Patent EP-0113691-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1984-01-04
Granted: 1990-07-18
Abstract: A method of taking measurements of an article during manufacture, or of the finished product, without physically contacting the article wherein a series of scans of the article is made by means of an electronic video camera to produce a video signal which is displayed in a visual display unit (VDU) whilst the article which at the commencement of the process has been precisely located relative a pair of orthogonal datum cordinates (corresponding to "X" and "Z" directions of measurement) in a prescribed plane is advanced in prescribed increments and at corresponding intervals along one of said cordinates (i.e. in the "Z" direction) in the said plane, the article being illuminated along a narrow strip oriented along or parallel to the other said cordinate (i.e. in the "X" direction) from a light source which is angularly displaced from the camera within a plane perpendicular to the first said plane which is parallel to the said "Z" direction. 
<??>The light source which is preferably a laser provides a thin fan-shaped beam. Any areas of the article obstructed from the beam by overhanging portions of the article are illuminated from the same beam by means of reflectors placed at the sides of the articles within the beam. If the same or other areas are likewise shielded from the camera, additional reflectors are placed alongside the article, but within the field of view of the camera, so as to reflect images of these areas into the camera. 
<??>A counter which totalizes the incremental displacements of the article in the "Z direction and which provides a display of the running count during each interval is arranged in a prescribed location within the field of view of the camera. The counter, which is zeroed at the commencement of the process, appears in the video display throughout the process as an indication of displacement of the article in the "Z" direction. 
<??>The video signal respecting the camera scan during each interval is displayed on the VDU alongside a display of a video recording of the corresponding scan of a master representation made under precisely identical conditions, and the amplitudes of the two signals (corresponding to "Y" direction of measurement) relative to common positions along their respective base lines corresponding to "X" directions of measurement) are then accurately compared to indicate the dimensional variations of the article from the master representation. 
<??>A manual tracking means for use with the visual display unit is disclosed by means of which the displays respectively corresponding to the article and the master representation (each of which is seen as a line tracking over the screen of the VDU, both in the same direction) are tracked, the displacements in the "X" and "Y" direction being automatically measured and digitised, and the "Y" displacements being aautomatically compensated to produce true "Y" displacements in the plane perpendicular to the said prescribed plane.

Abstract: A fiber-optic transducer apparatus, and a related method of manufacturing it, for particular use in medical applications such as invasive blood pressure and body temperature measurement. The apparatus includes a catheter comprised of a sheath and an enclosed first set of optical fibers for transmitting a light beam to and from the remote end of the catheter, where a transducer modulates it in accordance with the variable to be measured, e.g., blood pressure. A photosensor located at the near end of the catheter measures the modulated intensity of the returned beam, to produce a corresponding measurement signal. The catheter is further comprised of a second set of optical fibers located within the sheath, for transmitting a reference light beam to and from the remote end of the catheter. A second photosensor measures the intensity of the returned reference light beam, to produce a correction signal indicative of variations in transmittance caused by bending of the catheter. It is presumed that the effects of such bending are the same for the second set of optical fibers as for the first set, so the apparatus adjusts the measurement signal in accordance with the correction signal, to produce an adjusted measurement signal that is substantially insensitive to the effects of such bending.

Granted: 1988-06-01
Abstract: Amélioration sensible des rendements de colonnes de distillation tout en conservant des vitesses de rebouillement élevées au travers de la section d'extraction de l'argon de la colonne à basse pression. Ces avantages se traduisent par une demande en énergie plus faible pour séparer l'air tout en obtenant une pureté d'oxygène moyenne à élevée. Dans un agencement de colonnes à pression triple, comme l'illustre la figure 2, le rendement de la colonne à pression moyenne (33) est augmenté par rebouillement à deux ou plusieurs endroits (13, 25) par échange de chaleur latente avec les deux colonnes, à savoir la colonne de haute pression (2) et la colonne de basse pression (26). La vapeur de la colonne de basse pression qui réchauffe la colonne de pression moyenne est prise au-dessus d'au moins une partie de l'extracteur d'argon (12) pour maintenir une vitesse de rebouillement élevée au travers de l'extracteur.

Granted: 1992-05-06
Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting when a collision occurs between two or more binary data signal packets at a single binary data signal receiver. Whenever a packet is transmitted, a large signal impulse is substituted for the initial bit of the packet. The amplitude of the impulse is such that it is significantly greater than the highest binary signal level transmitted. The receiver recognizes the impulse not as a data bit but as an indication of the beginning of a packet. Every packet has a known duration (or packet period) and is separated from the next packet by at least a known gap period. If two impulses are received within a period less than or equal to the sum of the packet and gap periods, a collision has occurred and a packet collision signal is generated.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP85/00418 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 24, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 24, 1986 PCT Filed Aug. 16, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO86/01467 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 13, 1986.This actuation of a differential lock consists essentially of the locking differential (10) and the coupling (11) connected thereto, which via an electromagnetic actuating means (12) connects that part of the locking differential (10) driven by the universal shaft when and as long as a predeterminable value of the steering angle is attained or exceeded. The sole signal generator used for this purpose may be, as required, realized as a contact built immediately into the switching circuit of the electromagnetic actuating means (2), or an inductive switch or potentiometer, respectively, in the area of the angle-dependent steering elements, and held fast in the axle housing (2), protected from damage. The switching means (7) is capable of being actuated either via further switches (17) and (30) manually by the driver, or may be combined with the engagement lever for the supplementary drive on steering axle (1) so that the locking differential (10) can only be actuated under appropriate driving conditions. The frequency of actuation of the locking differential (10) is thus limited to the essential cases of necessity, and a simpler and more robust engagement technique is achieved.

Abstract: A single or multi-rows cylinder bearing which consists of one-piece rings and can be entirely fitted via an insertion groove. To ensure that the cylinder rolls (3) cannot fall back into the insertion groove, provision is made for a retaining ring (42) which is itself fully closed, and in the case of sealed bearings can also act as a sealing ring. The retaining or sealing ring in this case lies against one of the edges (13) and is fixed to this in such a way that it or the sealing ring or a spacer rests against the cylinder end-surface which is exposed in the insertion groove (10). The retaining or sealing rings are, in accordance with a process which is also a subject of the invention, applied against one of the edges (13) of the bearing rings (1, 2) in such a way that they are driven inwards in an axial direction, avoiding axial backlash, by pushing the opposite side of the bearing as far as the cylinder rolls which lie firmly against the edges. The retaining ring and spacer can be made of metal or soft plastic, and the sealing ring from hard or reinforced plastic.
