Patent JP-S622434-B2 (JP)
IPC: H01R12/89
Filed: 1984-01-18
Abstract: The invention is a zero insertion force printed circuit board edge connector that ensures electrical connection under a worst-case accumulation of mechanical tolerances while precluding the short circuiting of connector contact pins in the absence of a board within the connector. The contact pins of the connector are formed so that the contact regions of the contact pins lie in at least two horizontal planes. The longer pins located on one side of the connector are located opposite the shorter pins on the other side of the connector. When the connector is actuated in the absence of a printed circuit board, the short pins will move under the opposing long pins but the pins will not short circuit. During actuation, the pins will move more than half way across the connector opening thereby guaranteeing connection to any card regardless of dimensional tolerance or of card position within the connector opening.
Patent JP-S6046978-B2 (JP)
IPC: A61F6/14
Filed: 1984-01-20
Abstract: The device, intended for insertion by means of a tube, comprises a supporting part having two branches attached to the front end in such a way that they spring apart when the device is pushed out of the tube into the uterus. At the end of each branch is a spherical occluding member, and at the rearward end of the supporting part is an eye through which a thread is looped. In order to achieve gentle sealing solely of the mouths of the Fallopian tubes, as well as to reduce production costs, the occluding members are of soft material and are flexibly connected to the associated branches, while the supporting part and the branches are made in one piece of a resilient but comparatively stiff material.

Title: Apparatus for driving an oscillating spout
Inventor: LEGILLE EDOUARD
IPC: C21B7/20
Filed: 1983-05-31
Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: A driving apparatus for an oscillating spout is presented which includes a control mechanism which directs a control arm to perform the movement required by the spout and a transmission device which acts to transmit the control arm movement and reproduce it as spout movement. The control mechanism consists of a driving rod pivotally connected to an intermediate lever arm and a novel universal joint connecting the lever arm to the control arm. The universal joint enables the spout to be moved in and out of a vertical orientation by prohibiting the components of the control mechanism from becoming axially locked in a 180 DEG  angle.

Title: Packaging groups of items in a film
Inventor: KOVACS LLOYD
IPC: B65B9/073
Filed: 1995-01-06
Granted: 1998-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus for enveloping successive groups of items in a plastic film as the items traverse a linear path. Items are gathered in a group, and the group of items is then inserted in a tubular packaging film as the items and the film are conveyed at the same linear velocity. After the items are completely enveloped in the film, the film is severed and sealed to fully encapsulate them in the film. A vacuum is used to eliminate excess air generated within the tube, and also, in one form of the invention, form side gussets as sealing dies are closed. A tight package made at speeds results, with no need for any holes in the film to relieve internal air pressure.

Title: Power supply
Inventor: SCOTT MARK ALASTAIR
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1988-05-10
Granted: 1991-01-03
Abstract: Arc discharge lamps driven at frequencies in excess of 20kHz may exhibit the phenomenon of 'acoustic resonance' in which longitudinal and lateral acoustic waves are supported in the arc tube. This is a problem because the acoustic wave may give rise to an instability in the discharge arc, causing it to stretch or gyrate and invariably to extinguish. In some cases damage may be caused to the arc tube. A power supply suitable for an arc discharge lamp (1) comprises a drive circuit (10) arranged to supply voltage to the lamp (1) and control means (20) for causing a characteristic of the voltage to vary, with time, in accordance with a pseudo random sequence in order to reduce, or eliminate, acoustic resonance in the lamp (1).

Filed: 1983-07-22
Granted: 1987-08-06
Abstract: process of producing a fibre-reinforced composition comprising drawing a plurality of continuous filaments through a melt comprising a mixture of a thermoplastic polymer and a plasticiser for the polymer in the weight ratio between 1:4 and 99:1 of polymer to plasticiser, preferably in the weight ratio 1:1 to 19:1, the plasticiser being thermally stable at least up to the temperature of the melt and having volatility characteristics such that the plasticiser can be volatilised from the composition below the decomposition temperature of the composition but has a sufficiently low volatility at the temperature of the melt to plasticise the polymer in the melt and give a melt of reduced viscosity compared with the melt viscosity of the polymer alone. The process enables higher molecular polymers to be used in the pultrusion process and enables higher fibre contents to be achieved.

Inventor: LAPPETELAEINEN ANTTI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1999-03-23
Granted: 2002-06-20
Abstract: In telecommunications networks, various kinds of information transfer occur where transmission periods are not transmitted. As a result of this, parts of the information packets contained in the concerned transmission periods are lost and the probability of loss of these information packets increases considerably. With the method according to the invention, the quality of information transfer is ensured in a telecommunications network where the information packet is coded and interleaved into at least two transmission periods. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that therein the transmission power of at least one transmission period related to the transmission of the same information packet is increased, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted. In another embodiment of the invention, the method is characterized in that the transmission power is increased of at least one transmission period of the same information packet, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted and when by increasing the transmission power the probability of loss of the information packet is sufficiently reduced.
