Patent EP-0516080-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SUZUKI MINORU
IPC: B21D26/08
Filed: 1992-05-27
Abstract: A method for generating an underliquid shock pressure comprises the steps of igniting a combustible mixture gas to form detonation waves, imploding the detonation waves in their advancing direction, propagating a pressure obtained by imploding the detonation waves to a liquid, and converting the pressure to an underliquid pressure which is applied to a workpiece. The pressure obtained by imploding the detonation waves may be applied directly to an elastic rubber body (G), thus converting the pressure to an underelastomer shock pressure, which is then applied to the workpiece via the elastic body. An apparatus for generating an underliquid shock pressure comprises a combustion chamber (1) whose cross-sectional area decreases from one end toward the other end of the chamber, an ignition chamber (4) to which fuel is fed and in which a spark plug (5) is positioned, a plurality of guidance paths (2) extending from the ignition chamber (4) and communicating with one end of the combustion chamber (1), each of the guidance paths (2) having substantially the same length, and a pressure medium chamber (12) connected to an opening of the other end of the combusiton chamber (1) having the smallest cross-sectional area. The pressure at the smallest cross-sectional area end of the combustion chamber (1) is applied to a liquid to convert the pressure into underliquid shock pressure, which is then applied to a workpiece either directly or via an elastic body interposed between the liquid and the workpiece.

Abstract: In order to detect foreign fibres, a thread or yarn (3) is passed through a measurement area which is constructed as a flat slot (2) in an optically transparent body (1). The body (1) has inwardly reflecting and/or diffusely reflecting outer surfaces (5). Light is injected into this body by means of a plurality of light sources (D1 to D3), so that the thread (3) in the measurement area is acted on by light on all sides. The light sources (D1 to D3) are positioned and matched to one another such that the reflected brightness of the thread (3) which is picked-up by a sensor (4) in the absence of a foreign fibre essentially corresponds to the brightness of the measurement area background. The measurement is thus independent of the thread thickness. As a result of this measurement area arrangement, the thread can be inserted in the same way as in conventional thread cleaners. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a surface adjustable bent housing for use in a downhole drilling motor assembly includes a lower housing that is coupled by a threaded connection to a mandrel that is pivotally mounted in an upper housing by a ball-type joint and a pair of radial keys. A stack of rings having inclined end faces is mounted on the mandrel between the opposed ends of the upper and lower housing members so that the relative orientation of the rings creates a bend angle in the assembly that is rigidly maintained when the threaded connection is tightened against the rings. Longitudinal splines are used to couple the rings to the mandrel, which are selectively released during adjustment. Compressive loads due to bending moment are carried on the outer annular surfaces of the rings to provide a relatively stiff joint.

Abstract: A method for varying the color of an image including lines and background. Where the image includes the colors black and white and a plurality of gray pixels, where gray refers to the presence of pixel values between the maximum and minimum pixel values, inclusive, the image is first converted to a color space, such as for example, r, g, b (red-green-blue). Pixel values are thresholded for differentiation between lines and background. When pixels have a value indicating that the pixel is background, that pixel is set to a background color that has been previously selected. Otherwise, that pixel is set to a foreground color. The result is that background is set to a single color, and lines are set to a second color. Alternatively, where intermediate values are present, the foreground color value may be added to the intermediate level color value to produce a gradually varying colored line.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed for interactively editing a palette of colors in response to signals from a user. The interface provides a color space in a color space window on the user's display and draws all colors in the palette, each color in its current location in the color space. One of the color spaces available is the uniform CIELAB color space. The interface stores all color representations as device independent color specifications in the uniform color space. The user edits a color by moving it from its current location to a destination location, or by changing its lightness coordinate. The interface also provides for storing a plurality of colorimetrically measured colors representing the display gamut and the gamut of one or more target hardcopy output devices, and provides for displaying a requested gamut in the color space. When the user edits a color while the display gamut is visible in the color space, a gamut clipping process ensures that the modified color is producible in the display gamut. When the gamut of a hardcopy output device is displayed, the user may manually control the appearance of a color on the output device by moving a color from a current location outside the target gamut to a destination location inside the gamut. A gamut clipping process ensures that the modified color is producible in the target gamut. When the user moves a color from inside a displayed target gamut to outside the gamut, a gamut constraining process prevents the color from being moved beyond the boundaries of the gamut. Modifications to palette colors are stored for future use.

Abstract: After producing the weld, a heat chart of the weld and of the thermally affected zone in the vicinity of the weld is established and a check is made that the temperature of selected points of this heat chart lies between predetermined maximum and minimum values specific to each of these points. For this purpose, a transverse scan of the weld bead is performed, this transverse direction being related to the direction of the bead, at a plurality of points distributed along the bead and with as short a delay as possible in relation to the welding at these points, and the temperature of a plurality of areas located along the scanning path is measured. A plurality of transverse temperature profiles of the weld and of the thermally affected zone in the vicinity of the weld are thus determined, the measured profiles are compared with at least one transverse reference-temperature profile and a signal is produced indicating that the deviation between at least one of the measured transverse profiles and at least one of the reference transverse profiles has reached or exceeded a predetermined value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus designed to produce data from asymmetrical echo data and reconstruct an MR image, in the following way. First, inverse Fourier transformation is performed on center echo data, thereby producing phase data (311). Then, the phase data is inverted in polarity, thereby producing polarity-inverted phase data (312). Next, Fourier transformation is performed on the polarity-inverted phase data in a readout direction, producing phase-correction data (313). Further, inverse Fourier transformation is performed on the asymmetrical echo data in an encode direction. The phase-correction data and the echo data are convoluted in the readout direction, thereby producing echo data free of phase distortion. Unmeasured echo data is inferred from the convoluted data by utilizing complex conjugate property of the echo data (316). Finally, inverse Fourier transformation is performed on the convoluted data and the inferred data in the readout direction, thereby producing an image free of phase distortion (317).
