IPC: H05K5/00
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: In a shield case for housing an electronic equipment therein, a
plurality of metal plates include a top plate, a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear
plate, a pair of side plates, which are assembled to one another in a box-like
shape. A projection is formed on an outer face of the rear plate. A stopper
projection is formed on an outer face of each side plate. A rear face holding
piece extends downwardly from a rear edge of the top plate. The rear face
holding piece is formed with a holding member at a lower end portion thereof.
The holding member elastically abuts on the outer face of the rear plate, after
climbing over the projection. Side face holding pieces extend downwardly
from side edges of the top plate. Each side face holding piece is formed with
a notched portion at a lower end portion thereof. The notched portion
includes a guide groove for receiving the stopper projection in accordance with
the rearward movement of the top plate when the holding member climbs over
the projection, and an engagement groove extending forward from an upper
end of the guide groove, for engaging with the stopper projection in
accordance with the forward movement of the top plate when the holding
member abuts on the outer face of the rear plate after climbing over the
projection.

Abstract: In a spindle motor in which its weight is decreased while maintaining the
rigidity of a bearing to a large value, the widthwise dimension of a bearing
cartridge assembly 11 is set so that the upper outer ring end portion 12b of the
outer ring 12 of the bearing cartridge assembly 11 protrudes from a hub main
body 6A. Since the lengthwise dimension of a hub 5A is smaller than that of a
prior art, the weight and cost can be decreased that much. Further, the
lengthwise dimension of the hub 5A is smaller than that of the prior art, a space
portion is increased and the space portion can be employed as a space for
arranging various kinds of members. Since the upper outer ring end portion 12b
protrudes from the hub main body 6A, fitting pressure is not exerted on the upper
outer ring end portion 12b of the outer ring 12 upon fitting, so that the generation
of unnecessary deformation or the like can be avoided.

Abstract: An articulated robot comprises a movable first transferring portion and a
second transferring portion movably supported in relation to the movable first
transferring portion by a joint portion. A workpiece is positioned at a position,
where a workpiece positional deviation detecting means is located, by a hand
portion formed at an end of the second transferring portion. The workpiece
positional deviation detecting means detects the amount of deviation in the
position of the workpiece. A positioning portion of the workpiece and a sensor
portion for detecting deviations of the workpiece are formed either at the first
transferring portion of the second transferring portion which form the articulated
robot. A detecting operation by the sensor portion and transferring of the first and
second transferring portions are enabled when the workpiece is positioned at the
positioning portion of the articulated robot.

Abstract: A method of estimating local defocus distance from a
conventionally scanned image is provided. More particularly, the method of
estimating defocus distance in a scanned image of a non-planar original object,
such as an open book, includes scanning at least a portion of the book in order to
produce scanned image data. An image feature obtainable from the scanned
image data and a quantitative metric corresponding to the image feature are
selected. Image feature data is extracted from the scanned image data and
compared to a predetermined calibration relationship between the selected image
feature and defocus distance in order to calculate a plurality of defocus distances,
which are organized into a defocus distance map. The defocus distance map may
be used in the subsequent correction of geometric distortions, blurring defects,
and illumination variations adjacent the binding of an open book.

Abstract: Methods of extracting and removing hyperpolarized gas from a container include introducing an extraction fluid into the container to force the hyperpolarized gas out of an exit port. The hyperpolarized gas is forced out of the container separate and apart from the extraction fluid. Alternatively, if the fluid is a gas, a portion of the gas is mixed with the hyperpolarized gas to form a sterile mixed fluid product suitable for introduction to a patient. An additional method includes engaging a gas transfer source such as a syringe to a transport container and pulling a quantity of the hyperpolarized gas out of the container in a controlled manner. Alternatively, one or more gas syringes can be employed to mete out predictable quantities of hyperpolarized gas or gas mixtures including quantities of buffer gases. Another method includes introducing a quantity of liquid into a container and covering at least one predetermined internal surface or component with the liquid to mask the surfaces and keep the hyperpolarized gas away from the predetermined internal surface, thereby inhibiting any depolarizing affect from same. Examples of surfaces or components suitable for masking include valves, seals, and the like. Yet another extraction method includes expanding a resilient member inside the container to force the hyperpolarized gas to exit therefrom. Containers include a resilient member positioned in fluid communication with the hyperpolarized gas in the container. An additional container includes inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the chamber and positioned on opposing sides or end portions of the container. Another container includes a port configured to receive a portion of a syringe therein. An additional aspect of the disclosure relates to calibration methods and apparatus for identifying the hyperpolarization status of the gas.

Abstract: Le sachet à deux chambres de l'invention (30) résoud le problème de distribution non uniforme lorsque les cloisons latérales du sachet sont enfoncées. Cette distribution uniforme est possible grâce à la présence d'une cloison intermédiaire de séparation relativement fine (48), d'angles arrondis (42) au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de chaque chambre (32, 35) du sachet, de bords latéraux coniques (44, 46) au niveau du canal de sortie (36) de chaque chambre du sachet, et d'une ouverture de distribution relativement large. Cette structure empêche l'écoulement de substances dans les chambres lors de la distribution. Les substances sont dirigées vers le haut par les angles inférieurs arrondis du sachet, les cloisons supérieures coniques et la large ouverture de distribution. Cette ouverture de distribution relativement large réduit au minimum la contre-pression causée par les substances s'écoulant vers une sortie de distribution d'une largeur inférieure à celle des chambres de produit.

Abstract: A user interface for querying and displaying records from a database employs a physical metaphor for the process of constructing queries and viewing results. User profiles are presented and manipulated to operate with queries in the same way as other criteria. For example, in one embodiment, the search criteria are shown as the beads on respective strings, the strings representing categories of criteria. One of the strings is a set of user profiles that can be added to a query in the same manner as the addition of criteria. Criteria are selected to form a query by moving corresponding beads to a query string. User preference profiles can be constructed in the same manner. Profiles are saved and represented as bead strings that can be used in further interactions in the same manner as criteria beads, Profiles can also be the result of automatic machine-analysis of user interaction.

Une couche photosensible collante est appliquée sur une surface de substrat. La couche photosensible est mise en image avec un motif par radiation actinique et les zones découvertes de la couche photosensible deviennent dures et non collantes. Une application ultérieure d"une feuille constituée d"une composition pour couche épaisse entraînera l"adhérence de la couche épaisse aux zones collantes restantes. En pelant la feuille, on obtiendra un motif d"impression à couche épaisse. Cette étape est suivie d"un profil de traitement prescrit par la composition pour couche épaisse utilisée et qui permet d"obtenir un motif ayant des propriétés électriquement fonctionnelles. L"invention concerne également un procédé dans lequel une composition pour couche épaisse est revêtue d"une feuille utilisée.
