Patent EP-0295703-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHMIDT WALTER RICHARD
IPC: D04B9/12

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a patterned plush article by binding one of at least two plush threads into the stitches together with the basic thread. Problems with the supply of the running plush threads to the knitting position are avoided by the measure that each plush thread, immediately upon its arrival at pre-sinking edges, is drawn by plush forming sinkers into loops which have the necessary thread reserve for the plush loop and the knitting process, so that no plush thread movement is any longer necessary. By contrast, the basic thread is enclosed in the customary way in the grooves of the plush forming sinkers, and runs to the knitting position. Compared with a pre-sinking of the basic thread also, which permits higher thread laying positions of the needles, so that all the plush threads can be supplied to the needle hooks directly, this offers the advantage of significantly reduced system width as a consequence of reduced needle movement and also the possibility of knitting the basic thread with the plush threads while the latter are held controlled at plush forming edges, so that precise loop lengths and also very short loops can be formed. Without pre-sinking of the basic thread also, however, the needles, in the uppermost possible thread laying position, are positioned with their hooks only just above the pre-sinking edge, so that a pushing of the thus supplied plush thread into the needle hooks takes place by means of thread laying sinkers. Since the other needles are at this moment below the pre-sinking edge, this nevertheless rules out any inadvertent gripping of the thus pushed-in plush thread by other needles. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing, dispensing, and applying surgical staples includes a pistol-like tool (21) having a handle portion (22) with a manually movable trigger lever (28), and a rotatable barrel portion (23, 24, 26) with a staple track for storing staples in parallel, stacked, column fashion, the axis of the column extending generally colinearly with the barrel axis. The staples are urged distally in the track, and the distal track portion is curved out of axial alignment so that the distal staples are urged into points-first alignment. A form tool is slidably disposed in the barrel portion and adapted to advance and urge the distal-­most staple against an anvil tool to crimp the staple. The form tool includes a drag spring which engages the distal-most staple in the staple track as the form tool retracts after a crimping cycle, pulling the distal-most staple from the track into a dispensing position for the next dispensing cycle. A drive block connected to the form tool and the trigger lever (28) is mounted in the apparatus for reciprocal translation along a coaxial drive track. The drive block includes a pawl engaging ratchet teeth in the drive track, so that the block is urged distally by trigger actuation and proximal translation is prevented.   The pawl includes a release slide actuated by translation of the block to the distal end of the drive track, coincident with full distal translation of the form tool and crimping of the dispensed staple, the release slide disengaging the pawl and allowing the drive block to return proximally.

Abstract: For processing data relating to the performance of an apparatus, analysis of measurement data is performed using the Kalman Filter. The results of a first pass of the data through the filter are refined by discarding at least one less significant component change and;or sensor bias and the Kalman Filter is re-run using the thus modified data. Further runs of the Kalman Filter are performed, as required, in each the input being refined by discarding from the preceding run at least one further value. For each run an objective function is evaluated for the amount of unexplained measurement change and.or the amount of component change and sensor bias and the run whose results show an acceptable value for the objective function is selected as the best solution. In this way, the tendency of the Kalman Filter to distribute the cause of any sensed performance change over all the possible sources of that change is avoided. The invention also includes a method of analysing a number of sets of measurement data to determine levels and/or trends in component performance and sensor bias.

Abstract: A crosstalk cancelling circuit for use in video tape recorders. The cancelling circuit comprises a first multiplier for multiplying a frequency-lowered conversion chrominance signal reproduced from a magnetic tape by a local oscillating signal with a predetermined frequency and a delay device for delaying the frequency-lowered conversion chrominance signal by one horizontal scanning period. The local oscillating signal is further supplied to a phase-shifting circuit which in turn produce either a signal leading the local oscillating signal by a phase angle of 90° and a signal lagging the local oscillating signal by a phase difference of 90° in synchronism with a field frequency of the frequency-lowered conversion chrominance signal. Also included in the cancelling circuit is a second multiplier for multiplying the output of the delay device by the output of the phase-shifting circuit, the output of which is fed to an operation circuit for effecting addition or subtraction between the output of the first multiplier and the output of the second multiplier to output the result as a carrier chrominance signal.

Abstract: A system and method for performing error correction on an SFAT format video signal which has been encoded using an error correction code ECC2, and generating a video signal reconstructed from the error-­corrected input signal. The error code preferably is a cross interleave Reed-Solomon code. In a preferred embodiment, the system is capable of reconstructing the output video signal so that it has either SFA or SFAT format. Since an SFAT signal includes duobinary encoded data in its active video areas, and thus may be doubly error encoded using two error correction codes (ECC1 and ECC2), the invention is capable of generating from such a doubly encoded signal an ECC1 error-encoded video signal, in SFA (or SFAT) format, which has been error-­corrected using error code ECC2. This capability is particularly advantageous where the invention is embodied in a video disk mastering system or method. In a preferred embodiment, the invention also determines the error rate of the input signal and generates a report signal indicative of the input signal's detected error rate. A preferred embodiment of the invention performs both error correction and error detection on-­line, in real time, and automatically.

Abstract: An optical memory system comprises light beam generating means for generating a plurality of light beams; a recording medium comprising a plurality of guide grooves for guiding each of the light beams, and ID sections utilised for identifying a guide groove on which each of the light beams is projected; a plurality of photo-detectors for detecting the intensity of the reflected light or transmitted light of each of the light beams projected on the recording medium; a plurality of comparators for converting a signal released from each of the photo-detectors into a binary signal; a majority logic circuit for issuing a signal whose level is equivalent to the levels of the signals released from the majority of the comparators and a moving amount detector for detecting the moving amount of the said light beams by counting the number of pulses in the pulse signal released from the majority logic circuit when the light beams move in a direction perpendicular to the guide grooves. This optical memory system is designed such that at least either the plurality of light beams or the plurality of ID sections of the guide grooves are so arranged that at least more than half of the light beams or more than half of the ID sections are not   overlapped in a parallel direction to the guide grooves whereby the number of light beams projected on the ID sections at the same time is limited to less than half of the total number of light beams projected on the recording medium. Accordingly, even when the light beams are moved in a perpendicular direction to the guide grooves, the number of pulses in the pulse signal is not influenced by ID signals or the like but coincident with the number of the guiding grooves through which the light beams have actually passed. With use of the optical memory system having such an arrangement, the accurate moving amount of a light beam is obtained resulting in high accuracy of access operation.
