Title: Metrological apparatus
Inventor: MCDONNELL IVOR
IPC: G01B21/20
Filed: 2006-05-08
Abstract: There is described a metrological instrument including a turntable 5 for supporting a workpiece and a support for supporting a stylus gauge (17, fig. 10). The support includes a support body (11, fig.1) and an attitude arm 13 which is mounted to the support body so as to be rotatable about a pivot axis 15. The attitude arm 13 holds the stylus gauge (17) which generates a signal representative of the deflection of the stylus in a measurement direction as the stylus follows a surface of the workpiece on rotation of the turntable about the spindle axis 31. An attitude switching mechanism allows rotation of the attitude arm 13 about the pivot axis 15 to switch the attitude of the stylus between a first attitude in which the stylus is generally aligned with the spindle axis 31 and a second attitude in which the stylus is generally aligned perpendicular with the spindle axis. The attitude arm includes a first adjuster 33a for moving the stylus tip in a direction perpendicular to both the spindle axis and the measurement direction when the stylus is in the first attitude to allow alignment of the measurement direction with the spindle axis, and a second adjuster 33b, for moving the stylus tip in a direction perpendicular to both the spindle axis and the measurement direction when the stylus is in the second attitude to allow alignment of the measurement direction and the spindle axis. An orientation mechanism (inc. motor 73, fig. 10) is provided which rotates the measurement direction of the stylus. A stylus tilt mechanism (eg. 91, 97, fig. 13) allows the stylus to be tilted about a tilt axis which is parallel with the measurement direction.

Title: Apparatus Method And System For A Versatile Financial Mechanism And Transaction Generator And Interface
Inventor: COTTLE CHARLES
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-01-13
Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of an apparatus, method, and system for a versatile financial mechanism and transaction generator and interface (VFMTGI). The disclosure teaches the creation of an effective solution to create and/or leg complex versatile financial mechanisms. The VFMTGI allows the user to remove a great amount of unnecessary transactional risk exposure in part because it also allows users to enter into spreads that represent alternative futures. One aspect of the disclosure teaches an elegant user interface for an investor to execute and complete multiple financial transactions, simultaneously, as a single transaction. The interface makes otherwise complex transactions more easily accessible and understandable. In another aspect, the disclosure teaches a user interface allowing a user to change the risk exposure and/or otherwise hedge the user's underlying position. As such, the VFMTGI allows a user to make a selection to buy or sell an interrelated mufti-leg financial transaction from the users underlying position. This allows the VFMTGI to identify appropriate subcomponent financial instruments from which to generate a new position for the user's underlying position. Doing so provides the user with various subcomponent transactions that the user may further manipulate. The result and manner in which this is achieved, in many instances, results in the generation of never before accessible, novel, non-obvious, yet extremely useful financial instruments. Also, the VFMTGI makes certain transactions achievable, that were heretofore too complex, costly, and/or otherwise uncertain.

Title: Digital log amplifier for ultrasonic testing
Inventor: CUFFE JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 2006-11-02
Abstract: The apparatus and method of the present invention provides a plurality of linear amplifiers (104, 112) simultaneously processing an ultrasonic signal (102). Each amplifier (104, 112) of the plurality of linear amplifiers (104, 112) has a predetermined gain level (110) suitable for achieving the desired output signal level for input to an analog to digital (A/D) converter (106, 114) for processing. The output of each amplifier (104, 112) is sampled by each respective A/D converter (106, 114) at a very high frequency to convert the analog signal output of each of the linear amplifiers (104, 112) to a digital signal (d1, d2). Logic circuits (118) simultaneously monitor all of the output digital signals (d 1, d2) from the A/D converters (106, 114). The logic circuits (118) determine which output of the A/D converters (106, 114) has the greatest linear output and stores the selected output in a memory storage device. The saved output waveforms are subsequently combined into a continuous linear digital output that has a dynamic response range that is approximately the sum of the individual dynamic response ranges of the individual amplifiers (104, 112) and A/D converters (106, 114). The combined continuous linear digital output waveform may be input to a logarithmic conversion to produce a waveform having a wide dynamic range.

Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A computer and method that control access to a network. The computer includes an application that shrinks the window of opportunity for a network attack and reduces power consumption by automatically causing a computer to connect to the network when access is needed and to disconnect the computer from the network when access is not needed. The computer is automatically disconnected when it is deemed that network access is no longer needed, such as after a time period of no network activity. In turn, when the user, or the system, needs access to the network, the computer is automatically reconnected to the network. A software daemon on the computer may temporarily reconnect the computer to the network to access a server on the network to determine if attempts have been made to access the computer.
