Title: One-way clutch with planet gears
Inventor: JINBO NAOTO
IPC: F16H35/00
Filed: 2004-12-14
Abstract: A one-way clutch, for a copy machine, comprises a pinion 15 having an inner member 5 and an outer member 4 which may be driven by an electric motor via external gear teeth 3. When the inner member is stationary and the outer member is driven counterclockwise, planet gears 7 engaging inner teeth 2 try to rotate in the same direction while moving inside circumferential grooves 14. As a result, teeth tips on the planet gears 7 engage edges 17 between depressions 6 and removed surface 11 this action locks the planet gears 7 between the inner teeth 2 and the depressions 6 thereby connecting the outer member 4 to inner member 5 so that a driving force applied to the outer member 4 is transmitted to the inner member 5 which rotates a paper feed roller. When a jam occurs and paper is pulled out, the inner member 5 rotates clockwise and the planet gears are pushed by circumferential grooves 14 so that the teeth of the planet gears are disengaged from the edges 17 which allows the planet gears 7 to rotate freely. Accordingly, the rotation of the inner member 5 is not transmitted to the outer member 4 and jammed paper may be pulled out easily.

Title: Handover in a multi-layered cellular communication system
Inventor: FOSTER GERARD
IPC: H04W36/04
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: A cellular communication system comprises an access point 101 which supports an underlay cell of a first cell on an underlay frequency with the first cell using another frequency. A proximity detector 113 detects a user equipment 109 from its wireless transmission. The transmission is not a transmission of the cellular communication system but of a different transmission technology, for example RFID transmission from an RFID tag. In response to the proximity detection, the access point 101 temporarily transmits a pilot signal on the frequency of the first cell. The user equipment is then switched to the access point and the underlay frequency in response to an indication from the user equipment that the pilot signal has been detected. Following the handover the access point terminates the pilot signal. The approach allows a single frequency lead-in to the underlay cell despite this using a different frequency.
