Patent EP-0482348-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIKAMI TOSHIHIRO
IPC: C03B37/014
Filed: 1991-09-18
Abstract: An optical fiber soot synthesis apparatus which synthesizes around a fiber starting member(2) forming a core of an optical fiber an optical fiber soot(5) forming a cladding and which accurately calculates in real time the mass of the optical fiber soot when deposited so as to control the synthesis of the optical fiber soot. The optical fiber soot synthesis apparatus measures the weight of the rotating fiber starting member(2) and optical fiber soot(5) by a pair of soot weight detection sensors(16A, 16B) arranged at a fiber starting member support and rotational drive mechanisms(4A, 4B) divided so as to prevent the weight of the rotational drive mechanisms from having much of an effect. The computation and control apparatus(70) performs operational processing from the measured weights and calculates the mass of only the optical fiber soot(5) synthesized on the fiber starting member(2) in real time. The computation and calculation apparatus(70) refers to the calculated mass to control the synthesis of the optical fiber soot(5).

Abstract: The device consists of a block (1) in the form of a sleeve whose bottom end is recessed (1C) to take the reaction flange (11). Fitted inside it is a further sleeve (2) in which is inserted a plunger (3). Radial holes (2A) are machined in the sleeve to accommodate balls (4). These balls initially engage with a radial groove (4A) in the outer sleeve (1) to lock the two sleeves together and form a chamber (1B) at their bottom end. There is a further radial groove (4B) in the plunger. Round the bottom of the sleeve are inserted magnets (5). In operation, the valve (14) spring (11A) flange (11) with the split collars (12,13) are loosely assembled together and the flange is pressed downwards by the sleeve assembly (1,2) so that the split collars are forced up into the chamber and held by the magnets. The valve quill, engaging the plunger, forces it upwards and thus allowing the sleeve to disengage and rise with the flange. This allows the split collars to engage with those the valve quill.

Abstract: The differential pressure gauge according to the invention has two pressure chambers (1, 2), which are provided in a frame (7) - for example by milling - and are connected via a pressure line (5, 6) in each case to the fluids whose pressure difference is to be determined. The pressure chambers (1, 2) are each closed by a diaphragm (3, 4). The stroke of the diaphragm (3) is transmitted to a rod (10) which is guided on the frame (7) by a flexible element (12); the diaphragm (4) is connected to one terminal of a sensor (displacement sensor) (13), while the other terminal is connected to a projection (11) of the rod (10). The flexible element (12) can be rotated about its longitudinal axis by means of a screwdriver which engages in a slot (19), and has on its length a plurality of cylindrical segments alternating with segments having a non-circular ellipse of inertia. It can be achieved in this way that the movement of the projection (11) does not extend parallel to the axes (A, B) of the diaphragms (3, 4), but at a selectable small angle. This permits adjustment of the manufacturing tolerances of the diaphragms (3, 4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arthroscopic surgical instrument consists of an outer stationary member having a distal aperture, the wall of the outer member defining a first cutting edge at the aperture; an internal movable member disposed within the outer member, adapted to be power driven and having a second cutting edge arranged to move toward and closely past the first cutting edge in rapid, repetitive fashion to sever tissue. The instrument further includes a table extension provided at the aperture, projecting outwardly from the general contour of the body of the outer stationary member. The table extension is constructed and arranged to engage tissue against which the operator urges the instrument, in a manner to improve the repetitive cutting action. In one embodiment, the internal movable member disposed within the outer member has at least a pair of second cutting edges arranged to move sequentially toward and closely past fixed cutting edge to sever tissue at a shearing point, each second cutting edge defining one or more cutting points arranged longitudinally along the second cutting edge, and a cutting point of one second cutting edge being offset longitudinally from a cutting point of the next following second cutting edge, whereby the sequential second cutting edges have different cutting patterns.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for using the printer unit of a telefax device as a page printer for a PC. It is the object to make this printer unit usable for different PCs and to achieve high printing quality and printing speed. This is achieved by providing a control unit which detects a print requirement and switches the telefax device from facsimile operation to printing operation and vice versa, the information data being transmitted as hexadecimal characters. The data representing the information are supplied as hexadecimal values from the PC to the buffer memories PSp1 and PSp2 and to the page memory SSp. Control signals for actual character shapes, which correspond to the hexadecimal values and take over control of the printing printer section (thermal comb), are stored in the register R of the printer unit. As a result, the character is printed out not in pixel form but in high quality as an actual character in original form. The user can set a character interval after which the control unit STE automatically switches from printing mode to facsimile mode. When copies are made, this switching is automatically extended to begin with the end of the last copy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The flexible universal joint according to the invention consists essentially of two yokes offset by 90 DEG  relative to one another, each of which is attached to one shaft end. Arranged between the ends of the forks is a spider formed by two pairs of pins which can rotate about their axes in the respective yoke ends and are supported in a torque-transmitting manner relative to the axis of rotation of the shafts. The two pairs of pins can be pivoted at least slightly relative to one another in the plane formed by the spider, being coupled to one another via a flexible, in particular rubber-elastic, coupling element. As a result, the flexible coupling element is stressed only in the plane of the spider, i.e. only by a torque and this irrespective of the relative position, i.e. deflection, of the two shafts with respect to one another. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When image data is compressed in units of blocks, if a compressed data amount D obtained by reversibly compressing a block, and a predetermined value L satisfy D ≦ L, the block is reversibly compressed; if they satisfy D > L, the block is irreversibly compressed, so that computer-created image data is compressed while preventing deterioration of image quality, and a gradation image or a natural image is efficiently compressed. When a pixel of interest has the same value as color data (C₁) of the immediately preceding pixel, the shortest code '1' is output; when the pixel of interest has the same value as color data (C₂) of a pixel, which has color data different from C₁, and appears latest, the second shortest code '01' is output; when the pixel of interest has the same value as color data (C₃) of a pixel, which has color data different from C₁ and C₂, and appears latest, the third shortest code '001' is output; when the pixel of interest has color data different from C₁, C₂, and C₃, an unused code '000' is output, and the color data at that time is output. Thus, a computer-created image is compressed at a high compression ratio without causing deterioration of image quality.

Abstract: The microcomputer shall be offered which has realized more simplified peripheral circuits and more reduced price, besides being provided with the functions of timer, runaway monitor and backup logic. To that effect, the address register and the register are installed which have two areas each in correspondence with two tasks (CPU0 and CPU1) to perform a pipeline processing of the two tasks in parallel and in time division by changing over alternately the two areas of the address register and the register by means of task switching signal. Then, while composing one task (L-task) with a fix-looped program for which a branch instruction is prohibited, the L-task is embedded with a routine to execute a runaway monitor and a timer operation for the other task (A-task). Furthermore, in case where anything abnormal is detected by L-task about the processing of A-task and it is reset, the L-task will execute a backup sequence to obtain a failsafe of the system.
