Title: Graphic and textual image generator for a raster scan display.
Inventor: RUPP CHARLE R
IPC: G09G1/16
Filed: 1981-10-22
Abstract: A raster scan display apparatus for generating both graphic and textual images. The display refresh memory (46) is broken into an information memory (79) and an attribute memory (120). The information memory has one location for each picture element in the display; the attribute memory is of lower resolution and has one memory location for a plurality of picture elements. The attribute memory provides foreground and background attributes which can be varied only in multiples of picture element locations. In response to the information memory contents for each location, either the foreground or the background attribute is provided to the display, from the attribute memory. The information and attribute memories operate in conjunction with a pattern generator (136, 160, 162) to establish the information to be displayed between pairs of points. The pattern generator provides a finite length, repeating pattern of 1's and 0's representing the selection of foreground or background attribute for each location intermediate first and second points on the display. The rate at which the pattern is shifted may be varied to alter character or object size on the display, thus permitting all sizes of a character to be represented in memory in a cell of small fixed size. For generating two-dimensional images, two pattern generators are employed; the second pattern generator provides the starting positions and patterns for the first pattern generator. This permits characters to be reoriented-i.e., tilted, italicized, etc., with simple commands which reset the parameters governing the operation of the pattern generators.

Patent EP-0246295-A4 (EP)
Title: Wrap-around carrier.
Inventor: WILSON JERRY FRANKLIN
IPC: B65D71/12
Filed: 1986-10-29
Abstract: A wrap-around bottle carrier wherein the bottle heel cutouts at the ends of the carrier are spaced from the ends a greater distance than normal to increase the strength of the carrier at this area of stress. To permit this arrangement to be used, the shape of the outer or end cutouts is altered by connecting the top of the cutout to the vertical inner side portion of the cutout by a straight cut rather than by the usual curved cut. This allows the edges of the end cutouts to contact the bottles when the carrier is lifted even though, due to the change in dimensions of the end cutouts, the end cutouts are not symmetrically arranged with respect to the centerline of their associated bottles.

Patent EP-0364447-A4 (EP)
Title: Improved signalling method for establishing trunked communication
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 1988-02-08
Abstract: A trunked communication signalling method is provided by a unifying signalling protocol in which subscribers request communication channels using only their individual IDs encoded into a single ISWs. The central decodes the call request, extracts the requesting subscriber's individual ID, which is cross referenced to determine the subscriber's talk-group affiliation(s). If the requesting subscriber's affiliation(s) are not known, the central commands the subscriber to transmit its affiliation using dual ISW signalling. In another aspect of the present invention, each subscriber automatically informs the central of a change in talk-group affiliation, thereby providing continual affiliation updates. In this way, many thousand subscribers are afforded access to a single trunked system, and control channel traffic congestion is minimized.

Title: Methods and apparatus for quantifying tissue damage
IPC: G01N33/84
Filed: 1990-08-13
Abstract: Tissue damage may be quantified, tissue type identified, neural activity monitored or blood hematocrit determined by measuring the difference between the total tissue sodium and potassium concentrations in the area in question. Comparison of these measurements with standard values permit evaluation of the amount of tissue damage in cells of the same type or the tissue type in non-necrotic cells. Evaluation over time of normal brain cells permit monitoring of neural activity. By directly and simultaneously measuring sodium and potassium ion concentrations, for example, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer can image areas of different tissue type in differing colors. In this manner tumors and lesions can be clearly delineated. Measurement of total potassium concentration of a blood sample and the potassium concentration of the cell-free plasma will permit determination of cellular volume fraction (hematocrit).

Patent EP-0565537-A4 (EP)
IPC: E01D19/16
Filed: 1991-11-12
Abstract: A composite material, particularly useful for prestressing concrete and in stay cables for cable-stayed bridges and other such uses where strength, corrosion resistance and resistance to fatigue failure are particularly important, comprises high strength wire strand coated and impregnated with an impermeable and strongly adherent epoxy based resin. The impregnated and coated epoxy increases the flexural stiffness of the composite against bending fatigue in the areas of the anchorages in dynamically loaded situations and reduces relative movement and rubbing of the wires of the strand so as to reduce fretting and hence fretting fatigue, the principal mechanism for failure in dynamically loaded strand. Impregnation and coating are effected by passing the fully formed and heated strand through a known electrostatic powder coating line, modified to include a mechanism for temporarily opening successive sections of the strand such that the strand passes into the coater in an opened state, and the strand wires are coated with a fused thermosetting epoxy resin before the strand is permitted to reclose, the resin filling the interstices in the reclosed strand. The strand opening mechanism includes a rotatable template with wire guides for leading the outer spiraled wires temporarily away from the center wire, and can be used in any method where a formed strand or similar member needs to be opened for coating or otherwise surface treating the interior wire surfaces in a continuous process.
