Patent EP-1607819-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SWADLING JEREMY PHILIP
IPC: G05D23/13
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: A mixer tap for a shower has a body 1, with a cold water pipe connection 2, a hot water pipe connection 3 and a mixed water outlet connection 4. A flow control knob 5 and a water temperature control knob 6 are provided at the front of the tap. 
     The tap has a flow mixer cartridge 11, which is sealed in a cavity 12 in the body. The collar has three sealing grooves 15,16,17 carrying O-rings 115,116,117. The front groove 15 is a plain circular groove and its O-ring mates with a circular-cylindrical land 215 at the front of the body cavity 12. Equally the rear groove 17 is also a plain circular groove of smaller diameter than the front groove 15 and its O-ring mates with a circular-cylindrical land 217 at the back of the body cavity 12. Between the lands, the cavity has a frusto-conical wall 216. The groove 16 and its O-ring 116 have a complementary, oblique shape. 
     To one side, of the oblique groove 16, the collar has a cold water port 22; whilst to the other side it has a hot water port 23. These ports are in communication with the cold and hot water connections 2,3 in the body. The connections are able to be axially aligned with each other, since the ports 22,23 are offset and isolated from each other by the oblique seal. Thus with the body forged from brass, the inlet pipe connections can be formed by straight forward machining operations. 
     The cartridge has a shuttle 52 arranged between rear and front barrel portions 31,41 to thermostatically control water temperature in conjunction with a thermostatic capsule 61 and the water temperature control knob 6. To the rear of the cartridge there is provided a flow controller 81. This is connected to the flow control knob 5 via actuation fingers 84, which pass through the shuttle.

Abstract: An airfoil (34), and in a disclosed embodiment a rotor blade, has a serpentine cooling path. To best account for the Coriolis effect, the paths of the serpentine cooling channel have trapezoidal cross-sections. An area of the rotor blade between a smaller side (43) of the trapezoidal-shaped paths, and a facing wall (46) of the rotor blade has high thermal and mechanical stresses, and is a challenge to adequately cool. A microcircuit (50), which is a very thin cooling circuit having crossing pedestals (112), is embedded into the blade in this area. The microcircuit provides additional cooling, and addresses the challenges with regard to cooling these areas.

Abstract: An input unit enters angular displacements by which drive shafts of a robot arm are to be turned as teaching data into a control unit. The control unit converts the input angular displacements into position-attitude data, namely, converted commands, indicating a position of the free end of the robot arm and an attitude of the robot in a rectangular coordinate system through forward conversion. The control unit corrects the position-attitude data on the basis of inherent errors in the robot to provide corrected position-attitude data. The control unit converts the corrected position-attitude data into corrected angular displacements through inverse conversion and gives the corrected angular displacements to an actuator included in the robot. The inherent errors in the robot include mechanismic errors resulting from machining errors and assembling errors, installation errors and errors in the origins of axes.

Abstract: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     A 3D MRI image is acquired as a series of spherical shells of increasing radius. Each shell is sampled by one or more interleaved spiral sampling trajectories and to shorten the scan time one or more spiral sampling trajectories are skipped in the larger shells that sample the periphery of k-space. Motion correction of the acquired k-space data is accomplished by reconstructing tracking images from each of the shells and locating markers therein which indicate object movement from a reference position. The k-space data is corrected using this movement information.

Abstract: A system and method for multiple phase clock generation is disclosed. The disclosed multiple phase clock circuit comprises of a multiple stage voltage controlled oscillator (401) (VCO) and multiple clock dividers (402A-402M). The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is made to operate at frequency 'N' times higher than the required output frequency. It generates 'M' equally spaced outputs having different phases but same frequency which are sent to multiple clock dividers. A modified Johnson counter is used as a clock divider. Each counter divides the frequency of the clock signal by N. As a result, each of the M outputs of the VCO are divided into N outputs, thereby making a total of 'M x N' equally spaced outputs. These output clock pulses have same frequency but different phases. A sequential logic (403) is provided within the device for enabling the Johnson counters as soon as the VCO starts giving output. This maintains the sequence of the output of the Johnson counters.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to techniques for collecting information. In an embodiment, a support engineer for a vendor, when desiring information to be collected at a customer site, creates an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file that includes collection instructions. The support engineer then sends the XML file to the customer who, upon receiving the XML file, posts the XML file to a collection system. The collection system having the XML file as an input invokes the collection software that executes the collection instructions included in the XML file, and generates the information desired by the support engineer. The collection system, via a pre-setup transport mechanism, then transfers the collected information to a system accessible to the support engineer on the vendor's site.
