Abstract: Media and devices that exploit the possibility of encoding multiple channels of spatially structured information into single images, by exploiting temporal modulation of color and brightness, are proposed. Applications include relief of color blindness, producing images enriched with normally “invisible” information from infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization, and effectively adding new perceptible colors within the visible spectrum.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to provide enriched human-perceptible signals indicative of a parameter of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the apparatus and reflected from an object.

Abstract: A hydraulic connection includes a connecting nipple, preferably of steel or of another metal, whereby, on the nipple's tube-shaped extension, a hydraulic hose is held by compression by means of a fitting. A swelling element is arranged between the extension and the hydraulic hose, the element being swellable in the hydraulic fluid. If hydraulic fluid were to advance through to the swelling element, the element will swell and block the path to more hydraulic fluid. Furthermore, by swelling, the element deforms the hydraulic hose in a radially outward direction. In this region, the hydraulic hose is held by a fitting in the form of a metal sleeve so that the hose may not be displaced. In this manner, the force of pressure on the hydraulic hose is increased in an annular zone.

Abstract: Feed forward neural network models for associative content addressable memory utilize a first level matrix of resistor connections to store words and compare addressing cues with the stored words represented by connections of unit resistive value, and a winner-take-all circuit for producing a unary output signal corresponding to the word most closely matched in the first matrix. The unary output signal is converted to a binary output code, such as by a suitable matrix. Cues are coded for the address input as binary 1=+V, binary 0=-V, and unknown =0V. Two input amplifiers are employed with two input conductors for each input bit position, one noninverting and the other inverting, so that the winner-take-all circuit at the output of the first matrix may be organized to select the highest number of matches with stored words as the unary output signal.
