摘要： Method and apparatus for testing an implant attached to a bone of a human or animal subject includes a member releasably attached to the implant. The member carries a transducer for exciting the member with a variable frequency AC signal, and a transducer for detecting a resonance frequency of the member. The detected resonance frequency is used to assess the degree of attachment of the implant to the bone.

摘要： An apparatus and method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing provides an elongate strip of ultrasound transmissive material coupled at a proximal end to an object under test. The elongate strip has a transverse cross-section with a width and thickness giving an aspect ratio greater than unity and matched to the ultrasonic transducer such that excitation induces a substantially non-dispersive ultrasonic signal to propagate along the elongate strip to the proximal end and to enter the object under test. These non-dispersive pulses are particularly suited for time-of-flight measurements, thickness measurements, crack measurements and the like. The elongate strip helps to separate the transducer from a potentially hostile environment associated with the object under test. The elongate strip also has a large area of contact with the object under test allowing efficient transmission of energy into the object under test.

摘要： An automated shopping order entry system has particularly advantageous features for use in a supermarket having a delicatessen station. A processor subsystem, a customer subsystem, and an employee subsystem are provided. The customer subsystem can be located in the view of customers entering at a customer entrance that is typically remote from the delicatessen station. The customer can select delicatessen items and gets a printout of item selection and of estimated waiting time based on an accumulated variable workload that depends on items ordered by customers. Shopping efficiency is increased by making automated shopping available to the customer at an advantageous place and time in the shopping pattern, and by handling waiting time in an advantageous manner.

摘要： Apparatus and method for testing structures by impact. The structure is struck by an impactor associated with a force transducer the output of which is related to the force which the transducer experiences on impact and encompasses a frequency range including the lowest frequencies (typically approaching zero frequency, see FIG. 3) which that force contains to any substantial degree. A test spectrum of the force including that full range of frequencies is produced by a Fourier transformer in a form suitable for automatic comparison, and is then so compared with a reference spectrum typical of impact with a reference structure, and a signal is produced indicating fit or lack of fit between the test and reference spectra.

摘要： Apparatus for testing fruit and vegetables to assess their ripeness includes an impactor device (28) comprising a bellows (30) which can be expanded and retracted by the application of pressurized air and vacuum via a support tube (32) for the bellows and which mounts an impactor (33) for tapping a fruit or vegetable item to be tested. The impactor has an internal slug movable relatively to the bellows (30) so that, when the bellows expands and stops upon its nose piece (36) contacting the surface of the item to be tested, the slug continues to move through the aperture (35) in the nose piece, under its own momentum, to tap the surface of the item. The slug incorporates a force transducer which, when the slug is tapped against the item, produces an electrical output signal in the form of a pulse corresponding to the reaction force and this pulse is processed to produce a signal indicative of the ripeness of the fruit.
