Title: Method and apparatus for decoding bar code images using information from previous scan lines
Inventor: SURKA STEFAN
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 1995-01-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding a pixel image representative of a bar code symbol. A bar code symbol is scanned along a first scan line to determine a first set of candidate character values, each candidate character value of this first set having an error value associated therewith. If the scanning along the first scan line results in an unsuccessful reading of the bar code symbol, then the bar code symbol is scanned along a second differing scan line to determine a second set of candidate character values, each candidate character value of this second set having an error value associated therewith. Corresponding error values associated with the first and second sets of candidate character values are next compared. For each corresponding pair of candidate character values from the first and second sets, the candidate character value having the smallest associated error value is selected. A third set of candidate character values is formed in accordance with the selected candidate character values, and the bar code symbol is decoded in accordance with the third set of candidate character values.

Title: Electrostatic vapor-aerosol generator
IPC: B05B5/025
Filed: 1992-03-03
Abstract: The controlled generation of vapors and/or aerosols from liquids is accomplished by applying a regulated, DC voltage to a wicklike, porous emitter or generator assembly which is supplied with the desired liquid to be vaporized. An electrostatic charge is applied to the liquid by means of an electrode positioned in contact with the wick assembly and connected to the DC power supply. The wick assembly includes a porous, capillary material, such as braided fibers, through which the liquid passes to exposed, vapor-emitting fiber tips. The environment in a room, enclosed spaced of any kind, or a building may be aromatically conditioned and/or have its quality modified and enhanced by using a selected liquid conditioning substance such as an aromatic oil, deodorant, disinfectant, fumigant, fungicide, insecticide, or bactericide. Charged, conditioning vapors may be discharged into the circulating air of a building air conditioning system by mounting an emitter assembly within an air handling duct, directly in the moving air stream.

Title: Fractionation using dielectrophoresis and field flow fractionation
Inventor: BECKER FREDERICK F
IPC: B01D57/02
Filed: 1997-01-31
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a novel apparatus and novel methods for the separation, characterization, and manipulation of matter. The invention combines the use of frequency-dependent dielectric and conductive properties of particulate matter and solubilized matter with the properties of the suspending and transporting medium to discriminate and separate such matter. The apparatus includes a chamber having at least one electrode element and at least one inlet and one output port into which matter are introduced and removed from the chamber. Matter carried through the chamber in a fluid stream is then displaced within the fluid by a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force caused by the energized electrode. Following displacement within the fluid, matter travels through the chamber at velocities according to the velocity profile of the chamber. After the matter has transitted through the chamber, it exits at the opposite end of the chamber at a characteristic position.

Patent AU-2243088-A (AU)
Title: Adaptive-filter single-bit digital decoder and encoder
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 1988-09-21
Abstract: An adaptive single-bit encoder and decoder has its adaptive function determined by dynamically dividing the message frequency band into delta-sigma and delta modulation regimes of operation. In a practical embodiment this is accomplished by varying the corner frequency of a variable-frequency low-pass filter (14, 14 min ) in a leaky integrator so that below the corner frequency the operation is that of delta-sigma modulation and above the corner frequency the operation is that of delta modulation. An adaptation control circuit (18, 18 min ) removes the clock signal component from the encoded bit stream to provide an analog signal representative of bit stream information or loading for use in generating the control signal. The analog signal is peak rectified (22, 22 min ), smoothed (24, 24 min ), and (optionally) non-linearly processed (26, 26 min ) to provide the control signal.

Title: Installation of a motor in a vacuum cleaner
Inventor: SJOBERG JAN
IPC: A47L9/22
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: In a vacuum cleaner with a motor suction assembly (8) comprising a motor part and a suction part (6) providing a carrier air stream and a cooling air stream, respectively, the motor suction assembly (8) is built into a cover (7, 12, 13) with a cylindrical cavity (23). The cover (7, 12, 13) separates the carrier air stream from the cooling air stream, said cover thus being sealed (14) against the motor suction assembly (8) in such a way that the carrier air stream cannot be affected by the cooling air stream and vice versa. Furthermore, the motor suction assembly (8) is surrounded and protected by the cover (12, 13). In this way, a construction is provided using only one cover, eliminating the need to position two covers, one of which solely serves to separate the air streams, while the other cover, together with the first one, provide a compartment for receiving the motor suction assembly (8). Thus, in other words, two covers are replaced by a universal cover (12, 13).
