Patent EP-1183569-B1 (EP)
Inventor: FAIRHURST ALISON MARY
IPC: G03B21/62

Granted: 2005-03-30
Abstract: A semi-reflecting plate for use with a liquid crystal display, for example, comprises a first body (110) of light-transmitting material having a flat upper surface and a stepped lower surface carrying a semi-reflective coating (116) and a second body (120) of light-transmitting material, underneath the semi-reflective coating, the second body (120) of light-transmitting material being in intimate contact with the coated stepped surface of the first body (110) and thus being correspondingly stepped, the second body (120) having a flat lower surface parallel with the flat upper surface of the first body. In a preferred arrangement, the refractive index of the second body is equal to, or close to that of the first body, so that light passing straight through the plate suffers little or no refractive deviation, whilst light reflected from the semi-reflective coating undergoes a predetermined angular deviation. In variants, the bodies (110, 120) may have different refractive indices and/or the semi-reflective coating may be omitted.

Abstract: The system uses a broadcast to update the remote signal decoders, to minimise inconvenience to users. The method for updating data held within a video signal decoder for a television receiver includes transmission of the necessary updating data by a communication centre to terminals through a broadcasting network. This may be a satellite broadcast, a radio signal broadcast or by means of a coaxial or optical fibre cable offering one-way communications. The terminals inform the centre concerning their updating through a two-way network. The broadcast centre renews its updating campaign, or stops the present campaign on the basis of the number of updated terminals. Once the campaign has been stopped, the terminals can be updated using the two-way link.

Abstract: A generator unit is installed locally to supply power to an electricity consumer. A management centre monitors operation status of the generator unit and monitors the amount of electricity supplied to the electricity consumer by the generator unit. A service company performs maintenance and management for the generator unit based on instructions from the management centre or the operation status of the generator unit. An electricity provider operating the generator unit bills the electricity consumer for an electricity supply service fee based on information sent to the management centre. The resulting electricity generation equipment management system maintains and manages a generator unit without placing a burden on an electricity consumer, allowing efficient billing and payment of electricity supply service fees. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A positioner, such as a test head carrier for a semiconductor wafer and device tester, includes a vertical support and a main arm for supporting a test head. The main arm is suspended for vernier movement by use of a counterbalancing force such as counterweights. The suspension of the main arm is performed at a mechanical advantage so that reduced counterblancing force and correspondingly large movements on the counterblance side are used to effect the vernier movement. The vertical support may be adjusted with a non-compliant drive such as a ball screw mechanism. The vernier movement can also be used to sense collisions and other positioning errors and actuation of the drive for the vertical support can be controlled accordingly.

Abstract: A drive for use in the manufacture of cans comprises a hydraulically powered guide pod to which a can bodymaker is attached. The guide pod slides along a guide rod which is fixed in the bodymaker. Forward and rear hydraulic chambers are defined between the pod and the guide rod by means of bushings and a seal. Passage of fluid through ports to and from the chambers causes the pod and bodymaker to move forwards and backwards. The length of the stroke can be set by the distance between the ports. A rotary valve is used to control the timing of the drive and control flow of hydraulic fluid, which is typically obtained from the bodymaker coolant supply.

Abstract: A two-phase heat transfer system includes an evaporator, a condenser, a vapor line, and a liquid return line. The evaporator includes a liquid inlet, a vapor outlet, and a capillary wick having a first surface adjacent the liquid inlet and a second surface adjacent the vapor outlet. The condenser includes a vapor inlet and a liquid outlet. The vapor line provides fluid communication between the vapor outlet and the vapor inlet. The liquid return line provides fluid communication between the liquid outlet and the liquid inlet. The wick is substantially free of back-conduction of energy from the second surface to the first surface due to an increase in a conduction path from the second surface to the first surface and due to suppression of nucleation of a working fluid from the second surface to the first surface to promote liquid superheat tolerance in the wick.
