Patent EP-0925834-A1 (EP)
Title: Paper shredder with switch-off retardation
Inventor: SCHWELLING HERMANN
IPC: B02C18/00
Filed: 1998-12-19
Abstract: The paper shredder switches on automatically when a sheet of paper is inserted into the slot. A diagonal notched area (6,6a) is positioned between a drive (4) and cutting unit (1). The hub (7) of a sprocket (5) can be moved along the axle (8) causing the sprocket to move towards an outer bearing plate (11). A return spring (9) is attached to the axle between the hub and bearing plate. To avoid paper strips to be caught inside the cutting unit, a control element (10,10a) positioned adjacent to the drive keeps the cutting units moving until all paper shreds have left the device.

Abstract: A DC high voltage generator comprising an AC power
supply, an AC-DC rectifier, as well as means for
stabilising said DC high voltage generator against load
variations, wherein said stabilising means stabilise
said DC high voltage generator by using at least two
electro-magnetically coupled resonant circuits
compensating each others load variation dependency at an
operating frequency in such a way that the output
voltage is essentially constant. The current invention
further allows for zero voltage switching of the high
frequency switching power converter, being the AC power
supply, thereby virtually eliminating switching losses.

Inventor: HUTCHINSON DEREK
IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: A photoelectric measurement is made by charging (or discharging) a
capacitor at a charge rate dependent on the intensity of the light received by a
sensor. The time taken for the charge level to change by a predetermined
amount is measured, and the operation is repeated, with the time intervals
being accumulated, for a number of times, the number being dependent on the
charge rate, so as to enhance resolution of high-intensity measurements. A
single comparator is used to detect when the charge level passes through a
first level, to initiate the timing, and through a second level, to stop the
timing, by altering the threshold level so as to avoid errors due to varying
propagation delays.

Abstract: If a terminal (MOB_T) receives an incoming call and this receiving
terminal (MOB_T) is not suitable to handle this incoming call, the receiving
terminal (MOB_T) detects the service type of the incoming call, and notifies this
service type to a destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH). The
destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH) registers the presence

upon receipt of the service type of the incoming call selects the most suitable
terminal (FAX_T) within the area of the receiving terminal (MOB_T) to handle the
call. The destination terminal selecting arrangement (PRES_GATH) thereupon
notifies the address of this most suitable terminal (FAX_T) to the receiving
terminal (MOB_T) so that the receiving terminal (MOB_T) can forward the
incoming call to the most suitable terminal (FAX_T).

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un procédé de remplissage de cellule à cristaux liquide à dispersion polymère (PDLC) et à un mélange polymérisable se prêtant à cette fin ainsi qu'à un dispositif afficheur renfermant ladite cellule. Le mélange susmentionné comporte deux types de monomères non volatils réactifs, le premier étant facilement miscible avec un matériau cristallin liquide et le second ne l'étant que faiblement. De plus, lorsqu'on utilise dans des cellules ces mélanges se révèlent très stables, il ne survient aucune problème lié à une dérive d'ordre compositionnel. Les cellules avec lesquelles on a utilisé le mélange selon l'invention ne font montre que d'une faible hystérésis et ont une tension d'interruption relativement peu élevée. Il est de ce fait des plus avantageux de les utiliser dans un dispositif d'affichage.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for performing XOR operations without consuming substantial computing resources. A specialised processor is coupled to the same bus as a set of disk drives; the specialized processor reviews data transfers to and from the disk drives and performs XOR operations on data transferred to and from the disk drives without requiring separate transfers. The specialised processor maintains an XOR accumulator which is used for XOR operations, which records the result of XOR operations, and which is read out upon command of the processor. The XOR accumulator includes one set of accumulator registers for each RAID stripe, for a selected set of RAID stripes. A memory (such as a contents-addressable memory) associates one set of accumulator registers with each selected RAID stripe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to the structure of coils that can be used for
transformers and choke coils. The objective of the present invention is to
obtain coils that show little iron loss and a small decrease in inductance due
to an increase in electric current. 
     The structure is a coil comprising a ring-like core (2) made of amorphous
or microcrystalline metal on the surface of which at least one bar core (5)
whose length is longer than the inside diameter of the aforesaid ring-like
core is placed and fixed as shown in Fig. 1, with the aforesaid bar core wound
with an electrically conductive material (6) - particularly a coil comprising at
least two ring-like cores (2, 2) between the surfaces of which at least one bar
core (3) whose length is longer than the inside diameter of the aforesaid
ring-like core is inserted and fixed, with the aforesaid bar core wound with
an electrically conductive material (5). 
     Furthermore, the coil of the present invention can be fabricated with
great ease compared with the conventional coils with a ring-like core wound
with copper wire, such as toroidal coils. The coil of the present invention
also shows less iron loss than the conventional coils using cut cores and
toroidal cores, and therefore offers the excellent advantages of being able to
save energy and showing a small decrease in inductance due to an increase
in electric current. Because of this, the coil of the present invention can be
utilized for a wide range of applications, such as transformers and choke
coils.

Lorsque les surfaces extérieures du tube sont nettoyées, ce dernier est introduit dans une gaine pourvue d'un raccord, ce qui crée un joint étanche à la pression entre le tube et la gaine. La Figure illustre schématiquement un appareil permettant de nettoyer les parois intérieures et extérieures d'un tube à endoscopie: le compresseur (100) fait circuler de l'air dans le conduit (102) entre une buse (104) de régulation des pulsations et une chambre de mélange (106), l'écoulement d'air étant commandé par le régulateur (108) de pression.
