An outlet box assembly in which the position of the box is slidably adjustable along an arm of the bracket which mounts the box to the wall. Slidably supported to one of the plurality of walls defining the outlet box is a bracket which has a support arm extending substantially parallel to the side wall of the box and a mounting arm extending substantially perpendicular thereto. The bracket support arm has a plurality of openings to engage the outlet box and the mounting arm secures the box to th...

In each of two images obtained by a digital radiography system, for example, a mask image and a live image, two regions of interest are set by a cutout position setting section. Images within corresponding regions of interest are subjected to subtraction in a subtraction processing section. By calculating the entropy of one of two subtraction images in an entropy calculating section, amounts of shift to make the entropy local minimum is searched for. By using the amounts of shift to make the ent...

A hinge lid for a container including a means for attaching the lid to the container. The attaching means has an exterior and an interior, the interior being proximate to the container when the attaching means is in place on the container. The hinged lid further includes a cover connected to the attaching means in a connection area. The cover has an exterior and an interior, the interior being proximate to the container when the cover is closed. A hinge is located in the connection area. The hin...

A support member (2), on which the object is intended to rest, and a base member (1) which carries the support member. The base member (1) consists mainly of a fixed frame (6) and an expanding column (9) hinged to the frame which carries the support member (2). The column by expansion or contraction can raise or lower the support member. Between the frame and the column is attached a control contrivance (13) for positioning the column between different swing positions. At a lower end position, i...

A cargo platform system particularly structured for use with, e.g., a truck body's cargo opening. The system includes a mast asembly with a mast guide and a mast movably supported by the guide, the mast assembly being fixed to one vertical side edge of the cargo opening. A cargo platform is pivotally connected to the mast, the platform being swingable relative to the mast between a horizontal elevator position and a vertical storage position. A latch system partially carried by the mast guide an...

A display is disclosed to include a base, a post coupled to the base through a ball and socket joint for free adjustment at different angles, a holder assembly coupled and movable along the post, a locking device mounted in the holder assembly for locking the holder assembly to the post at the desired height, and a screen pivotally coupled to a pivot member at the holder assembly.

The present invention relates to a door check mechanism providing infinite stable positions with applications more specifically in the area of motor vehicles, comprising on the one hand an articulated guiding arm (1), mounted to the vehicle body or to the door, and on the other hand a mechanism (9), mounted to the other part, either the door or the vehicle body, in such a way that guiding arm (1) penetrates through mechanism (9) with a relative displacement between these two parts, the wedging f...

An image sensor including a substrate, at least one metal layer, and a plurality of pixels arranged in array. Each pixel includes a sense element disposed in the substrate and at least one metal interconnect segment disposed in the at least one metal layer. The array includes a pair of perpendicular axes extending from an optical center, wherein for a line of pixels extending perpendicularly from one of the axes to a peripheral edge of the array a spacing between the sense elements of consecutiv...

A method for detecting an interval of recorded positions, including the steps of recording a first pattern group in such a way that the recording heads scan a recording medium so that recording elements record a pattern having repeatedly dark density area and light density area perpendicular to a scanning direction of the recording head, recording a second pattern group in such a way that the recording heads scan the recording medium so that recording elements record a pattern having repeatedly ...

The invention comprises an information carrier on which the position of a measuring point (37, 41) may be determined using a mobile readout device, as well as an attendant method of determining a position wherein the information carrier features a surface onto which a visible primary information has been applied, in the manner of a book or a geographic map, wherein at least one machine-readable pattern has been printed on the surface, said pattern coding a position information, which upon bringi...
