Patent EP-1195527-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOSIEWICZ ROBERTO EDUARDO
IPC: F04D29/02
Filed: 2001-10-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to an axial fan of the type comprising a hub (1), a plurality
of arms extending radially outwardly from the hub (1) and blade members (12, 12'), each
blade member (12, 12') being secured to its respective arm, wherein the arms consist of
flexible elements (7) with a bending stiffness such that, in operation, the blade members (12,
12') are inclined at an angle at which the centrifugal forces (CF) acting on the blade members
(12, 12') neutralise the traction forces (TF) acting on same. 
     The load variations and ensuing vibrations are thus substantially reduced, thereby increasing
the service life of the fan blades and the drive mechanism.

Abstract: The labels present a central portion (13) provided with at least one brand
name, and two opposing lateral tails (11b) folded against the rear face.
The method consists of advancing a continuous fabric tape (10) consisting
of a succession of label portions (11n) joined together, and cyclically
halting the tape (10) in such a manner that its front end becomes disposed
in a cutting and folding station (30) where it undergoes separation of each
label portion (11n) from the front end of the tape (10) and folding of the
two opposing tails (11b) of the label along two fixed folding planes (B1 and
B2). Each cycle comprises: determining the length of each label portion
(11n) by sensing, at a fixed point of the path, the passage of a
predetermined corresponding point (13') of each label (11n) in succession;
advancing the tape (10) under the control of an encoder means; and
halting each label within the folding station in a position in which the
central portion is in constant geometrical relationship with the fixed folding
axes (B1 and B2), following processing of the determined value
representing the length of the label portion (11n).

Abstract: A purge/clean system for a liquid jet apparatus, such
as an ink jet printing system, having a liquid chamber
including a chamber wall having an exterior surface and at
least one orifice (60) though which liquid is ejected
towards a substrate. The purge/clean system involves a
cavity defined adjacent the exterior surface of the chamber
wall into which liquid which is, expelled from the at least
one orifice (60) during a purging or cleaning operation is
permitted to flow and a vacuum pump for withdrawing liquid
which is contained within the cavity. The cavity can be
provided by a plurality of plates (90,88,86) arranged in an
assembled, or stacked, relationship against the exterior
surface of the chamber wall and, with the aid of a fan or
compressor, can be used to create a zone of above -
atmospheric pressure adjacent the exterior surface of the
printer head. With the zone of above-atmospheric pressure
created within the cavity, any leakage of air from the
region into the atmosphere effects a flow of air out of the
region and thereby helps to maintain the at least one
orifice in a relatively clean condition.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to ensure so-called laser safety, also in the case of the largest possible coupled optical power, during the direct optical coupling of a light-emitting component (1) to an optical waveguide (20). To this end, the light is coupled via a fiber end (10) which is configured as a multimode step index optical waveguide and whose numeric aperture is larger than the half-width value of the angular distribution of the radiation (2) emitted from the radiation source. In order to distribute the radiation (2'), which is fed into the actual optical waveguide, over the largest possible angular range with regard to the luminous power, the coupling of the light beam into the fiber end is effected in such a manner that the coupled light beams (2') are inclined in relation to the geometric axis of the optical core (11) of the fiber end (10) with a defined angle (f).

Abstract: A remote view station (26) is communicatively coupled to an image server (24) and receives a compressed version of source medical images. The remote view station (26) uncompresses and displays the received medical image. A medical professional, such as a pathologist, can select a region of the displayed medical image. Region information is transmitted back to the image server that applies image analysis operations on a region of the source medical image that corresponds to the selected region of the compressed medical image. In this manner, the data loss that occurs during image compression does not effect the image analysis operations. As such, the image analysis operations produce more accurate results than if the operations were applied by remote view station to the uncompressed image.
