Patent EP-0743382-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JENSEN BENT
IPC: D02H1/00
Filed: 1996-05-16
Abstract: A plant (1) for supplying yarn to a loom (2) comprises a yarn rack (3). The loom (2) is
supplied with yarn from yarn spools (5) in a number of carriers (4) arranged in a rail
arrangement (9). 
     The yarn rack (3) comprises a feeding station (6) having first rail lengths (10) and a
storage station (7) having corresponding second rail lengths (11). Replacement of carriers
(4) is accomplished easily and fast by transfer of a row of carriers (4) via the rails
from the first rail length (10) to an empty second rail length (11). Then carriers (4) with
full yarn spools are transferred from a second rail length (11), which is also attached to
said first rail length (10). As the storage station comprises at least two second rail
lengths (11) corresponding to each rail length (10) in the feeding station, the risk of
misplacing carriers is avoided. As the carriers are transferred in a ceiling rail arrangement,
it is possible to obtain easy transfer of a whole row of carriers at the same time.
Furthermore, the risk is avoided that carriers might overturn even if there are full yarn
spools on only one side of the carrier (4).

Abstract: An image sensor head having a CCD is rotatably
attached to a card body having a computer interface. A
DC/DC converter for supplying the image sensor head with
electric power is provided so as to be situated outside
and external device, such as a computer, when the card
body is loaded in the external device. This facilitates
the radiation of heat. A shielding case is provided to
cover and shield the DC/DC converter. When the card
body experiences deformation, the shielding case
contacts a metal cover which covers a main board within
the card body, thereby preventing excessive bending and
assuring electrical safety. Thus, in a card-type image
sensor of the type which introduces an image to a
computer or the like, the power supply for image sensing
purposes radiates heat more effectively and is provided
with improved shielding.

Title: Herstellverfahren für eine Siliziumoxid-Schicht auf einer Topographie
IPC: B32B9/00
Filed: 1996-12-02
Abstract: Als IMD-fungierende SiO 2 -Schichten werden bisher über 
CVD-Verfahren bzw. durch Sputtern aufgebracht, was mit großem 
Aufwand verbunden ist und darauffolgende Prozeßschritte zur 
Planarisierung erfordert. Alternativ wurden in jüngerer Zeit 
Spin-On-Gläser verwendet, die aber nur unzureichende langreichweitige 
Planarisierungen aufweisen. Das neue Verfahren 
soll SiO 2 -Schichten ergeben, die einen hervorragenden lokalen 
und globalen Planarisierungsgrad erreichen, eine gegenüber 
herkömmlich hergestellten SiO 2 -Schichten deutlich geringere 
Dielektrizitätskonstante aufweisen, um parasitäre Kapazitäten 
zu verringern und apparativ einfach herstellbar seien.  
     Auf die Topographie wird ein in einem organischen Lösungsmittel 
gelöstes Organodisiloxan aufgebracht, daß Organodisiloxan 
wird polymerisiert und das entstandene Polymerisat 
wird zersetzt, wobei das Polymerisat zu einer stark 
SiO 2 -haltigen Schicht wird.

Abstract: The present invention relates to free-ink type ink-jet
pens (20,200). A dual-chambered housing forms ink accumulators which
provide a local supply of ink for a printhead mechanism. The
accumulators are fluidically coupled to an off-board ink
reservoir (30) by a valve mechanism. A pressure regulator mechanism (202)
is incorporated into a chamber for maintaining a predetermined
gage set point back-pressure within the pen and for regulating
the flow of ink from the reservoir (30) by controlling the valve
mechanism. A near linear force by biasing the regulator
mechanism so as to balance it against a force exerted thereon by
the ambient atmosphere via a vent (110,413) when the valve mechanism is
opened due to a force exerted by a differential between ambient
atmospheric pressure and the bias force. The mechanism is
insensitive to the rate of flow of ink through the valve.
