Patent EP-1052461-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAGO OTTO Z
IPC: F24H1/18
Filed: 2000-05-08
Abstract: A water heater comprising a water-tight tank having a combustion
chamber located in the bottom portion of the tank. A combustion air blower is
operable to draw combustion air into the combustion chamber through a
vertical tube in which the air flows from atmosphere downwardly into the
combustion chamber. Combustion air entering the combustion chamber
supports combustion of gas emanating from burners positioned in the
combustion chamber. The products of combustion (flue gases) are drawn
upwardly through a plurality of tubes, which extend from the combustion
chamber to a flue gas collector box on the top of the water heater. From the
flue gas collector box, the flue gases flow into an air/flue product mixing
chamber and then out through an exit port.

Abstract: An improved IR occupant position detection system (10) that
provides accurate and reliable classification and position information
at a speed sufficient to timely inhibit or otherwise control deployment
of occupant restraints. A two-dimensional array (40) of IR emitters
(L) is selectively activated to periodically illuminate two or more
predetermined viewing planes (26, 28, 30) in the vicinity of a
passenger seating area, and the reflected IR energy is detected by a
photo-sensitive receiver (24) and analyzed to detect the presence of an
occupant, to classify the occupant, and to identify and dynamically
track the position of the occupant's head/torso relative to predefined
zones of the passenger compartment. Modulating the intensity of the
emitted IR beams with a known carrier frequency, band-pass filtering
the received signal, and synchronously detecting the filtered signal
distinguishes the reflected IR energy from other signals picked up by
the IR receiver (24). Additionally, a two stage adaptive control
mechanism compensates for the variation in intensity of the reflected
energy with distance between the emitter and the occupant. The
emitter (40) is implemented with orthogonal anode and cathode power
rails with individual IR LED elements (L) placed at each anode-cathode
intersection. Optical dispersion within the package is greatly
reduced by an opaque cover layer (64) that effectively forms a well for
each LED element (L).

Abstract: A tape-like medium running device realizes a reduction of a fast-forwarding
time and a rewinding time by running a tape-like medium at a high speed up to a
marginal point near a leading end or a tail end of the tape-like medium during a
fast-forward and a rewind operation. For this purpose, rotating speed of a motor
1 is gradually slowed down with the lapse of time from a high target speed and
then settled at a low target speed, if an irregularity detection unit determines there
is an irregular condition based on an output of a wound-up diameter detector.
The invention can thus allows a setting of a wound-up diameter comparison
reference value at the marginal point near the leading end when rewinding (or, the
marginal point near the tail end when fast-forwarding), and minimize a time
during which the motor 1 rotates at the low target speed.

male sub-housing 20 is pushed from a posterior direction into a housing chamber 13
formed within the frame 10, a protruding member 44 of a locking arm 43 provided on
an outer face of a posterior end of the sub-housing 20 latches resiliently against a
stopping member 51 of a stopping plate 50 provided on an inner face of the housing
chamber 13. A large hood member 33 of a corresponding female housing 30 is fitted
with the sub-housing 20 from the anterior thereof, this large hood member 33 covering
an outer circumference of a anterior end of the sub-housing 20. A recess 37 is formed
at a tip of this large hood member 33. When the two housings 20 and 30 are correctly
fitted together, a tip of the locking arm 43 fits into this recess 37. If the two housings
20 and 30 are correctly fitted together, the bending of the locking arm 43 is regulated
and the locking arm 43 is maintained in a latched state with the stopping member 51.

Abstract: A method and system for non-destructive, reference-free thermographic detection of sub-surface defects uses an infrared camera to capture images of a sample that has been heated and allow to cool to equilibrium temperature. The temperature-time data obtained for each pixel in each image is converted into the logarithmic domain and a least squares fit is conducted on the data to generate a polynomial expression corresponding to the temperature-time data for a given pixel. This polynomial expression can be transformed into the original time domain to obtain temperature-time data with improved signal-to-noise characteristics. Defects can be detected by observing the zero-crossing characteristic of the second derivative of the polynomial.

magnetic poles, but it overlaps with at least a portion of the inclined surface.
A circumferential-direction distance τ between the outermost-diameter
surface and the tip portion is set to be 0 < τ < 3δ where δ denotes an air
gap defined therebetween.
