Patent EP-0991034-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAMURA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: G07F11/04
Filed: 1999-01-12
Abstract: In a vending machine including an article storage
space (3a) for stacking articles (A) therein in a vertical
direction, a movable spacer (10) is provided for adjusting
a size of the article storage space. The spacer is placed
in the article storage space movably in a horizontal
direction. An urging arrangement (20) urges the spacer
towards one end of the article storage space in the
horizontal direction. In cooperation with a given one of
the articles, a locking arrangement (30) locks the spacer
in the first horizontal direction at an optional position
determined in accordance with the articles.

Abstract: A generator of ultrasonic signals for a transducer which incorporates
at least a phase lock loop feedback system for purposes of maintaining
the output frequency between first and second voltage values also
incorporates supervisory control circuitry for monitoring whether or not
the generator and the transducer continue to operate in a resonant
condition. In the event that the generator and transducer fail to stay
in a resonant condition, the supervisory circuitry will super-impose a
control voltage on the phase lock loop feedback path for the purpose of
restoring the generator and the transducer to a resonant condition. To
reduce the time to return to resonance, a representation of the last
resonant frequency can be stored by the supervisory circuitry. When a
loss of resonance is detected, the prestored value can be retreived and
superimposed on the phase lock loop feedback circuit for purposes of
more quickly restoring the generator and the transducer to resonance.

Abstract: The system uses engine power laws for application to subsequent similar aircraft. The system (2,22) provides control of the engine of a first aircraft (1) which forms part of a family of aircraft, the first aircraft having the greatest maximum mass of the aircraft in question. For each engine of the first aircraft a power law is determined which is specific to this engine and aircraft during the takeoff phase (T). A second power law is determined for the subsequent phase of flight (R) after takeoff. A detection signal is produced when the aircraft moves from the takeoff phase to the subsequent flight phase and the appropriate power law is applied. The signals may be processing either by a computer processing technique, or by an electronic circuit processor.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un commutateur optique pouvant être utilisé notamment comme multiplexeur d'insertion-extraction par répartition en longueur d'onde dans un système de communication à longueurs d'ondes multiples. Quatre faisceaux à longueurs d'ondes multiples, couplés optiquement aux canaux d'entrée, de sortie, d'insertion et d'extraction, sont disposés en parallèle dans une batterie rectangulaire et sont incidents à un réseau de diffraction. Ce réseau, opérant dans une direction, divise les faisceaux en leurs composants de longueur d'onde et, opérant dans une autre direction, les recombine en un faisceau à longueurs d'ondes multiples. Une lentille fait converger les composants des faisceaux possédant une longueur d'onde particulière sur l'une des batteries de micro-miroirs inclinables intégrés à un substrat au silicium. Dans une position, le miroir, agissant pour une longueur d'onde particulière, renvoie ce composant de longueur d'onde du faisceau d'entrée vers le faisceau de sortie et, dans une seconde position, il renvoie ce composant du faisceau d'entrée vers le faisceau d'extraction comme il renvoie ce même composant du faisceau d'insertion vers le faisceau de sortie. Il est possible d'utiliser cette même optique avec un second ensemble de faisceaux commutés en synchronie avec le premier ensemble. Il est possible de fabriquer la batterie de miroirs de manière qu'elle soit susceptible de prendre plus de deux positions d'inclinaison afin de pouvoir coupler de façon sélective le faisceau d'entrée, soit au faisceau de sortie, soit à l'un des deux, au moins, faisceaux d'extraction, le faisceau de sortie étant, de manière correspondante, couplé de façon sélective, soit au faisceau d'entrée, soit à l'un des deux, au moins, faisceaux d'insertion.

Abstract: A fluid storage and dispensing system (10) comprising a vessel (12) for holding a fluid (17) at a desired pressure. The vessel has a pressure regulator (26) set at a predetermined pressure. The regulator may be interiorly or exteriorly positioned, single-staged or multi-staged, and is associated with a port of the vessel. A dispensing assembly, e.g. including a flow control means such as a valve (20), is arranged in gas/vapor flow communication with the regulator (26), whereby the opening of the valve effects dispensing of gas/vapor from the vessel (12). The fluid in the vessel may be constituted by a liquid that is confined in the vessel at a pressure in excess of its liquefaction pressure at prevailing temperature conditions, e.g. ambient (room) temperature.

Inventor: NIELSEN J RGEN TAGE
IPC: A23L3/18

Abstract: According to the invention, the object of the method and the appartus associated herewith is to avoid the disadvantages which arise in a plate pasteurizing apparatus for the pasteurizing of a liquid product in a continuous flow during and after a stop in production. When pasteurizing with known plate pasteurizing apparatus, the product is led through a holding pipe, which has the disadvantage that the temperature in this holding pipe cannot be controlled during a possible stop in production. Therefore, in existing apparatus it is necessary to have a large buffer tank which can contain 1/2 - 1 hour's production, which is very space-demanding. Production in excess of this interval is wasted. According to the invention, this problem is solved by providing each individual zone (6) in the pasteurizing area with a connection (16) for heating (19) and/or cooling (20) of the product, so that in the event of a stop in production it is possible to hold the temperature below the pasteurizing temperature, and upon re-starting to heat the product again to a temperature close to the pasteurizing temperature.

Inventor: SAUR JOERG
IPC: B60K31/04
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle control device with a driver-activated control element predetermining engine operation and a speed regulating stage (5) and/or limiting stage (6) in order to regulate or limit driving speed by means of a setpoint input signal related to engine performance and by emitting a speed regulating or speed limiting adjustment signal related to engine performance. According to the invention, a torque characteristic stage (2) emits a torque-related setpoint input signal independently of actuation of the control element (1) predetermining engine operation and engine speed information (3). Said signal is fed to a torque/engine performance characteristic stage (13) on the input side of the speed regulating or limiting stage, whereby said characteristic stage determines the engine performance related setpoint input signal (14) according to engine speed from said signal. The engine performance related speed regulating signal or speed limiting adjustment signal is transformed by means of an engine performance/torque characteristic stage (16, 18) into an engine torque adjustment signal (20). The invention is used to control engines in relation to torque with speed regulating and/or speed limiting functionality.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'augmentation de la largeur de bande modale dans des réseaux informatiques utilisant une fibre optique multimodale et des sources à mode unique. Ce procédé consiste à empêcher le signal optique provenant du centre de la fibre optique de parvenir jusqu'au détecteur. On obtient ce résultat par plusieurs techniques différentes, parmi lesquelles l'utilisation de points opaques sur les supports/coupleurs de fibres ou l'utilisation de coupleurs de fibre à centre sombre. Ces configurations empêchent le dégroupement d'impulsion qui se produit dans les systèmes combinant une source à mode unique et une fibre multimodale, en empêchant la lumière du centre de la fibre multimodale d'interférer avec le détecteur. Cette opération permet d'isoler le détecteur des effets de dégroupement d'impulsion et lui permet de supporter des débits binaires accrus grâce à l'augmentation de la largeur de bande modale.
