International Classification:

G06F 13/24

US Classification:

710263000

Abstract:

An embodiment is a method and apparatus to prevent the propagation of an error in a transmission from an I/O processor of a peripheral device to a host in a computer system utilizing a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI Express link. An embodiment detects an error in a transmission, may shut down the transmission path, and further intercepts the confirmation message before the confirmation message can be sent to the host

Abstract:

Identifying objects in images is a difficult problem, particularly in cases an original image is noisy or has areas narrow in color or grayscale gradient. A technique employing a convolutional network has been identified to identify objects in such images in an automated and rapid manner. One example embodiment trains a convolutional network including multiple layers of filters. The filters are trained by learning and are arranged in successive layers and produce images having at least a same resolution as an original image. The filters are trained as a function of the original image or a desired image labeling; the image labels of objects identified in the original image are reported and may be used for segmentation. The technique can be applied to images of neural circuitry or electron microscopy, for example. The same technique can also be applied to correction of photographs or videos.

International Classification:

G01N 11/16

US Classification:

73 5425, 73 5424

Abstract:

A viscosity measuring instrument for measuring ceramic slurries, e.g. in a casting tank, with a probe having an elbow and presenting a transducer part in substantial alignment with a flow direction of the ceramic slurry relative to the active part and a barrier orthogonal to such relative movement direction is interposed in front of the transducer part by one or more stand-off rods to form a partial enclosure that moderates flow to the active part and provides a long term stable measuring capability.

Appl. No.:

6/033396

Inventors:

Joseph E. Murray - Malden MA

International Classification:

A24F 130

US Classification:

131173

Abstract:

A smoking pipe having a pipe bowl with a smoke tube extending into a volume of filtering liquid in an enclosed reservoir. The shapes and dimensions of the smoke tube and liquid reservoir are selected in relation to the volume of liquid so that when the pipe is substantially upright, the end of the smoke tube extends into the liquid. A tubular pipe stem and associated valve extend from a reservoir port which is above the liquid top surface when the pipe is substantially upright. The physical characteristics of the smoke tube are related to the physical characteristics and volume of the filtering liquid and the shape and volume of the reservoir, so that when the pipe is inverted and the valve closes the passage through the pipe stem, there is substantially zero net force on a volume of liquid within the smoke tube due to the pressure differential across that volume, surface tensions between the liquid and the tube and gravitational force on that volume.

International Classification:

G09F 1900

US Classification:

40410

Abstract:

A decorative kinetic device which includes a transparent hollow dome containing a fluid and a plurality of small particles. The dome is open on its bottom and is mounted on a base having a pumping chamber formed therein. The top of the pumping chamber, which serves as the bottom of the dome, includes an intake hole and an outlet hole to provide flow paths between the dome and the pumping chamber. A pump impeller is positioned within the pumping chamber to circulate the fluid and the particles, the impeller being rotated by a motor positioned in the base below the pumping chamber. An extension member is attached to and extends vertically upward from the pump impeller into the dome and is adapted to receive a decorative object. A transport tube having an intake port and an outlet port is positioned in the dome such that the intake port is connected to the outlet hole of the pumping chamber and the outlet port of the transporting tube is positioned near the top of the dome. Rotation of the impeller causes the fluid and the particles to be drawn through and out of the pumping chamber into and through the transport tube, out of the transport tube near the top of the dome and down through the dome to the pumping chamber again.

International Classification:

G03B 1734
G03B 1753

US Classification:

354 83

Abstract:

A switching device for use in a fully automatic camera including a chamber for receiving and locating a disposable cassette therein such that a foremost member of an assemblage, including photosensitive film units in stacked relation and a dark slide cover in superposition thereto, is positioned at an exposure station of the camera. The device may be manually or automatically activated to initiate actuation of a film advancing apparatus for removing the foremost member from within the cassette and the exposure station and to advance the foremost member to a processing station within the camera whereupon the foremost member, in the case of a film unit, is processed and delivered through an opening to the exterior of the camera. The device is automatically activated when the cassette is inserted into the receiving chamber and secured therein by the movement of a loading access door from an open to a closed, latched position whereupon the dark slide cover is removed from within the camera. The device is manually activated by the action of an operator depressing an actuator included upon the camera to initiate exposure of the foremost photosensitive film unit and, subsequent to exposure, to remove the exposed film unit from within the camera.

F16L 3724

US Classification:

350561

Abstract:

A telescope system having a main housing and at least two interchangeable viewing assemblies. The main housing contains an objective lens assembly for producing an inverted primary image, a field lens, and a combination power adjusting zoom and image erecting lens assembly for producing an erect secondary image. The interchangeable viewing assemblies are selectively coupled to the main housing to provide either straight through or offset viewing of the erect secondary image. The offset viewing assemblies contain an image-convertor to provide erect offset viewing. The viewing assemblies have bayonet couplers which engage a bayonet receiver on the main housing to provide detachable coupling. The main housing has a retractable lock pin which locks the selected viewing assembly to the main housing while the telescope system is in use.
