Patent EP-0973968-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PASIN MERIH
IPC: D06F35/00
Filed: 1997-12-30
Abstract: The present invention is related to a method providing an improvement of the washing performance for the washing machines with horizontally positioned tubs and drums by making the drum movements intermittent and with modulating oscillation. In the method according to the present invention, the rotations of any drum used for washing are realized as intermittent and with variable oscillations, the rotational speed of the said drum being increased or reduced with the desired acceleration rate that may be variable and this movement can be stopped at any desired angle thus obtaining the intended falling angles and heights at the desired cylces and by creating the desired velocity differences between water and clothes to be washed, as the result of these movements, the washing performance is improved by means of various drum movements. Said drum movements are realized by means of the washing programmes selected with regard to the type of textile to be washed. While washing wool, the requirement of keeping the material to be washed continuously in water is met using less water by keeping said drum movements between given limit values.

amount such as moving picture video signal data and
still picture video signal data on a recording media
(150) which can be accessed randomly, data can be

any time as in the tape image after the recording media
(150) was edited, a list is rearranged from a list of
latest recording order into a list of an arbitrary
reproduction order or a file is moved and set in a
different folder.

Abstract: A numerical control device for wire discharge machining equipped
with a taper machining correction feature is provided so that accurate
taper machining can be performed even when vertical displacement δ
occurs in the effective support positions P1 and P2 of the wire guides 1 and
2 due to rigidity of the wire electrode 3. Theoretical wire inclination angle
 is calculated based on horizontal wire movement command u, and
vertical displacement δ corresponding to the inclination angle  is
determined. Correction quantities necessary to eliminate displacement δ
are determined, based on displacement δ and inclination angle , and
correction quantities ε are distributively output to wire guides, thereby
causing wire inclination angle to coincide with command inclination angle .

Abstract: In a video server, multimedia data for a production is archived with data blocks for a video disk file and data blocks for audio disk files and data blocks for auxiliary disk files all intermixed together in a single tape file, in approximately the same order required for producing a multimedia data stream. During restoring of the production, as the disk files are being copied to disk storage systems from the tape file, the data may be retrieved from the same disk files and played as a multimedia data stream as soon as enough information is available in the files to form the stream. Disk files are striped across a multitude of disk files systems, by a commutator, and a multitude of input/output units share access to all the files in all the disk file systems, for example, using a periodically switching round robin scheme or more complex scheduling. Also, during restoration, the same input/output unit of the server that is copying the data from the tape file to the disk drive may be used to play a multimedia data stream for the production and simultaneously other input/output units of the server are able to play multimedia data streams for the same production from those portions of the disk files for the production that have already been restored.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de fabrication de lasers à émission par la surface et à cavité verticale accordable par microélectromécanique et sur des filtres Fabry-Perot accordables microélectromécaniquement et présentant une régulation précise de leurs dimensions latérales et verticales. Des films diélectriques, réfléchissants, tendus, sont appliqués sur une structure à plusieurs puits quantiques de façon à créer électroniquement une largeur de bande interdite dans les puits quantiques. Une déformation appropriée des couches du film diélectrique réfléchissant est utilisée également pour créer une courbure appropriée dans l'une des superpositions de films diélectriques réfléchissants de façon à former une cavité confocale entre une couche plane et la couche incurvée de film diélectrique réfléchissant du laser ou filtre à émission par la surface et à cavité verticale. L'invention porte également sur des lasers ou structures de filtration à émission par la surface et à cavité verticale accordable microélectromécaniquement qui comprennent une structure membranaire suspendue formée dans une membrane diélectrique/métallique ou un film métallique qui supporte une superposition de films diélectriques réfléchissants accordant la cavité tout en étant fixé sur le périmètre par des éléments de support métalliques. On obtient des dimensions précises des parties latérales et de la longueur de la cavité d'air en effectuant un micro-coulage sous pression d'un disque d'aluminium ou de polyimide sacrificiel micro-usiné. En outre, l'accord est réalisé par un mouvement de translation de la superposition de films diélectriques réfléchissants accordant la cavité dans un champ électrostatique régulé.

Abstract: The method involves exchanging data between at least two private branch exchange systems (10, 16) which both include a number plan, in which all subscribers of the private network, as well as the private branch exchange associated with each subscriber are stored. The data of a subscriber of the first private exchange (10) calling a subscriber of the second private exchange (16) are subdivided by a first converter (22) into usage data which contain usage information and connection construction information according to the number plan, into control data which contain information about the service features of both private exchange systems. The first converter determines addresses from the connection construction information, by which the usage data and the control information are transmitted to a destination in a computer network (14). A first switching unit (28) which is associated with the first private exchange, divides the usage data and control data into data packages, and opens a connection to the computer network. A second switching unit (14) which is associated with the second private exchange, receives the transmitted data packages and forwards them to a second converter (40) which is associated with the second private exchange. The second converter combines the usage data and the control data, and forwards them to the second private exchange for further processing.

Abstract: An advanced liquid cooling system with an
advanced cooling characteristic and high reliability,
which is small in size and light in weight, is provided.
In the liquid cooling system, heating units (2), which are
semiconductors, are fixed on a base (5) having high
thermal conductivity. A liquid-passage hole (7) in the
base (5) allows a liquid refrigerant (6) to pass through.
Since the base (5) is made of material with high thermal
conductivity, and the liquid-passage hole (7) extends in
the vicinity of the heating unit (2) in the base, it is
sufficient to transfer the heat of heating unit (2) to the
liquid refrigerant (6). This enables control of the
temperature rise of the heating unit to be maintained low.
