Patent number: 8117926Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and equipment for preparing an analysis sample (2) for a continuous on-line analysis. According to the invention, a sample material (5) is taken by means of a sampling arrangement (4) from a material flow (24) that contains solid matter and liquid, whereby the sample material (5) is fed into a chamber (6); a layer of material (10), which contains coarse solid matter, depositing in the lower part of the chamber, and a layer of material (8), which contains liquid and fine solids, being separated from the sample material in the upper part of the chamber, whereby at least part of the material (8), which contains fine solids, is moved to the lower part (9) of the chamber (6), from where the analysis sample (2) that has a higher solids content than the sample material (5) is removed.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Outotec OyjInventors: Kari Mann, Timo Niitti, Christian Von Alfthan, Kari Saloheimo

Patent number: 7683501Abstract: An energy recovery system includes a ventilation system of a defined area, at least one windmill located exterior to the defined area and at least one flow guide apparatus positioned between the at least one exhaust and the at least one windmill. The ventilation system has at least one exhaust from which air from within the defined area is expelled out of the defined area by an exhaust fan as an exhaust air flow. The one or more flow guide apparatuses are positioned between the exhaust and the one or more windmills and are preferably sized and configured to redirect at least a portion of the exhaust air flow into an axial flow that moves toward one or more of the windmills.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2009Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Inventors: Robert M Berenda, Jack E Ferenci

Patent number: 7570319Abstract: A primary object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device being capable of displaying an image with large color reappearance area and a genuine hue and chroma, while controlling a displacement of white chromaticity caused by changes of viewing angles. The device includes: a light source; a back light controlling a luminous intensity distribution from the light source; and a liquid crystal display panel controlling a transmission rate of light from the back light. The maximum intensity of a light emitting spectrum of the back light is in a range of 510 nm to 530 nm in a wavelength range of 500 nm to 550 nm, wherein the liquid crystal panel includes a red color filter transmitting red components, a green color filter transmitting green components and a blue color filter transmitting blue components, and a transmit spectrum of the green color filter includes a half value of a maximum transmitting rate of 500 nm to 590 nm in a wavelength range.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2005Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kunifumi Nakanishi

Patent number: 7564969Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system for determining whether a data stream is in cyphertext format statistically analyzes the data stream to compute a resultant value indicative of a level of uniformity for a frequency distribution of the data stream's byte values. When applied to one or more files an average byte value may be computed for the data stream and a chi-square statistical analysis of the data bytes performed, with the resultant value computed based on the chi-square value. The resultant is then compared to a pre-determined threshold value to determine whether the file has been encrypted. The computer-readable medium has executable instructions for reading the data stream portions of files to compute a resultant value for each file and control an output device to display appropriate output. The encryption detection system comprises a storage device, an output device and a processor programmed in accordance with the foregoing.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Sytex, Inc.Inventor: Eric B. Cole

Patent number: 7454507Abstract: Upon reception of a data transmission request, an image input device 1 searches for transmission means available for transmission to a destination, such as transfer to FTP server or transmission by e-mail, and lists all the extracted available transmission means. Image input device 1 then creates a selection menu executed as an applet for receiving a selection of transmission methods from the destination. The destination can use the selection menu acquired from image input device 1 to designate the priority order of desired transmission means and a file name in reception of transmitted data. The selection menu thus created is transmitted to the image input device 1.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2003Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Nakata, Takeshi Morikawa, Tatsuya Tanigawa, Kiyoshi Emori

Patent number: 7429705Abstract: An exemplary weighing module is disclosed which has a load receiver and a weighing cell that are connected to each other by a force-transmitting rod, wherein the weighing module is arranged inside a design space whose dimensions in a plane extending orthogonal to the load direction are limited by the design spaces occupied by neighboring weighing cells or represent the largest dimension of the weighing cell in said plane. An exemplary weighing cell has a parallel-guiding mechanism in which at least one movable parallel leg which is connected to the force-transmitting rod and at least one stationary parallel leg are arranged with a predefined guiding distance from each other, connected to each other by at least one upper parallel-guiding member and at least one lower parallel-guiding member. The effective length of the parallel-guiding members is larger than the guiding distance, and the movable parallel leg does not protrude out of the design space.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2006Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Mettler-Toledo AGInventors: Dominique Genoud, Hans-Rudolf Burkhard, Jean-Christophe Emery

Patent number: 7405845Abstract: Dot characteristic points are first extracted from M-level image data by the dot characteristic point extracting device. A dot area identifying device subsequently identifies a dot area based on the results of the extraction carried out by the dot characteristic point extracting device. When the image attribute determination is completed, a parameter setting unit sets N-level conversion parameters based on the results of the determination carried out by the dot area identifying device. Consequently, N-level conversion takes place using the N-level conversion parameters appropriate for a dot area. Therefore, N-level conversion in which the occurrence of moire is prevented may be carried out regarding dot areas.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventor: Atsushi Ishikawa

Patent number: 7366318Abstract: A suspension, for the voice coil of a loudspeaker drive unit, includes an inner ring to be connected to the voice coil of the loudspeaker drive unit; an outer ring to be connected to the chassis of the loudspeaker drive unit; and a plurality of radial spoke-like members connecting the inner ring to the outer ring. The radial spoke-like members are free of compressive stress between their ends. The spoke-like members are of greater lateral stiffness than the spoke-like member?s and are substantially X-shaped.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2003Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: B&W Loudspeakers LimitedInventor: Stuart Michael Nevill

Patent number: 7328627Abstract: In a seat load detecting device, sensor bodies are interposed between an upper rail and respective lower brackets. Each sensor body includes an annular strain portion which axial line extends vertically, an outer peripheral holder which is mounted to the upper rail and which holds an outer peripheral edge of the strain portion, and an inner peripheral holder which is mounted to the lower bracket and which holds an inner peripheral edge of the strain portion. Strain gauges for detecting a load applied to a seat on the basis of a strain amount between an outer periphery and an inner periphery of each strain portion are disposed on each strain portion. A second clamping member of each inner peripheral holder has a mounting hole which is formed through the second clamping member in a widthwise direction thereof and which rockably connects the lower bracket.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2005Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideki Kawabata, Kan Ichihara, Muneto Inayoshi
