Inventor: EBERT MICHAEL A
IPC: A01K23/00

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une boîte à litière pour un animal domestique tel qu'un chat, qui présente un fond (24), un dessus (23), des parois latérales en vis-à-vis (21, 22), et des parois avant et arrière (25, 26). La boîte comprend une séparation intérieure (35) présentant une partie supérieure sans perforation et comprenant un dispositif collecteur tel qu'un bac (30), accessible de préférence depuis l'extérieur de la boîte, et une partie inférieure sensiblement perpendiculaire au fond et munie de perforations (37). La zone de la boîte à litière située d'un côté de la séparation est destinée à être occupée par le chat ou un autre animal, un orifice d'entrée ad-hoc (27) étant ménagé dans la paroi avant. Si une taille de perforations convenable est choisie pour la séparation, la rotation de la boîte à litière autour d'un axe horizontal parallèle à la séparation permettra à la matière de litière propre de traverser la séparation, les déchets et la matière de litière agglomérée étant ainsi séparés de la matière de litière propre restante. La contre-rotation de la boîte vers sa position d'origine, fait repasser la matière de litière propre au travers de la séparation pour réutilisation, les déchets séparés arrivant ainsi dans le dispositif collecteur d'où ils pourront être retirés ultérieurement. Dans une réalisation préférée, la paroi latérale (22) du bord de la séparation du côté opposé à la zone occupée par l'animal présente une forme semi-circulaire ou au moins convexe et une légère courbure facilitant la rotation de la boîte.

Abstract: The improved disk drive system has an improved actuator arm assembly where the arms are independently and individually insertable and removable from the actuator member. Furthermore, each arm is individually self-locked into the actuator member without the need for external retaining means such as screws, springs, and rings. Since the arms are individually insertable/removable, the arms can be made very thin thereby allowing easy attachment of the head suspension assembly to the arm without the need for swaging, bonding, welding or screw-in. Since the arms can be made very thin, that provides substantial reduction in disk to disk spacing and therefore, substantial reduction in the overall height of a disk drive system.

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Dichtungselement, insbesondere für Absperr- und Regelorgane. Das Dichtungselement besteht aus einem plattenförmigen oder kolbenförmigen Absperrkörper aus einem metallischen oder nicht-metallischen Werkstoff. Beispielsweise handelt es sich um einen Al2O3-Keramikwerkstoff. Mittels eines Plasma-CVD-Verfahrens ist auf eine Arbeitsfläche des Absperrkörpers eine Kohlenstoff- und Silicium-haltige Hartstoffschicht von etwa 1 bis 2 νm aus einem Haftschichtanteil und einem Gleitschichtanteil abgeschieden, wobei der Siliciumgehalt im Haftschichtanteil größer ist als im Gleitschichtanteil. Zur Erhöhung der Haftung des Haftschichtanteils ist dieser nach seiner Beschichtung getempert worden. Die Temperung erfolgt entweder 0,5 bis 1 min lang bei 900 °C oder 30 bis 60 min lang bei 500 °C.

Abstract: The display, a deformed helix ferroelectric display, has two cells Ä210,211Ü located between a pair of crossed polarisers Ä21,28Ü. One cell has a liquid crystal layer Ä23Ü between two substrates with line Ä22Ü and surface Ä24Ü electrodes. The other cell has the liquid crystal cell between substrates having pixel electrodes Ä25,27Ü. The cells are constructed and controlled to avoid interference from DC components by changing the polarity of the voltage from image to image. The orientation and refractive index of the liquid crystal cells is chosen so the transmission does not change greatly by changing polarity of the control voltage. Both displays are controlled so the switching angle is not more than 22.5 degrees.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus in which ink is discharged from a recording head (1). For checking discharge operation of the head (1), the head (1) is positioned by positioning means (2,32,10) opposite to a temperature sensor (16). Change in temperature sensed by the sensor (16) is monitored by a detecting circuit (31). As a means of improving detection sensitivity, the discharge from the head (1) is controlled by control means (21) so that a greater amount of ink is discharged for the checking mode. Either the droplet volume is increased or the number of droplets discharged per unit time is increased. In the case of a vertically aligned head (1), discharge ports in the upper part of the head (1) are selected.

Abstract: In the manufacture of a screen suitable for use as a rear projection screen, a first layer (10) of a photopolymerisable monomer or oligomer which is tacky in its monomeric or oligomeric form and non-tacky in its polymerised form, is exposed to polymerising light, such as ultra-violet light, in a pattern comprising an array of spots of such light, and consequent selective polymerisation is allowed to take place in the first layer (10). There is then applied to the exposed surface of the first layer (10) a printing medium comprising an opaque pigment layer (28) on a supporting substrate (30) so that the pigment layer (28) contacts the exposed surface of the first layer (10) and sticks to the unpolymerised and therefore still tacky regions of the first layer (10), but not to the polymerised regions. The substrate (30) carrying the pigment layer (28) is then stripped from the first layer (10), leaving pigment (28) adhering only to the unpolymerised regions. The adhering pigment (28) may form a contrast enhancing mask over the regions intermediate the exposed spots of photopolymer, which form microlenses.

A first compliance (54) for permitting relative movement between the first outer perimeter and an outer frame (16) couples the first outer perimeter to the frame (16). A first opening (40) in the frame vents air from a first face (44) of the first diaphragm. A second opening (46) in the frame vents air from a second face (48) of the first diaphragm. A second diaphragm (134) is fixed to the former at a second position a second distance (138) from the front plate (20) of the stator greater than the first distance along the length of the former. The second diaphragm has a second outer perimeter (156). A second compliance (154) permitting relative movement between the second outer perimeter and the frame couples the second outer perimeter to the frame. A third opening (140) in the frame vents air from a first face (144) of the second diaphragm. A first partition (64) disposed between the second face of the first diaphragm and the first face of the second diaphragm provides a fourth opening (66) through which the former extends.
