A door hingedly connected to a suitable frame structure by means of hinge structure for enabling the door to be swingably moved about the opposite side extremities of the door. A first pair of rotary bearings are mounted on the upper and lower ends of the door adjacent one extremity thereof, which bearings have arcuate slots therein which coact with arcuate projections provided on the frame and disposed for coaction with the first pair of bearings. A second pair of rotary bearings are mounted on...

Systems and methods for determining an inconsistency characteristic of a composite structure, such as inconsistency density-per-unit area. In one implementation, a method is disclosed for determining an inconsistency characteristic of a composite structure. The method involves determining a first distance from a first reference point of the composite structure to an inconsistency; determining a second distance from a second reference point of the composite structure to the inconsistency; using t...

A digital image signal is divided into blocks. Each of the divided blocks is subjected to orthogonal transformation. As a result, the divided blocks are transformed into several frequency components. One or more frequency components are selected in accordance with a characteristic amount that is extracted from the several frequency components. Values of the selected frequency components are operated under a predetermined rule in accordance with an embedment signal that is generated from embedmen...

A safety-lock mechanism for use with a multi-position window having a stationary window frame, a sash window frame positioned within the stationary window frame and selectively pivotable out of the stationary window frame about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, and a drive train positioned between the sash window frame and the stationary window frame, the drive train being moveable between at least a first position which enables the sash window frame to be pivoted about the horizontal axis ...

Systems, methods, and software to automatically detect print defects in printed matter. Some embodiments include receiving a reference image and a scanned image, wherein the reference image and the scanned image are of the same subject matter and generating a plurality of detail maps of the reference image and the scanned image at each one or more resolutions to derive one or more detail maps of each image at each resolution. The detail maps, in some embodiments, are generated by identifying dif...

A method of identifying colon polyps in a digital volume, wherein the volume includes a plurality of values corresponding to a domain of points in a 3D space, is provided. The method includes selecting a mother wavelet scaling function that corresponds to a polyp; performing a forward wavelet transformation on the volume to obtain a set of wavelet coefficients, wherein each wavelet coefficient is associated with a length scale; determining, for each length scale, a transformation magnitude; and ...

This invention pertains to an extrusion head for producing a resistant element of a conveyor belt or the like, the particular resistant structure of which comprises metal wires or threads of various diametrical dimensions. The extrusion head is capable of producing a tube of uncured elastomeric material in which longitudinal metal wires or threads are embedded during its formation. The tube is then cut along one of its generatrices by suitable means and is converted to a flat band.

This invention relates to a hatch opening on two opposite sides, which is mounted on a frame by articulation means disposed on two opposite faces of the hatch and the frame, wherein the articulation means comprise a plurality of pairs of lugs respectively integral with the hatch and the frame, at least one pair of which comprises a lug integral with the hatch which presents a housing open on one side, constituting a bearing in which is pivotally mounted a pin fixed to another lug integral with t...

An elastomeric composition comprising an EPDM copolymer rubber; a sulfur curative for the copolymer rubber; about 5-15 parts by weight per 100 parts copolymer rubber of a chlorosulfonated polyolefin which contains 20-50 weight percent chlorine and 0.2-1.5 weight percent sulfur; and about 0.25-1 parts by weight per 100 parts copolymer rubber of a diamine-generating curing agent.
