Abstract: With the present invention, by using two or more floats, nested in one another, the switch can be triggered at different times and the time required for the machine to detect the undesired amount of water is shortened. Moreover, frequent calls for service are avoided by preventing the machine warnings due to momentary irregularities. The inner float (3) is provided with discharges (12) and bosses (9). Numerous discharges (12) of various shapes are provided at the regions in proximity to the side of the inner float (3) in order that unwanted water coming over the inner float (3) can easily be transferred inside the outer float chamber (5). For the same purpose, the top surface (6) of the inner float (3) is made inclined from the peak, point towards the edge. A hub (11) is provided on the upper surface (6) of the inner float (3). An outer float chamber (5) is formed inside the outer float (2). The outer float chamber (5) is provided with a drainage outlet (7).

Abstract: A method for measuring the geometrical structure of an optical component ( 2 ) in transmission, comprises illuminating the optical component by means of a first incident beam ( 8, 10 ), the wavefront of which is known. After the first beam is transmitted by the optical component, its wavefront is measured by deflectometry ( 16, 18 ). The optical component is then illuminated by a second incident beam ( 12, 14 ), the wavefront of which is known. After the second beam is transmitted by the optical component, its wavefront is measured by deflectometry ( 16, 18 ). The geometrical structure of the optical component is then calculated from the measured wavefronts. Measuring light transmitted in two distinct optical configurations allows a calculation by optimizing the two surfaces of the component, without prior knowledge of one of the surfaces. The first and second beams may be different and may illuminate the same surface of the component; thus it is possible to use identical beams and to illuminate each surface of the component in succession.

Abstract: An ink-jet ink with excellent ink properties which comprises a metal dispersion in which ultrafine metal particles having a particle diameter of 100 nm or smaller are evenly dispersed independently.  This ink is for use in printing or conductive-circuit formation with an ink-jet printer. The process comprises: a first step in which a metal vapor is contacted with the vapor of a first solvent by the gas vaporization method to obtain a dispersion of ultrafine metal particles; a second step in which a second solvent which is a low-molecular polar solvent is added to the dispersion to sediment the ultrafine metal particles and the first solvent is removed by extraction; and a third step in which a third solvent is added to the sediment to conduct solvent replacement and thereby obtain an ultrafine-metal-particle dispersion. In the first and/or third step, a dispersant is added.

Abstract: The present invention comprises the use of sulfite additives to reduce discoloration of L-ascorbic acid produced from acid or aqueous solutions of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid. In one aspect, the present invention comprises a continuous process for producing L-ascorbic acid from an aqueous solution of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid. The use of sulfite additives reduces product stream color and improves product recovery by binding to high molecular weight reaction by-products. In a continuous process, the reaction stream is separated from residual sulfite and sulfite-bound by-products to produce a product stream enriched in aqueous ascorbic acid for recovery, and an enriched 2-keto-L-gulonic acid stream which is recycled to the reactor. The in situ use of sulfite additives during the reaction increases the overall yield of L-ascorbic acid, with no loss in selectivity of the synthesis.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distinguishing a valid sensed cardiac signal from an invalid signal, such as a myopotential. In one embodiment, sensing an electrical signal with one electrode causes a timing window to commence. When the electrical signal is sensed by another electrode in the timing window, the sense is deemed valid. When the electrical signal is not sensed by the other electrode in the timing window, the sense is deemed invalid. Therapy may be adjusted when an inordinate number of senses are invalid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a toothbrush with tapered bristles and method of manufacturing such toothbrushes. The toothbrush is characterized in that the tapered end of each bristle is 0.02mm or less of diameter. The bristle is tapered starting at a position of 3.5mm or less from an end, and is made of polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate. The method of this invention consists of the steps of dipping 3.5mm portions from ends of monofilaments for toothbrushes into erosive chemicals such as sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide until the dipped portions of the monofilaments are completely eroded, neutralizing the shortened monofilaments prior to rinsing and drying them, and implanting the shortened monofilaments on a toothbrush. Thereafter, the shortened monofilaments are ground using a 240grit silicone carbide sheet at 2600 to 2700rpm for 3 to 10sec, a 320grit silicone carbide sheet at same speed for 3 to 10sec, and a 400grit silicone carbide sheet at same speed for 3 to 10sec. The toothbrush of this invention enjoys advantages of proper flexibility and softness, improved feeling while brushing, and excellent scaling ability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for conducting a search in a codebook. This codebook consists of a set of pulse amplitude/position combinations each defining a number L of positions p and comprising both zero-amplitude pulses and non-zero-amplitude pulses assigned to respective positions p = 1, 2, ...L of the combination. Also, each non-zero-amplitude pulse assumes one of q possible amplitudes. According to the method, a subset of combinations is pre-selected from the codebook, and the search is limited to this subset to reduce complexity thereof. To pre-select the subset, an amplitude/position function is pre-established in relation to the sound signal. Pre-establishing the amplitude/position function includes pre-assigning one of the q possible amplitudes to each position p by (i) processing the sound signal to produce a backward-filtered target signal D and a pitch-removed residual signal R', (ii) calculating an amplitude estimate vector B in response to the signals D and R', and (iii) for each position p, quantizing an amplitude estimate Bp of the vector B to obtain the amplitude to be selected for that particular position p.

Abstract: In a radio access network, a drift radio network controller (DRNC) [262] transmits to a serving radio network controller (SRNC) [261] either (1) a filtering rule for a candidate cell [so that the serving radio network controller (SRNC) can generate a measurement list for a user equipment unit having a connection controlled by the serving radio network controller (SRNC)], or (2) a list of cells qualifying [according to filtering rules stored at and applied by the drift radio network controller (DRNC)] for inclusion in the measurement list for the user equipment unit. The filtering rule provides criteria useful for determining whether the candidate cell qualifies for inclusion in the measurement list of cells for the user equipment unit. If the candidate cell is a shared cell or cell for which the user equipment unit otherwise has permission for usage, the candidate cell qualifies for inclusion in the measurement list for the user equipment unit. On the other hand, if the candidate cell is a unshared cell for which the user equipment unit has no permission for usage, the candidate cell does not qualify for inclusion in the measurement list for the user equipment unit. The filtering rule itself can take various forms, and the filtering rule-bearing Iur message can have various formats possibly with transmission economizing features of the invention. In one mode of the invention, the drift radio network controller (DRNC) may itself apply the filtering rule to determine whether the candidate cell qualifies for the measurement list. In a hybrid mode, filtering functions are initially performed by the serving radio network controller (SRNC) and subsequently performed by the drift radio network controller (DRNC).
