Patent EP-1235002-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NANBU TOSHIKAZU
IPC: F16H15/38
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: A traction drive rotary assembly including a plurality of rolling elements (3,5,6) having traction contact surfaces (3a,5a,6a) associating with each other to transmit power between the rolling elements. At least one of the traction contact surfaces has a surface microstructure including grooves and protrusions alternately arranged. The surface microstructure is represented by an unfiltered primary profile curve including recesses and projections corresponding to the grooves and the protrusions. Each projection includes a portion located higher than a center line (c) of the unfiltered primary profile curve and having a shape selected from a generally trapezoidal shape with rounded corners, a generally crowning shape, a generally elliptic arc shape, a generally sinusoidal shape and a generally triangular shape with a rounded apex. A ratio λ/AMP of a wavelength λ of the unfiltered primary profile curve to a half depth AMP of the recess is in a range of 50-400.

Abstract: When the load acting on a fluid motor (25) increases,
a changeover valve (61) starts to be changed over toward a low-speed
position L, but at this time an additional pilot fluid whose
pressure is determined by the amount of fluid flowing into or
out of a second passage (68) through first and second notches
functions as a pressure regulator for a spool (65), and lowers
the pressure within the second passage (68) without lowering
the pressure within a high pressure-side main circuit (28), thereby
tilting a swash plate (26) from a position of high-speed rotation
to a position of low-speed rotation.

Abstract: A method for writing and reading data in a hard disk drive and compensating for an offset between a write element (22) and a read element (24) of a head. The method determines an offset time (t 1 ) by determining the difference between a desired sync byte position and an actual sync byte position (SB) located between a preamble (106) and a data sector (110) of the disk. The difference corresponds to the offset between the read and write elements. The offset time is subtracted from the normal time for enabling the read gate of a disk drive pre-amplifier.

Abstract: In an image output system, image data generated by a digital still
camera is output with a color printer. The digital still camera stores
image processing control data preset by a maker of the digital still camera
to be changeable for each image, and a user's setting of offset data. The
image output system then generates an image file including the image
data, the image processing control data, and the offset data. The color
printer makes the image data to be subjected to a preset series of image
processing based on the image processing control data (including the offset
data) in the image file, and outputs a resulting processed image.

Abstract: A loudspeaker voice coil having a coil fixing mechanism comprises a cylindrical voice
coil bobbin and a coil. The coil fixing mechanism comprises a groove which is formed alone of
a sleeve wrapping around and fixed to the outer wall of the voice coil bobbin, or formed of the
sleeve together with the voice coil bobbin, and the coil being wound and fixed therein. This
groove can be formed of the collars formed respectively at the two ends of the sleeve, or
alternatively of the collar formed at one end of the sleeve and the collar at the end of the voice
coil bobbin attached to the other end of the sleeve. The two ends of the coil are stopped by the
collars of the mechanism, which avoids the slackening, and dispersing apart or coming off from
the bobbin of the coil despite of high power and high temperature.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed to achieve remote processing
of items in a client (106) with limited processing capacity. Specifically, a client
(106) receives an element that it is unable to render or otherwise process to
present to the user due to its limited processing capacity. The client (106)
transmits the element to a server (109) that includes various processing modules
that allow the server (109) to process the element or otherwise perform the task
that was beyond the client capability. The server (109) thus processes the
element, thereby converting it into a form that is recognizable by the client (106).
The processed element (329) is then sent back to the client (106) where it is
depicted or otherwise executed in the client (106).

Abstract: A strut for supporting services between parallel spaced apart I-beam flooring joists is
described. The strut has a main section adapted to fit transversely between the two joists
and has two end regions which extend beyond and above the main section for resting on
the joists, so that the main section is supported so as to extend between the two beams
below or in line with the upper faces of the joists. This enables services such as cables,
ducting or pipes to be supported below the floorboarding carried by the joists. A number
of such struts are located at intervals along the length of the joists in the form of the rungs
of a ladder to enable lengths of cables, ducting or pipes to be supported below the
floorboarding.

crank billet (29). The filler material (32) may be
removed through an opening (15) in the crank billet
(29). This may be accomplished by drilling the crank
billet (29) to form the pedal attachment hole (6) in a
location that communicates with the filler material

Abstract: The present invention relates to variable speed
constant frequency (VSCF) devices and methods for
maximizing engine generator efficiency. In one
embodiment, a VSCF device may include at least two paths
for conducting power to the load. One path, a line
inductor path, may advantageously incur minimal power
loss when the engine generator is supplying rated power
to a load. A second path, a VSCF path, may be used to
ensure that the frequency of the power is maintained at a
substantially constant frequency under various load
conditions. Another embodiment of the invention
describes a process for determining optimal engine
generator speed for a particular load. Because engine
speed can be varied using any VSCF device, this process
determines a speed that minimizes fuel consumption,
emissions, and noise pollution for a given load.
