Patent EP-1447703-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WADA MITSUHIRO
IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: A projection display apparatus includes a light source (1), an
illumination system (8), a reflection system (9), a reflection-type light
modulator (10), a lens element (11), and a projection system (12). The
optical axis (8a) of the illumination system (8) and the optical axis (12a) of
the projection system (12) are skew lines. The lens element (11) allows the
exit pupil (8b) of the illumination system (8) to be conjugated substantially
with the entrance pupil (12b) of the projection system (12). Thus, the
reflection-type light modulator (10) and the projection system (12) can be
arranged coaxially. Moreover, mechanical contact or interference between
the optical components can be eliminated, and the space can be utilized
efficiently. This configuration can provide an inexpensive compact
projection display apparatus using a reflection-type light modulator.

Abstract: An essentially quadrate paving stone having a corresponding base block (21) is provided on all four side surfaces (25, 26) with flange-like, upright spacers (22) which are spaced apart from each other at intervals corresponding approximately to the width of the spacers, making it possible for them to make an interlocking connection with adjacent shaped paving stones of the same type. Furthermore, the bottom side (24) of the paving stone features a number of transverse, gutter-like depressions resulting in the formation of ribs between these depressions. This creates an additional dentification, or anchoring, in the bed surface of the installed paving stones.

Abstract: An optical fiber cable (10) has plastic tube(s) (120), a jacket (160), and a strength component system. The system has diametrically opposed dielectric rods (300-1, 300-2) which extend parallel to longitudinal axis, at least partially embedded in the jacket. Each rod is surrounded by frictional adhesion coating which enables local movement within the jacket in response to compressive/flexural stress. An optical fiber cable (10) having a longitudinal axis, comprises at least one plastic tube (120), a jacket (160), and a strength component system. The plastic tube extends parallel to the longitudinal axis and encloses several optical fibers (101). The jacket is made of a plastic material and encloses the plastic tube. The system comprises two diametrically opposed dielectric rods (300-1,300-2) which extend parallel to the longitudinal axis and are at least partially embedded in the jacket. The rods have a compressive stiffness which is effective to inhibit contraction of the cable and a tensile stiffness which is effective to receive a tensile load without transfer of the tensile load to the optical fibers. Each rod is surrounded by a frictional adhesion coating which enables it to move locally within the jacket in response to compressive or flexural stress applied to the cable.

Abstract: An airbag module (20) utilizes tape dispensing cartridges (40; 94; 138).
A tape end extends from each cartridge to the inside surface of an
airbag (22). As the airbag inflates, tape (36) is drawn from the tape
cartridges as the tapes are drawn along with the deploying airbag. The
rate at which tape is withdrawn from the cartridges (40; 94; 138) is measured
by sensible indicia of a magnetic or optical nature positioned on the tape (36)
and drawn past a sensor (44; 106) contained within the tape cartridge. The
markings on the tape can be nonuniform along the length of the tape. A tape
storage area outlet (60) and a cartridge outlet (64) are each formed by two
relatively large radius corners. A seal (92) is attached to the tape and the
cartridge (40; 94; 138) to prevent the ingress of contaminants. As the
airbag (22) withdraws tape(36) from the cartridges, the seal (92) is unseated.
