Patent EP-0573128-A3 (EP)
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1991-07-11
Abstract: The invention provides an inhaler for delivering a substance in a finely divided form from a storage chamber within the inhaler. The inhaler comprises a metering member operable to transfer a dose of the substance from the storage chamber (10) to an inhalation passage (15), the metering member having a frusto-conical metering surface (7) which is indented to provide at least one dispensing cup (8) and being moveable between a first position in which a dispensing cup (8) is presented to the storage chamber (10) to receive a dose of the substance and a second position in which a dose of the substance is presented to the inhalation passage (15) in an upwardly open dispensing cup (8). The body (4) of the inhaler comprises a seat having an annular, frusto-conical contact surface making sliding contact with the metering surface and defining a socket within which the metering member (6) is journalled for rotation between its first and second positions. The use of a frusto-conical metering member allows a good seal to be obtained between it and the seat and also makes the inhaler relatively compact. <IMAGE>

Title: Wireless-telecommunication device for vehicles.
Inventor: WEIS BERND X
IPC: H04B1/3822
Filed: 1994-01-13
Abstract: A telecommunication device (11) for installation in vehicles is proposed, which telecommunication device (11) is provided with a RF transmitting and receiving device (22, 23) with different terminal devices and with a transmission network (19) between the RF transmitting and receiving device and the terminal devices. The telecommunication-specific component of each terminal device is accommodated spatially separated from the actual user component (12, 13, 14) of the terminal device in a central terminal device control (15) which is connected to the RF transmitting and receiving device (22). Between the terminal device control (15) and the user components (12, 13, 14) of the terminal devices, a powerful, optical transmission network (19) is provided, for example, as transmission network. Both the central terminal device control (15) and the user components (12, 13, 14) of the terminal devices are provided in each case with an interface unit to the transmission network (19). The telecommunication device (11) is smaller in volume and therefore can be more suitably accommodated in the vehicle than a conventional device with individual terminal devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ergonomic handrail/bumper has an elongated metal retainer (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) of substantially uniform cross-section along its length that is adapted to be mounted on a wall (W) by supports (S). A bumper-retaining portion (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) of the retainer includes a generally vertically oriented web (114, 214, 314, 414, 514), to which a handgrip-retaining portion (116, 216, 316, 416, 516) spaced apart above the web is joined by a connecting portion (118, 218, 318, 418, 518). A bumper member (120, 220, 320, 420, 520) is mounted on the front of the web of the bumper-retaining portion, and a handgrip member (122, 222, 322, 422, 522) is mounted on the handgrip-retaining portion of the retainer. The handgrip-retaining portion has a base (e.g, 124) joined to the connecting portion, the base being inclined upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the front part of the bumper-retaining portion, and a pair of spaced apart retaining flanges (e.g., 126/128) extending generally upwardly from the base and defining a channel (e.g., 130). The handgrip member is of a solid material and has surfaces (e.g, 132/134) engaging the base of the handgrip-retaining portion and a pair of grooves (e.g., 126/128) receiving the retaining flanges and defining a rib portion (e.g., 140) that is received in the channel of the handgrip-retaining portion of the retainer. <IMAGE>

IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 1996-08-13
Abstract: A laser system for surveying, which comprises a laser light
source unit, an optical system for irradiating a laser beam from
the laser light source unit toward a given direction, whereby
said laser light source unit is at least thermally isolated from
the optical system, and the laser beam from the laser light source
unit is guided toward the optical system by an optical fiber.
Because the laser light source unit, or at least a heat generating
portion of the light source unit is isolated from the optical
system, no influence of heat from the laser light source unit
is exerted on the optical system, and it is possible to prevent
decrease of accuracy due to heat and to maintain the laser system
for surveying in a condition to provide measurement at high
accuracy.

Title: Multiple impact motor drive for stapling
Inventor: CAMINO FRANCISCO JAVIER
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: An electric stapler (11) is provided with current in multiple pulses
in order to penetrate a thick stack of paper (47). The stapler (11) is provided
with current sufficient to staple a thin stack of paper. If the stapler (11) does
not complete its staple function after a time period corresponding to anticipated
completion of the cycle, the current is interrupted. The current is then reapplied
after the load on the stapler (11) has attenuated. The reapplication of current
results in a hammering action. This permits a thicker stack of paper (47) to be
stapled with a stapler (11) which is optimized for the thin stack.

Abstract: The stock inlet action, at a papermaking machine, has a distributor to spread the pulp suspension over the working width of the papermaking machine, using a number of openings or channels leading to the outlet slit across the machine width. The distributor separates at least part of the suspension flow into mixture part-flows, where each is formed into at least two control flows of different densities (CH,CL). To correct the paper weight profile in the finished paper material, the density (CM) of each mixture part-flow is individually adjusted by altering the throughputs (QH,QL) of the control flows. The throughputs (QH,QL) of the control flows are matched together, so that the throughput (QM) of the mixture part-flows remains unchanged or is restored to the required value.

Abstract: A transport decoder 110, for receiving and processing a transport
data stream using MPEG-2 formats, includes connections to a physical layer
channel interface (channel interface) 112, a buffer memory 114, a host
microprocessor 116, audio and video decoders 118/120, and clock signal circuitry
122. Upon receipt of a discontinuity indicator, the transport packet headers are
parsed and transport packet payloads are stored in memory. Subsequently, upon
receipt of a next program counter reference (PCR) value, a counter is loaded with
the received program counter reference value. Next, the data stored in memory is
searched for a time stamp and, when one is found, the time stamp is retrieved.
Finally, a timer interrupt is set for a point in time approximately one frame time
before the time stamp value, and, when the timer interrupt occurs, the program
counter reference value is sent to the decoders, thereby providing sufficient time for
the decoders to process data.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for limiting the use of a mobile
telephone is characterized in that it involves setting a
time limit (TIMER_VALUE) in said mobile telephone (20).
The time limit can be set for accumulated operating time
or elapsed time in general. Setting of the limit is
advantageously made possible by means of a secret code
(SECRET_KEY). Thereafter, the mobile telephone begins
measuring time, and when the elapsed or accumulated time
reaches the set limit, operation of the mobile telephone
(20) is blocked. Then, only operation by which a new time
limit can be set or the block can be removed is allowed.
A mobile telephone manufacturer can easily realize an
arrangement according to the present invention in a
mobile telephone, and said arrangement can just as easily
be implemented by, for example, a mobile telephone
renter. The temptation to misuse and steal mobile
telephones decreases when it is known that said
telephones have a limited operating time, after which
they will not function.
