Abstract: The fitting consists of two blocks (2, 3) which are basically trapezoid in shape, each made with an oblique slot to receive one of the edges of the mudguard (1), through holes for radial supporting rods (6), and a hole for a fixing (7) such as a self-tapping screw. The screw (7) is designed to pass through a hole in the edge of the mudguard to engage with sections of the block on each side of the slot. In a variant of the design each of the blocks has a tooth on the inner surface of its slot to engage with a recess in the mudguard, obviating the need for a fixing screw. The blocks can be made from metal or an elastically-deformable plastics material which engages with the radial rods by friction.

Abstract: A mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber for use as a material for a negative electrode of a secondary battery, and a process for producing the same. The mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber comprises a columnar core part having a texture composed of a plurality of graphite layers extending along an axial direction and extending with minute flexures in a plane perpendicular to the axis and an outer-shell part surrounding the core part. The outer-shell part has a texture composed of a laminate of a plurality of graphite layers extending along an axial direction. The graphite layers are oriented in a plane perpendicular to the axis in a fashion such that the graphite layers extend along a circumferential direction with minute flexures while gradually receding from a center of the core part. In the carbon fiber, the graphite layers composing the outer-shell part have a laminate face forming a surface of the outer-shell part, channels permitting entry and exit of lithium ions being formed between graphite layers at the laminate face.

Abstract: Optical surge preventing systems and methods for rare earth-doped optical fiber amplifiers are disclosed. The systems are so arranged as to cause any signal exist in a doped fiber section so as not to excite too much the rare earth elements in the doped fiber section. In one embodiment, a background signal light with such a wavelength as to cause induced emission in the doped fiber section is always coupled into the doped fiber section regardless of whether a message signal light exists or not. The background signal light may be generated by any suitable light source or a light spontaneously emitted from either end of the doped fiber section. In another embodiment, a dummy signal light is coupled into the doped fiber section if the level of the message signal light becomes less than a predetermined value. Coupling of the background signal light or the dummy signal light into the doped fiber section may be done from either of the message signal input and output sides.

La cellule de mémoire de niveau haut détecte la différence entre le courant d'entrée et la sortie de la mémoire de niveau bas (CM) à la phase ζ1b du signal d'horloge. Un commutateur (S5), qui est fermé à la phase ζ2 du signal d'horloge, passe les sorties combinées des mémoires de niveau bas (CM) et de niveau haut (FM) à une sortie (2). Une résistance rs est prévue avec une valeur de résistance électrique égale à la valeur de la résistance électrique du commutateur de sortie (S5) quand il est activé.

Abstract: The present invention includes an adaptive filter (40) for use within an echo canceler. The adaptive filter operates in a first mode for performing Decimation Echo Location (DEL). During the DEL mode, high energy regions occurring within the echo impulse response are identified over an extended time range through signal decimation. The adaptive filter then operates in a second mode for performing Partitioned Echo Cancellation (PEC). During the PEC mode, filter coefficients not associated with these high energy regions are modeled as zero while the identified high energy region filter coefficients of the impulse response are partitioned and convolution of the reference signal, x(n), with the impulse response signal, h(n), is accomplished by performing convolution on only those samples in the reference signal memory block (50) that correspond to respective high energy region filter coefficients in the adaptive filter block (56) . Accordingly, the adaptive filter of the present invention extends the tail length time range of conventional adaptive filters while not increasing the number of required filter coefficient taps and substantially reduces the number of convolution multiply accumulate operations and coefficient update calculations required for performing echo cancellation over the extended time range.

The locking lug can consist of a rounded tongue, while the inner side lugs can be of a different shape to this, particularly with a transverse straight sealing edge (38).

Abstract: Contents of each of nodes indicating a plurality of hyper-text
documents are prepared and revised in a node managing
unit as node information. A connection-relationship between
two nodes is established and revised for each of the nodes in
a hierarchy structure managing unit as hierarchy structure
information, and a hierarchy structure of the nodes is
established. In this hierarchy structure, one node ranked to
the top level is set as a parent node, and the other nodes are
set to child nodes. Thereafter, a plurality of hyper-text
documents arranged in the hierarchy structure are prepared
from the node information and the hierarchy structure
information. Therefore, because the contents of each node is
managed in dependence of the preparation of the hierarchy
structure, the hyper-text documents arranged in the hierarchy

Abstract: A card reader includes a card insertion slot through which a card is inserted, a card
transferring device which transfers the inserted card from the insertion slot along a card driving
path, and a reading device along one point of the path for reading data stored on the card. The
card may be a magnetic card having one or more magnetic strips thereon or an IC card having an
IC terminal thereon. The card reader also includes a pressing mechanism disposed between the
card insertion slot and the reading device which presses against one edge of the card so that the
opposite edge of the card is pressed against a card driving reference plane. The pressing
mechanism corrects the card position within in a relatively short distance thereby allowing the
card driving path to be relatively short.. The card reader also may include an IC contact block for
making contact with the IC terminal on an inserted IC card, and a contact block moving device
which moves the IC contact block towards and away from the IC card, and wherein both the card
transferring device and the contact block moving device are driven by the same motor, and
differences in load torque is utilized therebetween to determine how the drive force is distributed.
The card reader further may include a biasing mechanism that forces two opposing read heads
towards one another, each read head operably reading a respective magnetic strip on the two
surfaces of the inserted card, and a movement limiting mechanism limits movement of the read
heads in a particular manner such that the read heads are forced to a neutral, central position
when a card is not inserted in the card reader. The movement limiting mechanism advantageously 
allows for the use of read heads that follow the curvature of a bent or otherwise deformed card,
but then corrects the positions of the read heads when the deformed card is removed.

Abstract: Known is a cordless telephone system in which handsets can adopt a power down mode so as to save power. When in power down mode, the handset should remain synchronized to the base station. An efficient and accurate synchronization and timing error correction mechanism is proposed. The handset accumulates a phase error between periods of expected wake-up so as to synchronize to the base station and to check whether there are incoming calls, i.e., whether there are relevant paging messages. Before an expected next paging message the handset counts down the accumulated phase error over a number of frames and controls a prescaler between the handset's crystal clock and the handset's timing means such that the accumulated timing error is compensated.
