Patent EP-1092620-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAGURA HIDENORI
IPC: B62J11/00
Filed: 2000-10-09
Abstract: Object: To provide a battery locking apparatus which
allows a user to perform an operation of releasing a
battery from engagement with an accommodating case for
the battery in a standing easy posture of the user and
does not have anything which projects into a stepping
over portion. 
     Solving Means: A battery (4) is disposed along the rear
side of a seat post (23), and engagement means (an engaging
hook 52) for preventing removal of the battery through
engagement is provided on the rear side of a lower
portion of the battery (4). An operation portion 45e as
operation means (an operation lever 45) for acting upon
the engagement means is provided on the rear side of an
upper portion of the battery (4). A user can operate an
operation portion 45e of the operation means (45) in a
standing easy posture to cancel the engagement of the
engagement means (52) to remove the battery (4). Since the
battery (4) is supported on the rear side of a lower
portion thereof by the engagement means and on the rear
side of an upper portion thereof by an upper position
control member on a battery accommodating case (5), the
battery (4) is positioned accurately upon mounting or 
removing of the battery (4) onto or from the accommodating
case (5).

Abstract: An AWG is provided which realizes high wavelength isolation at low cost. To
achieve this, Bragg gratings which produce refractive index modulation of a waveguide
are formed at even spacing for each of the respective waveguides of an input/output
waveguide (22), being a multi-core port, which demultiplexes wavelength multiplexed
light which is input from an input/output waveguide (21), being a single core port, for
each of respective wavelength components. The central wavelength of the Bragg
grating is adjusted so as to be on the short wavelength side of the side lobe of the
wavelength component branched to the respective waveguides.

Abstract: A printer and printing method suitable for high speed multicolor printing. A paper transport
section (112) advances the printing medium (113), and a print head (110) prints text or graphics
on the printing medium (113) by driving printing elements corresponding to a plurality of colors.
A transport unit (111) moves the print head (110) orthogonally to the direction in which the
printing medium (113) travels. A plurality of image buffer units (109) store information indicating
where the printing elements are driven. A logic device (102) performs a logic operation on
information read from image buffer units (109) to detect whether at least one of the printing
elements is driven at a particular dot column position. A logic operation results memory (114)
stores the logic operation results correlated to a print head (110) position. Using the information
stored in the logic operation results memory (114), a print head movement range calculator (102)
determines the range of print head (110) movement, and a movement controller (102) drives a
the transport unit (111) to move the print head (110) in the obtained movement range.

Abstract: Disengagement of C-clips (42) in turbine shroud assemblies (10) is prevented
by providing each C-clip (42) with at least one anti-rocking pad (46). The anti
rocking pad (46) is disposed on a radially inner surface of the C-clip (42) so as

Abstract: An air distribution apparatus for a vehicle
includes a partition disposed within a housing (11) which
separates a first longitudinal airstream from a blower (16)
and a cooling element into first and second airstreams,
each separately directed through a heater element (22) to form
first and second recombined airstreams. The partition
redirects the first and second recombined airstreams to a
second direction angularly disposed from the first
direction of air flow to enable the first and second
output airstreams to be separately transmitted to first
and second separate zones within the vehicle.
Independently movable blend valves are interposed in the
first and second airstreams to provide independent
selection of temperature of the first and second output

Title: Improved galvanometer scanner
Inventor: BROWN DAVID C
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A galvanometer unit comprises a limited-rotation motor with a load element such as a mirror attached to a shaft extending from the motor. In a servo loop that controls the angular position of the mirror, a position-sensor attached to the shaft provides position feedback information. The sensor includes a rotor which is positioned at the null point of the fundamental torsional resonance mode of the rotating system, thereby essentially eliminating feedback components resulting from the resonance. If the motor armature is supported for rotation on ball or roller bearings, the controller for the motor causes complete rotation of the armature from time to time, thereby distributing bearing wear around the bearing races and prolonging the useful life of the bearings.

oscillator of the present invention, even such a micro vacuum leak that hardly
ill-affects the laser output can be detected with ease while it is at work. This
makes it possible to apply an appropriate maintenance work beforehand on
the vacuum seal. Thus, reliable gas laser oscillators can be offered in
accordance with the present invention.

restrict refrigerant flow in response to one or more parameters that detect or
anticipate a high side transient pressure condition. The parameters may include

Abstract: A method of minimising torque disturbances in an
internal combustion engine (13) for a vehicle having a lean
NOx trap (53) that is periodically purged. The method
includes the steps of generating feedforward values of first
engine characteristics as a function of desired engine
torque and generating feedback values of second engine
characteristics as a function of intake manifold pressure.
Target values are then calculated for predetermined engine
variables based on the first and second engine
characteristics. Engine variables are then set to the
target values to compensate for torque disturbances
resulting from the lean NOx trap purge cycle. According to
the disclosed method, the feedforward path schedules the
throttle, fuel rate and spark timing based on an engine
model to produce a demanded engine torque. The feedback
path then uses the values of fuel rate and spark timing to
compensate for torque variations. This is accomplished by
determining an error term as a function of a reference
trajectory intake manifold pressure and measured intake
manifold pressure.
