Patent EP-1039204-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DARWIN RICHARD PAUL
IPC: F16L37/091
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A push fit connector (400) for use as an attachment to connect two pipes
(100,101) has two connecting portions (10,11) at opposite sides of an
inwardly deformed ridge (2) in outer tubular metal body (302) having
inwardly deformed lips (8,8') at each end around a respective entrance
opening to the corresponding connecting portion (10,11). The connecting
portions are similarly arranged and substantially symmetrically disposed
with respect to the ridge. Connecting portion (11) has an annular
abutment element (3'), an elastomeric sealing ring (308), an annular
intermediate abutment (310), a grab ring (312) with inwardly directed
teeth in a frusto-conical array, an outer bush (314) and a sleeve (316)
axially slidable in the bush (314). When the sleeve (316) is pushed
inwardly of the connecting portion (11) a wedge-shaped annular head or
lip on the sleeve acts on the teeth of the grab ring (312) to displace them
radially outwards so they can disengage from the pipe (101) thus releasing
it so that it can be pulled out of the connector (400). Dotted line C
demarcates an end of the envelope of the attachment (400). Teeth
releasing movement by the sleeve (316) can only begin to occur once end
face (342) on a free end of the sleeve is substantially flush with end C of
the envelope or is actually wholly within the envelope. End face (342)
faces outwardly from the body (302).

IPC: H04N5/14

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting robust fade and
dissolve and video sequences. The systems and methods use
a two step approach to detect both discontinuous cuts and
gradual changes in a video sequence. Specifically, an
input video signal is first divided into video segments
based on the location of the discontinuous cut. A gradual
change detector (30) is then applied to the discontinuous
cut segments to determine further cuts based on editing
characteristics. By using this two part approach, the
systems and methods of this invention can robustly detect
scene breaks within a video.

Abstract: An intruder monitoring apparatus 1 comprises a series of passive infrared detectors 2 for
detecting infrared radiation within region to be monitored, and providing first signals containing
information representing the temperature of objects emitting infrared radiation. The passive
infrared detectors 2 are arranged in pairs and each pair of detectors 2 sends output signals to
a processor 3 which determines whether an object emitting infrared radiation lies within a
predetermined temperature range and occupies a region exceeding a predetermined size. In
such a situation, the processor 3 sends an output signal to alarm means 4 which sends an alarm
call to a remote location via a radio antenna 5 or the public telephone network 6.

Abstract: A stacked type dielectric filter (10A) comprises two
sets of resonators (14A, 14B) arranged in a dielectric
substrate (12) constructed by laminating a plurality of
dielectric layers, in which each of the resonators (14A,
14B) includes two resonance electrodes (16A, 16B)
superimposed in a stacking direction; wherein one resonance
electrode (16A) of the two resonance electrodes (16A, 16B)
for constructing each of the resonators (14A, 14B) is formed
to have a wide width as compared with the other resonance
electrode (16B). Accordingly, even when any stacking
deviation occurs in the plurality of resonance electrodes
during the production, it is possible to decrease the
variation of characteristics. Thus, it is possible to
maximally exhibit the effect (high Q value, small size, and
high performance) to be obtained by constructing the
resonator by superimposing the plurality of resonance
electrodes in the stacking direction.

Abstract: A SAW resonator filter (1) which generates Shear Horizontal type
surface acoustic waves includes a piezoelectric substrate (2), and first and
second resonators arranged on the piezoelectric substrate. The first and
second resonators include first and second interdigital transducers (3,4)
having electrode fingers, respectively. The first and second interdigital
transducers (3,4) are acoustically coupled to form a filter, and are divided
into a plurality of sub-interdigital transducer portions (3A,3B/4A,4B),
respectively. By dividing the interdigital transducers to have multiple sub-IDT
portions, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient is
reduced, thereby enabling the bandwidth to be made narrower. Further,
the improvement in the electrode structure allows for the filter to use a
piezoelectric substrate (2) having excellent temperature characteristics, so
that it is possible to achieve a SAW resonator filter having a narrow
bandwidth and superior temperature characteristics. Moreover, when an
edge reflection type SAW resonator filter using SH-type surface acoustic
waves is made, it is possible to provide a compact bandpass filter having
low insertion loss and excellent selectability.
