Inventor: VAN YPEREN HENDRIK
IPC: F15B15/28
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: Measuring method and device for determining the displacement
of a movable part of an actuator such as the axial
and/or rotational movement of the piston rod (7) in relation
to the cylinder housing (2) with a pressurized medium-operated
cylinder (1). Optical means (12) are applied, which can
be aimed at the outer surface of the movable part of an
actuator, such as the piston rod (7). The light reflected by
the movable part (7) is absorbed by an absorbing chip (13)
suitable for it, which electronically, by means of a converter
(16) produces a signal, from which the position or the
velocity of the movable part (7) can be determined. The
piston rod (7) can have undergone the usual polishing processing.
The optical means (12) comprise the means as they
are applied in a computer mouse.

Abstract: A first measuring system generates a first signal representing the voltage of at least one display column (C1, C2, Cn). A second measuring system generates a second signal representing the voltage at a reference point. The first and second signals are supplied to an adjustment circuit, which can increase the polarisation voltage (Vpol) until the first signal is greater than the second signal, or vice versa.  The device is used to control the polarisation voltage for command circuits for the columns of a matrix display composed of electroluminescent diodes, each diode being connected to a line and a column in the display. The command circuits include a current mirror (9) comprising a reference branch (bref) and a number of duplication branches (b1, b2, bn) connected to the polarisation voltage. Each duplication branch is connected to a column in the display. The reference branch is connected at a reference point to a reference current source (10) providing a desired brightness current. An Independent claim is also included for a method for controlling polarisation voltage for command circuits for electroluminescent panels.

Abstract: The present invention is a prosthetic for replacement of at least a part of the nucleus of a intravertebral disc. The prosthetic device is composed of at least two substantially parallel soft layers of an elastically deformable hydrogel and at least one more rigid layer, the more rigid layer having less compressibility than the soft layers, being adjacent to the soft layers, and firmly attached to them. In some embodiments, the soft layers have the same thickness and composition. Typically, the prosthesis has more than one more rigid layer and these more rigid layers have the same thickness and composition. The number of soft layers is usually one more than the number of more rigid layers, with, e.g., at least three soft layers. The invention also includes a method of prosthesis production, which involves prefabricating soft and more rigid layers; stacking at least two prefabricated soft and at least one prefabricated more rigid layer in a substantially parallel fashion into their final form, and, permitting the layers to firmly connect to one another by mutual interaction. In this method, at least one type of the layers is prefabricated in the dehydrated state, which is done by dehydrating stretched foil in an apparatus preventing its contraction and thereby decreasing its area. There is at least partial dehydration of the prosthesis under pressure applied in a direction tangent to the planes of the layers. In preferred embodiments, while in the state of almost full dehydration, the implant is sterilized using ionizing radiation or a gaseous chemical agent, after which it is partially rehydrated within a sterile wrapper using water vapor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a firing direction system for adjusting a rocket launcher, and includes a drive motor ( 9 ) that is connected via a safety brake ( 2 - 8 ) with a drive shaft ( 1 ) for adjusting the rocket launcher, whereby a rotation of the drive shaft ( 1 ) in a first direction effects a raising of the rocket launcher, and a rotation in the opposite direction effects a lowering of the rocket launcher, whereby the safety brake prevents a back-driving torque of the rocket launcher from effecting a rotation of the drive shaft ( 1 ) in the opposite direction. In addition, an electric motor ( 11 ) is disposed on the drive shaft ( 1 ) and is controlled is such a way that upon a rotation of the drive shaft in the first direction, the electric motor effects an additional torque of the drive shaft ( 1 ) in the first direction, and upon rotation of the drive shaft in the opposite direction effects a recovery of energy.

Abstract: An organic EL element (200) emits light containing a
blue component (B) and a component () with a peak in 500
to 600nm. A red converting member (360) has an excitation
spectrum with a peak in 500 to 600nm. The red converting
member receives light from the organic EL element (200) and
converts the blue component (B) to a red component (R). At
this time, the luminance of the red component (R) is
enhanced since the member (360) is strongly excited by the
component (0). As a result, the white balance of three
colors is improved. Therefore a color emission device
(100) can be provided where the intensity of red light is
enhanced.

age information for a memory card owner. In an information communication
apparatus according to the present invention, a list of undesirable data
transmission sources (electronic mail addresses) and a list of inappropriate data
(character strings) are stored in a memory (16) in advance. Electronic mail
received by a radio communication unit (11) is temporarily stored in the
electronic mail data storage area of the memory (16), and a control unit (12)
examines the received electronic mail to determine whether an undesirable data
transmission source is included. When an electronic mail is received from an
undesirable data transmission electronic mail address, the electronic mail is
deleted. Furthermore, age information recorded on a memory card (14) is
obtained, and for operators, such as underage people, for whom the reception
of inappropriate data is not desirable, an electronic mail that is received and that
includes inappropriate data is forcibly deleted. Other operators are permitted
to selectively perform, using a simple manipulation, a process for the display or
the deletion of inappropriate data that is received.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that provide a single layer bit stream syntax with advanced DCT data partitioning designed to combat bit error and packet losses during transmission. The bit stream syntax may be used as a single layer bit stream or may be used to de-multiplex video packets into base and enhancement layers in order to allow unequal error protection. One advantage of this syntax is that the de-multiplexing and merging of received video packets is made simple while allowing for flexible bit allocation for the base and enhancement layers.
