Filed: 1993-11-16
Granted: 1997-05-13
Abstract: The improved sampling valve assembly includes a diverting valve and an optional isolation valve in series for providing redundant shutoff.  The assembly includes rounded-end, side-ported needles (as part of an easily-replaced needle assembly) to pierce the receptacle septum without "coring" and help prevent liquid "carryover." The assembly also has features providing metered, low pressure flow into the receptacle and very low dead volume.  A receptacle guide has an interior cavity shaped like the receptacle to guide the inserted receptacle for aligned engagement of the septum with the needle assembly.  The needle assembly is removable by removing only the keeper nut.

Title: Recording/reproducing apparatus for disc-shaped recording medium, photodetector and optical head
Inventor: ANDO NOBUHIKO
IPC: G11B7/095
Filed: 1993-09-14
Granted: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a disc-shaped optical recording medium includes a rotation drive mechanism, a head device, a discriminating device, a first processing device, a second processing device, a third processing device and a controller. A disc-shaped optical recording medium is loaded on the rotation drive mechanism and is run in rotation at a constant linear velocity. The head device includes a laser light source and a photodetector unit and is movable in the radial direction of the disc-shaped optical recording medium for recording/reproducing information signal on or from the disc-shaped optical recording medium. The discriminating device discriminates the type of the disc-shaped optical recording medium loaded on the rotation driving device. The photodetector unit includes first, second and third photodetectors. The first processing circuit takes a difference between output signals from the first photodetector and those from the second photodetector. The second processing circuit takes a sum of output signals from the first photodetector and those from the second photodetector. The third photodetector generates an error signal based on an output signal from the third photodetector. The controller selectively changes over an output from the first processing circuit to an output from the second processing circuit and vice versa based on a detection output from the discriminating device to produce reproducing signals.

Title: Method and a device for wrapping a product in a wrapper of sheet material
Inventor: BERTALERO ROBERTO
IPC: B65B11/50
Filed: 1993-12-23
Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: A close-fitting wrapper for a product is produced from two sheets, the first of which is made dish-shaped so as to surround the greater part of the product The other sheet is laid on the rest of the product so as to assume a shape complementary to that of the product itself.

Title: Tv signal codec with amplitude limitation and a shift
Inventor: SUZUKI NORIO
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 1995-11-17
Granted: 1999-11-16
Abstract: A TV signal encoder device for encoding a digital TV signal into an encoder device output signal, both having a predetermined dynamic range, includes an amplitude limiter, a predictive encoder unit for predictive encoding with quantization an amplitude-limited signal of a limited dynamic range into a quantized signal having together with quantization noise the predetermined dynamic range, and a code converter for code-converting the quantized signal into the device output signal. A forward offset circuit adaptively gives a forward shift to the TV  signal so as to avoid undesirable clipping of tip ends of synchronizing signals in the amplitude-limited signal. The forward shift and a lower and a higher range reduction of the predetermined dynamic range into the limited dynamic range are preferably equal to a maximum quantization noise level. Instead of the offset circuit, use of an encoder dynamic range-defining circuit is more preferred. In this event, a TV  signal decoder device comprises instead an inverse offset circuit, a decoder dynamic range-defining circuit and a level converter.
