Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for generating pattern signals. A pattern outline is divided into regions and respective regions are represented in terms of conic lines. Data representing the pattern outlines is stored in outline data storage means (1). In response to a control signal, outline reproducing means (3 to 8) read out selected outline data from the outline data storage means and reproduce a pattern outline function from the selected outline data. Converting means (9, 10) are responsive to an output from the outline reproducing means for generating pattern signals representing the whole pattern. Each respective outline region is represented as an initial point of, an auxiliary point on, and a terminal point of the associated conic line, and the outline reproducing means include selecting means (6, 7, 8) arranged to calculate a linear function for a straight line joining respective ones of the points, to establish whether the maximum gap between the straight and the conic lines joining the respective points has a value less than a reference value and, if it has, to select the linear function for supply to the converting means.

Abstract: Optical interference structures incorporating porous films. These structures are capable of exhibiting a colour by interference effects caused by the interference of light reflected from various layers within the structure. Basically, the structures comprise a reflective substrate (10), a porous transparent dielectric film (11) on the substrate and at least one semi-transparent layer supported by the porous dielectric film. The structure is such that there are at least two reflective surfaces separated by an optically thin porous layer of the dielectric film. These structures can be formed by several methods, but the most convenient involves the porous anodization of a substrate metal (10) (e.g. aluminum) to form the dielectric film (11) and the deposition of a semi-transparent metal layer (12) within the pores or on the film surface. The structures can be made inexpensively and are capable of generating strong and, if desired, dichroic colours. The porous nature of the film can also be exploited to create colour shifts. The structures can be used for decorative purposes or to create a wide range of indicators, sensors, security devices and the like.

Abstract: An alignment measuring system is used in determining the location of the rotational centre line of a long, cylin­drical body having a number of support bearings spaced along its length, during the rotation of the body. The method par­ticularly lends itself to the re-alignment of hot kilns, dur­ing their operation, without requiring shut down and the con­sequent disruption and loss of product. The system utilizes a base line or datum on each side of the kiln for locating the measuring instrument. The distance measuring instrument is a radiant beam instrument such as a diode laser providing an electronic readout, to enable accurate determination of the distance of the outer surface of the kiln shell from the in­strument, and hence the location of the rotational centre rel­ative to the established baseline datum, for the longitudinal station being measured. A series of lateral centre line de­terminations thus made along the length of a kiln, and includ­ing a like determination of the height of the centre line at each measuring station, permits adjustment to selected ones of the kiln support bearings to align the rotational centre line along the length of the kiln, including the correction of cen­tre line elevations.

Abstract: The configuration of a path for motor vehicles is recognized on the basis of image data produced by a television camera or the like. Feature points contained in original image data of the path are determined, and a group of straight lines approximating the array of the feature points are also determined. From the group of straight lines, there are extracted straight lines which are effective to determine boundaries of the path. The extracted straight lines divided into a plurality of line segments by points of intersection between the straight lines. The line segments are then checked against the feature points of the original image data to determine whether the line segments correspond to the boundaries of the path. The original image data may be divided into a plurality of areas, and the above process may be carried out with respect to the image data in each of the areas.
