Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'améliorer la fréquence de résonance modale d'un panneau (2) dans le cas d'un équipement acoustique à onde de flexion par distribution des modes de résonance. Ce procédé implique d'analyser la distribution des fréquences de résonance modale du panneau, d'identifier une fréquence de résonance modale s'écartant de façon non uniforme des fréquences de résonance modale adjacente, d'identifier un emplacement dans ce panneau présentant à ladite fréquence de résonance modale un comportement anti-nodal, et enfin de modifier l'impédance locale pour obtenir en cet emplacement (6) une vibration de l'onde de flexion. Ce procédé convient particulièrement aux haut-parleurs (1) en mode distribué.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting an inventory of
tags, wherein each tag is assigned a Tag ID and a
manufacture number. Each tag can be attached to an item to
take inventory of those items. A tag reader transmits a
wake-up signal followed by at least one clock signal. Each
tag increments a first tag count in response to the clock
signals, and transmits the Tag ID assigned to the tag when
the first tag count corresponds to the Tag ID assigned to
the tag records the transmitted Tag Ids. when more than
one tag transmits simultaneously, the tag stores the Tag ID
in order to resolve the contention when the first read
cycle is complete. In the second read cycle, the tag
reader transmits the contended Tag ID followed by at least
one clock signal. Each tag that contended for the
transmitted Tag ID increments a second tag count in
response to the clock signals, and transmits the
manufacturer number assigned to the tag when the second tag
count corresponds to the manufacturer number assigned to
the tag. The tag reader records transmitted Tag Ids,
completing the inventory of the tags.

Abstract: An electric power conversion device comprises
switching elements 2a, 2b making up a push-pull converter,
a pulse transformer T, a rectification diode D1, a
rectification diode D2, a choke coil L, a smoothing
capacitor C, a DC magnetic deviation prevention means 3,
and an inverter 4. The DC magnetic deviation prevention
means 3 detects the coil currents I1, I2 flowing in the
primary windings M1, M2 of the pulse transformer T. By
controlling (shortening) the on time of the switching
element having a greater amount of current, the coil
currents I1, I2 are balanced (I1 = I2), thereby preventing
the magnetic deviation phenomena of the pulse transformer
T.

Abstract: The present invention provides a traversing drum used in an automatic
winder or the like, the traversing drum being made of ceramics and thus having
a small mass. A drum main body of a traversing drum 1 used in an automatic
winder or the like is composed of a double cylinder including inner cylinders
5A, 5B and an outer cylinder 9. The inner cylinders 5A, 5B and the outer
cylinder 9 are integrally molded of a ceramic burned member. Consequently, a
traversing drum can be manufactured which is rigid and light even if it is thin.
It is thus possible to significantly reduce the power consumption of a
rotative driving source for the traversing drum 1 and to extend the lifetime of
the rotative driving source (Fig. 1).
