Shape sorting

In order to provide an accurate sort into may different classes, objects are passed through a viewing zone and viewed at the same instant by a number of viewers. Signals from the viewers are processed to provide signals representative of the maximum, minimum and mean of the blockiness and symmetry of the object, and the maximum and mean of the convex hull deviance of the object. The signals, together with an edge-breakthrough count are subjected to a linear transformation to provide a normalised shape parameter which is then assigned a value of 0 to 15, for each class being sorted, on the basis of the expected occurrence of the value of the parameter in that class. Each pair of secondary shape parameters so determined is used to derive a decision value from the table specific for that pair of secondary shape parameters. The shape class of the object is ascertained on the basis of a majority vote for all the shape decision values. The tables are "learnt" by the machine by feeding a statistically significant number of samples representative of a number of shape classes through the machine.

Power controller with voltage-controlled circuit breaker

A power controller (100) comprises a manually-on circuit breaker (112) having an electrically-actuable trip coil (142) which enables the circuit breaker (112) to be tripped-off electrically. The circuit breaker (112) is connected to a voltage source and provides operating voltage to a power outlet (124, 126). A line voltage monitor (116) provides a voltage indication (FH, FL) to a logic control circuit (118) when the operating voltage moves outside a predetermined range estab­lished by setting upper and lower operating voltage limits. In response to receiving such a voltage indication (FH, FL), the logic control circuit (118) deenergizes a relay (K1), thereby connecting a charged capacitor (C13) to the tripping coil (142) of the circuit breaker (112) to cause the breaker (112) to be tripped-off even when the voltage to the circuit breaker (112) drops to zero volts. Other signals provided to the control logic circuit (118) also cause the deenergizing of the relay (K1) controlling the circuit breaker tripping capacitor (C13). A logic control timing circuit enables the circuit breaker (112) to latch on when it is manually turned on and while the operating voltage is stabilizing in the line voltage monitor (116). The power controller apparatus (100) may include at least one switched power outlet (124) connected for receiving operating voltage from the circuit breaker (112) and includes a switch (122) for enabling the switched power outlet (124) to be selectively turned on and off while the circuit breaker (112) is tripped on.

A compressor (10) includes a prime mover (16) having an output element (18) which supplies a motive force produced by the prime mover, a compression module having an input element (20), motive force transmitting means (17) for transmitting the motive force from the prime mover to the compression module, said motive force transmitting means connecting the output and input elements, and said means having a predetermined required tension. Self-adjusting means (50) is provided applying a substantially constant tensioning force to the motive force, transmitting means to maintain the predetermined required tension in the motive force transmitting means substantially constant.

Sistema de modulacion de duracion de impulsos desiguales.

EN UN SISTEMA DE MODULACION DE ANCHURA DE PULSO, PARA USO EN UN BUS DIFERENCIAL DENTRO DE UN AUTOMOVIL, EL PERIODO SIMBOLO ES DIVIDIDO EN TRES INTERVALOS (T1,T2,T3) DE DURACION DESIGUAL. EN PARTICULAR T2 ES MAS LARGO QUE T1, Y T3 ES MAS LARGO QUE T2.

Unequal pulse width modulation system

In a pulse width modulation system, for use in a differential bus within an automobile, the symbol period is divided into three intervals (T1, T2, T3) of unequal duration. In particular T2 is longer than T1, and T3 is longer than T2.
