Inventor: MORI MAKOTO
IPC: B42F13/16
Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: A simplified and easy-to-use binding device is provided. A plurality
of sheets (20) are bound together by inserting a spiral coil through a series of
holes (22a,22b) punched in each of the sheets at certain intervals. In a first
embodiment, a spiral coil having the same pitch as the interval between
the holes (22a,22b) is used. In a second embodiment, a densely spiraled coil is
used. A coil leading guide (36) is prepared for inserting the densely spiraled
coil through the holes in the sheets. The coil leading guide (36) has the same
pitch as the interval between the holes (22a,22b), and is coupled to the densely
spiraled coil through an engaging portion formed in an end portion of the
coil leading guide (36). The coil leading guide (36) is spirally inserted through the
holes such that the densely spiraled coil follows the coil leading guide (36),
whereby the plurality of sheets (20) are bound together. There are further
employed a base (30) for retaining the sheets (20) from the backside so as to hold
the sheets (20) even at edges, and a coil turning aid for pressing the spiral coil
from above and turning it.

Abstract: Ein NMR-Resonator mit HF-Resonator zum Empfangen von HF-Signalen auf einer
Resonanzfrequenz aus einer Messprobe in einem Untersuchungsvolumen einer
NMR-Apparatur mit einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung eines homogenen
Magnetfelds B 0  in Richtung einer z-Achse, wobei zwischen z = -|z 1 | und z = +|z 2 |
normalleitende, induktiv und zum Teil auch kapazitiv wirkende Leiterstrukturen des
HF-Resonators auf einer in z-Richtung translations-invarianten (= z-invarianten)
Fläche im radialen (x,y) Abstand von der Messprobe angeordnet sind, ist dadurch
gekennzeichnet, dass auf der z-invarianten Fläche zusätzlich eine
Kompensations-Anordnung vorgesehen ist, die sich mindestens bis zu Werten
z < -|z 1 | -0.5 |r| und z > +|z 2 | + 0.5 |r| erstreckt, wobei |r| der kleinste vorkommende
Abstand zwischen der Messprobe und der Kompensations-Anordnung bedeutet,
dass die Kompensations-Anordnung weitere normalleitende Leiterstrukturen
umfasst, welche HF-mäßig vom HF-Resonator weitgehend entkoppelt sind, dass
die Leiterstrukturen der Kompensations-Anordnung und des HF-Resonators
ihrerseits aus einzelnen, normalleitende Strukturen enthaltenden
Flächenabschnitten (="Z-Strukturen") zusammengesetzt sind, die in der z-invarianten
Fläche liegen, jeweils über die ganze Länge in z-Richtung der
Leiterstrukturen der Kompensations-Anordnung und des HF-Resonators
verlaufen, und deren Strukturen so angeordnet sind, dass bei Zerlegung der
Fläche der Z-Strukturen in eine Vielzahl gleich großer Flächenelemente, in allen
Flächenelementen, die sich nur in ihrer z-Position unterscheiden, eine gleiche
Masse von normalleitendem Material enthalten ist. Dies ergibt eine neue Art von
normalleitenden NMR-Resonatoren, deren zusätzliche Leiterstrukturen vom
eigentlichen HF-Resonator entkoppelt sind, und die den durch die Suszeptibilität
des Leiters hervorgerufenen Störeinfluss kompensieren.

Abstract: This invention provides a retractable writing instrument (100) that substantially prevents writing fluid from evaporating through the tip (102) when the tip is in a retracted position to eliminate the need for a cap. Within the writing instrument is an enclosure member (300,1200,1500) that has a vapor chamber (306). In the retracted position, the tip of the writing instrument is within the vapor chamber to substantially seal the tip from ambient air so that writing fluid does not evaporate through the tip. The enclosure member has a lip (600,1206,1508) that opens to allow the tip to move forward and extend from the writing instrument so that writing fluid can be delivered to the writing surface for writing. When the tip is moved back into the retracted position the lip closes to substantially seal the tip from the ambient air. An external compression force may be applied to the lip to assist in sealing the lip. The enclosure member may be made of a material that is durable so that the lip does not wear out after many cycles of moving the tip between the retracted and protracted positions, such as silicone, butyl rubber, and thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) material including butyl rubber cross-linked with polypropylene.
