Abstract: The system includes a digital decoding module (30) which provides on-screen display (OSD) and main-picture (I) data streams which are mixed (34) and multiplexed (40). An encoding module (36) contains D/A converters (28,38) and a block (39) which performs common functions for two data stream encoders (27,37).

Abstract: A piezoelectric transformer (21) comprises a
piezoelectric rectangular body (23) having equally
divided first to fourth regions (A1, A2, A3, and A4) in a
longitudinal direction. The first and the fourth regions
(A1, A4) are provided with plane electrodes (24, 25, 26,
and 27) as input electrodes and polarized opposite to
each other in a thickness direction. Strip-like
electrodes (30, 31) are formed at the boundary between
the two remaining regions (A2, A3) as output electrodes.
An AC input voltage having a frequency corresponding to a
wavelength equal to of the length of the piezoelectric
body is applied to the input electrodes to vibrate the
piezoelectric plate in a one-wavelength resonance mode.
A voltage produced due to the piezoelectric effect in
response to the vibration is extracted from the output
electrode. The transformer is small in size, low in
vibration rate and heat generation, and excellent in
efficiency. As a modification, the input electrodes may
be formed in two regions which are symmetric or opposite
to each other in displacement distribution in the one-wavelength
resonance without being restricted to the
first and the fourth regions while the output electrode
is provided in another region. As further modification,
the first and the second regions are formed as an input
portion as a separate body separate from the third and
the fourth regions as an output portion. These portions
are adhered to each other.

Title: Fabric with balanced modulus and unbalanced construction
Inventor: GWINN KENNETH W
IPC: B60R21/16
Filed: 1997-10-20
Abstract: This disclosure describes fabric and a method for making fabric, for use in a flexible pressure vessel or other fabric structures, which has an unbalanced woven construction and has a balanced or nearly balanced modulus of elasticity for the end-use conditions of this fabric. Unbalanced woven fabrics that do not have balanced properties produce unequal stretching and are susceptible to premature failure. The present invention of unbalanced woven fabric construction with balanced mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity can be used to optimize fabric strength, mass, volume, and performance characteristics and also reduce manufacturing costs for various fabric structure applications. Balanced mechanical properties for the fabric structure are achieved by altering the force of the fabric by increasing or decreasing the number of yarns in a particular direction of the fabric, by changing the strain during stretch of the fabric, or by alternative weaves of the fabric.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming one or more through-holes in a metal workpiece, such as shaving foils or shaving combs, by means of an electrochemical machining apparatus (ECM apparatus). To this end, the method is characterized in that, during machining, the workpiece is provided on a substrate of an electroconductive, electrochemically inert material, such as a noble metal (alloy), in particular a noble metal (alloy) which is predominantly composed of Pt. Preferably, the workpiece is clamped onto the substrate. By virtue of said measures, rounding of the edges between the holes formed and the surface of the workpiece, which is clamped down on the substrate during machining, is reduced substantially. This has a favourable effect on the formation of sharp cutting faces.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tight plastic part, especially a plastic casing, presenting an aperture for ventilation (11) to enable air exchange between the part inside and its environment (13), as well as a gas permeable membrane (14) covering the aperture for ventilation (11) to prevent water infiltration into the element (12), while the membrane is placed inside a pot-shaped cavity ahead of the mouth of the aperture for ventilation (11) and stretched at the bottom (151) of said cavity, where it is coupled on its edge with a sealing joint (17). In order to facilitate the assembly of the part concerned without having to use additional assembly elements, the sealing joint (17) and the membrane edge are overlapped by segment-shaped tongues at an axial distance from the bottom (151) of said cavity (15). Owing to the formation of an undercut (19), said tongues radially precede the cylindrical wall (152) of the cavity (15).

Abstract: A procedure for operating an IC engine to be free of toxic emissions has at least one operating mode with a lean air/fuel ratio and one operating mode with a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. Measures for reducing the NOx emissions are provided. The NOx reduction is effected during the operation in the stoichiometric mode in a previously given speed/torque range by timing adjustment from the point of optimum efficiency in the direction of retard. In the operating mode with a lean mixture, the timing is adjusted for optimum efficiency. The engine is run in a second speed/torque range with a lean mixture with a lower speed or torque than the first range and the two ranges are chosen so that the engine during normal operation is run more frequently in the second than in the first range.

deactivated by a signal from the mail notification server. The e-mail server
generates and sends a data signal containing a message received signal or a
message retrieved signal to the mail notification server. The mail notification server
in turn generates a notification signal which is sent using the subscriber's phone
number to the subscriber's telephone node thereby activating or deactivating the
notification device in response to a respective one of the message received or
message retrieved signals. The mail notification server may be included as part of
a telephone system voice messaging system. In this case the mail notification
server controls the voice messaging system which generates and sends the

Abstract: In an inventive method of driving a thermal head including
heating resistors corresponding to a line of dots, the heating
resistors are grouped into blocks consisting of the same number of
heating resistors. After producing main printing data for one line
of printing, such blocks where the ratio of the number of heating
resistors in which the printing data is inputted to the number of
all the heating resistors in each block is smaller than a preset
ratio, are detected as target blocks. Then, auxiliary printing data
for preheating such heating resistors in each target block to which
the main printing data is inputted, is produced. When the total
number of the heating resistors in all the blocks to which the main
printing data is inputted is larger than a preset number, the
auxiliary strobe signal is inputted to the heating resistors to
preheat the heating resistors in the target blocks. By this
preheating, the shortage of energy due to voltage drop of a power
source will be compensated.
