Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new family of antennas with a multiband behaviour and a reduced size. The general configuration of the antenna consists of a multilevel structure which provides the multiband behaviour, combined with a multilevel and/or space-filling ground-plane. The multilevel structure consists of two arms of different length that follow a winding parallel path spaced by a winding parallel gap (parallel to the arms) with a substantially similar shape as each of said arms, that is, with a similar winding path as the arms. The resulting antenna covers the major current and future wireless services, opening this way a wide range of possibilities in the design of universal, multi-purpose, wireless terminals and devices.

Abstract: The invention modulates the air-volume in both mattress-type foam and traditional coil spring cores interactively, obtaining a wide variety of levels of density and indentation force deflection (IFD or spring-back force) .The mattress is enclosed in an airtight cover chamber (A) comprising a valve (12) for evacuating air. In addition, foam and coil spring cores may be enclosed in additional airtight chambers (B) (C) having their own valve (34, 46, 45) to evacuate air. Applying vacuum selectively within the various chamber of the mattress allows to modulate the comfort characteristics of the mattress. The invention takes advantage of the unique interactive behavior of self-inflating foam and coil spring constructions to create multiple levels of comfort for one or more users of the same device.

Title: ASSEMBLY OF TIRE AND RIM, AND TIRE
Inventor: MASAOKA KEN
IPC: B60C9/08
Filed: 2002-10-01
Abstract: An assembly of a tire and a rim, wherein the internal pressure of the
tire acts so as to increase a belt tension at a belt layer (30) since the internal
pressure directs to the outer radial direction of the tire at an increased
width part (12) and, since the horizontal portions (14a) of drawn parts (14)
are prevented from being swelled toward the center of the tire by the flange
parts (22) of a rim (20), the drawn parts (14) are swelled toward the center
of the tire, whereby, since a reduction in belt tension can be avoided to
maintain the roundness of the belt layer (30) and thus a rolling resistance
can be lowered.

Abstract: Liposuction devices and methods and surrounding aspiration systems and methods that reduce the chances of burning and necrosis. The devices include an evacuation tube surrounding an ultrasonic probe, including the distal end thereof to define a liquefaction and/or rupture chamber. The evacuation tube has one or more openings in the distal end through which tissue such as fatty tissue may enter for rupture/liquefaction therein. Containing the ultrasonic probe within the evacuation tube avoids any possible contact with surrounding tissue other than tissue that gets drawn into the liquefaction and/or rupture chamber. The size of the liquefaction and/or rupture chamber may be variable by adjustment of the axial position of the evacuation tube relative to the ultrasonic probe, or by selection of evacuation tubes of the desired length. Various embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An optical disk drive (101) for optically recording and/or reproducing information signals is provided in which the power of a light beam emitted from an optical head (104) to an optical disk (102) is controlled by an optical-coupling efficiency varying elements (214, 215) correspondingly to the type of the optical disk, recording layer in a multilayer optical disk and a mode of operation selected while a variation of the optical-coupling efficiency is being detected by a light-detecting element (216), thereby positively varying the optical-coupling efficiency in a minimum necessary time. Thus, the power of the light beam focused on the optical disk can be varied in a wide range without having to extremely raise the ratio in output power between modes of operation at a light source (212). Therefore, even a light source whose rating of optical output power is small can be used to write and read information signals to and from any of optical disks of different types or to each of recording layers in a multilayer optical disk with a high accuracy. Namely, good characteristics in writing and reading information signals can be assured without having to largely vary the ratio in output power of the light source from the write to read mode, from one to another type of optical disks or from one to another recording layer of the multilayer optical disk.

IPC: A62D3/40
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: A method and a plant are disclosed, by means of which materials comprising chemical weapons, in particular organoarsenides can be disposed of. Said materials are fed in a conventional manner through a pyrolyser (1) in which the chemical weapons are at least partly reduced in an inert atmosphere at elevated temperature, whereby a part of the pyrolysis product is deposited on the surfaces of the metal scrap in a solid form. According to the invention, on passing through the pyrolyser (1), a flowing bulk material, made of small-particle bodies, presenting a large surface area, is added to the material for disposal. A layer of solid pyrolysis products also separates out on said bodies in the pyrolyser (1), such that the proportion of the pyrolysis products on the metal scrap, which can then not be recovered, is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A liquid feed fuel cell system having a unique fuel container and delivery assembly is provided. The container and delivery assembly allows liquid fuel which, in a preferred embodiment, is in the form of either pure methanol or an aqueous methanol/water mixture, to be placed under pressure so that it is delivered to the cell in a continuous manner. The fuel substance is stored in a flexible bladder that is housed in an outer container. The inner flexible bladder containing the fuel is fitted with a pressure-applying element that exerts a continuous pressure upon the fuel-containing flexible bladder to maintain pressure on the bladder in such a manner that the fuel is expressed through a conduit in the container, to the direct oxidation fuel cell in a continuous manner. The fuel container and delivery system of the present invention delivers fuel simply and inexpensively to the liquid feed fuel cell while it is being used in any orientation. In one embodiment of the invention, the pressure-applying element includes a spring-loaded plate that compresses the flexible bladder to apply pressure to the liquid fuel. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an expandable material such as expandable foam is applied to the plate to exert pressure upon the flexible bladder. A rotating axle and compression spring may also be employed to drive a displacement element along the bladder to compress it. The fuel container, in one embodiment, may be a disposable cartridge.

Abstract: In the measurement of the dynamic surface tension of a liquid for determining the maximum bubble pressure, the minimum bubble pressure is measured to determine the hydrostatic pressure. The measurement is undertaken by hand and the volume of gas used for the measurement is dampened elastically but is essentially free of pressure variations or pulse action. The measurement is made using a measured volume of gas suitable for the process. Generation of the chosen gas volume is essentially de-coupled by a throttle from the maximum and minimum bubble pressure. Independent claims are also included for an apparatus for the above process, and the production of a laminated throttle plate (18). The throttle plate is essentially of laminated construction and is formed by photolithography, laser cutting of a surface mounted device solder paste mask, and/or metal micro-milling.
