Title: Vehicular rotary seat
Inventor: HIJIKATA TAKAFUMI
IPC: A61G3/00
Filed: 1998-04-03
Granted: 2003-09-30
Abstract: With respect to a rotating seat for a vehicle, for example, for the elderly or the handicapped, the known art requires two operations of moving a seat body forward and rotating it to a door opening, and is thus poor in usability. Further, if the seat is positioned to the front such that the seat can be rotated at that position, the space close to occupant's feet is sacrificed. It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide a rotating vehicle seat having excellent usability without sacrificing the space close to occupant's feet. A rotating vehicle seat of the present invention includes a rotating support base 10 for rotatably supporting a seat body 2, a longitudinal support base for supporting and moving the rotating support base in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and coupling means 6, 38 disposed between the seat body 2 and the longitudinal support base for coupling the rotational movement and the longitudinal movement of the seat body.

Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: A control arrangement and method is provided for source-transfer switching systems including a high-speed control arrangement and high-speed switches to control the transfer of a load from one source to another with minimal transfer delays. The system supplies an electrical load with alternating current from either a first source or a second source via respective first and second switches. The system also includes a controller that samples the voltage waveforms of each of the first and second sources to detect when transfer between the sources is desirable, e.g. power outages, voltage levels that are either too low or too high, or reverse currents that indicate an upstream fault. The controller provides appropriate control signals to control operation of the switches and transfer supply of the load therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, after a transfer decision is made, the control arrangement initiates a transfer of the load from a first source to a second source with no intentional delay via the opening of a first switch and the closing of a second switch. In another embodiment, the control arrangement initiates a transfer by first opening the first switch and then closing the second switch after the current is interrupted through the first switch. In yet another embodiment, transfer is accomplished via an "open" transition, break before make, when severe disturbances of a first category are detected, and transfer is accomplished via a "closed" transition, which may involve make- before-break conditions, when less severe disturbances of a second category are detected.

Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: Pour obtenir un tissu ouaté de qualité supérieure, tel qu'une lingette pour le visage, une lingette nettoyante, de l'essui-tout ou autre, on applique sur la ou les surfaces du tissu un grand nombre de dépôts individuels d'une composition hydrophile à l'état fondu contenant un polyéthylène glycol de poids moléculaire élevé, un alcool gras (C14-C30) des émollients lipophiles ou des solvants, y compris de l'eau; puis on resolidifie la composition pour obtenir une distribution, de préférence une distribution uniforme, des dépôts solides sur la ou les surfaces du tissu. Etant donné que la composition est un solide à température ambiante et qu'elle se solidifie rapidement après son dépôt, elle a moins tendance à pénétrer et à migrer dans la feuille. Ces dépôts solides se caractérisent par une résistance à la pénétration comprise entre environ 5 et environ 360 millimètres.

Title: Local number portability intelligent signaling transfer point
Inventor: WONG PING CHI
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1998-09-11
Granted: 2007-01-30
Abstract: A "Local Number Portability (LNP) intelligent Signal Transfer Point (STP)" which can perform a Local Number Portability (LNP) query towards a Service Control Point (SCP) and modify the incoming Initial Address Message (IAM) with the Location Routing Number (LRN) and the Ported Dialed Number (PDN), and indicate, using the Forward Call Indicator (FCI) (M-bit), whether the number has been translated. This advantageously allows non-Advanced Intelligent Network capable Service Switching Points (SSPs) (but Integrated Services Digital Network User Part, or ISUP, capable SSPs) to support Local Number Portability (LNP) without having to upgrade the SSPs. In addition, the LNP intelligent STP system provides AIN-capable SSPs with an alternative means of LNP, which reduces both the internal switching processes and the cost for the LNP query transactions.

Patent CA-2310076-C (CA)

Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: A poly-phase high frequency alternator (10) with a low-loss magnetic core is excited by a low-loss field coil (18) that is part of a series resonant circuit tuned to a desired AC power frequency which may be 50 or 60 Hz. The series resonant circuit is excited at the resonant frequency. The resulting resonant behavior automatically provides the high driving voltages and sinusoidal energy storage patterns needed to efficiently modulate the field inductance at 50 or 60 Hz. Modulating the field at the desired AC power frequency modulates the alternator output voltage at that frequency. The poly-phase alternator output is rectified (46) into a single phase and commutated with respect to the load at the zero crossing of each half cycle of the AC power frequency. This produces a single phase power frequency AC  output (56).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de surveillance de données et d'objets et de réponse à ceux-ci, comportant une infrastructure à trois couches pour optimiser l'interopérabilité et l'adaptabilité spécifique de tâches du système. Le système rassemble des informations provenant de plusieurs unités de collecte de données réparties, et assimile, traite, analyse et répartit les données rassemblées dans un système commun comportant un traitement de données à base de règles pour former une réponse coordonnée aux données. Les unités de collecte de données peuvent être réparties localement ou à grande échelle. Les informations rassemblées peuvent être une collecte de données d'événements en temps réel, des données historiques, des données de surveillance de systèmes ou d'autres données. Le système de l'invention permet, sans distinction de la nature spécifique des données, de traiter des problèmes ordinaires associés à la collecte, à l'assimilation et au traitement de données. La division du système en une structure interactive à trois couches permet de collecter, d'évaluer et de traiter des données de manière indépendante et efficace, et de mettre efficacement en oeuvre une réponse appropriée. La couche de traitement, qui comprend les règles d'analyse des données, existe indépendamment de l'interface d'opérateur et des couches de collecte de données. Le système peut contenir une grande diversité d'équipements de collecte de données sans nécessiter de modifications de l'interface d'opérateur ou de la couche de traitement. On peut modifier les règles de traitement sans affecter la collecte et le traitement des données, et une uniformité de conception de la structure de données permet d'éliminer des interrogations multiples des ensembles de données collectés.

Abstract: An approach for performing congestion avoidance in a switching communication system is disclosed. An input port of the switching communication system receives a bandwidth request from a source. The switching communication system includes a bandwidth control processor that examines the bandwidth request, and multiple output ports. The output ports communicate with various destination sites. A congestion avoidance logic within the switching communication system generates multiple clusters based upon a transmission constraint associated with the output ports; each of the clusters corresponds to a portion of the destination sites. The congestion avoidance logic determines a cluster threshold that corresponds to traffic load distribution among the critical clusters. Additionally, the congestion avoidance logic selectively grants the bandwidth request based upon the determined cluster threshold. This congestion avoidance mechanism has applicability to a packet-switched satellite communication system with an on-board switch; the switch has transmission constraints such that the transmitters of the satellite at the output port of the switch cannot simultaneously transmit to downlink cells, which contain station terminals that are within an interfering distance from one another.
