, which coincides with the clamping axis (P), is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the roadway. Since the wall sections (16') of the piezoelectric measuring element (11) located at a distance from the hollow conductor (13') are oriented approximately transversely to the measuring axis, this design substantially eliminates the transmission of horizontal pressure components from incoming pressure waves to the piezoelement (11).

Granted: 2004-12-14
Abstract: Enhancements to a video anticopying process that causes an abnormally low amplitude video signal to be recorded on an illegal copy. The enhancements in one version introduce into the overscan portion of the television picture, just prior to the horizontal or vertical sync signals but in active video, a negative going waveform that appears to the television receiver or videotape recorder to be a sync signal, thereby causing an early horizontal or vertical retrace. One version provides (in the right overscan portion of the picture), a checker pattern of alternating gray and black areas which causes the TV set on which the illegal copy is played to horizontally retrace earlier than normal in selected lines with a consequential horizontal shift of the picture information on those lines. This substantially degrades picture viewability. In another version a gray pattern at the bottom overscan portion of the picture causes vertical picture instability. In another version selected horizontal sync signals are narrowed, causing irregular vertical retraces.  Also provided is apparatus for removing or attenuating these enhancements from the video signal, to allow copying.
