Abstract: The invention relates to an optical disc drive that comprises rotating means, defining a rotating axis for an optical disc, and an optical scanning device, for scanning said optical disc with a light beam. These optical scanning means themselves comprise a first light source, for producing said first light beam, focusing means, provided between the first light source and a focusing point on an information layer on the disc, an optical detector, for receiving a first backward beam reflected from said information layer, and a second light source, for producing a second light beam also transmitted to said focusing means and for measuring tilt from the position, on said optical detector, of a second spot corresponding to a second backward beam obtained after reflection of the second light beam on the information layer. According to the invention, a diffractive structure, provided with diffracting elements for substantially refocusing the returning second beam onto the detector, is provided between said focusing point and said optical detector. This diffractive structure, consisting of a series of ring-shaped prisms, is attached either to one surface of a servo-lens positioned just before said optical detector, or to one surface of an objective lens used as focusing means, or to a separate plate. The diffractive structure may also be approximated by a step-wise structure.

Abstract: A tubular knitted fabric (11) having a first knitted fabric and a second
knitted fabric joined together continuously at both ends thereof and a
laminating part (4) formed in the first knitted fabric at which the knitted
fabric is partly laminated in two or more layers is knitted by the method
comprising the step of forming the tubular knitted fabric via a full-gauge
loop arrangement, the knitting width widening step (s3) of shifting loops of
wale where the laminating part (4) is formed and loops of wale positioned
closer to a side end of the knitted fabric than the wale where the laminating
part (4) is formed, to provide a half-gauge loop arrangement wherein empty
needles for stitch transfer are arranged between needles used for forming
the loops of the wale where the laminating part (4) is formed, and the step
(s4) of knitting the first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric, while
the loops of wale where the laminating part (4) is formed are formed to be
fine in size so that when the knitting is ended, the loops of wale where the
laminating part (4) is formed can be substantially equal in size to the loops
in other region than the loops of wale where the laminating part (4) is
formed. This can prevent texture differences between the respective
knitted fabric parts including the laminating part (4) at which the knitting
fabric is partly laminated in multilayer.

Abstract: A balance ratio for a stationary seal ring (4) is designed to
allow a seal face to be opened when, with a rotary seal ring (3)
at standstill, steam of a predetermined pressure is supplied to

Abstract: An outer air seal assembly (10) for use around rotating fluid guide components (14), such as
rotating blades within a turbine engine, is disclosed. The seal includes features that reduce
radially-directed leakage while increasing operational life of the seal and providing additional
turbine section cooling without reducing engine performance. The seal employs boundary
members (12) that cooperatively prevent leakage within the turbine section of an associated gas
turbine engine. The boundary members (12) are spaced apart by interface gaps (22) having radially-skewed
portions (24) that protect blocking panels (58) disposed within the gap and extends the life of
seal. The interface gap (22) may also include a radially-aligned portion (34), and partition members (36) may
extend into the gap to form a flow-slowing serpentine-shaped pathway (38) within the gap. Conduits (40)
disposed within the boundary members allow cooling fluid (42) to enter the interface gap (22), providing
supplemental cooling benefits without reducing engine operating efficiency. Multiple sets of
boundary members (12) may be used in an axially-extending orientation, with interface gaps (22) being
disposed between boundary members of each set.

Abstract: Mobile user equipment for use in a cellular communications environment performs an
improved cell selection on transitions out of a connected mode state. The transitions
might be from one connected mode state to another or from a connected mode state to idle
mode. The improvement in cell selection lies in assembling the list of candidate cells
prior to cell selection. In the prior art, the list of candidate cells would usually be
restricted to the serving cell or active cells supporting communication between the
equipment and the network prior to transition. In embodiments of the invention, the list
might comprise cells which are not the serving cell or which are outside the active set, for
example a network-preferred cell or cells neighbouring the serving cell or cells of the active
set.
