Patent EP-1042981-A3 (EP)
Inventor: PETERSSON STEFAN
IPC: A47L9/12
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner assembly including a vacuum cleaner housing (10) and an air
filtration unit removably installed in the housing. The unit includes a coarse separator
(25), a cyclone with a cyclone chamber (26), a collecting container (27), and a releasable
cover plate (37). The coarse separator (25) receives dirt-laden air. Air is tangentially
introduced into the cyclone chamber (26), which is downstream the coarse separator (25).
The collecting chamber (27) receives particles separated from the air stream in the cyclone
chamber (26). The cover plate (37) serves as a wall part for each of the coarse separator,
cyclone, and collecting container whereby, after the unit (14) has been removed from the
housing (10), the cover plate is removed to simultaneously reveal the coarse separator,
cyclone, and collecting container to permit emptying thereof.

Abstract: An electronic device (400) includes a dual interface
serial bus that can support either the I2C or SPI serial
interfaces. The device (400) defaults using the I2C serial
interface for the transmission and reception of data. However,
when the CE line (406) transitions from a logic high to a logic
low state, the device (400) automatically reprograms the I/O to
support the SPI interface standard. Both interfaces are
supported without the use of an additional interface selection
pin (308).

Abstract: An automatic quartz-tube leveling device and method for automatically measuring the leveling
state of an optical-fiber preform (e.g. a tube) on an on-line basis using a modified-chemical-vapor
deposition (MCVD) technique is disclosed. A quartz tube (preform) is disposed in a horizontal
supporting element such as a lathe. A measuring device (34) is provided with a light-emitting
device and a light-receiving device, interposing the quartz tube (T), for measuring an upper
eccentric value and a lower eccentric value along a length of the quartz tube. A controller (36)
receives the measured upper and lower eccentric values from the measuring device,
compares the measured values with predetermined reference values, and specifies a
necessary leveling span of the quartz tube. A transfer device (38) then moves to a necessary
leveling span of the quartz tube to carry out leveling of the quartz tube, under control of the
controller. The automatic leveling device and method enables the MCVD tube to be kept horizontal
and so enables an optical fiber preform of high reliability to be produced.

Near this border, the capturing directions of the first and the second cameras both substantially match the direction of the border. Consequently, images of objects near the border extend along the border, and thus do not disappear on the synthesized image.
