Patent EP-0817330-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TABATA MASAAKI
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1995-07-11
Abstract: A waterproof seal has at its rear portion a wire
embracing portion for embracing an outer periphery of a
wire. The wire embracing portion includes a flexible
tubular portion having a reduced thickness, and a
thickened tubular portion extending from the flexible
tubular portion. Because buckling strength is enhanced by
the thickened tubular portion, the wire can be smoothly
passed through the waterproof seal from the distal end of
the wire embracing portion without buckling the wire
embracing portion and hence without closing an insertion
hole. The flexible tubular portion is easily bent about
an inner peripheral lip in accordance with the movement of
the wire, thereby preventing the bending force from acting
on and deforming the main waterproof portion.
Alternatively, a groove is formed in one end surface of a
rubber plug body, and is disposed around an outer
periphery of a proximal end of a tubular portion connected
to the rubber plug body. Tension is alleviated between
the proximal end of the tubular portion and the rubber
plug body in accordance with the deformation of the
groove.

Abstract: A stirring element (10), especially a gasing stirring element for stirring liquids and introducing a gas, preferably air, to the liquids. The stirring element has a hub (12) for attachment to a stirring shaft and a support disk (14) joined to the hub (12), a plurality of stirring blades (16) being attached to a peripheral edge of the support disk (14). To achieve a low output power coefficient, each stirring blade (16) is made of a wedge-shape that is directed in the direction of rotary motion of the stirring element (10). Preferably, radially inner end sections (22, 24) of two sides (18, 20) of the stirring blade (16) are angled relative to sides (18, 20) outwardly with reference to the direction of rotary motion of the stirring element (10). The stirring element (10) simplifies gas feed and prevents clogs. By providing the support disk (14) with a conical shape having a ring of teeth (26) on its outer edge, a uniform distribution and good dispersion of the gas bubbles is obtainable.

Abstract: A packaging device (10) includes upper and lower container portions (14,12) that support respective frames (42) that, in turn, support respective support films (46). The frames and the container portions are configured such that the act of installing the frames in the container portions automatically increases tension in the films. This can be accomplished by rotating opposed portions of the frames in opposite directions, by displacing the film out of the plane in which it is originally supported by the frame, or by displacing opposed portions of the frame away from one another. The film (46) of the lower container portion (12) is recessed with respect to a peripheral lip (20) of the lower container portion, while the film (46) of the upper container portion (14) protrudes beyond the peripheral lip of the upper container portion. In this way objects are prevented from rolling out of the lower container portion, yet the films are brought into face-to-face contact when the packaging device is closed.

Abstract: Toner particles and a process for making them comprising: (1) emulsion polymerisation of a mixture of 55-80 parts styrene, 1-25 parts acrylate, 1-20 parts acrylonitrile and 0.5-5 parts acrylic acid to produce a latex stabilised with an ionic surfactant (and optionally a non-ionic surfactant); (2) blending the latex under high shear conditions with an aqueous pigment or colourant dispersion stabilised with an ionic surfactant of opposite charge to that used to stabilise the latex; (3) producing electrostatically bound toner sized aggregates by flocculating this mixture by heat treating to a temperature of 30[deg]C  Tg > 10[deg]C; (4) heating the aggregate suspension to a temperature Tg+10-50[deg]C; and optionally (5) washing, drying and dry blending the toner particles with other additives. Preferably the emulsion polymerisation stage (1) is with 5-10 parts acrylonitrile. The ionic surfactant is sodium dodecyl, dodecylbenzene or dodecylnaphthalene sulphonate and accounts for 0.01-10% by weight of the reaction mixture in stages (1) and (2). If a non-ionic surfactant is used this accounts for up to 5% by weight of the reaction mixture in stage (1) and is chosen from polyvinyl alcohol, methalose; methyl, ethyl, propyl, hydroxy ethyl or carboxy methyl cellulose's; or polyoxyethylene cetyl, lauryl, octyl, octyl phenyl, oleyl, nonyl phenyl or stearyl ethers; or polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate or dialkylphenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy)ethanol. The pigment or colourant is carbon black, magnetite, cyan, yellow, magenta or mixtures of these. The volume average aggregate size and thus final toner particle size is 1-20mu m diameter with size distribution (GSD)  1.35.

Abstract: According to the current invention, there is provided a
system for transferring data into and out of a first-in, first-out
(FIFO) data buffer. The buffer has a read pointer and a
write pointer. The system comprises a comparator circuit,
multiple counter blocks, and multiple flag registers. The
counter blocks and flag registers are connected to a system
clock to provide timing information and capacity indications to
the comparator. The comparator circuit continuously monitors
the multiple counter blocks, thereby tracking buffer pointer
positions. The flag registers indicate relative buffer capacity
and provide early indication to the system that the buffer is
almost full or almost empty in appropriate conditions. The
comparator circuit continuously evaluates the read and write
counter blocks and the flag registers to determine the ability
of the buffer to accept or transmit data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing pulp, from raw lignocellulosic material based on annual or perennial plants, or residues of such plants. The process comprises impregnating said raw material with an aqueous soda solution such that the weight proportion of soda is substantially comprises between 3.5 % and 10 % based on the dry material and that the weight ratio of hydration of the cellulosic material after impregnation is at least equal to 40 %, and subjecting the lignocellulosic material thus impregnated to vapocracking which consists in pressurising said material under saturated vapour conditions and producing a sudden expansion through a direct passage valve. The solid fraction which forms the pulp is then separated from the aqueous phase and the hydrosoluble products. The process yields good quality pulps characterized particularly by a braking length higher than 5500 meters, and having a high lignine ratio (KAPPA index comprises between 60 and 65).

Abstract: Light from an image displayed on a display screen 10 is transmitted to an observer's eye 11 by way of a dynamic optical element 12 (such as a spatial light modulator or an electrically switchable holographic composite) which acts as a lens. The characteristics of the dynamic optical element 12 can be altered so that it acts sequentially to direct light of different colors to the observer's eye. In one optional embodiment emitters 17 on the display screen 10 emit infra-red radiation which is projected by the dynamic lens 12 as a broad wash onto the eye 11. Infra-red radiation reflected back from the eye 11 is focussed by the dynamic lens 12 onto detectors 18 also provided on the display screen 10. The detectors 18 are thus able to sense the direction of eye gaze, and the dynamic lens 12 is controlled in dependence on this to create an area of high resolution in an area of interest centered on the direction of gaze, which is moved to follow the eye gaze as its direction alters. Other than in the area of interest, the dynamic lens 12 has a relatively low resolution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method aimed at producing in an economical manner high-quality active and passive optoelectronic components presenting a high degree of integration and great packing density. According to the invention a high-quality structurable layer of coating polymer is applied to an optoelectronic component. A structure is produced by means of an etching mask in conjunction with highly anisotropic deep etching and the resulting structure filled with monomers by means of gaseous or liquid phase diffusion. Depending on the type of monomer used for diffusion and both temperature and reaction time the optical characteristics of the optical component can be modified in a targeted manner. The method provided for in the invention makes it possible to raise the packing density of future integrated monomode optical devices and allows for the cost-efficient production of large numbers of such devices.
