Patent EP-1179678-A3 (EP)
Inventor: URYU AKIFUMI
IPC: F04B27/08
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: A power transmitting mechanism transmits power from an
engine to a drive shaft (6) of a compressor. A pulley (32) is
supported by the compressor and is coupled to the engine. A
hub (35b) is attached to the drive shaft (6). Rollers (39)
are located on the pulley (32). Elastic transmission arms
(42) are located between the pulley (32) and the hub (35b).
The distal end of each arm (42) is curved, and the proximal
end is coupled to the hub (35b). When the rollers are engaged
with the arms (42), power is transmitted between the pulley
(32) and the hub (35b). When, due to excessive torque, the
rollers (39) escape from the corresponding arm (42), power
transmission between the pulley (32) and the hub (35b) is
disconnected. The distal ends of the arms (42) are movable in
the radial direction. When the rollers (39) disengage from
the corresponding arms (42), the distal ends of the arms (42)
move radially such that the pulley (32) and the hub (35b)
relatively rotate without interference by the arms (42).

Abstract: Impregnation of wood comprises: immersion of the wood in a preheated dispersion containing impregnating oil and water soluble polymers; extracting water from the wood; creating a shear force in the dispersion to split the polymers and create a greater surface area for drawing in additional water; and then pressurizing the emulsion into the wood in one or more cycles. A dispersion is created in a tank (1) by combining impregnating oil and water soluble polymers. The dispersion is preheated to 100 [deg]C and pumped into an impregnation tank (13) containing wood to be treated. The dispersion temperature is raised to 100-130 [deg]C while continuously circulating and water extracted from the wood is partially combined with the polymers. A shear force is then created in the dispersion to split the polymers and create a greater surface area for drawing in additional water. The emulsion is then pressurized into the wood in one or more cycles. An independent claim is also included for the process plant comprising a dispersion forming tank (1) and an impregnation tank with a unit (26) for producing a shear force in the dispersion.

Abstract: A technique allowing more than one wireless unit (e.g., a plurality of mobile
phones) to share a single telephone (i.e., directory) number is disclosed. One telephone
number is assigned to more than one wireless unit, where each wireless unit has a
different electronic serial number. The mobile switching center (MSC) tracks the current
location of each wireless unit and stores this information in a location registration
database. Each time an active wireless unit moves out of a cell (or sector) and enters a
new cell (or sector), it registers with the MSC which updates its location registration
database with the current location of the wireless unit. When the MSC receives an
incoming call for a telephone number shared by multiple wireless units, the MSC
accesses the location registration database and forwards the incoming call to all the
wireless units assigned to the shared telephone number. When one of the wireless units
answers, the MSC connects the call between the calling party and the wireless unit. At
the same time, the MSC transmits a signal to the remaining wireless units assigned to
that telephone number indicating that another wireless unit is conducting an active call.
One or more remaining wireless units (i.e., other than the one that answered the call)
may join the call-in-progress. Each time a new wireless unit joins the call-in-progress,
the wireless units already participating in the call are notified by the MSC. Similarly,
when one of the wireless units originates an outgoing call, the MSC connects the caller
to the called party and transmits a signal to the remaining wireless units assigned to the
shared telephone number indicating that one of the wireless units is conducting an active
call. The other wireless units have the option to join the call-in-progress, and any time a
new wireless unit joins the call-in-progress, the wireless units already participating in the
call are notified.

Inventor: CAVALIERE FABIO
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: Data transmitted on optical fibre over long distances is subject to the introduction of
errors at the receiving end, caused by distortions and alterations of the original data.
Raising the transmission power to increase the level of signals at the receiving end
also increases errors due to non-linear characteristics of the fibre. The invention
optimises launch power by assessing error rates due to amplified spontaneous
emissions and due to four wave mixing, so that signal to noise ratios due to these
causes exceed threshold levels whilst enabling launch power to be maximised.

IPC: G01R29/04
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A digital quasi-RMS detector is provided that approximates the time-varying
RMS energy of a signal. The digital quasi-RMS detector rectifies the
signal and compares the rectified signal with an estimated present energy value of
the audio signal. If the difference between the rectified signal and the estimated
present energy value is not greater than zero, then the digital quasi-RMS detector
multiplies the rectified signal by a first time constant to generate a first filtered
signal and sums the first filtered signal with the estimated present energy value to
determine the approximate RMS energy. If the difference between the rectified
signal and the estimated present energy is greater than zero, however, then the
digital quasi-RMS detector multiplies the rectified signal by a second time
constant to generate a second filtered signal and sums the second filtered signal
with the estimated present energy value to determine the approximate RMS
energy.

collimator lens (414). Alternatively, photolithographic processes can provide the required
positional accuracy for fiducials (212' and/or 222) on the assembly and/or the optical
element During alignment, a computer-controllable process can use machine vision or
distance measurements to identify the position and the orientation of the assembly relative
to the optical element. Based on the identified position and orientation, the process moves
the assembly to the target position and orientation that provide sufficient optical power
flow through the optical element for a fine alignment process.
