Title: Headlight which is kept on as long as passing switch is held on
Inventor: OSHIO HIROHIKO
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: When a passing operation is performed during the off state of a vehicle headlamp, a light source bulb 18 is normally turned on while a passing switch is held "on." When the passing switch is turned off, the light source bulb is turned off after it has been kept "on" for a predetermined time. The light source bulb 18 is held "on" without being turned off on condition that the interval between the time the passing switch turned off and the time it is turned on again is within the predetermined time of. Consequently, the light source bulb 18 is held "on" without interruption when the continuous passing operations are performed with the effect of preventing the life of the light source bulb from being shortened. The headlamp beam may be selectively switched from high beam to low beam by displacement of an optical member, e.g. shade 22.

Title: Low resonance texturing of magnetic media
Inventor: KUO DAVID S
IPC: G11B5/54
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: A magnetic data storage medium includes a dedicated transducing head contact zone for engaging an air bearing slider, primarily when the disk is stationary. The contact zone is textured with at least one elongate ridge extending in the circumferential direction. When a single ridge is formed, it runs in a spiral path in multiple turns with a predetermined radial pitch at least ten times the nominal ridge width. The ridge protrudes axially outward from a nominal surface plane of the contact zone, and is rounded and free of sharp edges. The ridge, or plurality of ridge sections, can be formed by a texturing process that includes directing a laser beam, focused, onto the contact zone surface. While the disk is rotated to maintain a constant circumferential speed relative to the laser, it also is translated radially to provide the desired radial pitch. The laser is operated in a CW (continuous wave) mode, to create a more uniform ridge.

Title: Centrifugal evaporator with 2-dimensional rotation.
Inventor: COLE MICHAEL
IPC: B01D1/22
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: A centrifugal evaporator for concentration of samples contained in tubes 61 comprises a holder 62 for supporting the tubes, a rotor 64, a vacuum chamber 76 and means 63 for causing the holder to perform a cyclic movement relative to the rotor. This rotation is such that the tubes are caused to move from a first position in which one side wall is nearest the rotor axis to a second position in which the opposite side wall is nearest the rotor axis. The rotation may be parallel or orthogonal (Fig. 5) to the longitudinal axes of the tubes. In operation, the rotation of the holder 62 mounted on the shaft 63, in combination with rotation about the main shaft 71, causes the liquid sample in each tube 61 to be swept around the inside walls of the tube, thereby increasing the exposed surface area and improving evaporation. In one embodiment the centrifuge has a rotatable drive shaft 63 connected to the holder. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 5) the holder is pivoted (14, Fig. 5) relative to the rotor (16, Fig. 5) and the pivot point 14 is moved rapidly up and down, so that the liquid sample is alternatively slushed from one side wall to the other.

Title: Process for heat treating metal alloys particularly aluminium-based alloys

IPC: B22D21/00
Filed: 1975-04-02
Abstract: 1499934 Alloy treatment in pressure die casting SOC DE VENTE DE L'ALUMINIUM PECHINEY 3 April 1975 [4 April 1974 13650/75 Heading B3F In a process for treating a metal alloy in the form of a mixture of liquid and solid phases, the normally cast alloy is heated to a temperature between the liquidus and solidus points to liquefy a well defined proportion, greater than 40% by weight, and is maintained for a period of a few minutes to a few hours, preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour, so that the original dendritic phase at least starts to globularize. The solid/liquid material thus formed may be pressure cast into a mould at pressures similar to those used in casting liquid metal, with the advantage of reducing die wear, better quality and greater throughput, since the heat needed to be removed by the die is reduced. The treated material may be cooled and reheated without affecting the thixotropic characteristics. Examples of aluminium alloys of the A-S9U3 [Al-9%, Si-3% Cu) type and A-4USG [0À2% Fe, 4À3% Cu, 0À75% Si, 0À5% Mg and 0À6% Mn) type continuously cast in the normal manner and then reheated to 580‹ and 630‹ C. respectively show that the time held at temperature significantly affected the thixotropic casting properties of the materials.
