Title: Venetian blind for non-rectangular window or other opening has slats parallel to top edge of window, with bottom slats shorter, to fit bottom edge of window and connected to extensible end rail
IPC: E06B9/26
Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2003-03-25
Abstract: The blind is shaped to fit the shape of the window and has slats running parallel to the top edge of the window. The bottom slats are shorter, to fit the bottom edge of the window, and are connected to an extensible end rail (3), which is horizontal when the blind is lowered. Vertical pulling organs (7,8) engage the end rail and can be rolled around winding elements (9,10) at the top edge of the window.  The winding elements are connected by a shaft arrangement that is operated by a drive unit. The winding elements are driven uniformly without offset. The pulling organs are uniformly rolled on each winding element, so that the same amount length of coil is wound up when the blind is raised. Each pulling organ offset from the pulling organ assigned to the highest winding element is coiled and uncoiled from the winding element by pivoting the end rail between an inclined position parallel to the slats and the horizontal end position to form a loose spare loop (15) or coil (15a) in the area between the winding element and the guiding of the pulling organ. The length of the spare loop or coil corresponds to the difference in height between the winding elements.

Granted: 2003-01-27
Abstract: A method of setting pre-stressing, by which blades ( 11 ) of a granulating head carried by a shaft ( 12 ) which is driven by a motor ( 21 ) and which is displaceable in the axial direction of a granulating device abut against the perforated plate ( 8 ), makes use of the torque of the motor ( 21 ) for the said setting. To this end, the shaft ( 12 ) is adjusted at a constant speed in both axial directions in succession, the pattern of the torque M of the motor ( 21 ) being recorded over the displacement path x of the shaft ( 12 ) for both directions. The differential <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>is formed from this and the position x<SUB>0 </SUB>of the shaft is then determined for <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>=0. Starting from the said position x<SUB>0 </SUB>a position x=x<SUB>0</SUB>+x<SUB>z </SUB>of the shaft ( 12 ) is set, in which x<SUB>z </SUB>represents the desired advance of the shaft ( 12 ) in the direction towards the perforated plate ( 8 ). The device for carrying out this method provides for a sensing device ( 66 ) for the time pattern of the torque M of the motor ( 21 ). The output signal of the said sensing device ( 66 ) influences an actuating drive ( 75 ) for the displacement of the shaft ( 12 ). In addition, a device ( 69 ) for forming the differential <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>is provided, as well as a device ( 70 ) for determining the position x<SUB>0 </SUB>of the shaft ( 12 ) for <SUP>dM</SUP>/<SUB>dx </SUB>=0. The said two devices are connected to the actuating drive ( 75 ).

Abstract: A mirror assembly (200) of micron dimensions for use in deflecting a beam of light. The mirror assembly includes a planar base (301) and a planar mirror (220) spaced apart from the planar base and disposed generally parallel to the planar base. The planar mirror has first and second end portions (220a, 220b) and a longitudinal axis (303) extending between the first and second end portions. First and second torsional members (306, 307) extend along the longitudinal axis and are connected to the respective first and second end portions for permitting the mirror to rock between first and second positions about the longitudinal axis relative to the planar base. The first and second torsional members are secured to the planar base. At least a portion of the mirror is made from a conductive material. First and second spaced-apart electrodes (322, 323) are carried by the planar base for driving the mirror between the first and second positions. A tether member (431) extends transversely of the longitudinal axis and is secured to the first torsional member and to the planar base. The tether member regulates the rocking of the mirror.

Title: Apparatus and methods for block encoding data
Inventor: LARKIN ROBERT
IPC: H03M13/13
Filed: 2001-09-12
Granted: 2004-07-21
Abstract: A block encoding apparatus for encoding TFCI information in a 3G UMTS network comprises a counter 4 which counts through a binary sequence having a bit width of less than the total bit width of the unencoded word, an AND gate 2 for ANDing the counter values with a predetermined subset of bits of the unencoded word, and an XOR gate 6 for performing a modulo 2 operation on the result. The output from the XOR gate is stored in a buffer 8 in a bit position which bears a predetermined mapped relationship with the counter value. The apparatus provides an output code word from the buffer when the counter has counted through a sequence having a number of values at least equal to the bit width of the code word. The TECI code words provide receivers with information concerning transport formats within slots. The technique may be used to produce Reed-Muller (RM) encoding of considerably reduced complexity.

Title: Optically readable label and encoding process therefor
Inventor: CHANDLER DONALD GORDON
IPC: G06K7/00

Granted: 1992-10-28
Abstract: An optically readable label (30) stores encoded information in the form of a data array of a multiplicity of information-encoded hexagons (20) contiguously arranged in a honeycomb pattern, and having at least two different optical properties (e.g. black and white). A process for encoding information in the optically-readable data array comprised of a honeycomb of contiguous hexagons (20) encoded by assigning optical properties to individual hexagons in a predetermined pattern consists of ordering the hexagons (20) in a predetermined sequence, and printing the hexagons (20) with at least two optical properties (e.g. black and white). A process for retrieving information by optically scanning the information-encoded data array of contiguous polygons, preferably hexagons (20), comprises creating an optical replica of the digital bit stream representative of the optical properties of the information encoded polygons, decoding that optical replica and retrieving the decoded bit stream.

Granted: 1994-09-28
Abstract: Contact of acid or alkaline cleaned aluminum surfaces, particularly cans, with a water based composition containing a combination of (i) alkoxylated phosphate esters, (ii) ions of aluminum, zirconium, iron, tin, and/or cerium, (iii) a metal etching component, and (iv) a combination of alkoxylated alcohol and alkoxylated alkyl phenol emulsifiers, gives the surface after drying lowered surface friction without loss of high quality printability and lacquer adhesion and removes any brown spotting on the cans that may have developed during the cleaning or post-cleaning rinses. The cans after treatment are substantially free from any water breaks when rinsed with water. The foaming resistance and storage stability of the water based composition as described above, and of other similar surface friction reducing treatments for aluminum containers, may be advantageously increased by adding a biocidal agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide, and a combination of liquid paraffin, solid wax, and a high molecular weight fatty acid derivative(s) as antifoam agent.

Abstract: In a synchronous digital communications system a network of SDH (or SONET) equipments (SE) are arranged to exchange synchronisation signals via ports on the SEs, each port being allocated a source identifier (SID). These SIDs are used to identify the source of each synchronisation signal input at a particular SE. When the SE selects a synchronisation signal to transmit out of its ports, the SID associated with that selected signal is compared with the SID of each port. If a match is found the synchronisation status message (SSM) associated with the synchronisation signal sent out at that port is set to "Do Not Use" (DNU) to warn the destination SE that the synchronisation signal has been looped back. Each SE is allocated a unique equipment identifier. The SID of each port is set to the unique SE identifier of the SE to which it is directly connected. <IMAGE>
