Title: System for locating relative positions of objects
Inventor: SCHULZ WALDEAN A
IPC: A61B6/12
Filed: 1994-04-22
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: This system locates and displays the relative positions of one moveable object (12) with respect to a second moveable object (11) in a three-dimensional space. The locations of at least two points reference (14, 16) on the first object (12) and at least three reference points (73-75) on the second object (11) are measurable by position sensors (20, 22, 24) in a predetermined fixed coordinate system (80). From the locations of the reference points (14, 16, 73-75), a computer (36) determines the positions and orientations of the two objects (11, 12) in the fixed coordinate system (80). From the positions and orientations of the two objects (11, 12), the computer (36) further determines the relative position and orientation of the first object (12) with respect to a predetermined local coordinate system in a fixed relationship with the second object (11). The computer (36) causes the display of a graphical representation of the position and orientation of the first object (12) on a graphical model of previously taken image data of the second object (11).

Abstract: A container for packaging a particulate product under pressure or vacuum conditions with an easy opening closure structure which allows venting prior to uncovering of the product opening. In one form, an easy peel flexible lid covers a shelf area and a product opening in the top of the can. Peeling back the lid first uncovers the vent opening, permitting the flow of gases but preventing the flow of particulate product, and then uncovers the product opening.      Alternatively, the closure structure may be formed by multiple layers of a flexible material, the lower layer of which has the vent opening which is uncovered by peeling back the top layer, after which the product opening is uncovered.

Granted: 2002-10-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for registration of a seal and perforation on a plastic bag include a drum for forming a seal on a continuous plastic film with respect to a registration mark on the film and a perforator/cutting station for forming a perforation on the film with respect to the location of the seal. This method and apparatus is used in a plastic bag making machine to produce bags of different lengths. A detector locates the registration mark printed on the film and the drum diameter may be adjusted to form the seal at a desired location on the film with respect to the registration mark. A seal detecting station locates the seal and a controller adjusts the speed of the perforator/cutting station to properly locate the perforation with respect to the seal and to maintain a desired skirt length.

Granted: 2007-01-02
Abstract: A system and method for converting to progressive scan interlaced video data that was originally produced on film and converting to interlaced data. The most recent previous field and the second most recent field are stored. The most recent previous field is compared to the current field and the second most recent field to generate two motion signals. The field that generated the smallest motion signal when compared to the most recent previous field is then used to perform field insert for that field. The field insert results in progressive frames of data of the image that was produced originally on film. The system determines whether the film conversion is necessary, or whether the data is used for conventional-format progressive scan conversion.

Abstract: A goalie training apparatus has a first plurality of semi-circular wedge-shaped barriers attached to an upper glide surface of a slide board along an arc and at least one other barrier attached to the upper glide surface separatedfrom the first plurality of barriers leaving a portion of the glide surface unobstructed. The arcuate faces of the barriers present multi-angular push-off points important for goalie training, as goalies must move in various directionswithin the goal crease. The barriers are preferably attached to the glide surface with high strength hook and loop fasteners, possibly in combination with bolts, screws or rivets. Wearing a foot covering with a low coefficient of friction in relation to the glide surface, a goalie stands atop the unobstructed glide surface and pushes a foot against one barrier and glides or shuffles along the glide surface to another barrier/push point. The second barrier may be a plurality of barriersand represents the goal or goal posts. The first plurality of barriers representtarget points in front of a goal that are important for goalies practicing "going out" and "cutting down" angles.

Title: Seamless fluid flow control system
Inventor: STEWART NEIL G
IPC: F16K7/06
Filed: 1997-10-07
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a seamless system for controlling the flow of fluids, such as liquids or compressed air, through a non-fragmented length of flexible tubing. It incorporates into a single system a number of functions currently performed with separate valves within conventional dental handpiece fluid flow control units. The invention can be fitted to an existing flexible fluid supply line, within a dental delivery system without destructive insertion or removal of any intermediary parts and without contact with the fluid medium itself. The invention is conceived to accommodate from the outside, three contiguous portions (a first, an intermediate and a second portion) of a non-fragmented length of flexible tubing. It comprises a tube holder for securing the first tubing portion, a tube guide for guiding the movement of the second tubing portion relative to the first portion thereby providing selectively a folding or unfolding action to the intermediate tubing portion, so as to prevent fluid flow in said tubing by folding the intermediate portion into a closed position, or to permit flow by unfolding the intermediate portion into an open position. It further comprises actuation means for moving back and forth the second tubing portion along the tube guide.

Granted: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of L-ascorbic acid 2-monophosphate comprises reacting a L--ascorbic acid 2-polyphosphate under alkaline conditions with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of L-ascorbic acid in concentrated aqueous solution, the amounts of the L-ascorbic acid salt and the alkaline earth metal hydroxide used as the base being arranged such that pH value of the reaction medium is held in the range of about 8 to about 11 and a stepwise transfer of in each case one phosphate group from the polyphosphate to the L-ascorbic acid salt takes place until essentially the polyphosphate has been consumed and only L-ascorbic acid 2-monophosphate salt is present. Preferably, the L--ascorbic acid 2-polyphosphate is produced in situ and calcium hydroxide is used as the base. Independently of whether the L-ascorbic acid 2--polyphosphate is produced separately or in situ, sodium trimetaphosphate is preferably used as the phosphorylating agent. A further aspect of the present invention comprises spray drying the mixture obtained after completion of the reaction, cooling and dilution to a suitable viscosity. The product of the process according to the invention is suitable as an additive for human and animal foodstuffs; it is especially stable against oxidative and thermal degradation and has an especially high content of L-ascorbic acid monophosphate vis-à-vis polyphosphates and is accordingly primarily of use preferably for the nutritional enrichment of fish feed.
