Patent EP-1203544-A1 (EP)
Inventor: INOUE TOMOYUKI
IPC: A45D26/00
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: An epilating device has a rotary cylinder (40) carrying a plurality of pinching
row units (50) arranged around the cylinder. An actuator bar (101) is connected to
movable blades (71) in each row unit and is caused by a driven mechanism (41,110) to move
the movable blades (71) towards the adjacent blades (61) for pinching body hairs
therebetween and plucking the hairs as the cylinder rotates. After the actuator
bar (101) is released from the driven mechanism (110), the bar is urged by a return spring (120) to
move the blades away from the adjacent blade to be ready for subsequent hair
pinching. All the actuator bars spaced circumferentially around the cylinder and
provided respectively for the row units are coupled commonly to the one return
spring so that the epilating device can have an increased number of the row units
around the cylinder only at a minimum number of the springs.

Abstract: In an optical waveguide Y junction (1), comprising an input waveguide path (3), a
split portion (4) having one end smoothly connected to an end of said input waveguide path (3),
and a pair of bifurcated ends, and a pair of output waveguide paths (5,6) each having an end
smoothly connected to a corresponding one of said bifurcated ends of said split portion (4),
the split portion (4) defines a modified asymmetric Y-shaped waveguide path which is
defined by modifying an original symmetric Y-shaped waveguide path having a
substantially constant width by removing an asymmetric wedge-shaped section from a
side of the split portion interposed between the output waveguide paths (5,6). Thus, simply
by changing the inner profile of the split portion, a desired uneven split ratio can be
achieved without providing a spread out split portion or requiring any abrupt change in
the shape of the waveguide path. This contributes to the reduction in the loss of the
signal light. Also, a desired split ratio can be readily achieved by suitably changing the
dimensions of the wedge-shaped section. In particular, by selecting a wedge-shaped
inner profile, the design and fabrication of the junction can be simplified.

Abstract: A register of a processor is set to one value when a host is
connected to the processor and to a second value when no host is
connected. The processor then starts execution after reading the
register contents, and in response to the second value being
stored it writes a set value to a pointer storage location. When
the one value is stored, it leaves the content of the pointer
location unaffected.

Abstract: A method of optimising data streaming in a peer-to-peer architecture that comprises a
plurality of clients in a chain, a peer-to-peer data streaming system having such
architecture, and a client terminal for use in that system. Each client, except the last client in the chain,
monitors its own bandwidth, informs a succeeding client in the chain of that bandwidth, compares its
own bandwidth with the bandwidth of a preceding client in the chain and, in response
to a difference between the compared bandwidths, reorders its position among the
clients in the chain. 
     The chain thus dynamically reorganises itself to stream data more efficiently and
with higher, more reliable throughput, reducing the processing power necessary to
stream the data and enabling higher quality to be achieved compared to the existing essentially
client/server internet infrastructure. This approach also solves the 'bottle-neck' problem within the cascaded
streaming path by continuously organising the participating terminals into the most
efficient configuration, without interrupting the streamed data.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an autofocusing device, preferably for microscopes for wafer inspection, in which a point-shaped illumination diaphragm (1) which is illuminated by laser light is imaged in an observed object (5). An image of the point illuminated on the observed object (5) is formed in a measurement diaphragm arrangement conjugate to the illumination diaphragm (1), the position of maximum intensity of this image is determined by a position-sensitive detector (11) and this position is compared to a position corresponding to the focus position, and an actuating signal for autofocusing is obtained from the deviation between the two positions. In an autofocusing device of the type described above, the measurement diaphragm arrangement comprises a plurality of optically active components which are arranged one behind the other in axial direction and have partially transparent and partially opaque structures which complement one another, and the components are arranged in the beam path in front of and behind the position conjugate to the illumination diaphragm (1) within a distance from one another corresponding to the depth of focus. The cross section of the light beam coming from the observed object (5) is blocked by the structures to a greater or lesser extent depending on the position of the observed object (5).
