Patent EP-0561544-A3 (EP)
IPC: G03G21/18
Filed: 1993-03-09
Abstract: An electro-photography, such as a copier 
or laser printer, has a photosensitive belt (4) for 
transporting toner. The photosensitive belt (4) is 
mounted in a cartridge (2), and the cartridge (2) is 
removably mounted in a holder (11). The holder (11) is 
insertable into and withdrawable from the main body (1) 
of the apparatus. Therefore, when the photosensitive 
belt (4) has reached the end of its useful life, the 
holder (11) is withdrawn and the cartridge (2) removed. 
A new cartridge (2), and hence a new photosensitive belt 
(4), may then be mounted in the holder (11) and the 
holder (11) inserted into the main body (1) of the 
apparatus. To prevent surfaces of the cartridge (2) 
and/or holder (11) from becoming contaminated with 
toner, a gap (17) is formed therebetween , and the holder 
(11) has an air inlet (11b) and an air outlet. Thus, 
air is caused to flow between the opposed surfaces of 
the holder (11) and the cartridge (2) to entrain any 
toner and remove such toner from the interior of the 
holder (11).

Each contact socket (15) is fixed in and/or on the electrical conductor (SL) by means of a contact tab (6) and, in so doing, the contact socket pair (5) of each plug socket (3) is fixed, corresponding to its installation position, in or transversely or diagonally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the electrical conductors (SL) located on the same, by plugging, riveting, screwing or spot-welding. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0708224-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NAGASAKU SHIGEO
IPC: F16L15/00
Filed: 1995-10-17
Abstract: A thread joint for a tube which suppresses galling
without deteriorating its sealing performance since a
sliding distance L S  which expresses a quantity of spiral
sliding of sealing portions relative to each other during a
tightening period from the start of a contact between the
sealing portions until shoulder portions abut each other
satisfies the following relationship:
 Sliding Distance L S  ≦ - 0.0093 × (Tube Outer
Diameter) 2  + 4.73 × (Tube Outer Diameter).   
     To shorten the sliding distance L S , the sealing portion
of a box portion is formed shorter than the sealing portion
of a pin portion. In this case, a circumferential groove
may be formed to discharge a dope. Conversely, the sealing
portion of the pin portion is formed shorter than the
sealing portion of the box portion. In this case, a
precedent-stage unthread portion whose inclination is
smaller than that of the sealing portion of the pin portion
is formed between a male thread and the sealing portion of
the pin portion. In addition, tapers of the sealing
portions of the pin portion and the box portion are set at
1/6 or larger, and/or, a distance where the sealing portion
of the box portion (pin portion) is formed so as to contact
a curve which is tangent to the sealing portion of the pin 
portion (box portion) is 1.45mm or larger.

IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 1996-01-18
Abstract: In an apparatus for ultrasonic diagnosis, an
autocorrelation calculator 11 produces Doppler power
data P, a shading portion extractor 21 extracts the
left-side section of the profile of the ultrasonic image
from the Doppler power data P, and a data value
converter 22 converts the data value of the extracted
shading portion into the data value for shading and
converts the data values of remaining portions into a
data value different from the data value for shading.
The shaded ultrasonic image is visualized as a three-dimensional
image so as to facilitate the diagnosis.
Particularly, in ultrasonic images of Doppler power
mode, blood vessels are visualized as three-dimensional
images, and the viewer can identify even small blood
vessels accurately.
Patent EP-0729900-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SORNAY JEAN DENIS
IPC: B65D77/20
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: The invention refers to an improved packaging method comprising the
following steps :
   (a) providing a tray with heat-sealable rims   (b) loading said tray with the product to be packaged   (c) applying a lid on top of said tray, the contacting surfaces of the tray
rims and of the lid web being of materials which can be heat bonded
to each other to effect sealing of the packaging, and   (d) heat-sealing said lid to the tray rims, optionally with a modified
atmosphere between said lid and said tray,  
wherein the improvement consists in the use, as the tray lidding, of a bi-axially
oriented heat-shrinkable film that is characterized by a maximum
shrink force, at the temperature that is attained in the area of the lid-sealing
station, not higher than 0.05 kg/cm in at least the transversal
direction. 
     The improved method will provide a better appearance to the
package and allow a better visual inspection of the package content
from the outside because thinner material (as thin as 10-15 µ) with better
optical properties can be used, the sealed lid will be kept tight on top of
the tray, and no distortion of the tray will occur. This will also reduce the
amount of plastics waste to be disposed of. By using bi-axially oriented
heat-shrinkable films having, at the temperature that is attained in the
area of the lid-sealing station, a free shrink of at least 10 %, and preferably
of at least 15 %, the presence of undesired floppy borders will also be
avoided. 
     The invention also comprises the thus obtained package.
