Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant à un utilisateur de demander des informations de position depuis un poste téléphonique du service mobile (10). En l'occurrence, un utilisateur émet une demande d'informations de position concernant un type particulier d'entreprise. La demande est traitée par un module (20) à l'intérieur même du poste mobile (10) puis transmise au registre de positions de rattachement (40) de la station mobile (10) via la station de base (36) et le centre de commutation mobile (30) desservant la station mobile (10). Le registre de positions de rattachement (40) détermine la zone de la position et l'identité de cellule de la station mobile (10) puis émet cette information plus la requête originale adressée à une base de données relationnelle (55). La base de données relationnelle (55) détermine l'identité de l'entreprise située soit à l'intérieur, soit au voisinage de la zone de la position et/ou l'identité de cellule de la station mobile (10). Cette information, ainsi que les adresses de l'entreprise identifiée, sont renvoyées à la station mobile (10) pour consultation par l'utilisateur.

Abstract: The present invention is for the improvement of inter-layer bonding strength in
polypropylene films through the addition of ethylene as a mini-random copolymer in an
amount of no more than about 1 weight percent, more preferably no more than about 0.7
weight percent, and most preferably between about 0.3 weight percent to about 0.5 weight
percent or even amounts less than about 0.2 weight percent. The invention allows the
improvement of inter-layer bond strength in multi-layer films resulting specifically in
improved heat seal strength. The invention encompasses both the resulting films with
enhanced heat seal strength and the process for producing such films. In the preferred
embodiment, the proposed mini-random copolymer is formed into a film layer used in place
of a propylene homopolymer layer, providing improved bonding properties over a film
formed of polypropylene homopolymer, while maintaining at acceptable levels the physical
and optical characteristics of a film layer made from a propylene homopolymer, such as
stiffness.

Abstract: An apparatus for counteracting vibrations includes a
housing (30) for attachment to a vibrating member, first (32)
and second (50) bodies being connected to the housing by
first (36) and second (55) springs, respectively, with a
combined stiffness which defines a resonant frequency at
which the first and second bodies oscillate with respect to
the housing. Each of the first and second springs include a
plurality of rods (40, 59) fixedly connected between a pair
of rings (37, 38; 57, 58). A lever (42) engages the first
and second bodies to vary a spacing between those bodies when
force from an actuator (50) is applied to the lever. The
lever action alters the stiffness of the first and second
springs which varies the resonant frequency of the vibration
absorber.

Abstract: A one way clutch includes a shaft (5), a rotation-transmitting
member (7), and a rotating member (6, 6A, 6B,
6C, 6D, 6E). The rotating shaft (5) is rotatable about its
rotational axis (R) in a first direction (J) and in a second
direction (L) opposite to the first direction (J). The
rotating shaft (5) extends through the rotation-transmitting
member (7) which is in the form of a coil spring. When the
shaft (5) rotates in the second direction (L), the spring
(7) tightly engages the shaft (5) and rotates together with
the shaft (5) to transmit rotation of the shaft (5) to the
rotating member (6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E). When the shaft (5)
rotates in the first direction (J), the spring (7) loosely
engages the shaft (5) not to transmit the rotation of the
shaft (5) to the rotating member (6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E).
The rotating member (6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E) fits over and
engages the spring (7) such that the rotating member (6, 6A,
6B, 6C, 6D, 6E) is axially movable along, but not rotatable
relative to the spring (7). The rotating member (6, 6A, 6B,
6C, 6D, 6E) is yieldably biased in a third direction
parallel to the rotational axis such that the rotating
member (6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E) is allowed to yieldably move
in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction when
an external rotational load is applied to the rotating
member in the fourth direction. Thus, the rotating member
(6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E) is prevented from being locked.

Abstract: A system for attaching an adhesive backed write-protect ring (104, 608) to an
optical disk (100) with the center of the ring aligned to the center of the central hole (102)
in the disk. A write-protect assembly (600) is formed from a multilayer material having an
adhesive backed label layer and a backing layer. The write-protect assembly includes a
removable innermost area (308, 606) that, when removed, forms a hole having a diameter
that is the same diameter as the central hole of an optical disk. The innermost area is at
least partially surrounded by a ring shaped alignment area (306, 610) that is also
removable. Finally, the alignment area is surrounded by the write-protect ring. The central
area of the assembly is punched out to form a hole and the backing material is removed
from at least part (310, 614) of the write protect area, exposing the adhesive coated
surface. The assembly and an optical disk are placed onto an alignment cylinder (300,
408). The alignment area of the write-protect assembly ensures that the center of the write-protect
ring is aligned to the center of the hole in the disk. Finally, the disk with write-protect
ring and alignment area attached is removed from the alignment cylinder and the
alignment area of the write-protect assembly is removed, leaving just the write-protect ring
attached to the disk. The hub (408) of the plastic insert tray (406) of a CD jewel case (402)
may be used for an alignment cylinder. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the
write-protect assembly is placed onto the hub first, and the design of the assembly is such
that the hub helps remove the central area and the hub helps removal of the backing over
the write-protect ring.

Abstract: A focusing method plays a big role of determining a resolution of an
ultrasonic image. Focusing is performed by controlling an arrival difference
of a signal up to a focal point by an electronics delay circuit. Here, the
focusing method for focusing an ultrasonic signal having emitted to a focal
point of an object via an array transducer including a plurality of elements,
obtains an optimal focusing time delay curve according to the ultrasonic
signal travelling velocity to thereby obtain an optimal ultrasonic image.
Using only data obtained without any modification of the structure of an
existing ultrasonic imaging system, a focusing time delay curve is
estimated. Thus, a resolution can be enhanced with only a simple
calculation.

Abstract: A process for converting a high-boiling fraction, resulting from the reaction of methyl chloride with silicon metalloid in a process typically referred to as the "direct process", to monosilanes. Said process comprises forming a mixture comprising a low-boiling fraction comprising monosilanes and a high-boiling fraction comprising polymeric silicon containing compounds and contacting the mixture with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst effective in promoting conversion of the polymeric silicon containing compounds to monosilanes. The process results in conversion of the high-boiling fraction to monosilanes. At least a portion of the catalyst present may be formed in situ during conduct of the direct process and isolation of the fractions.
