Abstract: A device in which a displaced member will automatically return to its rest position after a delay comprises a container partially filled with a viscous fluid. The container is mounted so that it can be moved between a first, stable (rest) position and a second, semistable position in which the fluid will flow slowly away from its rest position. When the fluid has moved away from its rest position sufficiently, it will cause the center of gravity of the container to shift to one side of a pivot, whereupon the container will make an automatically delayed return to its first position. The container is employed as a box lid which will close automatically a predetermined time after being opened so that it can be used as an interval timer and/or a scent release mechanism. The container is also mounted in a human novelty figure in such a manner that if it is tipped over it will return automatically to an upright position after a predetermined delay.

The left-hand station (20) indicates the actual hour of the day and the right-hand station (30) indicates the next hour of the day so that display (30) always indicates one hour past the time shown by display (20). A series of lamps (40) between the two stations are used to form a bar-graph display of the minutes of the hour. A number of display modalities are possible. Electronic and mechanical versions of the timepiece are shown.

Abstract: In a receiver for pulsed ultrasonic beams, it is sometimes desirable to translate the received signal to a lower carrier frequency by a heterodyne process. It is also often desirable to vary the receiving channels' gain during the period when signals are being received from a single transmitted pulse, to compensate for the attenuation of later-arriving signals from a greater distance. To get both the heterodyne and the time-gain control functions in a prior-art receiver of N channels requires 2 mixers in each channel, or 2N mixers. According to the invention, the heterodyne and the time-gain control signals are combined in one master mixer and fed to all the channel mixers. The only N+1 mixers are required.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting the peak voltage at the load end of a power transmission cable having a power supply end and a load end, where direct measurement at the load end is not practical. The method samples the current and voltage waveforms at the power supply end of the cable. The current waveform is used to estimate a current function which includes a full width at half maximum approximation adjusted as required for load, cable type, and cable length. The product of the current function and a peak voltage sample from the power supply end is an estimate of the peak voltage at the load end. The method and apparatus have been applied to oil well logging where one or more logging tools are lowered at the end of a transmission cable into an oil well and it is desirable to predict peak voltage at the tools to ensure proper tool performance.

Abstract: Sound is recorded on a motion picture filmstrip (20) by taking periodic samples (15) of an analog signal (13), digitizing each sample in the form of a sixteen-bit binary word (40), (41), (43), and representing each binary word on the filmstrip in the form of a group of bits (8) composed of black dots (26) and transparent spaces (28). Each dot represents a binary ZERO and each space a binary ONE. The groups of binary bits are disposed in a digitized soundtrack (8) on the filmstrip, between the visual frames (50) and the sprocket holes (54), either in lieu of or in addition to the regular analog "variable area" soundtrack (48). On the digitized soundtrack, the groups of bits are arranged in parallel rows (42) which are oriented orthogonally to the direction of elongation of the filmstrip. Each row consists of a group of starting bits (44), followed by three groups of binary bits, for the left (40), right (41) and center ( 43) audio tracks, respectively. Thus each row on the digitized soundtrack represents three samples of three analog audio signals. When the filmstrip is projected, the digitized soundtrack is illuminated with a lamp (102) and the shadow of the digital soundtrack is sensed by a plurality of photocells (100) which provide electrical output signals. These are conveyed to a digital-to-analog converter (110) which reconstitutes the original audio signals, which are then reproduced as audible sounds by loudspeakers (116, 112, etc.) The audio information may be represented by various other arrangements of the groups of binary bits.

Abstract: The fat-to-lean ratio of tissue on a human subject is measured by the subject standing on a platform (100), raising his or her heels, then allowing his or her weight to fall onto the board near a transducer to produce a force. A sensor transmits a voltage signal to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The subject's stomach (300), buttocks (310), and other flesh will continue moving in a downward direction (335) (below their rest position) after the skeleton has stopped moving. This results in a downward force on the board which is registered as a data peak (580) in a computer through the action of the sensor and the A/D converter. Tissue elasticity will cause the stomach and buttocks to then move upward (350), above their normal resting position. This will result in a lessening of the force and a corresponding minimum (590) in the output wave. The wave thus is a damped sinusoid which can be analyzed using various means to result in an "excess pendulous fatty tissue index" which is indicated by humanly sensible readout display.

Abstract: Improvements are disclosed in an ultrasonic display and recording system of the type utilized in diagnostic medicine with particular applicability in cardiovascular diagnosis. The system includes a multi-element transducer for generating and receiving ultrasonic energy which is propagated into and reflected back from the cardiovascular region of the patient being examined, and also includes means for generating a two-dimensional real time display and/or image of the zone of examination. TM recording means are associated with the system and may be actuated to effect a TM recording corresponding to a preselected region of the real time image being observed. An ECG output signal is also displayed in real time with the two-dimensional image, and photographs of the displays may be produced at selected points in the ECG cycle in accordance with a setting made by the system operator. The system includes provision for generating video recordings; and means for imposing various identification and time data upon the displays.
