Patent EP-0516129-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE ISAO
IPC: F16F9/32
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A vibration damping device is comprised of first and second axially spaced end housings adapted to be mounted on spaced apart structures, and has a tapered intermediate member (20) mounted on the second housing (13) converging toward an open end of the first housing (2). A piston (30) is mounted on an end of a rod (31) which is connected to the first housing and extends through a bore (44) formed in the intermediate member and forms a restricted flow orifice extending between the spaced apart housings. A pair of elastomeric sleeves (50,57) extend between the intermediate portion and the piston and the first housing to form a pair of fluid chambers (55,60) connected by the orifice. An elongated electrode (25) preferably contacts an electrorheological fluid flowing between the chambers through the orifice. The tapered intermediate member is nestable within the interior of the first housing when the device is in a jounce condition and the tapered piston is nestable within the interior of the intermediate member when the device is in a rebound condition to provide a compact damping device without sacrificing stroke length, and which enables the length of the electrode to be independent of the stroke length.

Abstract: To package large scale semiconductor wafers (101) a packaging device (103) is provided which engages the wafers (101) e.g. by supporting members (105A,105B) and hence supports the wafers (101) in a spaced-apart stack. Preferably, the supporting members (105A,105B) include means for making electrical contact between the device (103) and the wafers (101). The device (103) may be in the form of a pillar extending through holes (102) in the wafers (101). Alternatively (Fig. 1D), the device (103) may be divided into sections which are interposed between adjacent wafers (101) or (Fig. 2A) may have a plurality of pillars (201) which engage the edges of the edges of the wafers (203). Thus large scale wafers can be stacked, and electrical contact made to semiconductor devices on the wafers in the stack.

Abstract: An optical shaft angle encoder has a circumferentially extending data track (14) having alternating windows (16), and opaque spaces (17) between the windows. Each window and space between windows has substantially the same width along the track. An array of photodetectors (1-9) is provided adjacent to the data track, each having substantially the same width as a space or window and an LED illuminates the photodetectors through the windows. The areas of successive windows along the track are in a predetermined sequence which does not repeat around the track. The photo current due to illuminating the photodetectors in the array provides a unique indication of the angular position of the code wheel at essentially all times, including immediately upon startup of the encoder. There are interleaved arrays of odd and even numbered photodetectors.

Abstract: Zur Verbesserung der Oelführung und des Problems des Nachtropfens von Oel aus einer Oelbrennerdüse bei abgeschalteter Brennerflamme, werden die im Inneren angeordneten Oelführungskörper aus Wärmedämmstoff hergestellt. Die Oelführung in der Düse (1) wird durch einen Oelfilter (3) mit einem oder mehreren Vollkörpern, welche feine Oelführungskanäle (11) aufweisen, gebildet. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dazu vorteilhafterweise ein poröser Kunststoff, insbesondere Sinterkunststoff sich eignet. Der Düsenkopf (2) der direkt in den Oelvorwärmer schraubbar ist, kann weiterhin aus gut wärmeleitendem Metall oder aus Keramik und die in das Oel getauchten Oelführungskörper dagegen aus Wärmedämmstoff, hergestellt werden. Die Oelbrennerdüse kann auf diese Weise nicht nur preisgünstiger hergestellt werden, sondern weist ein wesentlich verbessertes Tropfverhalten auf, besonders wenn die Oelführungskörper eine Widerstandsregulierung durch entsprechende Porosität, respektiv schwammartigen Strukturaufbau aufweisen. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low air loss patient support system (20) includes a plurality of identical multi-chambered inflatable sacks (34). A restrictive flow hole (64) connects two adjacent chambers (46, 54) disposed predominately to one side of the centerline of the sack, and each side is separately pressurizable under the control of a microprocessor (160) and a plurality of pressure control valves (162) with pressure transducers and a plurality of flow diverter valves (220) for switching between different modes of configuring the manner in which the sacks are pressurized. The system includes a modular manifold (128) for mounting the pressure control valves (162), and a modular support member for mounting the sacks via quick-disconnect couplings and having air flow channels defined therethrough. The support system can rotate or tilt the patient by depressurizing one side of the sacks (34) while increasing the pressurization of the opposite side of the sacks. An end chamber (46) of the depressurized side of each sack remains inflated while the adjacent intermediate chamber (54) becomes progressively deflated during depressurization to permit the end chambers to restrain the patient from sliding off the sacks during tilting. The support system can relieve pressure points between the patient and the sacks while elevating the head and chest of the patient by reconfiguring the diverter valves (162) to connect alternating sacks at the same pressure and periodically decreasing the pressure in one group of sacks while increasing the pressure in another group of sacks alternately to relieve the pressure of and on the patient between the two different groups of sacks depending upon which group is depressurizing and which group is being increased in pressure.
