Patent EP-1205261-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COOK GORDON JAMES
IPC: B29C70/68
Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: A method is described for making a reinforcing wire frame for embedding in a moulded
polymer support frame (10) over which woven wire cloth (158,159) is to be stretched and secured to form
a sifting screen. The method involves locating lengths of cut wire (50) substantially equally
spaced apart in a jig to form a first array. A second array of lengths of cut wire (56,60) is located
over the first array with the lengths of wire in the second array being substantially at right
angles to those of the first array. The lengths of wire in the first and second arrays are
resistance welded at points of mutual intersection so as to form a first substantially
rectilinear matrix. Lengths of cut wire (48) are located in a jig to form a third array, in which
the lengths are also substantially equally spaced apart, and a fourth array of lengths of cut
wire (54,58,62,64) is arranged over the third array with the lengths of the fourth array substantially at
right angles to the lengths of wire of the third array, and the wires of the third and fourth
arrays are also resistance welded at points of mutual intersection to form a second
substantially rectilinear matrix. Protruding lengths of wire on at least two sides of the four
sides of one of the rectilinear matrices are bent using a press so as to bend each protruding
length first in a generally upward sense and then at a point nearer its end in a generally
downward sense so that an end region of each protruding length extends parallel to a plane
of the matrix but is displaced therefrom. Thereafter the displaced ends of the protruding
lengths of wire of one matrix are resistance welded to protruding lengths of wire of the
other matrix, to form the frame.

Abstract: Heterodyne-based optical spectrum analysis involves measuring (1706) the sweep rate
of a swept local oscillator signal and then generating (1712) an output signal that
accounts for non-uniformities in the sweep rate of the swept local oscillator signal. In
an embodiment, an input signal is combined with a swept local oscillator signal in an
optical coupler (510) and the sweep rate of the swept local oscillator signal is
measured in a relative frequency measurement system (520). The combined optical
signal is output from the optical coupler to a receiver (512) and a heterodyne beat
signal is generated. The heterodyne beat signal and measured local oscillator
frequency sweep rate information are utilized by a signal processor (516) to generate
an output signal that is indicative of an optical parameter of the input signal and that
accounts for non-uniformities in the sweep rate of the local oscillator signal. Because
the actual sweep rate of the swept local oscillator signal is measured during analysis
of the input signal, the horizontal scale accuracy of heterodyne-based OSAs is
improved.

Abstract: For an optimization system, which employs a genetic algorithm
to calculate an optimal parameter that matches an evaluation
condition consisting of multiple conditions, multiple GA engines
1 are provided at multiple stages, from the lowermost to the
topmost, and employ a genetic algorithm to output, as gene groups
PGn (n = 1 to N), parameter candidates that match evaluation
conditions that are individually set for the stages. Each of
gene migration controllers 2 moves specific genes between a lower
gene group PGn and a higher genre group PGn+1. A convergence
determination unit 3 determines the convergence of an optimization
based on a gene group PGN calculated by the GA engine 1 at the
highest stage. In order to set the evaluation conditions for
the stages, conditions are added stepwise from the lowermost
to the topmost stage.

Abstract: An information recording/reproducing apparatus which allows
freer utilization of data compressed under different data
compression schemes is provided. When data recorded on a
magneto-optical disc(2) of an MD under the ATRAC compression scheme
is converted into that of the ATRAC3 compression scheme and
re-recorded on the magneto-optical disc, selector switches(SWA1,2;
SWB1,2) are changed over in a predetermined combination. The data
recorded under the ATRAC compression scheme is read and demodulated
by a signal processing unit(11). The demodulation data(DR) is
decoded into linear PCM data by a data expansion decoder(16,17).
The linear PCM data is converted into data of-the ATRAC3 compression
scheme by a data compression encoder(14,15). The resultant signal
is modulated by the signal processing unit and re-recorded on the
magneto-optical disc. Here, the track numbers of the data
originally recorded under the ATRAC compression scheme are kept
unchanged, and associated with the data which is converted and
recorded under the ATRAC3 compression scheme. UTOC data thereof
is recorded on the MD.

Abstract: An air belt 2B has a bag-like belt potion 10 and a
knit cover 12 that surround the bag-like belt portion 10.
The bag-like portion 10 has a greater width in the part
that fits to the passenger's body between the shoulder and
abdomen. The enlarged part of the bag-like portion 10 is
folded on top of itself to form a strap-like shape. The
knit cover 12 is woven so that it is expandable in the
direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of
the belt, but virtually not in the longitudinal direction.
Upon activation of a gas generator 9 with a buckle 4
engaged with a tongue 5, the air belt 2B inflates. During
the inflation, the length of the knit cover 12 shortens in
the longitudinal direction of the belt 2B, thereby causing
the belt 2B to tightly fit on the passenger's body. This
ensures the proper protection of the passenger.

Abstract: A common rail type fuel injection system has a pressure
reducing valve (6). The pressure reducing valve (6) is opened
in order to increase quantity of return fuel recirculated from
a common rail (1) to an inlet of a fuel filter (9) when the
fuel is in low temperature in which wax easily precipitates
out of the fuel, and when an engine is starting or idling, or
when high fuel pressure is not required. Thus, the
temperature of the fuel flowing into the fuel filter (9) and
the temperature of the filter (9) are increased quickly. As a
result, precipitation of wax out of the fuel flowing into the
fuel filter (9) is inhibited and the clogging of the fuel
filter (9) by the precipitation of the wax is prevented.
