Patent EP-1175862-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BERFIELD ROBERT C
IPC: A47L7/00
Filed: 2000-12-07
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner (10) capable of collecting wet or dry media includes a hose (22)
having an inlet end (26) and an outlet end (24) that is coupled to the vacuum cleaner. A
motor (18) is supported by a portion of the vacuum cleaner and applies a vacuum to the
outlet end of the vacuum hose. A media inlet is positioned near the inlet end of the
vacuum hose. An air intake for admitting air into the vacuum hose is provided near
the media inlet. The air intake can be adapted to receive a detachable separate
device in order to provide an air intake that is remotely positioned from the media
inlet. Alternatively, the air intake can be provided on an attachment to or an
integral part of the vacuum hose for providing the air intake at a remote distance
from the media inlet. A distal end of the vacuum hose is immersed in a liquid to be
collected so that the media inlet is immersed in the liquid and so that the air intake is
exposed to a source of air. A vacuum is applied to the vacuum hose to collect the
liquid through the media inlet while air is simultaneously drawn via the air intake
into the vacuum hose and mixed with the collected liquid to increase the liquid lift
height capability of the vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: The Bookmark list display control program rearranges and
reads the sites in the Bookmark storage area in reverse
chronological order of access to sites, then displays the
Bookmark list (step 51). Next, it is determined whether the
target (desired) site or URL is present or not (step 52). In
case the target site or URL is present, the user is automatically
connected to the target site or URL by selecting the target
site or URL (step 53). In case the target site or URL is absent
in step 52, the user selects the Bookmark input mode and enters
a new site or URL (step 54). Then, the user stores the new
site or URL in the Bookmark storage area, or in case the memory
of the area is insufficient, the user overwrites an old Bookmark
site with this new site (step 55).

Abstract: The image quality of a display device using a bottom gate TFT is improved. In particular, fluctuation in luminance is controlled and the frequency characteristic of a driver circuit is compensated by suppressing a change in amount of current flowing through an EL element which is caused by a change in surrounding temperature while the device is in use. A monitoring EL element is provided in addition to a pixel portion EL element. The monitoring EL element constitutes a temperature compensation circuit together with a buffer amplifier and the like. A current is supplied to the pixel portion EL element through the temperature compensation circuit. This makes it possible to keep the amount of current flowing through the pixel portion EL element constant against a change in temperature, and to control the fluctuation in luminance. An input signal is subjected to time base expansion to perform sampling with accuracy.

Abstract: A non-metallic structural enclosure for a generator rotor replaces conventional
containment components including rotor wedges, rotor teeth and
retaining rings. The enclosure includes a non-metallic tube (10) formed of a
plurality of spaced rings (14) or of a continuous tube including ventilation
holes or slots (16). The simplified rotor assembly serves to restrain the
winding against centrifugal forces with a more highly optimized use of space
and materials. The arrangement allows more space for copper and
ventilation, thereby benefiting both efficiency and the performance of the
machine. The use of individual rings has the additional benefit of providing
restraint against centrifugal forces without reducing the effectiveness of cross
slots in the rotor body from correcting peripheral dissymmetries in rotor
stiffness. The rings also provide openings for ventilation without introducing
stress concentrations in the enclosure.
