Patent EP-1083335-A3 (EP)
Inventor: OTA MASAKI
IPC: F04B27/18
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A control valve used for a variable displacement
compressor comprises a valve housing (45), a valve chamber (46)
defined in the valve housing (45), a valve body (43). The
valve body (43) is located in the valve chamber (46). A
pressure sensing chamber (48) is defined in the valve housing
(45). A movable wall (54) is located in the sensing chamber
(48) to divide a first pressure chamber (55) and a second
pressure chamber (56). The movable wall (54) moves in
accordance with the pressure difference between the first
pressure chamber (55) and the second pressure chamber (56). A
rod (40) transmits the movement of the movable wall (54) to the
valve body (43). The pressure directed in the vicinity of the
end portion of the rod (40) is the same type pressure directed
in the first pressure chamber (55) or in the second pressure
chamber (56). An actuator determines the target pressure
difference between the two pressure chambers. This permits the
displacement of the compressor to be quickly changed.

Abstract: Alkaline earth-manganese oxides are used as pigments. The alkaline
earth-manganese oxide pigments are preferably of the formula Me x MnO y , where Me
is at least one metal selected from Ca, Sr, Ba and Mg, x is from 0.01 to 99, and y is
greater than or equal to x + 1 and less than or equal to x + 2. The pigments are
useful as colorants, and also possess improved reflectance characteristics, particularly
in the IR region, and may reduce IR-induced heat buildup. These colorants can be
used to form colored objects, or coat objects when they are either added into or
applied onto materials such as paints, inks, plastics, glasses, ceramics and the like.
The patent also covers the production of these pigments.

Abstract: A headrail designed for powered coverings for architectural openings comprises a
housing defining an interior that conveniently hides a battery holder, a signal-receiving
system, and an electric motor used to adjust the configuration of the covering. The headrail
also hides improved hardware for mounting the motor and, in the case of coverings
comprising tiltable elements, improved hardware for mounting a tilt rod. Additionally, in the
case of coverings comprising tiltable elements, the headrail hides improved hardware for
adjustably attaching the tiltable elements to the tilt rod in a manner that prevents over-rotation
of the tiltable elements. The battery holder may comprise a battery magazine or a
battery carrier removably mounted in the headrail housing. The batteries may be inserted into
or extracted from the battery holder through an opening in a bottom wall of the headrail
housing. A swingably mounted trap door may selectively cover or uncover the opening. The
battery carrier slidingly engages, through the opening in the bottom of the headrail housing, a
battery carrier housing that is mounted within the headrail housing. The signal-receiving
system includes an exposed signal receiver for receipt of remote-control signals. The present
invention also provides a tilt control system with an inexpensive and effective clutch to
prevent over-winding of cords onto a control shaft (e.g., a tilt rod) used to control tiltable
elements of the covering. The preferred tilt control system also minimizes torque on the
motor or other mechanism used to drive the control shaft.

Abstract: The distance between a cash cassette (1) and a
person (2) who is handling the cassette (1) is measured
automatically in a case that there is a risk that the
cash cassette (1) may be stolen during a burglary.
When the distance equals or exceeds a predetermined
distance, it is concluded that a burglary has occurred,
and various burglary alarm devices (14) are activated.
Accordingly, even when only one person (2) performs a
cash cassette exchange at a location which is easily
accessible to other people, the commission of a crime
can be immediately detected, so that the theft of a
cash cassette (1) during a burglary can be prevented.
Therefore, the number of persons (2) required for a
cash cassette exchange can be reduced, which results in
a reduction of operating costs. Further, since extra
space is not required for a cash cassette exchange,
restriction of choice of an installation location for
an automatic transaction apparatus can be considerably
reduced.

Abstract: In practical WDM systems, the maximum SMSR for each channel does not
necessarily occur where dP out /dI tun  = 0. In fact, for most channels the maximum SMSR
occurs at values of tuning current where this first derivative in not zero. In accordance
with one aspect of the invention, a wavelength stabilized optical transmitter includes a
DBR laser and a feedback loop for controlling the center wavelength of the laser,
characterized in that the transmitter also includes a memory in which are stored the non-zero
values of dP out /dI tune  where the SMSR is a maximum for each of a multiplicity of
different channel wavelengths and further includes a controller responsive to the stored
values for delivering to the laser a level of tuning current that maximizes the SMSR for a
particular channel wavelength.

Abstract: A video signal including illumination flicker component is
integrated at each of unit areas (horizontal lines) in a frame (field) of
the video signal. The integrated level at each of the unit areas at
the frame and the integrated level at the corresponding unit area of
an adjacent frame are averaged. Dividing is effected between results
of the averaging and integrating every unit area. It is judged
whether flicker exists in the video signal by frequency-analyzing
results of the dividing result at the unit areas. The unit area may be
plural adjacent lines where flickering are negligible. The averaging
circuit may be circulation type of or FIR filter. Threshold level for
judging the flicker is changed according to a shutter speed control
signal. Flicker compensation may be executed by controlling shutter
speed or the AGC according to flicker judging result. A still
condition at a block in a frame may be detected from the integration
result at plural frames. When the block is judged to be still, the
flicker is judged. An ac line frequency detection is also disclosed to
detect the frequency of the ac line from a video signal generated
under illumination including flicker. An imaging circuit may be
provided to generate the video signal therein.

Abstract: A dynamic balance is improved in an S-P-C type planetary gear
mechanism (8). An input shaft (9) is fixed to a disk (13), and an output shaft (10) is fixed to
a planetary gear (12). A circular recess (13a) is formed in the disk (13) so as to be eccentric
to the input shaft (9). A ring gear (11) engaged with the planetary gear (13) is rotatably
supported by the circular recess (13a). A weight-reduced portion (13b) having the same
depth as that of the recess (13a) is provided in a part of the disk (13) where the
circular recess (13a) is not formed, and a weight portion (W) is formed to recover the
axial dynamic balance of the disk (13), which is lost by arranging the circular
recess (13a) and the ring gear (11). Since the planetary gear (12) is fixed coaxially to the
output shaft (10), it does not perform an eccentric motion and thus secures the
dynamic balance thereof. Accordingly, the dynamic balance in the axial
direction is secured for every individual rotating element constructing a gear
device (8).

Abstract: The present invention provides for both a composition and method for producing a scratch resistant coating applied to an acoustical panel. The coating primarily comprises binder, filler and mica and is typically applied as a spray. The coating can be characterized as a discontinuous film, whereby sound can pass through the coating to the panel for attenuating sound. The coating is thus enabled to provide a finish and color without compromising the acoustical performance of the substrate. The process primarily comprises combining and mixing the dry components of filler, binder and mica and then combining the same with water and mixing to create an aqueous mix that can be applied to the acoustical panel and dried.

Inventor: GUTIERREZ-AITKEN AUGUSTO
IPC: H01L29/737
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: The performance of a heterojunction bipolar transistor
(HBT) operating at high power is limited by the power that
can be dissipated by the device. This, in turn, is limited
by the thermal resistance of the device to heat dissipation.
In a typical HBT, and especially InP-based HBTs, heat
generated during operation is concentrated near the
collector-base junction. In order to more efficiently
dissipate heat downward through the device to the substrate,
both the collector and the sub-collector are formed of InP,
which has a substantially lower thermal resistance than
other typically used semiconductor materials.
