Title: Steam iron
IPC: D06F75/18
Filed: 1990-12-06
Abstract: In a steam iron (1) with a water reservoir (8), a steam chamber (10) with steam outlet openings (11) in the iron soleplate (2) and a first valve (9) which controls the water supply from the water reservoir (8) to the steam chamber (10), the water flow through the first valve (9) is controlled via the iron pressure force or the iorn movements by the iron soleplate (2) being displaceable in relation to the first valve (9) so that the pressure ram (23) opens the valve (9). As a result of this, steam is only produced when the iron (1) is moved to and fro on the article to be ironed with a given iron pressure force. Setting the iron (1) down in the vertical position is then no longer necessary to prevent unnecessary steam outlet. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0459947-A3 (EP)
Title: Bar tension sensor, for example for injection moulding machines
IPC: B30B15/00
Filed: 1991-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a bar tension sensor, preferably for cyclically operating production machines, such as for example for injection-moulding machines. 
<??>To monitor the clamping force during the injection operation, the tensile forces of the usually four tie bars (14) are continually and cyclically monitored. For this purpose, thin-disc force sensors (19) are fitted underneath the tie-bar tension nuts (13), the installation of which sensors requires no machining of the tie bars (14) or of the tension nuts (13), since they substitute standard shims and have virtually the same strength and flexibility values. The thin-disc force sensors (19) preferably operate on the piezoelectric principle on the basis of quartz crystals, ceramics or other crystals (24). In principle, the thin-disc force sensor (19) comprises a perforated metal disc (21), in which preferably a plurality of preassembled measuring elements (22) are fitted and are ground over with the metal disc (21) after they have been welded in. Consequently, the measuring elements (22) are parallel-connected in terms of force to the metal disc (21), in other words they measure a precisely defined component of the overall force. This component can also be increased by raising the measuring elements. For calibration of the overall system, a calibrating sensor (31) is fitted between the platens (33) and is connected to the measuring electronics (32). By displacing the calibrating sensor (31) into various positions 0-1-2-3-4, the accuracy of the machine settings can be checked, whereby optimum utilisation of the same is possible. The bar tension sensor according to the invention consequently permits continual quality control of the injection mouldings, as well as satisfactory monitoring of the machine installation. In addition, it can be fitted new or retrofitted.

Patent EP-0555987-A3 (EP)
Title: Optical torque sensors and steering systems for vehicles incorporating them
IPC: G01L3/12
Filed: 1993-02-03
Abstract: A torque sensor, or a relative angular movement 
sensor, comprises an LED light source (20) mounted in a 
fixed position relative to a housing (14) and shines 
light through an associated fixed collimator 
plate (21), the light being detected by a pair of 
detectors (28a and 28b) also mounted fixed relative to 
the housing (14). Two masks (24 and 26) pass between 
the source and the detector, one of the masks being 
fixed to an input shaft (2) of the steering system (1) 
and the other being connected to the output shaft (5). 
Each of the masks has a first and second aperture (39, 
39' and 40, 40') and the amount of light which is 
received by detectors (28a and 28b) depends upon the 
degree of overlap between associated pairs of apertures 
on the input and output masks. Signals from each of 
the detectors is fed to signal processing means (19) 
which divides the difference between the signals by 
their sum so as to provide a signal indicative of 
differential torque between the input and output 
shafts. This signal is substantially independent of 
the intensity of the light source which allows it to 
compensate for ageing effects in the light source. The 
signal also shows a positive value for turning of the 
input shaft in one direction and a negative value for 
turning the input shaft in the opposite direction. The 
torque sensor can be used to obtain the torque, 
relative change of steering angle, and steering angle 
itself, which can all be passed to a vehicle ride or 
braking control system.
Patent EP-0660232-A3 (EP)
Inventor: D SOUZA DAVID J
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1994-12-14
Abstract: A method and system for applying an appropriate object ownership model is
provided. In a preferred embodiment, an operating system selectively applies an object
ownership model with which running programs are compatible. This permits programs
designed to be used with operating systems that do not apply a rigorous object ownership
model to be used with an operating system capable of applying a rigorous object ownership
model. The method and system has both an automatic object deallocation phase and an
object access control phase. In the automatic deallocation control phase, the method and
system defers the automatic deallocation of objects owned by programs that are incompatible
with automatic object deallocation until a later time at which no such programs are still
running. Instead of immediately deallocating the objects owned by a terminating program,
the method and system designates them for deferred deallocation. At a later time, the method
and system checks to see whether any programs that are incompatible with automatic object
deallocation are still running, and, if none are, the method and system deallocates all objects
designated for deferred deallocation. In the object access control phase, the method and
system allows special permissive access to objects owned by programs that are unable to
authorize access to the object by other programs. Instead of denying access by a requesting
program to an object owned by a program that is unable to authorize access to the object by
other programs because it has not authorized any other programs to access the object, the
method and system allows the requesting program to access the object.

IPC: H01L33/06
Filed: 1996-03-14
Abstract: An emission layer (5) for a light source device is
formed to have a multi-layer structure, doped with an
acceptor and a donor impurity. The multi-layer structure
may include a quantum well (QW) structure or a multi
quantum well (MQW) structure (50). With such a structure,
a peak wavelength of the light source can be controlled,
because the distances between atoms of the acceptor and the
donor impurities are widened. Several arrangements can be
made by, e.g., altering the thickness of each composite
layer of the multi-layer structure, altering their
composition ratio, forming undoped layer 5 between the
impurity doped layers, and so forth. Further, luminous
intensity of ultra violet color can be improved, because
doping the donor impurity and the acceptor impurity
realizes a donor-acceptor emission mechanism and abundant
carriers. Several arrangements can be made by, e.g.
optimizing the materials of the composite layers,
optimizing their composition ratios, optimizing their
lattice constants, and so forth to further enhance the
luminous intensity of the light source.
