Abstract: The invention relates to wood coating composition selected to accentuate the color and the natural grain structure of the underlying surface of a wood article, such as, a furniture or carving. The surface of the article is coated with a waterborne system that includes a copolymer copolymerized from at least one first copolymerizable monomer and at least one second copolymerizable monomer containing a conjugate base of a strong acid. The coating enhances the reddish-yellow hues and suppress the bluish hues and grays. Such a coating is aesthetically pleasing and it enhances the natural beauty of high quality wood, such as, rose, cherry, teak, mahogany. The present method can be utilized by furniture manufacturers who plan to replace solvent borne coating compositions, such as nitrocellulose-based lacquers, with waterborne coating compositions.

Abstract: A two dimensional video convolver (10) generates visually acceptable images on a standard television receiver and includes a first adder stage (12, 14), a second adder stage (16, 18, 20), and two pixel time period delays (22, 24). The first adder stage simultaneously receives binary data from three adjacent pixels in a predetermined line in a first direction of a picture to be reproduced on a display during each pixel scan period. The binary data of each of three pixels is processed with a predetermined weight to generate a binary first stage output signal representative of a weighted sum of the plurality of the three pixels in the predetermined line. The second adder stage is responsive to the binary first adder stage output signal during a time period for each of three predetermined adjacent lines in a second orthogonal direction of a picture to be reproduced on a display. The second adder stage processes the binary weighted sum of each of the three lines with a predetermined weight to generate a video convolver output signal representative of a weighted sum of the three pixels in a first direction over three adjacent lines in a second orthogonal direction. Weighting is accomplished in the first and second adder stages by using binary data bits for a pixel as received when the weight for that pixel is a numerical one, and by shifting the received binary data bits by a predetermined number of y bits in a first direction to provide a multiply function when a respective weight is greater than one and equals 2 y .

Abstract: A thermal infrared imaging device (10) includes a thermal detector (50) having a linearly-arrayed plurality of spaced apart detector elements (50', 50", 50‴, ...). A scene to be viewed is scanned across the detector (50) with successive fields of the scene shifted according to the spacing between adjacent detector elements (50', 50", 50‴, ...) in order to capture image information for the entire scene by interlacing of successive scan lines from the plurality of detector elements (50', 50", 50‴, ...). Each complete scan of the viewed scene across the detector (50) creates an image field including a scan line for each detector element (50', 50", 50‴, ...). Each scan line includes plural pixels, or picture elements of the viewed scene, each having a value indicative of the thermal infrared brightness of the viewed scene at the corresponding location along the scan line. An scan-line sum for each scan line is created by adding the absolute values of the pixel values for each scan line. The average of these scan-line sums is employed as a gain control factor to control the brightness of a visible image replicating the viewed scene. Further, the value of a median of the scan-line sums is used to limit gain variations which would otherwise be effected were the line-sum averages alone used to control the gain factor. Accordingly, even when a localized highly-radiant heat source (such as a fire) is within the field of view of the thermal imaging device, then in areas of the image away from the brightness caused by the fire the image does not go dark and a visible image of good contrast is still maintained allowing features of the image to be viewed.

Abstract: A load lifting apparatus suitable for use in a
materials-handling operation, which enables loads of various
shapes and structures, e.g. concrete products, to be clamped
by a one-touch simple operation despite an extremely simple
structure and allows the loads to be released by a one-touch
simple operation at desired places after they have been
lifted and moved thereto. The apparatus includes a link
mechanism (14) in which a pair of clamping members (1 and 2)
and a plurality of members (4, 5, 8, 8-1, 8-2) are supported
by a plurality of pivot shafts. The upper part of the link
mechanism (14) is arranged to be capable of being lifted and
lowered by a lifting device. The clamping members (1 and 2)
rotate about a pivot shaft (3 or 3') in response to vertical
extension and contraction of the link mechanism (4), thereby
enabling an object (11) to be grasped by the distal end
portions of the clamping members (1 and 2) directly or
indirectly through grab members (10) by the extension of the
link mechanism (14), and allowing the object (11) to be
released therefrom by the contraction of the link mechanism
(14). The apparatus has a lock-unlock mechanism (20, 30,
40, 50, 60, or 70) actuated in response to the vertical
extension and contraction of the link mechanism (14), caused
by vertical movement of the lifting device, to lock the
clamping members in respective predetermined positions of
rotation about the pivot shaft and to unlock the clamping
members in response to the vertical movement of the lifting
device.

Abstract: Low molecular weight siloxane fluids are thickened by
silicone elastomers. The silicone elastomers are made by
crosslinking reactions of Si-H containing siloxanes and an
unsaturated hydrocarbon such as an alpha, omega-diene, in
the presence of a low molecular weight siloxane fluid. The
SiH siloxane is first partially reacted with a mono-alkenyl
functionalized polyether. It is then crosslinked by the
alpha, omega-diene, in the presence of the low molecular
weight siloxane fluid. An elastomer, i.e. gel, with
polyether groups is produced. The elastomer can be swollen
with the low molecular weight siloxane fluid under shear
force, to provide a uniform silicone paste. The silicone
paste has excellent spreadability upon rubbing and possesses
unique rheological properties in being thixotropic and shear
thinning. The silicone paste can be easily emulsified with
water to form a stable uniform emulsion, without using a
surfactant to allow normally immiscible materials to become
intimately mixed.

IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: The network of the invention uses asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) as the exclusive transport between the central office and the outside distribution plant of either a SONET or analog facility. Telephony and other narrowband signals are transported from a local switching system over synchronous facilities to a host terminal. Digital video and digital data ATM signals are transmitted to the host terminal from a video provider and data service provider, respectively. The host terminal converts the synchronous narrowband signals to composite cell ATM format and combines these signals with the ATM video and data signals and delivers the ensemble of ATM cells over either a standard SONET transport format to a plurality of distribution managers or other network elements or analog network. To convert the synchronous signals, the host terminal of the invention includes a synchronous to asynchronous converter (SAC) that provides the format conversion needed to provide voice and other narrowband signals over ATM. The SAC also functions to agilely move between cell sizes such that the 48 bytes of the cell payload can be mapped to carry anywhere between the single and 48 connections. Thus, the SAC adjusts the cell configuration to balance performance and bandwidth use in a real-time manner. Each distribution manager consists of several functional elements including an ATM routing function that directs the ATM cells to the correct line drop or processing logic. Specifically, composite cells from the host terminal are received by the distribution manager ATM switch fabric. Based on the contents of their headers, the cells are routed by the fabric to one of several ports. If the address indicates the cells are telephony cells, they are routed to a SAC input where the telephony ATM cells are converted back to synchronous traffic and transmitted to the customer premise over a line card and narrowband drop. If the cells are data or video cells, they are routed to the appropriate interface, and out the broadband line card and drop.
