IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2007-04-19
Abstract: A wireless image source includes a computing device (2) and a driving device (3). The computing device (2) includes a processing unit (21) and a first transceiver unit (22). The processing unit (21) generates a control signal, and wirelessly outputs the control signal through the first transceiver unit (22). The control signal may comprise graphics primitives such as data related to a vertex of a triangle, texture data to apply to the triangle and special set up commands such as adding fog or perspective correction. The driving device (3) is coupled electrically to a remote display (41), and includes a second transceiver unit (31) and a graphics processing unit (32). The graphics processing unit (32) wirelessly receives the control signal through the second transceiver unit (31), converts the control signal into image content for displaying on the remote display (41), and wirelessly transmits a response signal to the computing device (2) through the second transceiver unit (31). The processing unit (21) receives the response signal through the first transceiver unit (22), and generates a subsequent control signal based on the response signal. Both of the computing device and driving device may optionally be connected to two or more displays.

Title: Aircraft lower-deck container and baggage handling method
Inventor: SMITH HAROLD
IPC: B64F1/32
Filed: 2008-06-27
Abstract: An aircraft lower-deck container 200 has compartments for receiving one or more items of passenger luggage, for example a conventional suitcase. The compartments 210 include opposing support surfaces 230 spaced from one another so that an item of luggage to be stored in the compartments may span between said support surfaces. The spacing defines a vertical pathway and is configured for permitting the passage of a conveyor device which is used loading and unloading operations between the support surfaces. In plan view, the shelves may have cut-outs (340, Fig.5), eg castellated shape, on their free ends and the conveyor device may have corresponding cantilever portions (360, Fig.5) arranged to pass through such cut outs in order to elevate wider items onto the shelves. The baggage handling method and arrangement shown is based on providing a loading station (130, Fig.1) behind the check-in (120, Fig.1) area for loading directly onto the aircraft container (140, Fig.1) which is then transported to the aircraft (150, Fig.1), with the check in area and the loading station in turn being as close to the departure gate and the aircraft, as possible. The loading station contemplates the loading operation to be arranged preferably via robotic arms, by producing relative movement of the container with respect to a static conveyor, relative movement of the conveyor with respect to a static container, or both conveyor and container being moved relative to each other.

Title: A method of controlling a double-clutch transmission so as to reduce friction losses
Inventor: KIRCHNER ECKHARD
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 2008-12-18
Abstract: A method of controlling a double-clutch transmission comprises in step 1 using a controller (5, fig 1) to check a mode, e.g. sports mode or economic mode, selected by mode selector (9), in step 2 a currently active gear is identified, in steps 3 and 5 a rotational speed of a drive shaft (3, fig 3) is compared with an upper or a lower shifting threshold, in steps 4 and 6 a next higher gear or next lower gear may be selected in dependence of the outcome of steps 3 and 5, in step 7 an accelerator pedal position is compared with a pre-determined threshold and if a gear shift is likely a waiting loop is entered, in step 8 a waiting loop is entered if a rate of change of the speed of the drive shaft (3) is above a predetermined threshold. The above steps determine that the transmission is in a steady state of operation in which a first one of sub-units (15, 17, 18, 22, 23, 29, 30) is in a shifting state associated to a gear and is bearing a load, whereas a second sub-unit (16, 19, 20, 24, 31, 32) is idle. If a steady state is detected, in step 9 the shifting state in which losses are smallest is determined and in step 10 the idle sub-unit is placed in the determined shifting state. A computer program that is recorded on a recording medium and executes the method is also disclosed.

Title: Borehole telemetry of well log data employing data reduction method
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2009-07-08
Abstract: A data reduction method for transmission of a borehole image to the surface of the earth using restricted band widths of LWD telemetry systems is based on the measurement physics rather than mathematical compression algorithms. Measured data 71 from a sensor are fitted, within the logging tool, to a response function relating sensor response to a parameter of interest. The coefficients 74 of the fitted response function are scaled 76 to a predetermined number of bits (e.g. 32) and then telemetered to the surface. The measured data are reconstructed 80 at the surface by combining the telemetered coefficients with the response function. A borehole image is formed by combining reconstructed reduced data. The response function may be a modified Gaussian function with five coefficients. Parameters of dipping beds intersecting the borehole can be determined from the coefficients. The method is suitable for low resolution imaging devices such as gamma ray, neutron and bulk density tools.

Thin biscuit wafers (not shown), are stripped from wafer baking plates (not shown), by a hot air blast and delivered from an oven O in the direction of an arrow A. They are received in a downwardly inclined channel 10 with a base formed by spring-mounted plastic covered guides 12, a series of air pipes 14 providing a cushioning effect. The biscuits slide on to a pair of movable guides 20 being braked by a brush 16 and coming to rest at a stop 18. In this position the biscuit interrupts the beams from a pair of photo-electric cells 22 which cause actuation of a solenoid (not shown) which results in operation of an air cylinder 24 which, by linkages 26, swings the movable guides 20 downwardly below the active surface of a pair of endless belts 28 so that the wafer biscuit is deposited on said surface and carried in the direction of an arrow B.
