Patent EP-1362713-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DORAN KEVIN GEORGE
IPC: B44C7/02
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: A wallpaper removing steamer can comprise a base provided at each
corner with suction cups which are mechanically operated by rotatable
levers connected to a common actuator arm. Such mechanically operated
suction cups seal efficiently with smooth, planar surfaces. However,
local areas of wall are often by no means flat and an effective suction
action is not always achieved. 
     The present invention provides a wallpaper removing steamer (1)
comprising a steam applicator assembly mounted on a base (2) for
dispensing steam on receipt thereof. Four suction cups (6) are provided
at each corner of the base (2) and are adapted to secure the base (2) to a
wall papered surface, each suction cup (6) being connected to a vacuum
supply (12, 17, 18, 19, 20). 
     The use of a vacuum supply (12, 17, 18, 19, 20) enables suction cups (6)
of a less rigid construction to be employed than those which are
mechanically operated. The use of more compliant cups (6) can facilitate
self-adjustment of the cups (6) to an uneven wall surface. The cups (6)
can be of concertina form and can be provided with an annular, flexible
closed-cell foam pad (16) around their mouths to assist in sealing against
an irregular surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to control transmit power in a wireless
transmitter. By receiving a number of transmit control protocol (TCP) segments,
converting the TCP segments to radio link control (RLC) frames and transmitting the
RLC frames based on a predetermined targeted frame error rate, the initial RLC frames
are transmitted using a minimum of power. Any unsuccessfully transmitted RLC frames
are cyclically re-transmitted, along with a number of new RLC frames, at decreasing
targeted frame error rates, until all RLC frames in a given transmission cycle are
successfully transmitted. Accordingly, a new block of RLC frames are transmitted at the
predetermined maximum targeted frame error rate. By transmitting RLC frames in this
fashion, the overall transmit power can be reduced as compared to conventional
transmission techniques, while increasing total data throughput.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réflecteur et un système d'antenne satellite comportant un tel réflecteur. Dans ce système d'antenne satellite, le rayonnement de micro-ondes provenant d'un ou de plusieurs cornets d'alimentation (5) est émis vers le réflecteur (1), lequel comprend des premier et second éléments de réflecteur (2,3). Lorsque le rayonnement provenant des éléments de réflecteur (2, 3) est réfléchi, l'énergie des micro-ondes apparaît sous la forme d'un faisceau distinct. Les éléments de réflecteur (2, 3) sont disposés à une distance fixe l'un par rapport à l'autre de sorte que le rayonnement qui taverse le premier élément de réflecteur (2) tombe sur le second élément. Le premier élément de réflecteur (2) présente une structure en treillis orientée vers l'un des cornets d'alimentation. Cette structure en treillis est constituée de plaques (8) de matériau électro-conducteur, la distance entre ces plaques ainsi que leur profondeur étant prévues pour réfléchir la polarisation parallèlement aux plaques. Cette invention est caractérisée en ce que le prolongement de chaque plaque respective vers le second élément de réflecteur est choisi de façon à réduire l'affaiblissement de transmission dans le premier élément de réflecteur.

A drive mechanism for an injection device is disclosed comprising a piston member 10, a semi rigid belt 18 connected to the piston member 10, a belt drive means to selectively engage with the semi rigid belt 18 to drive the semi rigid belt 18, and a dose setting mechanism to control the selective engagement of the semi rigid belt in which the semi rigid belt 18 includes a track incorporated therein and the belt drive means comprises a tooth 50 for selective engagement with the track to drive the belt 18 only when there is relative movement between the semi rigid belt 18 and the tooth 50 in a first direction. An injection device comprising such a drive mechanism is also disclosed.

Advantageously, the device allows the realisation of a method for measuring the weight of the preform wherein the errors in measurement caused by thermal drift effects, by the axial distribution of the masses on the preform and by loads which are different from the mass of the preform in formation are reduced to below the required precision in measurement.

Abstract: Disclosed is a ReCrNi alloy coating for diffusion barrier, such as a high-temperature
equipment member, consisting essentially of a ternary alloy and having, except for inevitable
impurities, an atomic composition of 20 % to 80 % Re, an atomic composition of 20 % to
60 % Cr, and an atomic composition of 5 % to 40 % Ni. Even if the alloy coating for
diffusion barrier includes a diffusion layer containing at least one of the group consisting of
Al, Si and Cr, a desired alloy composition of the alloy coating for diffusion barrier can be
assured by a surface coating process and diffused components from the substrate while
substantially preventing the diffusion of the elements of the diffusion layer during a
homogenizing heat treatment. The alloy coating for diffusion barrier may include a
Re-containing-alloy stress relief layer inserted between the film and the substrate. The
ReCrNi alloy coating can suppress the deterioration of the substrate and the coating layer due
to the reaction therebetween to provide an extended life span of the equipment member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of processing digital
power with pulse area modulation. This apparatus is composed of a front end circuit
(1), a double limit delay comparison circuit (2), an integrating circuit (7), a drive
circuit (3), a switching circuit (4), a power source (5) and a filter circuit (6). The
double limits of signal and feedback comparison signal will be compared in the
double limit delay comparison circuit. When the value of feedback comparison
signal is greater than the upper limit, the double limit delay comparison circuit will
output a low level. When the value of feedback comparison signal is smaller than
the lower limit, the double limit delay comparison circuit will output a high level.
Integrating circuit samples from the output of main switching circuit, and then sends
a feedback signal (Y) to the double limit delay comparison circuit. The feedback
signal is the average output of actual pulse area, which is consistent with signal (S)
and also overlaps fluctuate showing whether pulse exists or not and being related to
pulse.
