Patent EP-1081075-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KISHINE TOSHIAKI
IPC: B65H23/34
Filed: 2000-04-22
Abstract: A web-handling machine is disclosed as typified
by a postprinting processing station (1) of a web-fed
rotary printing press wherein, traveling along a
predefined path, the printed web (2) is cut
longitudinally by a slitter (3) into a pair of halves,
one of which is then guided by a turnbar system (4) into
underlying relationship to the other. 
     In order to prevent the web from curling by
being held still and under tension against such
web-tensioning members as a tension roller (8) and a
turnbar (4a) when the machine is out of operation, at
least one of these members is made movable by drive means
(9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 20; or 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b and
17) between a working position in which the tension
member is disposed contiguous to the predefined path of
the web for holding the same under tension when the
machine is in operation, and a retracted position in
which the tension member is displaced away from the
predefined path of the web for relieving the same of
tension when the machine is out of operation.

Abstract: Ein Gerät zur Garten- und Landschaftspflege ist insbesondere als Mulchmäher ausgebildet und mit einem Differentialgetriebe ausgestattet, über das zwei Antriebsräder des Gerätes antreibbar sind. Dieses Ausgleichsgetriebe ermöglicht eine gleiche Drehmomentenübertragung auf die Antriebsräder, auch beim Kurvenfahren. Unter bestimmten Betriebsbedingungen, beispielsweise beim Schichtlinienfahren am Hang, ist es zweckmäßig, daß Differential zu sperren, da unter diesen Betriebsbedingungen das bergobere Rad aufgrund der Gewichtsverlagerung entlastet wird und durchdreht. Der Käfig (18) des Differentialgetriebes wird von einem Motor über ein Geschwindigkeitswechselgetriebe angetrieben, und die die Antriebsräder tragenden Halbwellen tragen Antriebskegelräder innerhalb des Käfigs (18), die mit Ausgleichsrädern in der üblichen Weise kämmen, so daß beim Kurvenfahren die Halbwellen unterschiedliche Drehzahlen aufweisen. Die Differentialsperre erfolgt über zwei große, gegeneinander drehbare, Keilriemenscheibenhälften (32,34), die über einen Keilriemen (50) kuppelbar sind. Die eine Keilriemenscheibenhälfte (32,34) ist mit dem Käfig (18) über eine, auf der ersten Halbwelle gelagerten, Hohlwelle verbunden, während die hiermit zusammenwirkende zweite Keilriemenscheibenhälfte (32,34) auf der ersten Halbwelle sitzt. Über die beiden Keilriemenscheibenhälften (32,34) ist ein Keilriemen (50) geführt, der über eine feste Rolle und eine Spannrolle läuft. Wenn die Spannrolle angespannt wird, werden die beiden Keilriemenscheiben (32,34) miteinander gekuppelt, so daß der Käfig (18) des Differentialgetriebes drehfest mit der ersten Halbwelle verbunden ist, und die zweite Halbwelle ist ebenfalls drehfest mit dem Käfig (18) des Differentialgetriebes verbunden, wodurch die beiden Antriebsräder miteinander starr und drehfest verbunden sind. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a resin-based dental restorative that
exhibits low volumetric shrinkage, high filler loading and the high strength required
for load bearing restorations, yet maintains a glossy appearance, even after substantial
wear. To this end, a dispersant is mixed with a methacrylate resin and a structural
filler having a mean particle size between about 0.05µm and about 0.50µm. The
composite is useful in stress bearing restorations and in cosmetic restorations. The
structural filler used is typically wound to a mean particle size of less than 0.5µm and
also includes a microfill having a mean particle size less than 0.05µm to improve
handling and mechanical characteristics. The preferred dental composites maintain
their surface finish even after substantial use and also have the strength properties of
hybrid composite resins.

Abstract: The phase noise of an oscillator described by a known set of differential algebraic
equations (DAEs) can be quickly and accurately predicted by a) finding the steady state
waveform of the oscillator, e.g., by using harmonic balance techniques or so-called
"shooting" techniques, either of which involves developing a mathematical quantity
known as the augmented Jacobian matrix; b) solving a prescribed linear system of
equations that uses the augmented Jacobian matrix, the solution being called a
perturbation projection vector (PPV), c) plotting a graph of the phase noise of the
oscillator as a Lorentzian function of the solution of the prescribed linear system of
equations. The prescribed linear system of equations which is used is the system of
equations formed by setting a matrix product equal to a unit vector. The factors in the
matrix product are 1) a form of the augmented Jacobian matrix, e.g., the Hermitian, for
use with the harmonic balance technique, or the adjoint, for use with shooting, and 2) the
PPV. The variables of the Lorentzian function of the solution of the prescribed linear
system of equations includes 1) the frequency at which the phase noise is to be found, 2)
a jitter factor determined for the oscillator, and 3) the steady state waveform of the
oscillator, which includes the natural frequency of the oscillator. The jitter factor for the
oscillator is determined using the PPV.

Abstract: A method and system of imaging an object. First, movement information of the object is
determined by using a navigation sensor array (410) and a navigation engine (420). Based on the
movement information, an imaging sensor strobe signal (444) is selectively asserted to control an
imaging sensor array. In response to an asserted imaging sensor strobe signal, the imaging sensor
array (204) captures sub-images of the object. The imaging sensor array has a plurality of pixels
for imaging a portion of the object at one time. The plurality of sub-images are captured
successively by the imaging sensor array as the object moves with respect to the imaging sensor
array. Then, a composite image of the object is generated based on the captured sub-images.
