Title: Pump Having flexible liner and merchandiser having such a pump
Inventor: DANBY HAL C
IPC: B65B61/06
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: A pump (11) has a flexible liner (13) which is expanded and contracted by application of positive and negative fluid pressure for receiving and discharging fluent material. The liner is received in a rigid shell (33) which defines the maximum volume received. In discharging fluent material, a vacuum is applied to one side of the liner (13), while applying pressure to the other side so the liner is collapsed against the rigid shell (33). The liner (13) is arranged so as to be the only part of the pump which contacts the fluent material, and is replaceable to effect rapid and easy cleaning of the pump. The liner has multiple pump cells (17) which can expand and contract for moving fluent material through the pump cell. The pump cells (17) can be sized and arranged so that by selection of particular pump cells which receive the fluent material, precise volumes can be metered by the pump. A merchandiser (430,480) has a pump (440,481) and a flexible bag (446,482) which is deformed to selectively dispense fluent material.

Title: Digital FSK transmitter containing a quadrature modulator
Inventor: MATSUI NAOHIRO
IPC: H04L27/12
Filed: 2005-01-21
Abstract: A binary Frequency Shift Keying modulator circuit includes a signal mapping circuit 1, D/A converters (DAC) 2, 3, and a quadrature modulator circuit 4. The signal mapping circuit generates I data and Q data in response to an input bit stream. Preferably the signal mapping circuit rotates a phasor anti-clockwise at a constant rate while a logic '0' is input, and clockwise at a constant rate while a '1' is input. The I data represents an I channel projection (i.e. cosine component) of the phasor, and the Q data represents a Q channel projection (i.e. sine component). The quadrature modulator circuit develops a resultant FSK-modulated signal through quadrature modulation of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal on a carrier signal. In one embodiment Gaussian filters 5, 6 are interposed between the DACs and the qudrature modulator.

Title: Encoding apparatus and method,recording apparatus and method, and decoding apparatus and method
Inventor: ITO MASAHIRO
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: There is disclosed a technique for displaying, without any troubles, image signals at a splice between scenes, precluding images from being frozen even in a case of discontinuation of time information, such as a case of scene transition. According to this technique, an image encoding part (1041) performs intra-frame encoding and inter-frame prediction encoding of image signals to produce image encoded data. A time information (PCR) generating part (10461) generates time information to be multiplexed in a transport stream. Identification information (scene transition information) generating part (10462) generates identification information indicative of discontinuation of time information when the continuation of the time information to be multiplexed in the transport stream is lost. A multiplexing part (1047) multiplexes the image encoded data, time information and identification information to output them as the transport stream.

IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2004-09-21
Abstract: An electrophoretic member is structured such that a plate member (10a) as a base plate is provided with a separating channel (12) in a shape of a groove, and another plate member (10b) is provided with through-holes (14a, 14b) as small reservoirs at positions corresponding to both ends of the channel. Both plate members are bonded together, so that the channel is disposed inside thereof and both ends of the channel communicate with the reservoirs to constitute an integrated base plate. Larger reservoirs (16a, 16b) having a size greater than that of the small reservoirs are connected at the positions of the small reservoirs on the plate member. Thus a sample injection quantity can be minimized.

Title: Generating random numbers in limited capacity devices
Inventor: IINICKI SLAWOMIR K
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2006-04-26
Abstract: Sequences of numbers with arbitrary numerical distributions are transmitted to devices (20, 30) having limited processing and storage capabilities. A master controller 11 creates a table of values which follow the desired minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation, etc. of the particular desired statistical distribution function. The created table is then communicated via network 101 to the limited capacity device (20, 30). The network may be a wireless and the wireless channel can be outside the normal communication band of the device. The table can be used in the device whenever a distribution of random values is required. The memory can include a FIFO and the pointers in the FIFO can be changed to reuse a previously used sequence. Where the storage capability of the device is large enough to store a table of values of sufficient randomness a random number generator within the device is used to select the order to use the values in the table. The order is generated using a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) can be used to generate an address to act as an index to the stored values. The devices may be mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, pagers or in-line test probes.

Title: Automotive childproof safety lock control
Inventor: WATANABE MITSUHIRO
IPC: E05B65/20
Filed: 2006-05-11
Abstract: An automotive childproof safety lock control comprises a first childproof safety lock unit 92 which receives an input from an internal handle 8 at first input lever 922 and has a first control lever 925 manually movable either to an unlocked position 925A in which handle movement is transmitted to first output lever 924 or a locked position 925B in which there is no transmission. A second childproof safety lock unit 93 has a second input lever 931 connected to the output lever 924 and a second control lever 933 movable via cables 15 and 16 by a power actuator 14 either to an unlocked position 933a in which movement of lever 931 is transmitted to a door latch arrangement 10,11 via second output lever 932 or a locked position 933b in which there is no transmission. Putting either childproof safety lock unit into a locked state will therefore prevent force from handle 8 from being transmitted to the latch arrangement. A lock unit 94 can be provided to either transmit or prevent transmission of force from lever 932 to the latch arrangement and a control unit can sense both handle movement and vehicle running state to operate the actuator 14. The lock unit can be moved to release by the actuator at the same time as the handle unlatching movement is detected.

Title: Accumulator pack having lock release mechanism
Inventor: ROEHM HEIKO
IPC: H01M50/247
Filed: 2007-04-03
Abstract: An accumulator pack 16, for an electrical appliance (e.g. a cordless screwdriver), with a basic body 18, a locking unit 26 for locking the basic body 18 to an electrical appliance body 14, an operating element 30 for unlocking the basic body 18, which is provided for operation by an operator in an operating direction 32, and a removal direction 24 in which the basic body 18 can be removed from the electrical appliance after unlocking. At least one component of the unlocking operating direction is aligned against the removal direction 24. The operating element 30 may be a push button arranged as swivellable on the battery body 18 to release the latch 28 from engagement with the appliance. The push button is ideally pressed in a direction opposite to the removal direction 24 of the accumulator which reduces the likelihood of accidental removal of the accumulator since the direction in which button 30 is pushed is the same direction in which accumulator is inserted into the electrical appliance.
