Patent EP-0982746-A2 (EP)
Inventor: UOTOME RIICHI
IPC: H01H9/44
Filed: 1999-08-04
Abstract: A single-pole relay switch capable of effective arc extinction
irrespective of the current flowing directions in which the device is
connected in a circuit. The switch has a housing (10) and two sets of contacts (21,31;22,32)
located in the housing, each set being composed of a fixed contact and a
movable contact. A contact carrier (30) is provided to have first and second
movable arms which extend commonly from a bridge and are provided
respectively with the two movable contacts (31,32). An actuator (60) applies a driving
force to move the contact carrier (30) between an ON-position of holding the
movable contacts simultaneously in contact respectively with the fixed
contacts, and an OFF-position of keeping the movable contacts at
respective opening gaps from the fixed contacts. The housing (10) includes a
casing (40) which is divided into first and second chambers respectively for
receiving the contact sets, each of the first and second chambers being
surrounded by a dielectric wall. Permanent magnet means (50) are disposed around
the casing to stretch the individual arcs in opposing directions to each other
and towards the dielectric walls of the first and second chambers,
respectively. Thus, the individual arcs can be stretched individually
within the separate chambers, i.e., in an isolated condition. Therefore, the
individual arcs can be free from merging even when the current flows in
such a direction as to drive the arcs in the approaching direction.

Abstract: The invention provides a control (15) for an electrical appliance (11) with at least one electrical operating device (13) contained in the appliance (11), the control (15) containing at least one power switching device (17). According to the invention the control (15) has a control unit (21) separate from the electrical appliance (11) and which is connected to the latter in wireless, signal-transmitting manner and essentially contains the control and regulating part for the electrical appliance. In this way an operating and control unit (21) separate or separable from the electrical appliance (11) is obtained and which when necessary can be easily inter-changed as a separate part. A basic version of an electrical appliance (11) can be upgraded with different control units (21) to a final appliance with differing operational scope. Preferably the electrical appliance is an electric cooker, particularly a hob. As a further function the external control unit (21) must be fitted in a specific position, particularly on the electrical appliance (11), in order to permit operation.

turnably disposed in the vibration generating shaft (10), and
an eccentric weight driving unit for rotating the eccentric
weight (6a) about a pivotal shaft (6) transversely extending

movement lever neutral position detecting unit and an
eccentric weight eccentricity quantity controlling unit.
Otherwise, the vibration generating apparatus may
substantially be composed of a running speed detecting unit, a
running speed setting unit a running speed comparing unit, and
an eccentric weight eccentricity quantity controlling unit.
The eccentric weight eccentricity quantity controlling unit is
usually composed of a hydraulic cylinder (7), a hydraulic pump
(47), a connecting rod (18), and solenoid driven change valves
(42, 44). In addition, a vibration generating method to be
practiced by operating a vibration generating apparatus of the

Abstract: A vertical shaft (13) is connected at its upper
end to the stern of a ship. A rudder plate (23) is
secured to the shaft (13), for controlling the course
of the ship. A pod (15) is mounted on the intermediate
pate of the shaft (13). The pod (15) contains a drive
device, which drives a propeller shaft. The propeller
(21) connected to the propeller shaft is thereby
rotated, generating a force propelling the ship.
To alter the course of the ship, the shaft (13) is
rotated, thereby rotating the pod (15) and the rudder
plate (23). As the rudder plate (23) is thus rotated,
a lift is obtained at the plate (23). The lift and the
lateral component of the propelling force are combined,
applying a lateral force to the hull.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributing the data error
correction and compression processing load between a modem (DCE)
and a host data terminal equipment (DTE) enables modem
implementation with minimal cost, power dissipation, and size.
The DTE has a CPU and an associated memory. The memory contains
a data transmission program for execution by the CPU to produce
output data for transmitting, and at least a data compression
algorithm and a data error checking algorithm for execution by
the CPU under control of the data transmission program to
asynchronously deliver data according to the data transmission
program to a modem for synchronous transmission. The modem
included in the DCE asynchronously received the data from the
DTE and synchronously transmits it as output data. Due to the
distribution of the data processing algorithms into the memory
of the DTE, the DCE can be operated simultaneously in
communication and control modes. Moreover, the modem can be
controlled during data transmission or reception in response to
a 〈DLE〉 code in combination with a predetermined control code.

Abstract: In a method of membrane
separation of filtrating water to be treated (2) by a membrane
module (3) in a biological treatment tank (1) and alternately
carrying out nitrification and denitrification treatments in
the biological treatment tank (1), during the nitrification
treatment, an oxygen including gas as an aeration gas for
aerating the membrane module (3) is introduced into the water
to be treated (2) and during the denitrification treatment,
introduction of the oxygen including gas is stopped and an
inner tank gas in the biological treatment (1) is used to
circulate as the aeration gas of the membrane module (3). In
this case, aeration of the membrane module is carried out
both in the nitrification and denitrification treatments.
Therefore, even in the denitrification treatment, filtration
of the water to be treated by the membrane module is made
possible and when the water amount of the water to be treated
which is to be treated in the nitrification and the
denitrification treatments is intended to be maintained
constant, compared with a case in which the filtration is
carried out only in the nitrification treatment, an area of a
membrane of the membrane module (3) is reduced.

computer system. The computer system also measures and time-stamps
system performance statistics and system parameters and stores them in the
memory unit within the computer system. The computer system reports the

system at specified time intervals. The central computer system correlates the
network performance statistics and the system information for a specified time
period based on the time-stamping and stores the network performance
statistics and the system information in a memory unit within the computer

performance statistics and system information to a user in response to the
identification of a perturbation in the communication network, where the
correlated network performance statistics and system information are displayed
