Patent EP-0825598-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DAVIS MARVIN BENJAMIN
IPC: G11B17/043
Filed: 1995-08-17
Abstract: The mechanism for loading and unloading a disk cartridge (13) uses
two sliders (70, 73) (one on each side of a base plate (46)), which move in
opposite directions under the influence of a tiller (76). Each slider (70, 73)
has a slot (262, 281) to receive one of the two lifting pins (136, 139) provided
on the cartridge receiver (82). The movement of the sliders (70, 73) drives
the lifting pins (136, 139) along the slots (262, 281), thereby raising or
lowering the cartridge receiver (82) depending upon the direction of rotation
of the tiller (76). The sliding motion of the lifting pins (136, 139) engaged in
the S-shaped slots (262, 281) thus unloads a disk (14) from or, alternatively,
loads the disk (14) onto the drive spindle (61). As the lifting pins (136, 139)
travel along their respective slots (262, 281), the lifting and lowering of the
disk (14) is accomplished in such a manner that the disk hub (15) is peeled
from the spindle magnet (63) rather than being lifted vertically off the spindle
(61). This reduces the peak force required to break the magnetic clamp force
between the spindle magnet (63) and the disk hub (15). In this system, the
dust door (91) is attached to the cartridge receiver, and the label end of the
loaded cartridge (13) remains visible when the disk (14) is loaded. This
system may include a bias coil assembly (94) rotatably mounted on an arm
(97) so that the bias coil assembly (94) may be loaded into or extracted from
the disk cartridge (14) and placed out of the travel path of the disk cartridge
(14). The rotation of the bias coil arm (97) is effected by one of the sliders
(70, 73).

Abstract: An aqueous local anesthetic solution having a pH of 6.5-8.5, which
contains a local anesthetic included in cyclodextrin or a derivative
thereof in a concentration of the local anesthetic of not less than
0.02%, a method for improving solubility of local anesthetic in water
at a pH of 6.5-8.5, comprising including the local anesthetic in
cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof, a local anesthetic agent
comprising an inclusion compound of local anesthetic in cyclodextrin or
a derivative thereof, a method for decreasing neurotoxicity of local
anesthetic agent, comprising including the local anesthetic in
cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof, and an inclusion compound of
local anesthetic in cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof. The local
anesthetic agent and aqueous local anesthetic solution of the present
invention have decreased neurotoxicity, so that the duration of
anesthesia can be controlled clinically safely by reducing/increasing
its concentration or dose. In particular, the aqueous local anesthetic
solution can be used at a pH near that of a living body. Thus, it can
be used even when living tissue has an acidic pH. Moreover, the pain
caused by local acidosis at an injection site by a conventional local
anesthetic dissolved in an acidic solution can be reduced.

Abstract: An optical delay apparatus that regularly
alternately outputs beams having mutually different
delays on one optical axis and that can variably set a
delay amount of at least one beam. A motor 112
rotation-drives a rotating plate 111 in which
reflective portions and transmissive portions are
formed regularly alternately in the circumferential
direction. When an incident beam I0 is incident to a
reflective portion of the rotating plate 111, it is
reflected to generate a beam I1. When the incident
beam I0 is incident to a transmissive portion of the
rotating plate 111, a beam I2 transmitted is reflected
by a reflector 120 to become a beam I3, and the beam I3
is again transmitted by the transmissive portion of the
rotating plate 111. This beam I3 has a delay different
from that of the beam I1, and the beam I3 and the beam
I1 advance regularly alternately in the same direction
and on the same optical axis. Further, the reflector
120 is arranged as movable by a moving stage 130, and
the delay amount of the beam I3 changes with movement
of the reflector.

self-organized formation on a surface of a first semiconductor
having a plane orientation hardly allowing self-organized
formation, and selectively forming quantum boxes composed of

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission control system determines
the desired speed ratio (DTR) for a continuously variable transmission (14)
from various input data received from the vehicle and operator. The desired
speed ratio is compared (S1) with a commanded speed ratio (COM.SR) to
provide an error signal which establishes a new commanded speed ratio for
the continuously variable transmission. The comparing process of desired
speed ratio to commanded speed ratio is repeated until the error signal is
substantially null. Also, the control provides an adaptive modifier for the
actuator of the continuously variable transmission such that a comparison (S2)
of actual transmission ratio to commanded speed ratio will determine if an
adaptive modification is necessary. The control further provides a step
control function which is operable when the ratio of the continuously variable
transmission is moving toward an underdrive ratio. The step input commands
a large change in the actuator control valve to thereby accommodate reducing
the pressure in the controls of the continuously variable transmission and
thereby change the ratio rapidly.
