Patent EP-0872400-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAXISCH PETER
IPC: B62B9/14
Filed: 1998-04-03
Abstract: A baby carriage hood consists of a flexible cover
mounted on a U-shaped frame member (28) which has each end
secured to a respective side of the baby carriage body by
a respective pivot joint (30, 32). Each pivot joint has a
support member (40) secured to the baby carriage, a shaft
(46) fast with the support member (40), and a bracket (50)
secured to the U-shaped frame member (28). The bracket
(50) is mounted on the shaft (46) and is movable radially
relative to the shaft (46) so as to bring the locking means
(54) on the bracket (50) into engagement with the
complementary locking means (48) on the support member (40)
to resist relative angular movement. A spring (56, 58)
biases the locking means (48, 54) into engagement. The
U-shaped frame member (28) is received in a fabric sleeve
forming part of the cover. The width of the sleeve is
sufficient to allow passage of said bracket (50) during
removal from the frame member (28).

Abstract: An electrical connector has a detecting member 17 is
provided on the upper face of a locking member 9 so that it
can slide freely in an anterior-posterior direction. A pair
of arms 38 protrude in an anterior direction from two edges
located in a width-wise direction of the lower face of the
detecting member 17. A pair of plate-shaped ribs 41 which
protrude upwards from the upper face of a corresponding male
housing M correspond to the arms 38. If the detecting
member 17 has been stopped in an advanced position before
the housings M and F are fitted together, the anterior faces
of the ribs 41 push against head members 39 of the arms 38
while the fitting operation is taking place and, as a
result, the detecting member 17 is pushed back in a
posterior direction. When the housings M and F are fitted
further, the anterior end of the locking member 9 rises on
top of the stopping member 15 and inclines. The detecting
member 17 inclines together with it, and this causes the
head members 39 of the arms 38 to rise onto the upper faces
of the ribs 41. This allows the detecting member 17 to be
reinserted. A half-fitted state of the connectors can thus
be reliably detected.

Abstract: The gauge and cess panels (3, 4) of a level crossing
creep apart lengthwise of the track (1, 2) and need closing
up again from time to time. A device (5, 24) for this
consists of a member (8, 26) that engages under or over a
rail (1) and has a portion (10, 27) extending transversely
to the rail carrying a cam (6) or screw (28) for engaging
the end of a panel (3, 4). When the cam or screw is turned,
the reaction from the panel (3, 4) jams the member (8, 26)
on the rail (1), and further turning forces the panel
lengthwise of the track. Another device for gauge panels is
a two armed toggle (29) with a cam (31) at its pivot (30),
the arms (29) being in a shallow V with their free ends (32)
braced against the insides of the rails (1).

Title: Diacritical processing for unconstrained, on-line handwriting recognition using a forward search
Inventor: SENI GIOVANNI
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: Handwritten ink is scanned to identify potential diacriticals. A list of diacriticals
(19) is generated by traversing the ink. Potential diacritical-containing characters are
processed by scoring them with and without a diacritical to generate a first and second
score. The first score is compared to the second score to in order to make a decision as
to which variant of the potential diacritical-containing character produced a highest
score. The highest score is used as a score for a theory and the decision is recorded. A
data structure (50) is added to the theory. Each data unit in the data structure (50)
corresponds to an entry in the list of diacriticals (19). As a new theory is created by
propagation, contents of the data structure (50) are copied into the new theory. Thus,
the data structure (50) is used to ensure that all handwritten ink is used and is used
only once.

and then this is put on the resion to be applied of the patient, a
mold fitting on the configuration of the resion can be obtained
and the water-curable resin (2) is cured in such a state. By doing
so, the position retainer fitting on the body figure of individual
person and having an adequate elasticity, can be obtained.

reducing air bubble generation in a liquid. The
apparatus includes a liquid, conveying rolls (7-10) for
passage of the strip through the liquid, and ultrasonic
testing probes (20) arranged in the liquid for testing
the strip. A conveying roll (8 or 9) in contact with
the liquid is fully immersed. Air bubble generation is
inhibited to improve the testing reliability by at
least one of: (a) shielding (16) the liquid dropping
from the portion of the strip leaving the liquid; (b)
reducing the dropping force of the liquid onto the
liquid surface (6a) by inclining the strip; (c)
installing the fully immersed conveying roll (8 or 9)
at a depth of at least 5 mm in the liquid; and (d)
using a carrying speed of less than about 200 m/min.
Upon manufacturing steel strips, testing is carried out
at the stage of the hot-rolled steel sheet, or,
preferably, in the pickling equipment.

Abstract: Microcellular polyurethane elastomers having sharply reduced or virtually no urea linkages may be prepared without resort to organic physical blowing agents by frothing a frothable mixture containing isocyanate reactive polyols and chain extenders, and a frothable isocyanate component. The isocyanate component is derived by reacting a stoichiometric excess of a di- or polyisocyanate with a polyol component containing an ultra-low unsaturation polyol. The froth-produced elastomers surprisingly exhibit greatly improved tear strengths, compression set, and other physical properties as compared to all water-blown microcellular elastomers of the same density.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système qui permet de traiter les dérangements survenant dans les communications par fibres optiques à multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde (MRL) entre deux terminaux (1, 2) connectés par au moins deux fibres optiques (11, 12), et qui surveille l'état des communications sur deux fibres optiques. Si les deux fibres optiques (11, 12) fonctionnent normalement, un premier ensemble de canaux est acheminé sur la première fibre optique (11) et un second ensemble de canaux (ces ensembles de canaux étant réciproquement exclusifs) est acheminé sur la seconde fibre optique (12). Néanmoins, si un dérangement est détecté sur l'une ou l'autre des fibres optiques(12, 11) le premier terminal (1) associe le premier et le second ensemble de canaux et achemine les canaux associés sur la fibre optique restante vers le second terminal (2). Ce second terminal (2) sépare les canaux associés de façon à recréer le premier et le deuxième ensemble de canaux. On peut utiliser des éminceurs de longueurs d'onde (101, 104) pour multiplexer et démultiplexer les canaux au niveau des deux terminaux. Cette architecture permet au premier et au second ensemble de canaux de s'intercaler mutuellement.
