Title: Rotary valve for musical instruments
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT M
IPC: G10D9/04
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: A rotary valve for musical instruments is provided. The valve (30) is specially designed to have three internal passages (T1, T2, T3) with gentle curves and continuously circular passageways to provide true tonal qualities and a minimum of distortion. The valve passages have a bend radius of at least the diameter of the valve passage and the casing of the valve approximates three times the diameter of the passages. The valve passages to and from the loop are positioned on opposite sides of and cross over a through passage from the mouthpiece to the bell for economy of space and gentle passage curvature. The inlet and outlet openings in the loop engaging passages are located approximately 45-degree from one another along their axes to avoid substantial changes in the direction of air flow. The 45-degree angle is between diameters of the openings and can also be expressed as 135 degrees around the circumference of the rotor. Multiple valves for multiple loops are provided by rotating each subsequent valve 180 degrees. Valves with the internal and external short loops are also described.

Title: Mask pattern generating method
Inventor: OHNUMA HIDETOSHI
IPC: G03F1/68
Filed: 1999-01-20
Abstract: A mask pattern generating method capable of automatically arranging phase shifters efficiently without any discrepancies and to correct a line width difference caused by different densities of fine patterns; wherein shapes and phases of a plurality of phase shift patterns are determined based on positional relationships of a plurality of fine patterns, and the phases are determined so as to give a phase difference of the two sides of the fine patterns of 180 degrees. For example, a plurality of fine patterns are extracted from already designed element shape patterns, unit patterns of at least a predetermined width required for cancelling light interference are arranged at the two sides in the direction of fine line width for each of the extracted plurality of the fine patterns, and a plurality of phase stuff patterns are generated by OR processing of the unit patterns. Further, when there is a phase mismatch giving a phase difference of 0 degree, the phase mismatch is eliminated by changing the pattern such as dividing the phase shift pattern after layout compression etc. in accordance with need.

Title: Ring fuel conduits having switchable valves
Inventor: WITT MICHAEL
IPC: F02C7/22
Filed: 1999-05-19
Abstract: A gas turbine engine receives fuel from a main supply 20, which flows via ring conduits 12,14,16 to an annular combustion chamber having burners arranged in groups. Conduit 24 feeds pilot flames via conduit 12, while conduits 24,26 supply conduits 14,16. Switchable valves 25,27,29 are activated by a control circuit 30 via lines 32 to allow the delivery of a part quantity of fuel. Thus the pilot flames may be extinguished soon after start-up, and the number of burners set for a part-load state by switching burners on and off, so the burners can work in a low-pollutant range. Each burner group may have a different number of burners, but preferably between 10 and 60, the valves being arranged to switch individual burners, two, four or eight burners or whole groups. The valves may be solenoid, hydraulic or pneumatic or a combination of these. A relief valve 23 may be present. The emission of nitric oxides, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons is reduced in the part-load state.

Title: Power down circuit for a LCD device
Inventor: LEE HYUN CHANG
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: A circuit to eliminate the residual image effect caused by stored charge in LCD pixels after switching power off the device. A capacitor is charged during normal LCD operation until power down is initiated at which time the stored capacitor charge voltage is applied to the gate lines to switch on the thin film transistors on the gate lines allowing the residual pixel charge to be discharged through the data lines. As a result, residual images are rapidly eliminated from the liquid crystal panel upon power-off.

Title: Apparatus for pulling open the ends of pieces of flat tube delivered transversely and continuously during the production of sacks or bags
Inventor: RAUTENBERG HORST
IPC: B31B29/00
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: An apparatus which pulls open the ends 4 of pieces 5 of flat tube delivered transversely and continuously during the production of sack or bag cross-bottoms comprises lateral sheet metal supports 1,2 parallel to the delivery path and having a gap 3 formed between them which lies in the delivery plane. The ends 4 of the sacks 5 project through the gap 3 and are pre-opened by suckers 10 which pull apart the sides of the tube lying on each other. The sacks 5 are delivered downstream of the pre-opening section to a section where the lateral supports 1,2 form an obtuse angle dihedron, and a smooth covered roller 12, formed of two straight truncated cones 13 joined together by their smaller base faces, is set against the lateral supports 1,2 in such a way that the leading edge of the tube 5 encounters this roller 12. The smallest central diameter of the double-cone roller 12 is located in the delivery plane of the sacks 5 and the double-cone roller 12 form with the lateral supports 1,2, which they face, a passage gap for the ends 4. In the region of the double-cone roller 12, the sheet metal supports 1,2 are provided with apertures through which pass freely rotatable mounted supporting rollers 14, and driven conical rollers 17 are mounted on either side of the double-cone roller 12 to form a passage gap with the facing obtuse angled sheet metal supports 12. The circumferential speed of the driven double-cone roller 12 in its central region, and the circumferential speed of the conical rollers 17 at their smallest inner diameters, are substantially three times greater than the delivery speed of the pieces of tube 5.

Title: Removing dust particles from a relatively moving material web
Inventor: SCHNEIDER ROBERT NICOLAS ARMAN
IPC: B08B5/02
Filed: 1995-09-06
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH95/00196 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 6, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 6, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 6, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07460 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1996According to a method to remove dust particles from a stable material web which moves relative to a contact-free operating de-dusting device, a blower unit of the de-dusting device is provided at a specified first distance (d) and a grounded potential surface at a second distance (d) from the surface of the material web. The velocity and the pressure between the surface of the material and the potential surface of the ultrasonic gas flow existing from the blower unit is adjusted so that the product of the pressure and of the second distance (d) according to Paschen's law makes a discharge of the dust particles on the surface of the material feasible relative to the grounded potential surface. Furthermore, the adhesive forces (van der Waals forces) are overcome by the ultrasonic gas flow. Thus, these dust particles attached to the surface of the material are picked up by the ultrasonic gas flow without using electrically biased discharge electrodes, requiring electrical energy, and are removed by suction by at least one suction unit. The high operating expenses, required for equipment with electrically biased discharge electrodes, become superfluous with the described method.
