Title: Measuring system using laser technique for three-dimensional objects
Inventor: NIEBUHR ERIK
IPC: G01S17/86
Filed: 1998-03-23
Granted: 2004-01-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a laser-assisted measuring system for three-dimensional objects and complex surfaces. In accordance with the invention, three-dimensional objects are preferably interior areas of buildings or geological hollows with complex surfaces. The invention makes a considerable contribution to the rationalisation and improvement of precision in measuring operations of this kind. In the known pulse operation time method, the distance is measured by a laser pulse from the transmitter to the measuring point and back. A measurement fan is generated on emission of laser pulses. In accordance with the invention, the measurement tan (11) must be turned 360° step by step at a constant speed, in order to cover a three-dimensional area. In a wall, up to 200,000 measuring points can be obtained. An appropriate evaluation of the measurement data takes place so chat a 3 D wire model can be constructed.

Granted: 2003-08-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for carrying out the following stereoselective microbial reduction of a racemic tetralone:   (see formula I) which comprises: contacting a compound of formula (I) with a microorganism, or an enzyme reduction system capable of accomplishing the subject reduction comprising an enzyme derived from said microorganism and a co-factor for said enzyme, and incubating the resulting mixture under conditions sufficient to yield the (4R) tetralol of formula (II) and to leave substantially unreacted the (4S) tetralone of formula (V) or "chiral tetralone." The chiral tetralone can be used in the synthesis of sertraline. The subject process further optionally comprises the separation of the (4S) tetralone of formula (V) from the (4R) tetralol of formula (II). The (4R) tetralol can be recycled to produce the compound of formula (I) and the subject process repeated to result in even more of the desired (4S) tetralone of formula (V).

Title: Transmission power control method and system
Inventor: FURUKAWA HIROSHI
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-10-30
Granted: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A transmission power control technique allowing stable and reliable signal transmission in soft handover is disclosed. Each of the base stations involved in soft handover measures an amount of loss of the base station selection signal. When the amount of loss of the base station selection signal exceeds a threshold, the transmission power of the downlink signal is not set to the minimum level but to the normally controlled level. Further, a transmission power update timing of each base station is determined so that the downlink signal received at the mobile station changes in transmission power at a predetermined timing synchronized with that of other base stations.

Title: Combination printing and quilting method and apparatus
Inventor: CODOS RICHARD N
IPC: B41J3/407
Filed: 1999-04-27
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A quilting machine (10, 100, 200, 300) is provided having a quilting station (27, 127, 227) and a printing station (25, 125, 225) located upstream of the quilting station, with a conveyor (20) extending through each of the stations to convey a web (15) of quilting material through the machine.  At the printing station a top layer (15) is printed with a multi-colored design under the control of a programmed controller (35, 135, 235, 335), which may vary the design from section to section of the web so that individual or small quantities of panel sections of the web may be decorated with a different pattern. The conveyor preferably moves the quilting material relative to stationary heads (30), but the conveyor may alternatively stop at various stations and the printing or quilting heads moved relative to the stationary web on the conveyor. Pre-cise longitudinal position information is maintained of the location of the printed pattern. The conveyor then conveys the top patterned layer web through a drying station (26, 126, 226). After bringing the top layer web together with webs of filler (18) and backing material (17), the conveyor conveys the multi-layered web to the quilting station where a quilted pattern is caused by the controller to be sewn on the printed pattern bearing material in registration with the printed pattern.  Preferably, printing is applied before the quilting, but quilting before printing can be accomplished according to certain aspects of the invention. A cutoff station (28) separates the web panels bearing composite printed and quilted patterns under control of the programmed controller. For mattress cover manufacture, border panels can be quilted and printed in coordination with the top and bottom mattress panels, as part of the same webs of material from which they are then severed or in a separate synchronously controlled border making section (106).

Title: Two-axis ball-based cursor control apparatus with magnetic force induced tactile feedback
Inventor: YU YAT SHUN DAMIEN
IPC: G06F3/0354
Filed: 2001-01-29
Granted: 2005-05-03
Abstract: A two-axis ball-based cursor control apparatus with tactile feedback is provided, which includes a housing, a spherical ball contained partially within the housing, a plurality of magnetic elements fixed within the spherical ball, and a plurality of magnetic elements fixed within the housing. When the spherical ball is at rest, an attractive magnetic force between some or all of the first magnetic elements and some or all of the second magnetic elements resists motion of the ball. When a sufficient rotational force is applied to the ball, the ball rotates about one or both axes until the applied force no longer exceeds the magnetic force, at which point the magnetic force causes the ball to stop at a new position, providing the user with tactile feedback to indicate that the ball position has changed.

Abstract: A system and method having a plurality of antennas located at selected spaced intervals along an elongate feed or drinking trough. Each animal, to be monitored, is equipped with a passive transponder having a unique identification code. An electronic control system transmits an electronic signal sequentially to each one of the plurality of antennas such that each activated antenna emits a signal and, any passive transponder sufficiently adjacent to the activated antenna, receives the signal and generates a return electronic signal which is sent to the activated antenna. More specifically, a system, which is capable of being used with multiple transponders to monitor the feeding and drinking behavior of animals in order to predict a variety of conditions relating to health, productivity and quality. A computer, coupled to the plurality of antennas, receives a return signal from the passive transponder and generates preliminary results concerning an animal behavior, which effects animal consumption activity. Finally, a modification factor, incorporated in the computer, modifies the preliminary results to generate a final result that predicts, with a level of predictability, the animal behavior which effects the consumption activity monitored. A chalk powder ejector system visibly marks animals identified by the computer, coupled to the plurality of antennas that require intervention.  At least one medication container is connected to a water supply conduit for dispensing a desired medication to the water supplied by the water supply conduit, and a control valve is coupled to the computer to control operation of the control valve and facilitated automatic administering of the medication into the water supply conduit. A weighing mechanism is also provided for periodically weighing animals.
