Patent EP-0839486-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GORT-BARTEN LESLIE
IPC: H01R13/707
Filed: 1997-10-14
Abstract: A cordless electric kettle comprises a power base unit (10) to be
connected to a power supply and an extension unit (15) connected to a
kettle body (14), the units being moulded from plastics material and each
incorporating an electrical connector (13, 17) located substantially on the
kettle vertical axis (19), the electrical connectors being interengagable to
form an electrical connection with one another when the kettle is placed on
the base unit at any orientation around the axis. The kettle includes an
ON/OFF switch (20) movable to an ON position by a manually operable
actuator (23, 25), biasing means (32) biasing the switch to an OFF position,
a plunger (30) associated with one of the connectors and arranged to be
depressed through a predetermined distance when the connectors are fully
engaged, depression of the plunger by the predetermined distance being
arranged to disable the biasing means such that the ON/OFF switch may
remain in the ON position, the predetermined amount being such that on
separation of the base unit (10) and extension unit (15) the biasing means
will be restored so as to urge the switch to the OFF position before the
electrical connection between the connectors is broken. The base unit and
extension unit have engagement parts (41, 42, 43, 12) respectively on
upwardly facing and downwardly facing surfaces at least some of which are
arranged to substantially always engage one another when the plunger is
sufficiently depressed to disable the biasing means despite small
inaccuracies in the dimensions of the moulded units, said engagement being
achieved by springing one or more of the engagement parts (41, 42, 43) by
forming adjacent slots (41A, 42A, 44) in the moulding to give limited axial
movement inwardly from a rest position. Only a larger portion (43B) of an
engagement part (43) need be sprung.

Abstract: The ink to be impregnated into the figure portion 6 of
the processed stamp plate 10 in the stamp device 11 is formed
of polyoxyethylene-alkyl-phenyl ether and oil soluble dye
melted therein and regulated to have the viscosity in a range
of 300 - 2000 cps, more preferably, 500 - 1500 cps. This
stamp device 11 can thus extremely improve all of stamping
characteristics, i.e., stamping durability, ink spreading
condition, ink seeping condition, ink permeation speed, and
the number of trial stamping times.

Abstract: The device includes a separating tool having at least two flexible elements (13,13') which are held in a support (14). The flexible elements have a width in the direction perpendicular to the planes of wafers, held together by forces of attraction, which is less than the greatest separation of the wafers.

Patent EP-0848193-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PEREZ CORBALAN SERGIO
IPC: F16K7/17
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: The valve of the invention basically consists in a rigid
valve body with a flow inlet opening (4.1) and one flow outlet (6.1),
which are oriented in a substantially cross way to said inlet
opening. The body of the valve has a main cavity (10.1) between the
flow inlet and outlet with a valve seat (8.1) in the limit of the
main cavity and the flow inlet. In addition, the body of the
valve has one or more ducts for the control flow inlet, and
one or more ducts for the outlet of the same which are
associated with the control flow transfer means of the valve.
These inlet ducts of control flow may be supplied from a
network which is independent from the main flow. 
     The valve has an elastomeric body (20.1) in charge of regulating
the flow by its opening or closing, depending on the
difference of pressures produced between its walls.
The elastomeric body is located inside the main cavity of the
valve, said elastomeric body being hollow and opened in one of
its axial ends. This elastomeric body is made up of at least
two coaxial zones: one sealing zone (20.1) and one second zone of
radial sealing (26.1). These zones of the elastomeric body perform
specific functions during the operation of the valve, thus
avoiding the participation of separate components, which is
translated into a complex design of the valve and in an
increase of the manufacture costs.

