Abstract: A roof member (101) comprises a solar battery module
in which a solar battery element (102) is fixed on a backing,
wherein two opposite sides of the backing of the solar
battery module are bent to form an eaves-side
connecting portion (106a) and a ridge-side connecting portion (106b),
wherein the ridge-side connecting portion is open on
the front surface side of roof member, and wherein
electrical wiring is given in the ridge-side connecting
portion. 
     A plurality of such roof members are
horizontally connected with each other by joint drip
plate and joint cover and wires of the respective roof
members are connected with each other in the ridge-side
connecting portion. The eaves-side connecting portion
and the ridge-side connecting portion of the respective
roof members are seam-jointed with each other and wires
of the respective roof members are connected with each
other in the ridge-side connecting portion.
Particularly, a feature is that an opening of the
ridge-side connecting portion is covered by a ridge-side
connecting portion cover. 
     The above arrangements provide combination
solar battery and roof members being excellent in
flashing, strength, and appearance and permitting
electric wiring work to be carried out readily after
fixation of roof member.

Title: A multipositional resealable vial connector assembly for efficient transfer of liquid
Inventor: THIBAULT JEAN CLAUDE
IPC: A61J1/20
Filed: 1997-09-15
Abstract: A connector assembly (10) is provided for efficient flow of liquid into and/or out of a vial (12) such as a vial containing a lyophilized drug. The connector assembly includes a spike (62) slidably mounted in the open top of the vial (12). The connector assembly further includes a stopper (44) sealingly engaged in the open top of the vial and slidably moveable in response to the axially movement of the spike. Thus, movement of the spike (62) relative to the vial (12) will move the stopper into or out of sealing engagement with the vial. The connector assembly further includes a spring (78) for generating a small amount of axial movement of the spike after the stopper has been moved into the opened position in the vial. Movement of the spike (62) generated by the spring (78) will cause a sufficient change in pressure to overcome surface tension and initiate an efficient flow of fluid into or out of the vial (12).

Abstract: In an electromagnetic switch (5) for a starter (1), a
plunger (39) is housed to face a grounding plate (37) through
an air gap (G) in the inner circumference of an attraction coil
(38). When the attraction coil (38) is energized and magnetic
flux flows in the magnetic circuit, the plunger (39) is attracted
toward the grounding plate (37) by the magnetic force. The
plunger (39) has a hollow recess (39a) as a variable magnetic
resistance member at its bottom end which is opposite to the
air gap (G). The hollow recess (39a) extends inwardly from the
bottom surface of the plunger (39) by a predetermined length
and is closed by a plug body (39b) fitted in the opening to have
a closed hollow space. The variable magnetic resistance member
may be provided by a reduced diameter part (39c) in place of
or in combination with the hollow recess (39a).

Abstract: The method involves using a digital filter, whose filter coefficients are calculated through a Normalised-Least-Mean-Square algorithm, in transmission systems, in which an undesirable coupling occurs between a signal in a reception direction and a signal in a transmission direction. The set of filter coefficients are compared with an envelope graph, an error size is determined from the deviation of the filter coefficients from values determined by the envelope graph, and only that set of filter coefficients is used for adjusting the digital filter, for which the error size lies under a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and a method for
converting instructions of a code A to instructions of a code
B. Said conversion is performed by obtaining rearrangement
information, which corresponds to the instruction that is to
be converted, from a table. Said rearrangement information is
then used to rearrange the instruction elements of the
initial instruction, in order to generate instructions of
code B, which functionally corresponds to said initial
instruction. 
     Said rearrangement can be performed by multiplexing means,
which use said instruction elements of the initial code A
instruction as input, and which select one of said
instruction elements, or the content of another register, and
forward this selected data to the instruction that is to be
generated. Said rearrangement information is directly used to
control the selection performed by said multiplexers.

Abstract: A collaboration system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. These capabilities are achieved by exploiting a variety of hardware, software and networking technologies in a manner that preserves the quality and integrity of audio/video/data and other multimedia information, even after wide area transmission, and at a significantly reduced networking cost as compared to what would be required by presently known approaches. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.
