Abstract: 5 n7 A light scanner for determining the configuration of elongated objects, such as logs or lumber, is described. The object is moved laterally through the scanner past a plurality of laser light sources and a plurality of photo-detector cameras spaced along the object. The coherent laser light beams are parallel to each other and to the lens axis centerline of the cameras for easier alignment and to prevent the laser light spot on the object from moving relative to such axis centerline for objects of different thickness. The cameras have a photo-detector target which may be a linear diode array CCD semiconductor device for producing scan data signals in response to reflected light beams which are processed by a computer system giving preference to the data produced by the beams in the outer portions of the camera viewing field to determine the thickness of the object at points spaced along the object. Non-coherent polychromatic light is also reflected from the object to the cameras to detect the ends of the object and to determine its length. Reference targets are provided along one side of the object to sense the leading end and the trailing edge of the object as it is moved laterally to block light reflected from or emitted by such targets to the cameras on the opposite side of the object.

Abstract: A method for determining which of similar video fields may be excised to enhance video signal compression evaluates parameters of four successive fields denoted 0, 1, 2, and 3. Accumulated differences d(0, 2) and d(1,3) of corresponding pixels in successive frames are generated. In addition a determination is made (103) whether fields 1 and 2 exhibit interlace characteristics. If they do not exhibit interlaced characteristics, a comparison is made (105) of d(0, 2) and d(1, 3). If d(0, 2) is less than d(1, 3) by a predetermined amount, field 2 is excised (113) from the signal stream and a code is generated (113) to condition a receiver to display two of the remaining four fields in a three field interval. Subsequently the latter two fields of the set of 0, 1, 2 and 3 fields, and the next two occurring fields are similarly analyzed (107-111).

Abstract: In a method for generating a transmitting wave, a power supply voltage (Vcc) to be supplied to a transmission power amplifier (3) is detected by a voltage detector (11), and a modulating signal (Sm) is controlled so that a peak value of a modulated wave (St) is lowered in accordance with a reduction amount of the power supply voltage (Vcc). Since the peak value of the modulated wave input to the power amplifier (3) is lowered, it is possible to obtain a transmitting wave without a distortion of the wave form or an increased bandwidth even when the reduction in the power supply voltage involves the lowering of the driving capability of the power amplifier.

Abstract: Discovery/layout software (101) configures a general purpose computer system to act as a management station (100') using the industry standard SNMP protocol. The discovery/layout software (101) has a discovery mechanism (302) and a layout mechanism (304) which, in combination, permit the discovery/layout software (101) to provide various submaps (202-210) on demand to a display (108). The submaps (202-210) are directed to various hierarchical views of the network (118). The discovery mechanism (302) monitors and discovers the device configuration on the network (118) and maintains a topology data base (314) indicative thereof. A layout mechanism (304) has a translator (318) which converts the topology data from the topology data base (314) to map data, which is maintained in a map data base (326). Significantly, topology data is received by the translator (318) in a batch and, in addition, map data is transferred from the translator (318) in a batch so that context switching involving the change of control over the processor (102) and operating system (122) is minimized and the performance of the management station (100') is significantly enhanced.

Abstract: A spark ignited, piston type diesel fueled internal combustion engine is provided with a charge conditioning system that includes a fuel preheater for vaporizing liquid fuel to enable starting of the engine and a least one secondary heater for adding additional heat to the charge supplied to the engine. The fuel vaporizer receives liquid fuel from the starting fuel circuit of the engine and uses an electrically or chemically energized heater device, or a direct combustion heater. The secondary heater may be associated with the charge intake conduit of the engine or with the combustion chamber of the engine. The secondary heater device may be electrically or chemically activated, or may constitute a heat regenerator that retains heat from a previous combustion cycle of the engine. Spark plug fouling is avoided by utilizing secondary chambers adjacent the combustion chamber of the engine that direct expanding jets of high velocity gases towards the spark plug electrodes each combustion cycle during the power stroke of the piston.
