Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of a sealing arrangement for a
device such as an inflatable seat and which seal provides the sealing
together of portions of material which form said device. A seal
comprises a first sealing area (16) offset from a second sealing area (18) and
between which is defined a chamber (20). In one embodiment, this
comprises the seal but in other embodiments coloured fluid may be
provided in the chamber (20) to more clearly indicate leakage through
one or other of the first or second sealed areas (16,18) or at least one
aperture (34) may be provided to allow the controlled passage of fluid
into or from the chamber to indicate leakage to the user of the
device. Thus there is provided a seal arrangement which is
stronger than conventional seals and also provides an early
indication of failure of the seal to the user of the device before
catastrophic failure of the same thereby preventing potential
accident or injury.

Abstract: A liquid-crystal panel comprises a pair of transparent
glass substrates each being provided with an electrode.
Between the glass substrates are disposed spacers for defining
a space and a mixture of droplets of a liquid crystal having a
mean diameter of 3.0 µm or less and of a photo-curing polymer.
The edge portions of the glass substrates are sealed with a
seal polymer. In curing the photo-curing polymer during the
process of manufacturing the liquid-crystal panel, the dose of
an ultraviolet ray is set to 500 mJ/cm 2  or more so as to reduce
the diameters of the droplets of the liquid crystal, thereby
preventing light leakage in the state without a voltage applied
and improving the contrast. If the spacers are colored, the
effect of preventing light leakage is increased. If the
spacers are subjected to a surface treatment for rejecting the
liquid crystal or composed of a polymer material of the same
type as that of the photo-curing polymer, variations in
diameter of the droplets of the liquid crystal can be
prevented. With the structure, it becomes possible to provide
a liquid-crystal panel in which light leakage in the black mode
is reduced and which presents uniform and high-contrast display
of images.

Abstract: In vibrating a spool of a spool-valve type
electromagnetic proportional pressure control valve by
applying a dither current so that no static friction acts
on the spool, the dither effect tends to weaken in a
region where the current is small and in a region where
the current is so large as to cause magnetic saturation.
An alternating dither current is superimposed on the
current supplied to an electromagnet to vibrate the spool
with an amplitude small enough not to affect the liquid
pressure, and in a control region where the ratio of the
solenoid force Fsol to the current I is small, the dither
current is controlled so that its amplitude is larger or
its frequency is lower than in other regions.

Abstract: A large-area electronic device, such as an AMLCD, has switching TFTs (Tp) in a matrix and circuit TFTs (Ts) in a peripheral drive circuit. Both the TFTs (Tp, Ts) comprise a field-relief region (130) which has a lower doping concentration (N-) than their drain region (113) and which is present between their channel region (111) and the drain region (113). This field-relief region (130), at least over most of its length, overlaps with the gate (121) in the circuit TFTs (Ts) so as to reduce series resistance in the field-relief region (130) by conductivity modulation with the gate (121). However, the drain region (113) in the switching TFTs (Tp) is offset from overlap with their gate (121) by at least most of the length of their field-relief region (130). This field-relief offset permits the switching TFTs (Tp) to have a lower leakage current than the circuit TFTs (Ts).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système d'évaluation d'une indication de position, telle qu'une ligne de position horizontale, d'une unité mobile d'un réseau radio cellulaire comme le système GSM. Des rafales de signaux sont émises sensiblement simultanément à partir de deux stations de base par une antenne respective. Des informations relatives à la position exacte des antennes sont également envoyées via ces antennes. Le réseau est synchronisé, c'est-à-dire qu'il a une source horloge commune. On calcule pour chaque antenne le retard réel entre une impulsion de déclenchement de rafale de la source horloge jusqu'au moment réel où cette rafale quitte l'antenne concernée. L'unité mobile détecte la différence de temps entre les rafales et reçoit des informations sur le retard desdites antennes, également via les signaux de ces antennes. L'unité mobile est alors en mesure de calculer elle-même une ligne de position le long de laquelle elle se situe. Par exemple, en renouvelant cette procédure avec une autre paire d'antennes du réseau, on obtient une autre ligne de position, la position de l'unité mobile se trouvant à l'intersection des lignes de position. En variante, la position de l'unité mobile le long de cette ligne de position peut être déterminée par d'autres informations obtenues par le réseau.
