Abstract: The invention relates to a binocular telescope having cardanically journalled inverting systems mounted on a symmetrical double holder. This double holder is connected via a spring joint to a stationary non-movable base frame which is mounted at the pivot point of both inverting systems. A passive movement damping device provides for a field image stabilization in the telescope. The monolithic spring joint has a spring arrangement perpendicular to the optical axis with the springs being thickened in the axial direction toward the edge to improve supporting capability. Shock protection is provided in the region of the support pivot point and contains an unlatchable device. The passive damping device is configured as an eddy current device and includes a magnetic system about a stationary eddy current coil which has a nonlinear effect for the purpose of adjusting axially the damping constants. Isolated coils are disposed on the eddy current plate and can be short-circuited by means of a switch so that a specific, time-limited change of the damping constant is possible.

Abstract: A method for preparing acrylic precursors with improved characteristics suitable for transformation into carbon fibres of superior mechanical characteristics comprises wet-spinning an acrylic polymer dissolved in dimethylacetamide followed by coagulation in a solvent-non solvent binary mixture bath of rigorously controlled composition and temperature, and a series of controlled-condition stretching operations with interposed washing stages, followed by yarn drying before its final collection. 
     The method is characterised essentially by its coagulation stage, which is conducted under such rigorously controlled bath temperature and composition conditions as to obtain at the end of the process an acrylic yarn which has a perfectly compact structure practically free of flaws (voids), a perfectly circular cross-section and mechanical characteristics which are distinctly better than those of acrylic yarns of identical composition obtained by spinning processes of the known art. 
     The specific destination of the acrylic yarn is the production of high-performance carbon fibres.

Abstract: A system for inflating e.g. a pair of lumbar support bags of a vehicle seat comprises two pumps (4) each connected to a respective bag and controlled by a common electronic control system (7). The control system causes each bag to be inflated over a period of between 1 and 10 minutes, the inflation of one bag taking place whilst the other bag is deflated and vice versa to produce alternating pressure zones in the lumbar region. Inflation of each bag is produced by a multiplicity of individual spaced apart energizations of the associated pump. The duration and spacing of the energizations is variable to produce the desired complete inflation of a bag within the required period. In the preferred embodiment the duration of each energization is preset during manufacture of the system but the spacing of the energizations is under the control of the user of the seat to vary the duration of the inflate/deflate cycle.

Abstract: Direct electrostatic printing (DEP) is optimized by presenting well charged toner (34) to a charged toner conveyor (18) which conveys the toner to an apertured printhead structure (14) for propulsion therethrough. The charged toner conveyor comprises a plurality of electrodes (24, 26, 28, 30) wherein the electrode density is relatively large for enabling a high toner delivery rate without risk of air breakdown. The printhead structure is constructed for minimization of aperture clogging. To this end the thickness of the printhead structure is about 0.025 mm and the aperture diameter (i.e. 0.15 mm) is large compared to the printhead thickness.

Title: Three-dimensional display of tomographic data
Inventor: CRAWFORD CARL ROSS
IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 1989-08-03
Abstract: Multiple desired objects or objects-of-interest within a three-dimensional tomographic data set which occupy the same portion of the image histogram with other unwanted objects are separated with reduced reliance on user interaction by applying connectivity to the unwanted objects and setting the voxels to a new value which removes them from the portion of the histogram. Unwanted objects can be identified by examination of the original two-dimensional slices or after examination of a three-dimensional image to excise objects which are not of interest. Unwanted objects can be modified so that they no longer occupy the same portion of the histogram or are flagged. Next, connectivity is applied to the desired object using a criterion different from the one used on the unwanted objects.

Abstract: A method for insuring data consistency between a plurality of individual processor cache memories and the main memory in a multi-processor cache memories and the main memory in a multi-processor computer system is provided which is capable of (1) detecting when one of a set of predefined data inconsistency states occurs as a data transaction request is being processed, and (2) correcting the data inconsistency states so that the operation may be executed in a correct and consistent manner. I particular, the method is adapted to address two kinds of data inconsistency states: (1) A request for a operation from a system unit to main memory when the location to be written to is present in the cache of some processor unit-in such a case, data in the cache is "state" and the data inconsistency is avoided by preventing the associated processor from using the "stale" data; and 
(2) when a read operation is requested of main memory by a system unit and the location to be read may be written or has already been written in the cache of some processor - in this case, the data in main memory is "stale" and the data inconsistency is avoided by insuring that the data returned to the requesting unit is the updated data in the cache. The presence of one of the above-described data inconsistency states is detected in a SCU-based multi-processing system by providing the SCU with means for maintaining a copy of the cache directories for each of the processor caches. The SCU continually compares address data accompanying memory access requests with what is stored in the SCU cache directories in order to determine the presence of predefined conditions indicative of data inconsistencies, and subsequently executes corresponding predefined fix-up sequences.

Abstract: The invention relates to the improvement of a method and a device for measuring radiation absorption by a medium in order to achieve and maintain a high measurement accuracy with low drift over a long service period, without the need to replace the components used at fairly short intervals. To achieve the object, it is proposed, according to the method, that radiation flashes of extremely short duration are transmitted through the medium and the radiation pulses received are expanded in time before being further processed. The device is designed in such a way that a radiation source has a flash (11, 12) and that an amplifier (15, 16) which expands the flash pulses received in time is connected to the output of a detector (13, 14). <IMAGE>
