Patent EP-1039183-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TURNQUIST NORMAN ARNOLD
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: A seal assembly (10) is shown, the invention also including a rotary machine,
such as a steam turbine, containing such a seal. A stator (54)
circumferentially surrounds a row of rotor blades (52). The stator (54) includes
an upstream tooth-seal region (28, 30), a downstream brush-seal region (38),
and an intervening fluid expansion chamber (68) all radially near the blade
tips. Debris in the fluid stream is broken down into smaller particles by the
tooth-seal region (28, 30), and the smaller particles are slowed down by the
fluid expansion chamber (68) such that minimal damage is caused to the
downstream bristles in the brush seal region (38).

Abstract: A temperature detection hole (12) having a bottom, which
is sealed against the inside of the battery case (3) while
being open to the outside, is formed in the battery case. The
bottom wall (12a) of the temperature detection hole is in
contact with or in close proximity to the elements for
electromotive force. Engaging hooks (14) are formed on lateral
portions of the temperature detection hole (12) of the battery
case (3), while a temperature sensor (13) is provided with
elastically deformable engaging flanges (21). When the
temperature sensor (13) is mounted removably in the temperature
detection hole (12), the elastic restorative force of the
engaging flanges (21) that are engaged in elastic deformation
with the engaging hooks (14) is applied to the temperature
sensor (13). The sensor end (13a) of the temperature sensor
(13) is thereby pressed against the bottom wall (12a) of the
temperature detection hole (12).

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a communications system (180) for routing a
call. A call to a subscriber is received. Call routing information is identified for
the subscriber (1004). Responsive to identifying call routing information for the
subscriber, a determination is then made as to whether a function has been
selected for routing the call (1006). Responsive to a determination that a
function has been selected for routing the call, the call is routed using a
sequence of destinations associated with the function (1010). Responsive to an
absence of a determination that the function has been selected for routing the
call, the call is routed using a call routing schedule based on time (1014).
Destinations to which calls are actually completed are monitored and the
sequence in which destinations are selected and the sequence of destinations
may be altered depending on the call completions made to destinations within
the sequence of destinations (1114).

Abstract: An ink jet recording head comprises a resistive
heat generating element (2); and a non-linear type element (1)
having MIM type current voltage characteristics that
present the resistive value thereof being higher at the
time of applying lower voltage than the resistive value
at the time of applying higher voltage for driving the
resistive heat generating element (2) without depending on
polarity. Here, the resistive heat generating element (2)
and the non-linear type element (1) are connected in
series. For this ink jet recording head, the resistive
heat generating element (2) and the non-linear type element (1)
are both contributive to the generation of bubbles (61,62) for
discharging ink. Hence, in addition to heat generated
by the resistive heat generating element (2) for bubbling
ink in the ink flow paths (31), the thermal energy generated
by the non-linear type element (1), which has been
discarded as heat loss conventionally, is utilized so
as to prevent the reduction of the efficiency of the
ink jet recording head.
