Patent EP-1426998-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TANJI TAKAYOSHI
IPC: H01J37/26
Filed: 2003-11-19
Abstract: An electron beam is emitted from an electron beam source, and
deflected at different directions with a deflection plate to form a first electron
beam E1 and a second electron beam E2. The first electron beam E1 is incident
onto a given portion of a sample at an angle of 1, and the second electron beam
E2 is incident onto the same portion of the sample at an angle of 2. A first
image and a second image of the portion of the sample by the first electron beam
E1 and the second electron beam E2 are combined at a three-dimensional
displaying device to display the portion of the sample three-dimensionally.
Patent EP-1355408-A2 (EP)

IPC: H02M3/335

Abstract: A switch-mode power converter that powers the fan
or blower unit in a communication system is used to
suppress the audio band noise, thereby eliminating any
need for additional passive or active filters used in
the prior art. The frequency response of a switch-mode
DC/DC converter is set by a control loop. By modifying
the feedback amplifier compensation network in the
control loop such that the frequency control loop
bandwidth of the converter is substantially less than
the AC load of the fans or blowers, the invention
eliminates the need for additional filtering beyond
that inherent in the power converter.

Title: Chalk line with handle reservoir
Inventor: DEKORT HENRY
IPC: B44D3/38
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: A chalk line tool (1) is provided having a tear-drop shaped body (2) which houses a chalk line spool (9) and chalk (13) for coating the chalk line (4) and a handle (3) connected to the body and acting as a reservoir for additional chalk. The reservoir (19) feeds the cavity (12) in the body. The flow of chalk is controlled between the reservoir and the cavity. The handle advantageously acts to maintain the operator's hands away from the hand crank (8) used to retract the chalk line (4) and provides an extended reach with the tool for improved ergonomics when using the tool. The chalk line tool can be manufactured with the handle or can be retrofit with parts which are supplied as a kit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a warping machine having a knot aligning
device that can set yarns from a large number of yarn supplying packages at
mutually consistent respective winding start positions, each of the yarn supplying
packages being obtained by tying predetermined lengths of yarns of various colors
or types together and then winding the resulting yarn into the yarn supplying
package, in association with small lot machining in many kind production or the
manufacture of sample fabrics. When yarns Y are drawn out from a large number of
yarn supplying packages P and then wound around a beam 4, they are passed through
a slit S that can be freely formed by paired rollers including a moving roller 1
and a fixed roller 2. When the yarns Y drawn out from the respective yarn
supplying packages P are set at the mutually consistent respective winding start
positions, a slit S is formed which is wider than the thickness of each yarn Y but
is narrower than the thickness of a knot YN in the yarn Y. When the aligned yarns
Y are taken up all together, the moving roller 1 is separated from the fixed roller
2 to open the slit S.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une protection pour circuits intégrés contre des transitoires de décharge électrostatique (DES) comprend un circuit pourvu d'un circuit maître activant un circuit esclave. Ledit circuit maître répond à une tension DES V(t). Ledit circuit esclave comprend des dispositifs shunt en parallèle possédant des entrées communes. La sortie du circuit maître est couplée aux entrées communes. A mesure que V(t) augmente, le circuit maître applique une partie de V(t) au niveau de l'entrée des dispositif shunt esclaves. La tension seuil Vt1 constitue une tension, à laquelle lesdits dispositifs shunt du circuit esclave se mettraient autrement en marche à une valeur inférieure Vt1' plus proche de la tension de maintien Vh des dispositifs shunt. Tous les dispositifs du circuit esclave se mettent en marche pratiquement simultanément à environ Vt1' proche de Vh, ce qui permet de dévier la transitoire DES à la terre à une valeur inférieure de V(t). Les circuits maître et esclave sont inactifs pendant le fonctionnement normal des circuits intégrés.
