Patent EP-0866235-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MORELLI PETER ALAN
IPC: F16D1/08
Filed: 1993-06-04
Abstract: A shaft (44,144,145) is conventionally driveably connected to a bore (46,146)
by a steel key of rectangular cross-section. Where the shaft is of smaller
diameter than the bore, a slotted nylon sleeve is fitted between them and a tall
steel key extends through the slot. Failure of both standard and tall keys can
occur for various reasons. A unitary component (50,162,163) of suitable
plastics material or non-ferrous metal is therefore proposed. This component
essentially includes an integral key (56,174) of curved cross-section adapted
to engage in a mating keyway (176) formed in the bore. Where the shaft (44)
and bore (46) are nominally of the same diameter, the component (50)
consists also of an integral key (52) of rectangular cross-section adapted to
engage in the conventional keyway (48) in the shaft. Where the shaft
(144,145) is of smaller diameter than the bore (146), the component (162,163)
also includes a sleeve (164) with the key (174) of curved cross-section formed
on its outer periphery, and a keyway (170) of rectangular cross-section
formed in its inner periphery and adapted to be driveably connected by a
separate standard key (171) to the conventional keyway (148,149) in the
shaft. The component is useful in the flange-mounting of different electric
motors on off-the-shelf gear units.

Abstract: Cut sections 64-1 and 64-2 are provided in end sections of
a second edge 62 of a drain region 22. When a distance between
a first edge 60 of a source region 20 and the second edge 62 in
an intermediate area is defined as L1, a distance between the first
edge 60 and end edges 52-1 and 52-2 of a channel stopper non-implanted
region 50 is defined as L1, a relation of L2≧L1 is
established. By providing the channel stopper non-implanted
region 50, the ESD protection capability is improved. Also, by
providing the cut sections 64-1 and 64-2 in a manner to satisfy
the relation of L2≧L1, leak current is reduced. The source region
20 may also be provided with a cut section. A contacts or a metal
silicide layer in the drain region 22 is provided in an
intermediate area being interior with respect to boarders between
the intermediate area and the respective end sections of the second
edge 62. The present invention is also applicable to a lateral

Abstract: An apparatus for reading chip cards includes a housing and
a printed circuit board and a card reader within this housing.
In operation, a chip card is inserted into the housing
through a slot and is read by the card reader. The card
reader transmits the information from the chip card to the
printed circuit board for further processing. It happens
that a flat article like a knife is inserted into the slot

Abstract: The alarm apparatus includes a first indicator (31) disposed on a front center console
inside the vehicle, a second indicator (32) located in front of the driver, e.g. on the
windshield, a radar unit (1), a vehicle speed sensor (6), and a controller (2). In
operation, when the distance between the vehicle and one ahead is less than a first alarm
distance, the first indicator (31) is activated to display a warning. Further, if the inter-vehicle
distance becomes less than a second alarm distance, smaller than the first alarm
distance, the second indicator (32) is activated to display a warning. Even if the driver
does not gaze ahead but looks down towards the center console it is possible for the
driver to see the first indicator (31), which is inevitably activated more often than the
second indicator (32), thereafter to shift his eyes ahead, and finally to brake the vehicle

Abstract: An air compressor of sliding vane eccentric rotor type includes a stator, which
includes an inlet and an outlet and defines a substantially cylindrical bore, and a
rotor eccentrically rotatably mounted in the bore. The rotor is connected to be
rotated by a three-phase asynchronous electric motor (2) of pole amplitude
modulated type which is switchable between low speed six pole operation and
high speed four pole operation under the control of a controller (4). A pressure
sensor communicates with the compressor outlet and is connected to the
controller which is arranged to produce a first signal when the compressor
discharge pressure falls below a first threshold value and a second signal when
this pressure rises above a second threshold value. Each of the three electrical
power supply lines (6) of the motor is associated with a respective impedance
(10), which is connected in parallel with a shunt path including a respective
switching means (8), which is switchable under the control of the controller,
whereby when the switching means (8) is closed the impedance (10) is shunted
and is effectively switched out of the associated power line (6) and when the
switching means (8) is open the shunt path is interrupted and the impedance
(10) is effectively switched into the power supply line. The controller is
arranged so that when the compressor is operating at low speed and the first
signal is produced the motor is switched to operate at high speed and when the
compressor is operating and high speed and the second signal is produced the
compressor is switched to operate at low speed. The controller is also arranged
so that when the compressor is switched on or switched between high and low 
speeds the impedances (10) are switched into the power lines (6) for a
predetermined period of time and are switched out of the power lines at all other
times.

Abstract: A method for heat treatment of a silicon wafer in a
reducing atmosphere through use of a rapid thermal annealer
(RTA) is provided. In the method, the silicon wafer is heat-treated
at a temperature of 1150°C to 1300°C for 1 see to 60
see in a mixture gas atmosphere of hydrogen and argon.
Hydrogen is present in the mixture gas atmosphere in an
amount of 10% to 80% by volume. Hydrogen is preferably
present in the mixture gas atmosphere in an amount of 20%
to 40% by volume. The method decreases COP density on the
surface of the silicon wafer to thereby improve electrical
characteristics, such as TZDB and TDDB, of the silicon wafer,
suppresses the generation of slip dislocation to thereby
prevent wafer breakage, and utilizes intrinsic advantages of
the RTA, such as improvement in productivity and reduction
in hydrogen gas usage.

Abstract: A compact power supply apparatus is favorable for a reduction in size of a
mobile communication terminal having a receiver and baseband signal processor (30),
a transmitter (42) and a power amplifier (44). The power supply apparatus includes a DC/DC (20)
converter for converting a DC voltage from a battery. In a reception mode of the
mobile communication terminal, the power supply apparatus regulates the DC
voltage converted by the DC/DC converter and supplies the regulated DC voltage
to the receiver and baseband signal processor. In a transmission mode, the power
supply apparatus converts the DC voltage converted by the DC/DC converter to a
DC voltage corresponding to a transmission AGC (Automatic Gain Control) voltage
determined depending on a transmission power and supplies the converted DC
voltage to the receiver and baseband signal processor, the transmitter and the power
amplifier. Since the power supply apparatus uses a single DC/DC converter and
adaptively varies the output voltage of the DC/DC converter according to the
transmission power in the transmission mode, it is favorable for a reduction in size
of the mobile communication terminal and for a reduction in power loss of the
voltage regulators and the power amplifier, thereby maximizing the power
effciency and extending the battery life.
