Abstract: An apparatus for downhole measurement of formation parameters utilises a sonde (10) with a microwave transmitting antenna (30) and receiving antenna (32), with measuring means (52) for measuring signals transmitted between the antennae and through the formations, and means (24) for determining formation parameters from the measurements. In a method of measuring the formation parameters, the measurements are used to determine an equivalent circuit representative of the formation between the transmitter antenna and receiver antenna; the equivalent circuit encodes valuations of resistivity, dielectric constant and magnetic permeability of the formation material. Multiple measurements can be made in a given formation, and the sonde can be moved steadily or periodically to make measurements at selected locations. Formation electrical parameters in adjacent formations can then be determined.

Abstract: device for characterizing the formation of a sheet material is described. The device comprises a formation sensor (10) for measuring the basis weight of the sheet material as the material passes through the sensor, and signal processing circuitry which receives a basis weight signal from the formation sensor and which produces three types of outputs, which outputs characterize:
     (1) the magnitude of variation in the sheet basis weight;   (2) the strength of the weakest portion or portions of the sheet; and   (3) the size of the flocs comprising the sheet. The formation sensor includes a light pipe (26) that is held against the sheet as the sheet moves through the sensor, and that directs a small spot of light transmitted through the sheet to a light detecting device (30). The magnitude of small-scale variation in the sheet basis weight is computed by determining the ratio between average value of the basis weight signal and the varying or AC component of the basis weight signal.

Abstract: A window grip (10) has a coupling (K) surrounding the grip neck (14) and having mutually spring-loaded rings (50, 52) which have control tracks (60, 62) for engagement into and disengagement from given angular positions of the handle. They make it possible, when the grip is rotated, to carry out the locking and unlocking in such a way that the pivoting of the window is possible only with the handle released, but the latter, even when closed, allows a permanent tilted ventilation position. The control tracks (60, 62) are arranged on mutually confronting cylinder end faces. Alternating raised and recessed circle-arc segments with control-track transitions located between them form pairs vertically offset in pairs. Circumferential slopes (64) make it possible, even with the closing unit (20) locked, to move the handle into the tilted position through 90 DEG  to the right or left. Further rotation is impossible, but it can be rotated back into the closing position. To open the window by pivoting, the blocking bolt (22) has to be pushed back; the coupling (K) then comes free. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An amplitude difference between a reproduction signal from a preformat portion of an optical disk and a reproduction signal from a recording portion of user's data is obtained. When the amplitude difference exceeds a predetermined value, a first gain value (5a) which was set for information from the preformat portion is used as a gain value (7a) of an AGC circuit (2) for reproduction and a gain control of the reproduction signal is performed. On the other hand, when the amplitude difference is smaller than the predetermined value, a second gain value (6a) which was set for the user's data is used. Thus, a situation such that a noise and a remaining signal of the user's data which was not erased are erroneously recogniz­ed as an inherent reproduction signal can be prevented. A discrimination to see if the data has been recorded in the recording portion of the user's data or not can be also accurately performed.

Abstract: A novel method for generating orientation of short fibers in the matrix of a composite material allows for production of complex high strength components. With state of the art technologies short fibers can be oriented only by elongational flows and these are generally applicable only to extrusion products. The invention is based on the fundamental discovery that short fibers can be oriented by relative movement against a finer three-dimensional isotropic network. Gel networks are of molecular level and satisfy this scaling requirement even for whiskers. The process involves mixing-in the fibers with a gel, pouring (injecting) the mixture into a mold and then orienting the fibers by moving them relative to the gel network. The movement can be driven by sound waves. When orientation is accomplished, the gel is solidified forming the matrix of the composite.

Abstract: A method for allocating resource use to a process having a plurality of tasks in which a set of signals identifying the interferences in resource use among the plurality of tasks is generated and a signal representing an initial non-interfering allocation is produced. The allocation signal is iteratively improved by 1) determining the correlations among the identified interferences, 2) comparing the determined correlations to prescribed criteria, 3) modifying the allocation signal in accordance with the determined correlations, and 4) reforming the interference signal set responsive to the determined correlations. When the determined correlations meet the prescribed criteria in the correlation determination, the corresponding allocation signal is selected as the optimum non-interfering allocation.

Abstract: In an image processing device for processing image data representing an image, and including an image filtering arrangement (22), a filter function is applied to the image data (10-­20) that greatly amplifies or enhances high frequency image data, including noise inherent in the image. Such noise, which may be the granularity of the image, when enhanced, serves to mask the beating pattern of moiré. One function which accomplishes adequate high frequency and noise filtering is a modified Laplacian function with a maximum modulation at a frequency of the noise or granularity of the image. Similarly, the special effect of a random screen image or mezzo tint is obtained when a continuous tone image is processed with the modified Laplacian filtering function, and subsequently thresholded in a thresholding arrangement (28).
