The vehicle carries a single fixed camera (24) producing digital images at a rate such that each object appears in more than two successive images. The position and direction of the vehicle are measured by inertial navigation (12) and checked by GPS (14). Each object is recognised from comparison of its images with a stored library (26). It is tracked (38) through successive images by prediction a...

The transport container can have a casing (10) with a base (12) and a side wall (14,16,18,20). The container can have multiple rigid receptacles (24,70) each having a closed base, a side wall (32) and an upper open end. Each receptacle receives a blood bag. There are elastic retainers (26) to hold each receptacle in the casing. Each retainer has an elastic strip with one end fixed to the base of ...

A refrigerant distribution unit 10 is an integrated structure comprising: a multiplicity of branch tubes 12a-12c connectable with a multiplicity of indoor units 1a-1c; a distributor 11, connected with one refrigerant tube 5a extending from an outdoor unit for receiving refrigerant from the outdoor unit, the distributor distributing the refrigerant to the multiple branch tubes 12a-12c; and electric...

The present invention teaches the use of an effervescent nozzle to deliver liquid catalyst to a gas phase polymerization system.

A mounting arrangement for a pendulum in a downhole drift indicator comprises a plunger and a pendulum defining respective normally spaced apart first and second surfaces, and a pivot connection between the plunger and pendulum including a connecting pivot member. On the pivot connection being subject to a predetermined load the first and second surfaces engage to limit the load experienced by the...

An acoustic logging tool, useful for measuring the acoustic velocity of ultrasonic waves in formations surrounding an earth borehole, and also as an acoustic caliper tool, determines the shape and dimensions of an earth borehole, and includes one or many acoustic transceivers 56-60 mounted in substantially the same plane, in a drill string sub. The mounting receptacles are located in blocks, flexi...

The power train of a motor vehicle employs an automated transmission and an automated clutch between the transmission and the combustion engine. The clutch is automatically disengaged prior to, and is automatically reengaged after, each selection of a particular gear of the transmission. A common first actuator (such as a reversible stepping motor) is employed to select the condition of the clutch...

To extract the spinal chord from a carcass, the carcass is suspended from a support frame for at least the first and second vertebrae to be cut and lifted. A hollow rigid tube is fed in by a flange, closed at one end, to pass into the medullar channel through the access at the first and second vertebrae, to penetrate through to the final lumbar vertebra. The tube is connected to a compressed air s...

The present invention is a method of using a laser to coagulate blood vessels and, in particular, using wavelengths between 580-1000 nm delivered in a multiple pulse technique. The fluence required for photocoagulation and irreversible vessel injury is delivered in a sequence of pulses which allows for cumulative heating of the irradiated vessel. Each pulse utilizes a subthreshold fluence delivere...

A method of transferring media files over a communications network, typically the Internet. The files are divided by the provider computer into a series of encoded files which are maintained in the provider computer and are transferred over the communications network in a specific sequence to receiving computer. A user loadable program is also maintained in the provided computer and that together ...

A process for the preparation of continuously variable-composition copolymers by effecting gradual changes in monomer composition during the polymerization is disclosed. Poly(meth)acrylate copolymers made by the process of the present invention have improved lubricating oil additive properties, for example, as pour point depressants, when compared to related polymer additives made by conventional ...

The razor has a grille (13) with slots (14) which allow hair to enter for cutting by translating or rotating cutters. The degree of skin protuberance through the slots may be continuously detected by treating it as a light barrier to light moving over the grille surface. Light from an electroluminescent diode (22) travels through fibre optics (21a) to the edge of a slot which it crosses to enter ...

The razor has a body (5) and a head (7) with slotted shaving grilles (13). The head is supported on springs and moves relative to the body according to the friction encountered. This movement is detected by an electro-optical system (20). Light is transmitted along a fibre optics (21) to a target (35) on the head. Reflected light returns along the same path and if this shows that target movement a...
