Patent EP-1392984-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SWANN MICHAEL K
IPC: F16C17/20
Filed: 2002-06-06
Abstract: A tilting pad journal bearing, an annular housing for an array of arcuate bearing pads resiliently mounted by spring means which biases the pads against heads of restraining bosses that limit radial displacement and cause the bearing pads to define a shaft space. The pads have associated therewith support pegs ( 60 ) secured to housing or pad at one end and movable relative to the pad or housing at the other, and the spring means comprises stacks of individually deflectable elements mounted between relatively moving pad, housing or peg and pre-loaded by adjusting the effective gap with the pads against the bosses. Relative movement between springs provide friction damping. The restraining bosses may be displaceable together to eliminate the shaft space clearance if the magnetic suspension fails or shows signs of failing.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé « mono-dispositif » permettant de recueillir, d'extraire, de tester et de déterminer divers composants présents dans des liquides. Il s'agit en particulier de détecter la présence de diverses drogues dans des liquides corporels. Plus spécifiquement, ce procédé consiste à prélever chez un individu de la salive, de la sueur, de l'urine ou autres liquides corporels et à les analyser pour y détecter la présence de drogues dans l'organisme. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, on recueille le liquide corporel par une extrémité ad hoc. Dans le couvercle, une série de têtes de pression repousse à force l'échantillon qui les traverse au centre d'un système de dosage immunologique renfermant des bandelettes de diagnostic pour détection de drogues illicites. Une partie de l'échantillon est par ailleurs conservée dans un puits pour échantillon de confirmation, qui est scellé, et qui sera envoyé avec d'autres échantillons à un laboratoire par exemple pour contrôle ultérieur.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un écran tactile comportant un circuit de détection pouvant déterminer à quel endroit se produit une perturbation d'un champ électrique créé par le circuit de détection. Le procédé de cette invention peut être mis en oeuvre dans un écran tactile capacitif dans lequel chacune des multiples barres de détection conductrices est connectée à une ligne de guidage conductrice. Les lignes de guidage sont moins nombreuses que les barres de détection. De ce fait, au moins une et plus probablement plusieurs de ces lignes de guidage sont connectées à au moins une barre de détection. Les connexions particulières des lignes de guidage avec les barres de détection sont sélectionnées de manière à éviter toute ambiguïté provoquée par un signal donné éventuellement généré sur plus d'une barre conductrice. De manière plus spécifique, cette invention concerne une technique permettant de tracer des connexions de lignes de guidage avec des barres de détection afin qu'il soit possible de déterminer quelle barre de détection, comportant des lignes de guidage communes avec d'autres barres de détection, a subi la pression ou se trouve la plus proche du contact sur le détecteur.

Abstract: A sample dispensing apparatus is realized which can
detect a dispensing abnormality occurred during the sample
dispensing operation regardless of the type and the extent
of the abnormality. A pressure sensor is connected to a
dispensing flow passage system, including a sample probe and
a dispensing syringe, and a plurality of output values of
the pressure sensor during the sample dispensing operation
are taken in. A multi-item analysis (based on the
Mahalanobis distance) is carried out by using, as items, the
plurality of taken-in output values of the pressure sensor.
Whether the dispensing is normally performed or not is
determined by comparing an analysis result with a threshold.
A highly reliable determination result is obtained in spite
of variations of sensitivity of the pressure sensor.

Abstract: A delay time (Tset) in a normal state is set to a predetermined time Ts 1 based on an
engine coolant temperature (Tw) and a state of an air conditioner switch. The predetermined
time (Tsl) is determined based on a time necessary for completing preheating of an engine by
a preheating device, preparations of sensors such as an air-furl ratio sensor, and warming-up
of an exhaust gas purifying device (S100, S110). When it is determined that a vehicle can run
using only a motor based on a required torque (Td), a required power (P*) and an SOC of the
battery (S120 to S 150), the engine is started after the delay time (Tset) has elapsed. As a
result, it is possible to efficiently perform start of the engine and operation immediately after
the engine start, and to make control at the engine start time simple compared with when the
engine is started after making determinations as to whether various preparations have been
completed.

Title: X-ray source and method for more efficiently producing selectable x-ray frequencies
Inventor: CHARLES HARRY K
IPC: H01J35/12
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: An x-ray tube and method of operating include a vacuum chamber vessel and a source of an electron beam inside the vacuum chamber vessel. A target disposed inside the vacuum chamber vessel includes a substrate and one or more deposits attached to the substrate. Each different deposit includes an atomic element having a different atomic number. The x-ray tube also includes a means for directing the electron beam to a selectable deposit of multiple deposits. The substrate material can be selected with better vacuum sustaining strength, x-ray transparency, melting point, and thermal conductivity than a deposit. The substrate may be cooled by an integrated cooling system. The x-ray tube allows a selectable x-ray frequency to be produced with enhanced economy of power, reduced moving parts, and reduced size. For improved bone mass applications, one of the deposits has a k-fluorescence energy less than about 53 thousand electron volts.