Abstract: Der piezoelektrische Effekt eines optischen Sensors (6) aus Quarz ist temperaturabhängig. Ohne Korrektur- oder Kompensationsmaßnahme führt diese Temperaturabhängigkeit zu einer Verfälschung des Meßsignals, wenn die Temperatur des Sensorelementes nicht konstant gehalten wird. Um für variable Sensortemperaturen Ts genaue Messungen zu erhalten, wird ein temperaturkorrigiertes Meßsignal M gemäß: M = U13 · (1 + α · (T0 - Ts)) bereitgestellt, wobei U13 ein Regelsignal, T0 eine vorgebbare Kalibrierungstemperatur des Sensors (6) und α den Temperaturkoeffizienten des Sensors (6) bedeuten. Dabei wird die Sensortemperatur (Ts) gemäß: Ts = f(K, E(UTr)) berechnet, wobei K ein aus Lichtleistungssignalen (U1, U2) berechneter, von der Sensortemperatur (Ts) abhängiger und zum Interferenzkontrast proportionaler Kontrastparameter ist, UTr ein Signalempfänger-Temperatursignal und Tr eine Signalempfängertemperatur bedeuten. Der Kontrastparameter (K) wird dadurch erreicht, daß einem Regelsignal (U13) eines Differenzspannungsreglers (11) ein Oszillatorsignal (UHF) mit vorgebbarer Amplitude überlagert wird, dessen Frequenz (f) mindestens so groß ist, daß eine durch das Oszillatorsignal (UHF) bewirkte Lichtmodulation in der Empfangsfaser (r) durch den Differenzspannungsregler (11) nicht kompensiert wird. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pet door assembly for insertion within a hole formed in a wall having a frame, e.g., a pair of exterior frames, and a security cover. The security cover has a main body with vertical edges and vertical flanges formed near each vertical edge. One of the frame members includes vertically extending channel members for slidably receiving the vertical flanges of the security cover. Each channel member includes an integrally formed wall portion, a portion of which is located inwardly of the flange when the cover is disposed within the channel. The channel members and the vertical flanges engage in an interlocking fit to prevent the cover from horizontally extruding out of the channel, such as by a force applied substantially normal to the security cover, thus preventing the security cover from dislodging from the frame. The assembly can include a central inner frame, which is located between the pair of exterior frames, that has mounting structure for mounting centrally a door in the inner frame and over the pet passageway. Each of the exterior frames includes a rear surface having a plurality of fastener sleeves extending outwardly therefrom and having a longitudinally extending slot formed therein. Additionally, the central frame has at least one fastener bracket formed along opposed edges of the inner frame. The bracket includes one or more fastener-receiving apertures having a key portion that is configured to seat within the slot formed within the fastener sleeve. The mating engagement of the fastener sleeve and the key prevents movement of one or both of the exterior frames relative to the inner frame. One of the exterior frames can also optionally include a latching assembly mounted to a top portion thereof. The latching assembly includes a movable latch element that is alternately disposable between a locking position for preventing upward movement of the security cover when assembled therewith, and an unlocked position for allowing upward movement and thus disassembly of the security cover from the frame.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un condensateur (4) qui se décharge dans une lampe au xénon (5) déclenchée de façon répétée par un générateur (6) d'impulsions, et qu'on charge de façon incrémentielle entre les déclenchements avec un courant de retour dans des enroulements primaire et secondaire (9, 8) d'un transformateur du circuit onduleur (1). L'enroulement primaire (9) constitue la charge de collecteur d'un transistor (11) commutant entre un état conducteur et un état non conducteur, en fonction du retour par un enroulement tertiaire (10) du transformateur. La tension appliquée au circuit émetteur de base du transistor (11) est limitée par une diode Zener (18) connectée en série avec un condensateur (19) et une diode (20) connectés en dérivation. La diode (18) conduit en sens inverse pendant qu'une tension de retour est induite à l'enroulement (10), afin de décharger le condensateur (19) de façon incrémentielle, en vue de stabiliser la tension chargée du condensateur (4) de charge par rapport aux variations du courant continu d'entrée. Un circuit (21-23) de rétablissement c.c. fournit un courant de base au transistor (11) à partir de l'enroulement tertiaire (10) et les condensateurs (24, 25) contribuent à la stabilisation du circuit.
