Abstract: A free access floor is placed on a floor slab in such a manner as to allow for space between the free access floor and a floor slab, effectively creating an area for laying cables, i.e., a cable passage. The floor is comprised of square floor panels 1, rectangular floor panels 2 and support legs 3. The rectangular floor panels and the square floor panels 1, 2 are formed of metal and have extension-part 1a, 2a extending from their respective sides. Each extension-part is forced downward to form a rib 1b, 2b. Each support leg has fitting grooves 3b on a top face and is positioned where corners of the floor panels converge. The ribs 1b, 2b formed on the square floor panels and rectangular floor panels are inserted into the fitting grooves 3b so that the panels 1, 2 are supported by the top faces of the support legs 3. The square floor panels 1 are placed at the crossing regions of the cable passage. Rectangular floor panels 2 are placed in the remaining regions.

Abstract: An electropneumatic device for the automatic threading of weft feeders (10) that comprise a fixed drum (11), a braking means (17) that elastically engages the drum, an inlet bush (19) and an outlet bush (20) for the thread, means (22-23-24) for producing, in the bushes, a pneumatic stream for entraining the thread that passes through the feeder (10) from one end to the other, passing in an intermediate channel (28), and a pneumatic pusher to disengage the braking means (17) from elastic contact with the drum (11) and allow the thread to pass. The pneumatic pusher (29) is arranged on the axis of the drum (11) and is actuated by a pneumatic actuator (30) accommodated in the drum and fed with a stream of air that is transferred into the drum by a distributor (31) arranged outside the drum (11) and can retractably move in order to avoid hindering the free unwinding of the thread (F) from the drum when the threading device is inactive.

Abstract: A selective calling receiver includes a keypad (105, 106) for inputting an instruction according to a user's manual operation and a detector (101, 102) for detecting an incoming call addressed to the selective calling receiver itself. A notifying circuit (113-117) notifies reception of the incoming call to a user through sound, light, and/or vibration. When the incoming call is detected, a control processor (103) transfers control to an incoming call notifying routine and, at the same time, ignores the instruction received from the keypad during a predetermined time period immediately after the incoming call has been detected. After the predetermined time period has passed, the instruction due to the user's manual operation is enabled again.

Abstract: A seal structure is provided having a configuration with a very small seal gap between a relatively stationary seal member and a complementary surface on a movable (rotatable) member (such as a rotating shaft) adjacent to which the stationary seal member is mounted. The stationary seal member is movable toward and away from the movable seal member so as to vary the seal gap therebetween. The seal is effective in applications where an incompressible fluid is provided on the high pressure side of the stationary seal member so that leakage along the seal gap is of an incompressible fluid into a lower pressure region on the other side of the seal gap. A sealing dam is provided on the stationary seal member on its sealing face adjacent the low pressure end of the seal gap. A plurality of elongated pads are formed on the sealing surface of the stationary seal member on the high pressure side of the sealing dam, extending perpendicularly to the direction of leakage flow along the seal gap. Lift pockets are formed in predetermined pads and positioned such that fluid is forced into the pocket by the velocity shearing gradient between the movable and stationary members to generate an increased pressure in the pockets to move the stationary seal member away from the movable member to increase the seal gap between the two. The lift pocket is of a depth sufficient, in the event of wear of the lift pocket surface, to result in a pressure increase in the lift pocket as a consequence of its reduction in depth to move the seal member away from the movable member, thereby causing the seal gap to become self-regulating in size. Several embodiments and modifications are presented.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reducing data copying overhead associated with protected memory operating systems. In an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Method) network, the present invention's NIC (network interface circuit) demultiplexes the information in the header of the incoming packet and routes the packet directly to its final destination using the present invention's concept of targeted buffer rings. Thus, instead of having the packet be DMA'd to a buffer in a descriptor ring in the kernel, it may be routed directly to the buffer ring of the destination process.

Title: Valved discharge mechanism of a fluid displacement apparatus
Inventor: HASHIMOTO KENJI
IPC: F04B39/10
Filed: 1996-11-07
Abstract: A fluid displacement apparatus comprises a valve plate member dividing a compressor housing into a first chamber and a discharge chamber. A passage is formed in the valve plate member to allow communicating between the first chamber and the discharge chamber. An elastic member disposed on the valve plate bends to open and close the end of the passage. The valve retainer member is secured to the valve plate together with the elastic valve member and has a curved portion. A valve seat includes a recessed portion offset from an end surface of the valve plate. The recessed portion includes an inclined portion and a wall portion extending therefrom. The distance between the beginning portion of the curved portion of the valve retainer member and the securing means is greater than the distance between an edge portion of the recessed portion of the valve seat and the securing means. Noise and vibration caused by the striking of discharge reed valve against the valve seat and the retainer member are decreased according to this arrangement.

Abstract: The method involves determining the instants (ti) when the signal exceeds a predetermined maximum (M) value. This is detected by analysis of a series of samples taken from the signal in a 'window' of time (W) positioned w.r.t. a local clock. The amplitude differences between successive samples are determined. The configuration of the amplitude differences is compared with known configurations representing acceptable maxima. When no correspondence is found, the frequency of the local clock is modified slightly to re-establish a sufficiently close similarity with an acceptable format.

Abstract: An alumina ceramic article and a method for preparing the article. The method has the steps of:
     (1) Compacting a mixture of a first concentration of particulate aluminum oxide and a second concentration of particulate zirconium oxide alloy. The first concentration is greater than 50 weight percent of the total of the first and second concentrations. The first concentration is sufficient to prevent retention of the zirconium oxide alloy particles in the surface in a predominantly tetragonal crystal structure. The zirconium oxide alloy is zirconium oxide and a secondary oxide selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO, Y 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 3 , and rare earth oxides. The zirconium oxide alloy has a concentration of secondary oxide of 2 to 20 mole percent relative to the total of the zirconium oxide alloy. The compacting results in the formation of a shaped intermediate product.   (2) Subsequent to formation of the shaped intermediate product, providing contact between the shaped intermediate product and a dopant oxide selected from MgO, ZnO, FeO, CoO, NiO, and MnO.   (3) Sintering the shaped intermediate product in contact with the dopant oxide. During the sintering the dopant oxide diffuses into the surface of the shaped intermediate product, converting the aluminum oxide particles in the surface into cubic spinel and converting the zirconium oxide alloy particles in the surface from a tetragonal crystal structure to cubic and monoclinic crystal structures.   
     The core is sintered particles of aluminum oxide or of aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide alloy in a tetragonal crystal structure. The surface or case is sintered particles of cubic spinel or cubic spinel and zirconium oxide alloy in non-tetragonal crystal structures.
