Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the limitation of steam released from a washing machine. The device consists of a sequence of adjacent vertical chambers (17), separated by vertical parallel baffles (16) alternately interrupted at the upper or lower ends for the reciprocal alternate communication between adjacent chambers and provided with intermediate deflecting walls (21) for the partial conversion of the steam into condensation water. The adjacent chambers (17) define a labyrinth path with sequential chambers (17) with an alternately rising and descending vertical steam flow from a steam inlet aperture (11) communicating with the washing drum of the machine to an expansion chamber (24) provided with an upper steam outlet hole (26) and with a lower hole (23) wherein condensation water is conveyed for return into the drum.

Abstract: The technical field of the invention is that of deep-drawn plastic packages, in particular rectangular cups whose outer face carries an image or a visual decoration. The invention relates to the plastic container provided with a decorative label, to a process for applying a label without glue on a non-printed container, and to a device for carrying out the process or for producing the disclosed package. The object of the invention is to develop a fast process which applies better quality decorations or identifying signs on the plastic packages without substantially increasing costs. For that purpose, the plastic package is provided with a detachable decorative label. The label (20) is linearly applied on the wall (11) of the plastic container (10) by ultrasound-produced welding points (21a, 21b, 21c,... in short: 21) close to its edges and the welding points (21) have a much smaller surface than the label (20).

Abstract: The present invention aims to prevent the
conveying accuracy of the recording sheet from being
worsened. 
     A recording apparatus comprises a recording
portion, a convey means, and a discharge means. It
further comprises an urging means (5c and the like) for
urging the pinch roller against the recording sheet, an
urging force controlling means (19 and the like) for
controlling an urging force of the urging means, and a
detecting means (1, 2 and the like) for detecting the
fact that a trail end of the recording sheet is
conveyed up to a predetermined position disposed
upstream of a position where the trail end of the
recording sheet leaves the pinch roller. The urging
force controlling means reduces or releases the urging
force of said urging means on the basis of a detection
result from the detecting means, thereby eliminating
the force of the pinch roller acting on the trail end
of the recording sheet.

Title: Address assignment in an ATM  switched network
Inventor: REAVES JAMES EDWIN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: An ATM switched network has an ATM switch, an address server, and
a plurality of nodes connected through virtual connections established by
the ATM switch. When a node fails and is replaced, the ATM switch
recognizes the installation of the node and notifies the address server. The
address server selects an ATM address for the replacement node and
sends the ATM address and an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the node.
The node responds by requesting configuration data, which the address
server downloads to the node. Thereafter, the node may initialize its
communication interfaces within the ATM network. The address server also
assigns ATM and IP addresses to network nodes following power-up of the
network. Nodes are assigned an ATM address and an IP address by the
address server, thereby eliminating the need to configure nodes with
addressing information during manufacture or installation.

Abstract: An expandable tubular reinforcing member (10, 20, 35) of the
invention is used for a body lumen, such as a blood vessel for
reinforcement. The reinforcing member is formed of a tortuous
section (12, 13, 22, 23, 36) having a plurality of laterally
extending elongated members (15, 25, 26, 37, 38), and a plurality
of vertically extending end members (16, 27, 28, 40) situated
between two adjacent elongated members for connecting the same.
The tortuous section is arranged diagonally to form a cylindrical
shape with a first diameter extending in a spiral form. The
elongated members generally extend parallel to a central axis of
the cylindrical shape. A plurality of joint members (18, 29, 41)
is situated between two end members arranged in the cylindrical
shape to keep the shape. When a radial force is applied from an
inside of the reinforcing member, the elongated members are bent
relative to the end members to thereby allow the tubular
reinforcing member to have a second diameter larger than the first
diameter to thereby hold the body lumen.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting racks of sealed sample tubes,
mixing a sample material contained within the tubes, and aspirating
samples from the tubes. The apparatus includes a car which runs
along a rail. The car drives racks containing the sample tubes into a
mixer channel disposed above and running parallel to the rail. The
mixer channel is mounted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rail to
mix samples and position the tubes to be aspirated. A push pin
mounted adjacent to the mixer channel extends into the mixer channel
and urges individual tubes against an aspirator assembly mounted on
the opposite side of the mixer channel. An input queue is disposed
proximate the input side of the rail and an output queue disposed
proximate the output side of the rail. The input queue supports the
racks and feeds them into position to be driven by the car mechanism
into the mixer channel. The output queue receives racks after being
aspirated and feeds them aft to make room for subsequent racks driven
by the car from the mixer channel. The racks include a lateral front
wall, a lateral rear wall and a horizontal bottom wall connecting the
front wall to the back wall. The racks also include a plurality of
vertical side walls connected to the front wall and the back wall to
define a plurality of tube receptacles. The bottom wall includes a
plurality of equidistantly spaced apertures, each of which is centrally
located within a tube receptacle to provide the push pin access to the
tubes. The bottom wall also includes a plurality of ribs extending from
the front wall to the back wall to be engaged by the car. Biasing
means are disposed within each of the tube receptacles to support
sample tubes therein.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide an alternator for a
vehicle in which all electric conductors forming bridge portions are
sufficiently exposed to cooling winds so that the cooling
performance is remarkably improved. It is another object of this
invention to provide an alternator for a vehicle which is excellent in
cooling performance, insulating characteristic, and heat resisting
property. An alternator for a vehicle includes a stator. The stator
includes an iron core 22, an electric conductor 21, and an insulator
23. The electric conductor 21 forms a winding on the iron core 22.
The insulator 23 provides electric insulation between the electric
conductor 21 and the iron core 22. The stator is supported by a
housing. The dimension of openings of slots in the iron core 22 is
smaller than the distance between inner side surfaces of the slots.
The electric conductor 21 has accommodated portions
accommodated in the slots, and bridge portions connecting the
accommodated portions. Pieces of the electric conductor which
extend out of the slots are approximately separated into a conductor
groups 21f located on outer radial sides of the slots and a conductor
group 21g located on inner radial sides of the slots, and form the
bridge portions. Predetermined gaps are provided between pieces
of the electric conductor in the bridge portions. The bridge
portions have ridge portions inclined in a same circumferential
direction in each of the outer radial side and the inner radial side,
and top portions connecting the ridge portions along an axial and
radial direction.
