Abstract: The system has the purpose to lessen the magnetic field
disturbance, almost static or slowly unsteady (frequency
band <100 Hz) that can interest NMR Tomographs placed near
moving metal masses, electric cables, either DC or Ac, etc.
and could therefore compromise their proper operation; the
operation principle of the systems is the following: in
presence of a Bnoise disturbance field read by a magnetic
field probe, placed at an appropriate distance from the
magnet, the system automatically generates, according to a
transfer function (Bnoise⇒Icorr), an Icorr current (t)
which circulates into the correction coils, mounted
according to Helmoutz configuration, so as to cancel the
disturbances on the Tomograph (Btom).

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor scale comprising a conveyor belt (1) driven by a motor (3) and running via a deflection roller (4), which is loaded with bulk goods (7) from a dosing device (9) through a feeding hopper (6). In addition to a first weighing device (11), which determines the gross load on the loaded conveyor belt (1), the conveyor scale has a second weighing device (15), which determines the tare load on the empty, but possibly dirtied and inhomogeneous, conveyor belt (1). The weighing sections have the lengths SB (11) and ST (15) and are separated by a distance <u>L</u> between homologous points. The weighing results are converted into digital form in evaluation units (22, 21) and transmitted to a computer (25), which calculates the net load on the conveyor belt (1). Said computer (25), by means of incremental sensors (17, 23) and corresponding meters (18, 24), also monitors the belt for slippage and, if necessary, controls the dosing device (9).

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et procédés d'imagerie multispectrale de tissus cutanés permettant la caractérisation automatique de l'état de la région cutanée (2) à examiner sur la base de l'imagerie numérique directe de la région à examiner ou de la numérisation de diapositives couleur de la région cutanée considérée éclairée par une lumière filtrée appropriée. De préférence, une image numérique d'une bande spectrale basse fréquence est automatiquement segmentée et ce masque segmenté est utilisé pour segmenter les autres images par un processeur numérique (12c). Les paramètres relatifs à la texture, l'asymétrie, l'aspect moucheté et aux irrégularités périphériques sont également évalués automatiquement. La région à examiner est automatiquement caractérisée par le processeur numérique sur la base de ces paramètres. La région à examiner peut comporter une lésion cutanée.

Abstract: A handle (35) mounted generally horizontally on a fork lift truck for controlling forward and reverse speed of movement of the truck and raising and lowering forks is carried by a control device (100). The control device includes a shaft (150) with a centrally positioned spherical section (160) contained in a socket (172, 176) in a support member (170). The shaft is therefore free to rotate about the center (177) of the sphere. A ramp cam (200) is mounted on the support member surrounding the shaft. A slider (180) mounted on the shaft is pressed against the cam by action of a spring (190). This arrangement assures that the shaft and control handle remain centered until acted upon by an operator of the truck. Two linear potentiometers (270, 290) provide electrical output signals representing the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) positions of the end of the shaft opposite the control handle. The cam is provided with four distinct compound surfaces (201-204). For vertical movement of the handle, the slopes of the two lower surfaces (202, 203) are greater than the slopes of the two upper surfaces (201, 204). The slopes of each surface are also different in the forward and reverse direction. This arrangement provides the illusion that the same force is required to move the handle in any direction. A detent (215) in the center of the cam requires a slightly greater force to move the handle from the center position.

Abstract: A peak detecting section 121 detects the
maximum values (peaks) of frequency distributions, at
intervals of unit times, from the wavelet intensity
signal output from an intensity computing section 113.
More specifically, giving attention to frequency
distributions of the wavelet intensity signal as the
transform result obtained by a signal converting section
110 at predetermined time intervals, the peak detecting
section 121 detects the peaks (maximum values) of the
frequency intensity distributions at intervals of unit
times (predetermined time intervals). 
     Changes in various frequency features over
time which are contained in the time-series signal
obtained by a wavelet transform of the time-series
signal can be quantitatively grasped more accurately.

Abstract: The noise in a frequency demodulated audio signal is detected on basis of the characteristics
of the stereo-multiplex signal to obtain a very reliable information that can be
used for the sliding stereo-mono transition, noise blanking and a de-noising of the stereo-difference
signal. A noise signal (ν d,l (t)-ν d,u (t) or ν d.u (t)-ν d.l (t)) is calculated by subtracting
one sideband of the stereo-difference signal from the other sideband of the stereo-difference
signal and as a direct measure for the quality of the signal generating the
variance (σ 2   νd ) of the noise signal by squaring and thereafter averaging the noise
