Patent IE-922911-A1 (IE)
Title: Height adjustment system for vacuum cleaner
Inventor: STEPHENS PAUL DANA
IPC: A47L5/30
Filed: 1992-12-16
Abstract: A height adjustment system for an upright vacuum cleaner (10) comprises a cam member (50) with a cam surface (38). The cam member is mounted within a base and includes rollers which facilitate the sliding lateral movement of the cam member within the base. The rollers (46) roll within a channel within the base. Notches (96,98,100) are formed in the side walls (78) of the channel and receive a resiliently deformable indexing member (104) which locates and fixes a cam follower (30) at discrete points (90,92,94) along the cam surface. A secondary height adjustment means comprises a ledge located on a housing (120) which is attached to a handle (122). When the handle of the vacuum cleaner is rotated from a use position to an upright locked position, the ledge on the housing displaces a finger (130) which pushes against a fulcrum plate (160) attached to an axle (28) connected to the front wheels (22) of the vacuum cleaner. When the axle is so displaced, the front wheels swing downwardly, thereby raising the rotating brush above the floor surface so that the floor surface to be cleaned is not damaged while the vacuum remains stationary.

Title: Joint least-square synchronization, channel estimation and noise estimation
Inventor: JOHANSSON INGEMAR
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for acquiring time synchronization, as well as a channel estimate and a noise estimate for a received signal are described. First, a burst of data which includes a training sequence is received. Then, groups of received training sequence measurements are created. For each of these groups, a set of linear equations is set up. Next, methods according to the present invention determine the least square estimate by solving the matrix equation H=(A<T>A)<-1>*A<T>L for each of the groups. This least square estimate is performed in several steps which reduce the number of calculations to be performed. The term A<T>A is the same for each group and can be computed once prior to computing the least square estimates. The A<T>L terms are calculated separately for each group. In the process of calculating the A<T>L term for each group, the A<T>L term calculated for the previous group can be reused to reduce the total number of calculations. Once the A<T>A and A<T>L terms are calculated, then the least square estimate for each group is determined. The least square estimate is then used to determine a noise estimate for each group. Again, mechanisms for reuse of certain calculations associated with the determination of the noise estimate that reduces the computational complexity associated therewith. Once the noise estimate is calculated for each group, the method determines which of the groups has the lowest valued noise estimate. That group, according to one exemplary embodiment, is chosen as the synchronization group. As an alternative, the group which has the greatest estimated signal-to-noise ratio can be selected as the synchronization group in this step. The least square estimate of the synchronization group is then identified as the channel estimate.

Title: A device unit for generating a reciprocating driving motion for driving movable machine elements
Inventor: RASMUSSEN ALFRED
IPC: B06B1/14
Filed: 2001-12-08
Abstract: The present invention concerns a drive unit for generating a reciprocating driving motion for driving movable machine elements in relation to fixed surroundings. In connection with the invention, it is relevant to speak of oscillatory motion, and in connection herewith vibrators. The invention is focused on the use of such resonance springs, and it is based on consideration of the fact that the effect of the these springs is also dependent on a reactive force, namely that the spring has a fixed, supported end part in relation to which the free end of the spring may move for performing the actual drive motion. By the invention it is realised that it is possible to minimise or to completely eliminate the reactive force on the fixed part by utilising an "opposed resonance system" which substitutes a fixed rear support of the active resonance spring and work in opposite phase to this with approximately corresponding resonance characteristic. The total device will depend on working with a co-ordinated opposed phase activation of the two systems, which is, however, easily achieved, e.g. by using an interposed vibrator or a driven rotating eccentric which via interposed connecting drive springs may transmit oppositely directed drive forces to the oscillating mass bodies.

Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A computer device having a system for simulating tactile control over a document includes a a velocity detector for determining a velocity vector associated with pointer movement across a display screen. In response to a command for dragging a document, the velocity vector is employed in redrawing the document in a series of pictures that portray the document as moving on the display screen such that a user may drag a document and then release the pointer from the document, whereupon either: the page continues to move in a direction established by the velocity detector until the user indicates that the document is to stop moving; or the velocity decreases by a page inertia until it reaches zero velocity. A method for providing interface tools for manipulating a document on a display provides a tool that allows the user to adjust the prominence of selected portions of a displayed content document file in a displayed screen document, the selected portions comprising links or highlighted text.

Title: In-line racing skate propulsion device
Inventor: GLASS DOUGLAS
IPC: A63C17/06
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: An in-line roller skate propulsion device comprising a lever and a wheel frame having a top, a bottom, a plurality of wheel axle holes near the bottom, a pivot connection near the top for pivotally connecting the lever to the wheel frame, and a hole and shaft combination for connecting a resilient member. The lever's pivot connection is located forward of the center of the lever. As the lever rotates around its pivotal connection to the wheel frame, the resilient member is stretched. Upon release of the rotating force, the resilient member returns the lever to a point of contact with the wheel frame or a stopping piece attached thereto. This action allows a skater to achieve greater speeds than with regular in-line roller skates while exerting the same amount of energy.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating x-ray or euv radiation
Inventor: HERTZ HANS
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for generating X-ray or EUV radiation, an electron beam is brought to interact with a propagating target jet, typically in a vacuum chamber. The target jet is formed by urging a liquid substance under pressure through an outlet opening. Hard X-ray radiation may be generated by converting the electron-beam energy to Bremsstrahlung and characteristic line emission, essentially without heating the jet to a plasma-forming temperature. Soft X-ray or EUV radiation may be generated by the electron beam heating the jet to a plasma-forming temperature.
