Patent EP-0747008-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BARRY DONALD
IPC: A61B6/06
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: Radiological apparatus, such as bone densitometry measurement systems that utilize a penetrating radiation source (52), such as an x-ray source is provided. The apparatus includes a patient table (50) with a length extending along a Y-axis and a width extending along an X-axis and a C-arm supporting, for example, an x-ray source at one side of the table and an x-ray detector (54) at an opposite side of the table such that the source and detector are aligned along a source-detector axis. The source is selectively energized to emit a fan beam (3a) of x-rays which conform to a beam plane which is transverse to the Y-axis and contains the source-detector axis. Either, or both, the C-arm (56) or the table are selectively movable relative to the other along the X-axis, along the Y-axis, and along a Z-axis which is transverse to both the X-axis and the Y-axis, so that selected regions of a patient on the table can be selectively scanned with the fan beam of X-rays. In addition, the C-arm is selectively rotatable around a rotational axis extending along the Y-axis to selectively change the angle of the fan beam relative to a patient on the table. The apparatus of the present invention provides various functions that complement and enhance the scanning function and resulting images derived from detected x-rays. For example, the apparatus has a multi-position attenuator mechanism (6c) for placement of different attenuating materials in the radiation beam. The apparatus also includes a detector response flattener coupled to and responsive to the output of detector elements in the x-ray detector. A dark current system interleaves the detector outputs with dark current responses of the detector elements and accounts for dark current characteristics of the elements. The apparatus includes an optical crosshair device (12c) that projects a visible crosshair coaxial with the source-detector axis, and patient positioning aides operative in conjunction with the patient table which facilitate positioning of x-rays and the patient for certain bone density measurements. The apparatus of the present invention may also be constructed as a portable unit suitable for transportation between rooms of a medical facility through generally standard doorways. The portable unit has a base portion capable of rolling ambulation by at least one human operator during transportation and selective stabilization on a floor for patient scanning, and a patient table. The patient table includes a central portion coupled with the base portion, and at least one table leaf coupled with the table central portion for extending table length parallel to the Y-axis.
Patent EP-0751391-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LAWRENCE JOHN MICHAEL WALMSLEY
IPC: G01N27/18
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: A device for detecting the presence of liquid in a flow of gas has a heated temperature sensor 15 mounted on a heated member 13 in thermal contact with the gas and an unheated temperature sensor 14 in thermal contact with the gas, but thermally isolated from the heated temperature sensor 15. Liquid in the gas flow evaporates by absorbing heat from the heated member 13 and therefore reduces the temperature of the heated temperature sensor. The reduction in temperature is used to detect the presence of liquid. 
     The device is suitable for detecting liquid at the output of an evaporator in a heat transfer system, and may be used as part of a control system which reduces the flow of refrigerant through the evaporator when liquid is detected at the output, so avoiding damage caused by liquid entering the compressor of the heat transfer system.

Abstract: A low distortion amplifier circuit (10) employing a main amplifier (A 1 ) and a correction amplifier (A 2 ) in a feed-forward loop, is particularly adapted for amplifying multi-tone signals (S IN ). The main amplifier produces fundamental frequency power along with undesirable distortion products. The correction amplifier provides correction signals at the distortion product frequencies to cancel the distortion products of the main amplifier. In addition, the correction amplifier produces fundamental frequency power which is combined with the fundamental frequency power of the main amplifier, thereby increasing the amplifier circuit output power (S OUT )·

Abstract: A system (18) and method are provided for automatically labelling an electronic price label (EPL) tag (10). A customer data file (CDF) includes a batch of records including a product description and corresponding record number. Labels (14) are printed sequentially for the records contained in the CDF and are automatically applied to the EPL tags (10) in a continuous process. The record number is printed on the tag in the form of a corresponding bar code (16), and the record number bar code (16) and a serial number bar code (12a) also contained on the tag (10) are automatically read. The CDF is updated for correlating the serial number with a respective record number. Optical scanners (38,40) are provided for uncovering defects in visual displays (10a) of the tags (10), misapplied labels (14), and unreadable bar codes (12a,16) which are then rejected. A makeup batch of records is identified from the CDF to identify record numbers without corresponding serial numbers, with the makeup batch then being used to repeat the printing and applying steps for fully processing the batch.

Abstract: A foundation for vibration isolation,
which endures quaking in both horizontal
and vertical directions in a great
earthquake. With respect to horizontal
movements, friction between a pillar and
a floor surface is made small such that the
pillar slides on a plate surface at the time
of an earthquake so as to prevent interlocking
with movements of the ground.
Further, with respect to vertical movements,
a shock absorber is provided on
the pillar to absorb quaking. In order
for the shock absorber to have an extended
elastic life and to be capable of
enduring great loading, a part of the pillar
provided with the shock absorber is supported
by separate structs so as to permit
the shock absorber to actuate when a predetermined
seismic intensity is exceeded.
With the arrangement, the foundation for
vibration isolation is applicable to heavy
buildings such as superhighways and the
like. The foundation can be manufactured
at low cost to afford great cost reduction
in earthquake-proof buildings.

Abstract: A heat transfer system in which a continuous web of material (13, 14) is carried past a hot plate surface (12) with one face of the web in contact therewith, and a series of fluid-filled vessels (15) above the web to apply a load on the upper surface thereof to maintain uniform contact between the web and the hot plate surface irrespective of any undulation thereof. A transport section to convey the web past the hot plate surface comprises upper and lower traction belts (16, 17) disposed entirely beyond the end of the hot plate surface (12) with a fixed plate (18) beneath the lower belt (17) and a series of fluid-filled vessels (19) above the upper belt (16) which serve to maintain adequate drive contact between the belts (16, 17) and the web (13, 14).
