Patent EP-0865883-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ABE HIDEAKI
IPC: B26F1/38
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: In a method of correcting a cutting pattern according
to a characteristic of a fabric, a shrinkage ratio of the
sponged fabric is measured, and the cutting pattern is
corrected according to thus obtained shrinkage ratio data.
Since the fabric is sponged, the amount of moisture contained
in the fabric is controlled, and the tension applied to the
fabric is relaxed, whereby the fabric is restrained from
changing its size in the subsequent steps. Also, when
shrinkage ratio data taking account of the subsequent fabric
processing steps are used for the correction, the cutting
pattern can be corrected more accurately.

Abstract: An accumulator which is capable of preventing an
excessive enlargement of the flow rate of a liquid
refrigerant which is discharged from the accumulator,
reducing the quantity of refrigerating machine oil which is
accumulated in the accumulator and maintaining a required
quantity of refrigerating machine oil in a compressor.
Liquid and a gas which circulate in a refrigerating and air-conditioning
circuit are introduced into a first space 1 by a
suction pipe 3, and the gas refrigerant is discharged to a
refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit through a gas
passage pipe 4, a second space 2 and a discharge pipe 5.
Moreover, liquid-level maintaining means 7 and 8 prevent rise
in the height of the accumulated liquid introduced into the
first space 1. When the height has been made to be not lower
than a predetermined height, the gas communication means 4
moves liquid in the first space from the first space 1 to the
second space 2. In addition, a returning means 6 discharges
refrigerating machine oil accumulated in the first space 1 to
the refrigerating and air-conditioning circuit.

Abstract: An electrical interconnect (10) is comprised of a woven mesh in which an array
of parallel wires (20) is retained in spaced relation by a transverse array of
nonconducting strands (30), the mesh being enclosed or encased within a resilient
matrix. The conductive wires are on a close pitch to yield greater current carrying
capacity and achieve a lower more stable resistance. With this construction a great
number of wires are in contact with each contact pad to yield greater current carrying
capacity and corresponding lower resistance. The closer pitch wires also provide
greater redundancy of contact points. This structure can be custom configured in as
many layers or in a variety of shapes as is desirable to achieve a given electrical
performance. The woven mesh can be wrapped around a shaped substrate to provide
electrical connections in a desired shape. The woven mesh interconnect can be
integrated as part of a boot, wherein the boot receives an electrical device therein and
the woven mesh interconnect provides electrical connection from the device within the
boot to outside the boot. The woven mesh interconnect can be layered and shaped to
form an interconnect which not only provides electrical interconnection but also
provides a biasing force due to the shape of the device.

Abstract: A system and method for performing call signalling
for multimedia call setups. A user equipped with calling
terminals of various types may initiate a call from any of
these terminals, and the call is intercepted and handled by the
system. A calling agent looks up an E-mail address for the
called party, and sends a setup request E-mail to a called
agent associated with the called party. The called agent
determines the current terminal that the callee is using, and
together with the calling agent a call medium and other
parameters are established. Then a connection is made between
a calling terminal and the current terminal. This provides a
generic signalling system for a callee using a wireline
terminal, wireless terminal, or H.323 terminal to be connected
to a called terminal also being any one of these or other
types.

Abstract: A stable combustion without generating smoke or misfire is performed by
selectively conducting a first combustion mode and a second combustion mode. In the
first combustion mode, an amount of an inert gas, e.g., EGR gas, provided to a
combustion chamber (5) is made to be larger than an amount of the inert gas that causes
the generation amount of soot to become a peak amount. This causes substantially no
soot to be generated. In the second combustion mode, the amount of the inert gas
provided to the combustion chamber (5) is made to be smaller than the amount that
causes the generation amount of soot to become a peak amount. The injection timing is
quickened if the injection amount is increased in the first combustion mode, and the
injection timing is delayed if the injection amount is reduced.
