Title: Dock seal
Inventor: FRITZE JOHN ERIK CHRISTER
IPC: B65G69/00
Filed: 1993-04-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a dock seal which includes at least one inflatable sealing element which functions to press sealingly against a loading/off-loading vehicle located in the immediate vicinity of a loading port, and which further includes means for returning the inflated sealing elements to a rest state. The invention is characterized in that at least one sealing element is provided with an outer casing which, when the element is in an inflated state, essentially surrounds and at least partially abuts the largest outer surface of the sealing element and extends around the major part of its perimeter, and wherein the casing forms at least a part of the element returning means.

Abstract: Mit der Erfindung wird eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Erkundung eines unbekannten Arbeitsraumes beschrieben. Es ist dazu nicht notwendig, vor dem Einsatz der Vorrichtung irgendwelche Markierungen am Raum anzubringen, bzw. der Raum muß keine besonderen Charakteristika für die Ortsbestimmung aufweisen. Die beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung führt Markierungen mit sich, beispielsweise Metallplättchen oder ein Stromzuführungskabel, das sie auslegt, während sie sich entlang einer Raumbegrenzung bewegt. Anschließend kehrt sie um und bewegt sich entlang der Markierung zurück, wobei sie neue Markierungen auslegt. Beim Auftreffen auf die nächste Wand des Raumes wendet sie, nimmt die zuvor ausgelegten Markierungen auf und verlegt wieder neue Markierungen. Dieser Vorgang dauert solange, bis der ganze Raum abgefahren wurde. Als Beispiel eines Einsatzes einer Vorrichtung ist ein Industriestaubsauger denkbar, der Teppichböden absaugen soll.

Title: Process for reducing data in the transmission and/or storage of digital signals from several interdependent channels.
Inventor: HERRE JUERGEN
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1993-05-18
Abstract: The description relates to a process for reducing data in the transmission and/or storage of digital signals from several interdependent channels. As the signals from the channels are not mutually independent, it is possible further to reduce the quantity of data during transmission. In prior art processes for coding signals from two stereo channels, it is possible with a poor signal composition to cause interference through the coding which is not covered by the signal actually present in the channel and detract from listening enjoyment. In the process of the invention, by the use of the spectral values of corresponding blocks, the necessary data rate for separate coding of the two channels and for joint coding is balanced. The channels are jointly coded as long as the data rate for joint coding does not exceed the data rate for the separated coding of the channels concerned by a predeterminable value. In this case the spectral values of the corresponding blocks are similar so that joint coding is preferred. With very dissimilar signals, balancing results in separate signal transmission. The joint coding of several channels is temporarily suspended in order to be certain of preventing interference.

Abstract: A method of constructing a bridge using a two step composite construction process. In the first step, the region to be spanned is bridged with precast prestressed concrete elements that are designed as beams and complete permanent formwork to carry the dead load of the bridge, to provide a high density concrete protective shell giving a greater degree of protection against deterioration from the elements and to provide a very high quality of finish and architectural design, to provide a complete working platform for construction, and to eliminate the need for temporary scaffolding and formwork. In the second step, additional poured in place concrete is cast into the spaces created by the precast elements and serves as beams, post-tensioned to carry the live loads of the bridge. A bridge is thus created comprised of precast elongated elements supported on abutments at the sides of the spanned region, reinforced concrete beams contained by and between the adjacent elements, and a deck supported by the beams and elongated elements.

Abstract: Ground lines 2 are disposed so as to sandwich a power supply line 1. A gate oxide film 3 and a gate 4 are formed below the power supply line 1. An n-type area 8 is formed adjacent to the end of the gate oxide film to set the ground potential thereto. A p-type area 9 is formed at most of the remaining part below the ground line to make it contact the substrate. Since the potential of the gate equals that of the power source, an inversion layer is formed below the oxide film, where the ground potential results through the n-type area. By sandwiching the gate oxide film between the gate and the inversion layer, a capacitor is formed. The size of the capacitor is half in length as large as the width of the power supply wiring, and the width substantially equals the length of the power supply wiring, the parasitic resistance generated at the gate or inversion layer is suppressed small, and the gate capacitance approximately corresponding to the area of master power supply wiring is interposed between the power source and the ground. As a result, a large capacitance bypass capacitor can be formed between the power source and the ground, and a power supply wiring which is great in effect of eliminating power supply noise can be obtained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for measuring motion signals of gyroscopes in downhole instruments used to determine the heading of a borehole. An illustrative embodiment of the invention includes a measuring-while-drilling system which may experience motion even while the drill string is suspended in rotary table slips when the heading of the drill string is being determined. Accelerometer and magnetometer data along three orthogonal axes of a measurement sub are used to obtain unit gravitational vectors ĝ at a first time and at a second time and unit magnetic vectors ĥ at the first time and the second time. The difference between the two unit gravitational vectors at the different times, Δĝand the difference between the two unit magnetic vectors at the different times, Δĥ are used along with the unit vectors g and and the difference in time At to determine the rotation vector of the probe  Ω   P  which has occurred during such time difference. The vector representing the rotation of the earth,  Ω   e  is then determined by subtracting  Ω   P  from the vector  Ω   g  from three gyroscope instruments placed along the axes of the measurement sub. The heading of the drill string is determined from the gravitational vector and the earth rotation vector.
