    Abstract: A system and method for dynamic adjustment of video images on a cathode ray tube in diverse geographic local magnetic fields. The present invention uses a CRT magnetometer that accurately senses differences in the strength and direction of a local magnetic field in three axes, i.e., the x, y, and z axes. The cathode ray tube includes a digital monitor board or monitor circuitry that has a processor and memory and is capable of retrieving correction factor data and magnetic correction data generated by a vision system. The digital monitor board receives CRT magnetometer signals and uses the signals with magnetic correction data to adjust the correction factor data to generate locale specific correction factor data for the sensed local magnetic field. The digital monitor board is capable of decoding the locale specific correction factor data using DACs, PDMs, PWMs, and interpolation engines to generate correction signals that are used to adjust the video image to correct for magnetically induced distortion.

    Abstract: A pivoting gate valve assembly includes a seat plate with an orifice therethrough, a stop plate and a gate. The stop plate is mounted on the seat plate and borders a portion of the orifice. The gate is pivotably mounted to the seat plate and pivots to a closed position against the stop plate and covering the orifice. The gate and the stop plate form a substantially flush contiguous surface when in the closed position.

    Abstract: A system for transforming coordinate systems in an automated video monitor alignment system includes a camera and computer to capture an image of the display bezel surrounding the cathode ray tube and of the image displayed on the CRT. Three dimensional models of the CRT tube and display bezel are used to compute and compensate for camera perspective. Camera pixel data can then be transformed to `flat plane` coordinates. When the relative orientation of the camera and CRT are corrected, the effects of parallax can be eliminated, allowing more accurate inspection, measurement, and lower cost fixturing on the production line. Thus, an accurate coordinate transformation from a camera-referenced coordinate system to a monitor-referenced coordinate system is made. Correction factors for correcting errors due to refraction can also be generated empirically in accordance with the present invention. Slope coordinate data is generated for a sample monitor for predetermined slope coordinate locations on the tube face. Correction signals can be generated from the slope coordinate data and measured tilt angles of the monitor relative to the vision system. Two dimensional interpolation techniques can be employed to provide slope coordinate values and correction signals for video signals that do not physically match the location of the slope coordinate locations of the sample monitor.

    Abstract: A pipe coupling for connecting together two plain-ended pipes in a fluid-tight manner comprises an outer tubular casing, an inner tubular casing and a tubular sealing sleeve. The sealing sleeve has two sets of inwardly projecting ribs which, in use, are pressed into sealing engagement with the respective ends of the pipes. The inner and outer casings are longitudinally split and tensioning screws on the outer casing can be tightened to tighten the outer casing around the inner casing and the sealing sleeve. Frustoconical slots in the outer surfaces of the sealing sleeves receive frustoconical gripping rings which have gripping teeth on the inner sides which bite into the pipe surfaces to secure the pipes against axial displacement.
