Title: Method for determining the position of an automated guided vehicle
Inventor: HOLMQUIST FREDRIK
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1998-10-13
Granted: 2002-12-12
Abstract: A method for position finding of an automated guided vehicle using detection of angle positions for anonymous reflectors (R1-R11). The anonymous reflectors are arranged in positions in a limited transport area, and the positions are stored. A concentrated beam (B) is emitted from a vehicle (10) and is made to pass over a search sector. The angle position in relation to a reference direction (D) of the vehicle (10) in reflective objects is continually detected during the sweep of the beam over the search sector, and corresponding angle values are determined. Initially the following measures are taken for association of the angle positions to physical reflectors, and for determination of the position of the vehicle (10); i) at least three angle values with a suitable distribution over the search sector is selected, ii) the angle values are associated to reflectors and a position is determined for the vehicle on the basis of the known position of the assumed reflectors, iii) if the vehicle position determined in this way is within a certain part of the transport area the other angle values are associated to reflectors, iv) for each angle value, existing deviation is determined between detected angle values and angle values expected between the vehicle position and known reflectors, v) the measures taken are repeated for each possible combination of selected angle values. A combination of associations with the best possible agreement on the vehicle position is selected, whereby the position and direction of the vehicle is determined.

Title: Dry air ventilation for speed boat - closes air inlet before water can reach it using paddle wheel slowed down by water
IPC: B63J2/02
Filed: 1969-01-27
Abstract: The fresh air supply for a high speed power boat is gathered by a forward-facing air inlet (8). The air is ducted (7) inside the cabin canopy (6) to the engine compartment at the rear. Some of the air flow in the duct (7) is diverted into the cabin by rear-facing nozzles (15). Forward-facing nozzles (16), at the rear, exhaust cabin air back into the duct. A rotary valve (10) shuts off the air inlet (8) when water is about to enter. The presence of water is detected by a motor (14) driven paddle wheel running in a recess (11), ahead of the air inlet. Water slows the paddle down and the motor draws more current. The increased current operates a relay which closes the valve (10). The air inlet slopes downward ahead of the valve to allow water to run out.

IPC: C22B59/00
Filed: 1987-03-18
Abstract: Rare earth chlorides and oxychlorides can be reduced to substantially pure rare earth metals by a novel, high yield, metallothermic process. The rare earth chloride feedstock is dispersed in a vessel (22) containing a suitable molten chloride salt bath (44) and a molten metal collection pool (43). Enough sodium, potassium and/or calcium is added to the bath (44) to produce a stoichiometric excess of calcium metal with respect to the rare earth present. The bath (44) is stirred and heated so that the calcium metal reduces the rare earth feedstock to the rare earth metal. Stirring is then stopped and the reduced rare earth metal is collected in the metal pool (43) in the reaction vessel (22).

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting the practice of the mother tongue or a foreign language, with a view to total assimilation thereof, comprises a standard signal generator constituted by a mobile support of sound recordings on which are previously recorded, independently of one another, blocks of phrases or words, expressed in the language to be assimilated by a subject. A reader of these blocks of information emits the standard signals. An analysis and comparison circuit compares a standard signal and a vocal signal which corresponds to the word pronounced by the user, based on at least one parameter. When the vocal signal is not within a predetermined tolerance of the standard signal, the standard signal is repeated. If the vocal signal is within the tolerance, the next standard signal is generated. In this way, the user repeats each word until he pronounces it correctly.

Abstract: A video signal received from a source (10) is bandwidth-compressed by filters (12, 14, 16), filter (14) being a temporal filter and filter (16) being a spatial filter. Selection of the filter to be used is dependent upon picture content. The transmitter reconstitutes in interpolators (44, 46) the signal which would be regenerated at the receiver, determines which filter gives the best results, and transmits an indication of which filter has been used in a digital signal associated with the analogue video signal. Preferably a determination of motion vectors associated with the signal is made and the digital signal indicates which of the determined motion vectors is applicable to different areas of te picture. By transmitting the control signal digitally with the analogue video signal the receiver circuitry is greatly simplified while its reliability is improved.
