Abstract: A convertible roll forming apparatus for forming flanges on a strip of
material in which a roller assembly is supported on a support stand and
disposed to move the strip material in a material feed direction. A pivotal
support assembly supports a knuckle member for pressing against an edge
portion of the strip material, the knuckle member cooperating with the support
assemblies to progressively form the edge portion into a flange. The support
assembly can be selectively disposed to form the edge portion in a first
direction or in an opposing second direction. The strip material can be passed
through serial passes of support assemblies and knuckle members to
progressively form the flange. The roller assembly is supported for lateral
expansion to accommodate various widths of strip material as required, and a
lip forming section is provided to form a lip on the outer edge of the formed
flange. Flange straightener assemblies are also provided to control the
overbend.

Abstract: A calendar-viewing system comprising a calendar-viewing program in
execution in a handheld computing device is disclosed. The calendar-viewing
system has a display (20) for presenting a calendar view to a user. In the
calendar view, a period of interest is prescribed, and the user activity
information for that prescribed period is shown. However, only limited or
truncated text descriptions of the activities in each day of the prescribed
period is provided in the calendar view. To quickly access further user activity
information for a selected period within the prescribed period, the user can
activate a view of a set of user activity information for the selected period.
This view then replaces a portion of the calendar view.

Inventor: RANDALL STEVEN PAUL
IPC: H02K19/10
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: In a switched reluctance machine, the air gap between aligned rotor and stator
poles is defined to have an inner region of uniform length and outer regions of
increasing length. The outer regions are flanked by extension portions on one
or both of the poles that form a radiussed transition region on the pole between
each outer region and a side wall of the pole. The at least one of the poles has a
waist portion between the extension portions and the body of the lamination.
As the rotor rotates with respect to the stator, alignment of the poles more
gradually modifies the flux path such that radial forces tending to distort the
stator and give rise to vibration and acoustic noise are reduced. The waist
portion decreases the inductance of the stator winding in the minimum
inductance position of the rotor.

Title: Luftmassensensor
Inventor: LOESING KARL-HEINRICH DR
IPC: G01F15/04
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Luftmassensensor, ein Verfahren Abgleich des Luftmassensensors
und ein Verfahren zur Signalauswertung im Luftmassensensor. 
     Es ist bekannt, Luftmassenmesser zu verwenden, deren Meßungenauigkeiten bei der routinemäßig
erfolgenden Luftstrommassenerfassung durch einen in einem externen, zusätzlichen
Erfassungsgerät befindlichen Mikroprozessor ausgeglichen werden, um die Wirkung
von Widerstandstoleranzen zu kompensieren. Dabei werden die Differenzen zwischen
einer sich am Bezugswiderstand bildenden Spannung und einem Standardwert auf der
Basis gespeicherter Informationen ausgeglichen. 
     Nachteilig ist, daß jeder Luftmassenmesser an das Erfassungsgerät angepaßt werden muß,
da bekanntlich jeder Luftmassenmesser eine eigene Meßtoleranz aufweist. Auch können
mit nur einem Luftmassenmesser nicht die Strömungsrichtungen bestimmt werden. 
     Hiergegen weist der erfindungsgemäße Luftmassensensor, der als ein Luftmassensensormodul
ausgeführt ist, zwei Temperatursensoren (6,7) und zwei Heizsensoren (4,5) auf, die
in zwei getrennt wirkende Brücken (I, II) eingebunden sind und deren Brückenausgangssignale
(U mv,  U mh,  U q ) auf einen im Luftmassensensormodul befindlichen Mikroprozessor
(16) geführt sind. Der Mikroprozessor (16) wird derart abgeglichen, daß im Basismodus
gemessene Brückenrohsignale (U sv , U sh,  U sq ) in Stützstellen (x 1 , x 2 , x 3... ) von Stützstellentabellen
(St2, St3) eingeschrieben werden. In den Stützstellentabellen (St2, St3) ist in Form
von Meßpunkten (m 1 , m 2 , m 3.. ) eine Kundenkennlinie hinterlegt werden. 
Nach Abarbeitung einer dem Mikroprozessor (16) aufgeprägten Signalauswertung im
Luftmassensensormodul erfolgt am Ausgang (A2) die Ausgabe eines, die strömenden
Luftmassen interpretierenden Ausgangsspannungssignals (U a ), das an die vorgegebene
Kundenkennlinie angepaßt ist, wozu die gemessenen Brückenrohsignalen (U mv , U mh ) mit
denen Ausgangsspannungssollsignalen (U Soll1,  U Soll2 , U Soll3...  ) verglichen und kennlinienkorrigierend
verändert werden. An einem weiteren Ausgang (A1) kann zudem die aktuelle,
den Temperatursensors (6) umgebene Temperatur (T) durch ein, diese Temperatur (T)
charakterisierendes Spannungssignal (U T ) abgegriffen werden.

Abstract: Apparatus for receiving and demodulating call related information, e.g.,
Caller ID information, includes an audio codec (104) placed on the line side and
powered by current drawn from the telephone line. The audio codec includes a 1 st  order
Σ/Δ A/D converter (140) to digitize the signal from the telephone line with Σ/Δ
modulation. The 1 st  order Σ/Δ A/D converter may be a scaleable component capable of
alternative operation in a 2 nd  order. The Σ/Δ encoded digitized signal is digitally
processed by a DSP (110) including an amplifier module, a digital filter, a limit/slice
module, and an FSK decoder to receive and output the call related information.
Placement of the audio codec (104) on the line side and the scaleable Σ/Δ A/D converter
(140) provides significantly reduced power requirements for the audio codec, thus
allowing operation from power derived from the telephone line. In another
embodiment, to further reduce power consumption of the audio codec, the 1 st  order Σ/Δ
A/D converter is sampled at a slower rate than is conventional, e.g., by first dividing or
otherwise providing a slower sampling clock.

from the label sequence index, computes similarities
between the extracted label sequences, and the label
sequence of the query image, and outputs images, in which
the computed similarities exceed a predetermined value, as

Abstract: Synchronization among digital video and digital audio signals is
maintained in a multimedia player with limited or highly varying processing
power. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a processor with stored
program memory controls the decoding and playback of audio blocks and video
frames, each stream independently stored in an order of intended playback time.
The processor gives priority to the decoding and playback of audio blocks, and
periodically determines whether a backlog of encoded video frames exists.
Under video backlog conditions, the processor reduces the backlog by decoding
only those backlogged video frames that must be decoded in order to decode
and play the frame in the sequence of backlogged video frames with the latest
intended playback time. After decoding this latest backlogged frame, the
processor directs it to be played. Normal video decoding and playback then
resumes for video frames following this latest backlogged video frame in
sequence and in intended playback time.

Title: Method for controlling taper pipe thread and corresponding control devices
Inventor: NOEL THIERRY
IPC: G01B5/24
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: The invention concerns the control of male or female taper pipe threads (3) located at the ends of metal tubes for sealed assembly thereof. The method consists in controlling the pitch diameter of threads in a measuring plane (P1) substantially located in the middle of zone containing perfect threads using a planar diameter-measuring apparatus (51) whereas the pitch diameter of threads is conventionally measured by the specification API 5B in the plane (P0) of the last perfect male thread and in comparing the measured pitch diameter of the threads with an estimated value (D1e) calculated from the pitch diameter nominal value in the plane P0, from the distance the distance between P0 and P1 and from a transfer value of the taper, itself a function of the distribution of the taper ratios produced. The invention enables to better estimate the thread interference in the proximity of sealing surfaces (5, 6) and/or bearing surfaces (7, 8), hence the sealing capacity of the assembly.
