Patent EP-2154576-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAZATO YASUSHI
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 2009-06-22
Abstract: A fault prediction method predicts a plurality of faults in a target device (100), and includes the steps of collecting internal information of the target device (100) output from the target device (100), generating one or more criteria for defining a deviation from a normal state based on the collected internal information of the target device (100), incorporating the one or more criteria into a device state discriminator (105), identifying a deviation from a normal state in the target device (100) according to the one or more criteria using the device state discriminator (105), and outputting a fault prediction as a result of the identifying step to a user. One or more of the steps are performed by a processor. 
Yet, an image forming apparatus provides for an internal information collector (101) and for an input receiver (109,120) to incorporate criteria defining a deviation from a normal state in the image forming apparatus, to a state discriminator (108) and output interface (106).
Patent EP-2273327-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GALLESTEY ALVAREZ EDUARDO
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2009-06-24
Abstract: According to the present invention, model-based control of industrial processes is promoted by using a merged MLD system model for both the estimation and subsequent control of the industrial process, thus simplifying and expediting the setup of model based control together with accurate estimation of initial states. In particular, an optimization of an objective function is performed, wherein the objective function includes a difference between an observed quantity and an output variable of a Mixed Logical Dynamic (MLD) system model of the industrial process. The optimization is performed as a function of state variables of the MLD system model, over a number of time steps in the past, and subject to constraints defined by the MLD system model's dynamics. The optimizing values of the state variables are retained as estimated initial states for the subsequent control of the industrial process in a model-based manner including the very same MLD system model. The single MLD system model is a combination or merger of individual MLD subsystem models representing the sub-processes of the industrial process, and may thus be elaborated by a commissioning engineer during a customization step on a plant site, and hence at a comparably late moment during plant execution.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to operating at least one gas-phase reactor and to measuring and controlling polymer stickiness in a gas phase reactor polymerization. In particular, embodiments relate to monitoring acoustic emissions in a reactor during gas phase polymerization to determine the onset of reactor stickiness and possibly discontinuity events such as chunking and sheeting resulting from that stickiness. Embodiments also relate to monitoring acoustic emissions to determine the need for effective control of parameters that minimize reactor stickiness and thereby preventing discontinuity events. The emissions are processed by arithmetic averaging.

Abstract: This invention proposes a multimodal detection of video copies. It first extracts independent audio and video fingerprints representing the changes in the content. It then proposes two alternative copy detection strategies. The full-query matching considers that the query video appears entirely in the queried video. The partial-query matching considers that only part of the query appears. Either for the full query or for each subsegment in the partial-query algorithm, the cross-correlation with phase transform is computed between all signature pairs and accumulated to form a fused cross-correlation signal. In the full-query algorithm, the best alignment candidates are retrieved and a normalized scalar product is used to obtain a final matching score. In the partial query, a histogram is created with optimum alignments for each subsegment and only the best ones are considered and further processed as in the full-query. A threshold is used to determine whether a copy exists.

Title: Method and device for casting a cast part from a metal melt
Inventor: SMETAN HERBERT
IPC: B22D23/00
Filed: 2009-11-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for casting a cast part G from a metal melt M. During the method according to the invention, a casting mold F comprising a mold cavity H that shapes the cast part G, a feed system 10 and a pouring channel 13, said casting mold being mounted in a bogie, is rotated to a fill position and filled with a metal melt. As a consequence of the effect of gravity, the melt flows through the pouring channel, wherein the main flow direction of the melt makes an angle relative to the acting direction of the force of gravity. The filling is continued until the casting mold F and the pouring channel 13 are completely filled with metal melt M. Then, the casting mold F is sealed by a stopper 18 placed in the fill opening 14 of the pour channel 13, and is rotated to a solidification position in which the melt M present in the feed system 10 is pushed against the melt M present in the mold cavity H. The casting mold G is held in the solidification position until the metal melt M present in the casting mold F has reached a state of solidification in which the cast part G can be de-molded.

Abstract: An optical waveguide film includes at least one optical waveguide area having an X-direction and a Y-direction orthogonal to the X-direction. Such an optical waveguide film includes a plurality of core portions arranged side by side within the same layer so as to extend along the X-direction, each of the core portions having side surfaces, and the core portions adjoining to each other in the Y-direction being arranged through a gap therebetween; and a plurality of cladding portions provided so as to cover the side surfaces of each of the core portions, each of the cladding portions formed of a resin having an optical refractive index smaller than that of each of the core portions, and the cladding portion between the adjoining core portions providing each gap. In the optical waveguide film, a size of the gap between the adjoining core portions varies along the X-direction in at least a part of the optical waveguide area. This makes it possible to precisely match a gap between core portions in a cut end surface with a desired value by selection of cutting positions of the optical waveguide film even when the optical waveguide film is shrunken.
