Patent EP-1394436-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANDO JUNJI
IPC: F16D27/112
Filed: 2003-08-28
Abstract: A drive power transmission device is disclosed having a drive mechanism for
transmitting a drive power between first and second rotary members rotatable relative
to each other, by the operation of an electromagnetic type clutch mechanism which
brings a friction clutch into connection. A magnetic path generated around an
electromagnet (33) of the electromagnetic type clutch mechanism includes a clutch
magnetic path (M) in which a magnetic flux passes to reciprocate plural times across the
friction clutch (32), and diamond-like carbon surface treatment is given on a part or all of the
friction contact surfaces of the friction clutch to form a hard amorphous carbon film
thereon. Thus, the transmission device can be constructed using a smaller number of
the outer and inner plates for the electromagnetic type clutch mechanism, so that it can
take a small construction with a longer durability life.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing apparatus for a carbon nanotube
including: at least two electrodes (11,12) whose tips are opposed to
each other; at least a power supply (18) that applies a voltage between
the two electrodes to generate discharge plasma in a discharge area
between the two electrodes; and at least a plurality of magnets (20-23)

having a component in parallel with a flowing direction of a discharge
current, in which a thermal shield wall (30) made of a non-magnetic
material is disposed between the magnets and the generation area of the
discharge plasma. Accordingly, an influence on the magnetic field due to
the heat generated from the discharge plasma can be suppressed, and a
high-purity carbon nanotube with excellent industrial efficiency can be
stably manufactured.

Abstract: A patient claim data processing system responds
to and initiates clinical events and attains early
accurate claim data during a patient healthcare encounter
cycle to support prompt claim data validation and editing
both for individual claim elements and for a completed
claim to improve claim accuracy prior to claim submission
to a payer. The system submits accurate claims to payers
and receives remittance advice from payers and applies
rules to the advice. A system processes financial data
related to provision of healthcare to a patient in
response to clinical events. The system includes an
interface processor for receiving a message identifying
an event (21) and a related change in healthcare data
concerning a patient and also includes a source of rules
(74) for determining characteristics associated with
reimbursement for provision of an individual service to a
patient. A rules processor initiates application of a
rule derived from the rules source to process financial
data concerning provision of the individual service to
the patient in response to receiving the message
identifying the event. A result processor initiates an
action in response to a result derived by the application
of the rule to process the financial data. The rules
processor also validates the financial data complies with
the rule.

Abstract: Stable single mode operation of an external cavity semiconductor laser is obtained
by a laser control method that monitors at least one optical beam which is generated by
reflection from a wavelength selective element (18) within the laser cavity. The method of the
present invention provides stable single mode operation and significantly decreases the

Abstract: A system and method for testing an application includes modules capable of reading data from one or more data tables and providing the data as input to the application. The input data is correlated by test case, so that each module may provide different input data for each test case. The system also includes a controller that executes the modules. The controller is capable of determining an execution order for the modules by reading a flow table. The flow table correlates each test case with one or more modules, and further correlates each module within the test case with an execution order. The system may read results that the application generates in response to the input data, and correlate the results with the test case and module in a results table. The results table may also contain expected results, and the system may compare the actual results with the expected results to determine whether the application is functioning properly.
