Patent EP-1338801-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCOTT GEORGE EDWARD
IPC: F16D35/00
Filed: 1997-03-06
Abstract: A fan (31) and fan drive (11) assembly in which the fan includes a spider (33),
typically a metal stamping, defining fastener openings (41), each including larger opening
(43) and a smaller opening (45). Adjacent the smaller opening, the spider defines a raised
ramp portion (47). The fan drive includes an output (13) defining fan mounting portions
(21), each of which includes a head portion (25), and a shank portion (27). Upon assembly,
the head portions (25) align with, then pass axially through the larger openings (43), then the
fan is rotated relative to the fan drive, resulting in the shank portions (27) moving into the
smaller openings (45) and the head portions (25) passing over and deforming the ramp
portions (47), thus tightly engaging the fan spider (33) to the fan drive output member (13).
The invention provides an assembly and method which eliminate the need for bolts, and the
associated drilling and tapping of threaded holes in the output member, as well as the time-consuming
bolting process in the assembly plant, and the periodic bolt strippage and
associated warranty problems.

IPC: B23C3/04
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: In an initial stage the lens edge(R) is milled to a specific contour and in a final finishing stage the edge profile is completed and chamfers provided. Both initial milling and final finishing of the lens edge are effected with a combination tool(10) having milling cutters(26,28) and one or more rotating machining cutters(36). During the milling stage the tool is rotated around its axis(C) at a speed(nC) and prior to and during the machining stage makes a controlled angular rotation(psiC).  Prior to initial milling and/or between this operation and the final finishing the lens radii and height values are measured and the latter are used in both milling and final finishing stages. In the finishing operation the combination tool(10), is rotated around its axis and moved radially relative to the lens rotation axis(B) so that the machining cutter(36) contacts the lens edge and the cutting face makes an angle with a tangent at the contact point. During machining of a non-circular lens the combination tool is rotated through an angle psiC = f (psiB, rB(approximatelyuB)) dependent on the lens rotation angle(psiB) and the lens radius(rB(approximatelyuB)) so that the angle between the tool cutting face and a tangent at the contact point remains constant. During final finishing an angled ridge with two flanks may be machined around the lens edge(R) by either: a) bevelled edges(32,34) at each end of the milling cutters(26,28); b) bevelled edges at each end of the machining cutter which cut each flank in turn; c) a V-shaped cut-out in the machining cutter. Alternatively a groove(N) may be cut around the lens edge by a cutting edge on the machining cutter. Chamfers may be produced between the lens edge and the optical faces(O1,O2) during final finishing using the bevelled edges at each end of the machining cutter. Edge polishing is effected by the machining cutter with a negative cutting angle. Independent claims are included for: a) the combination tool(10) which comprises a body(20) carrying milling cutters(26,28) and at least one axially displaced machining cutter(36) or alternatively milling cutters with a machining cutter at the same axial point between each milling cutter and offset radially inside the milling cutter cutting circle; b) lens edge machining equipment which includes lens holders(14,16) and a combination tool rotation spindle(12) with two linear movement directions(X,Z) and a controlled rotation through a specific angle(psiC) to enable a machining cutter to contact the lens edge at a desired point.

IPC: H04N9/79

Abstract: The major TV systems in the world use interlaced scanning
and either 50Hz field frequency or 60Hz field frequency, denoted
50i and 60i, respectively. However, movies are produced
in 24Hz frame frequency and progressive scanning, denoted
24p. In order to broadcast movies as TV programs, in
60Hz countries a 3:2 pull-down is applied in which every 3rd
field is repeated, and in 50Hz countries a movie is replayed
or broadcast about 4% faster. In 24p digital format the
video signal is encoded using MPEG. Because 24p-related
originally compressed audio data streams cannot be decoded
and replayed 4% faster without carrying out a pitch conversion
consuming a significant amount of processor time, DVD
Video discs sold in 50Hz countries contain audio data
streams that are already encoded such that the DVD player's
decoder 'automatically' outputs a 4% faster audio signal.
When introducing HDTV digitally compressed movies on discs
the movie producers would like to provide movie content only
in 24p format worldwide. According to the invention, a related
disc player offers at least three different replay
modi to the user:
     24p format with original video and audio replay speed;   60i format with original audio replay speed and 3:2 pull-down
for video;   50i format with original audio replay speed and 24:1 pull-down
for video.

Abstract: An optical device to be used in optical non-reciprocal components
(e.g. isolators and circulators) includes a Faraday rotator having
a Faraday rotation of 45 degrees and made of a bismuth-substituted
rare-earth iron garnet (BIG) single crystal (31) and permanent magnets (31,33) arranged beside
the Faraday rotator to define two or more areas having a single magnetic domain
structure in the Faraday rotator. Adjacent areas are magnetized in
opposite directions to cause the polarization planes of two light beams (L1,L2)
passing through the adjacent areas to rotate in opposite directions.
The optical device satisfies the relation expressed by ΔD/2 > Hs/Br/DH > 0
where Hs (Oe) is a saturation magnetic field of the BIG, DH
(cm -1 ) is a rate of change of the magnetic field in the proximity of a
boundary between the adjacent areas, Br (Gauss) is a residual flux
density of the permanent magnets, and ΔD is a distance between the
two light beams.

Abstract: A shutter row and a selecting row in an image
pixel portion 104 are sequentially shifted by vertically
(V) selecting means 106. Then, in pixels constituting the
shutter row, signal charges of photoelectric conversion
elements (photodiodes) are transferred to FD portions after
the reset of the FD portions. Subsequently, in the pixels
constituting the selecting row, signal charges of the
photoelectric conversion elements are transferred to the FD
portions before the reset of the FD portions. As a result,
it is possible to output a signal having a knee point which
is sensitive in the dark and insensitive in the light,
thereby enabling an image with wider dynamic range to be
picked up with a simple construction having a single output
system, even if the amount of saturated electric charges of
the photoelectric conversion elements is small.
