摘要:
A method of developing or improving a parts inspection process, the method comprising: selecting at least one target part for inspection; convening a panel to review samples of the target part, and to define conditions and determine a disposition of the target part samples; conducting initial inspections of the target part samples to obtain sample inspection results; comparing the sample inspection results with the conditions and disposition of the target part samples set by the panel; determining a cause of variability between the sample inspection results and the conditions and disposition of the target part samples set by the panel and generating one or more solutions for the cause of variability; creating an inspection standard based on the one or more solutions; conducting training of inspectors using the inspection standard, with inspectors which qualify on the training proceeding with routine inspections; and conducting reviews of the routine inspections to determine an inspection error rate; wherein the routine inspections are allowed to continue if an acceptable inspection error rate is achieved, and wherein an inspection standard review is performed if an unacceptable inspection error rate is achieved.

A method and apparatus for removing fine particulate matter from a fluid stream without interrupting the overall process or flow. The flowing fluid inflates and expands the flexible filter, and particulate is deposited on the filter media while clean fluid is permitted to pass through the filter. This filter is cleaned when the fluid flow is stopped, the filter collapses, and a force is applied to distort the flexible filter media to dislodge the built-up filter cake. The dislodged filter cake falls to a location that allows undisrupted flow of the fluid after flow is restored. The shed particulate is removed to a bin for periodic collection. A plurality of filter cells can operate independently or in concert, in parallel, or in series to permit cleaning the filters without shutting off the overall fluid flow. The self-cleaning filter is low cost, has low power consumption, and exhibits low differential pressures.

Method and apparatus for generating a low tar, renewable fuel gas from biomass and using it in other energy conversion devices, many of which were designed for use with gaseous and liquid fossil fuels. An automated, downdraft gasifier incorporates extensive air injection into the char bed to maintain the conditions that promote the destruction of residual tars. The resulting fuel gas and entrained char and ash are cooled in a special heat exchanger, and then continuously cleaned in a filter prior to usage in standalone as well as networked power systems.

The method of play of the present invention defines certain initial starting hands as hands that may be replayed by a player at a later point in time if the initial starting hand results in a losing final hand after the draw step has taken place. Any initial starting hand that qualifies for later replay can be stored in the memory of the gaming machine. At a later time, the initial starting hand is displayed to the player for replay. The player may or may not be required to make a wager to replay the initial starting hand.

In a data processing system a number of processing nodes share resources. Access to the shared resources is controlled by semaphores, each node having a local copy of all the semaphores. Nodes may acquire ownership of semaphores. When a node requires a semaphore operation on a particular semaphore, a semaphore message is broadcast to all the nodes instructing them to perform the semaphore operation on their local copies of the semaphore. If the semaphore is unowned, the node must suspend the semaphore operation until the message returns, so as to ensure correct chronology for the semaphore operation. If, however, the semaphore owned by this node, the node can perform the semaphore operation without waiting for the message to return. This speeds up the semaphore mechanism. If the semaphore is owned by another node, that other node relinquishes ownership so that the semaphore operation can be performed.
