Patent CA-2669148-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NUTE ROGER
IPC: G11B7/24
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical recording medium comprising a substrate and a recording layer arranged on one side of the substrate, wherein the optical recording medium has a predetermined clamping area. According to the present invention, the clamping area is formed such as to achieve a deformation of or a tension in at least a part of the optical recording medium when it is clamped within a recording and/or reproducing device. In particular, the deformation or tension is present in an area or in the entire area of the optical recording medium which is located outside of the clamping area. The deformation or tension preferably results in a change of the relative position of the outer edges of the optical recording medium with respect to the clamping area. As a result, the optical recording medium may have a thinner thickness in the area of the recording layer (outside of the clamping area) of - for example - only about 0.6 mm or even less. In particular, the thickness Tj of the optical recording medium in an area outside of the clamping area is in the range between 0.4 to 0.7 mm.

Title: Apparatus and methods for active mold decompression & melt accumulation in a shooting pot reservoir of an injection molding machine
Inventor: JUARISTI-TELLO ENRIQUE
IPC: B29C45/77
Filed: 2007-10-22
Abstract: Active decompression to prevent melt drool from a mold (12, 14) or runner system (20) is achieved through the selective coupling and de-coupling of an injection piston (34) to a plunger (38). Following successive injection (FIG. 5a) and hold phases (FIG. 5b) of an injection molding process (FIG. 5), the runner and channel system is partially de-compressed (FIG. 5c) by drawing back together, over a short distance, the plunger (38) and the injection pressure (34) as one unit. The injection piston is then mechanically de-coupled from the plunger (FIG. 5e), with the injection piston (34) withdrawn to essentially its final shot position, but minus a customary packing distance ( ). Plastic melt (100), extruded into a shooting pot (28) positioned in front of the plunger (38), is permitted to push the plunger backwards, but now with minimal work expenditure. When the plunger again contacts (FIG. 5f) the injection piston (34), melt pressure now causes both units to be moved back to reach a final shot size volume. Finally, the injection piston (34) drives the plunger (38) forward to eject melt accumulated within the shooting pot (28).

Filed: 2008-05-27
Abstract: The present invention is directed to various methods for rendering one or more conversations on a communication device. In a one method, a current conversation among a plurality of conversations is selected. For the selected conversation, media received and associated with the selected conversation is rendered, while media created on the device and associated with the selected conversation is transmitted to the participants of the selected conversation.  The media associated with the non-selected conversations is stored on the communication device for later review. In a second method, the plurality of conversations may be consecutively rendered using a priority order. As media for the various conversations is received, the available media of the highest priority con-versation is rendered while the media of the other conversations is rendered in a time-shifted mode. In yet another method, the media of the plurality of conversations may be simultaneously rendered and stored.  With this embodiment, one of the conversations may be selected for review. During the review period, the received media of the other conversations is stored, but not rendered.

Abstract: A motor controller (4) and method for maximizing the energy savings in an AC induction motor (3) at every load wherein the motor is calibrated at two or more load points to establish a control line (6), which is then programmed into a non-volatile memory (30) of the motor controller. A DSP-based closed-loop motor controller observes the motor parameters of the motor such as firing angle/duty cycles (23), voltage (37), current (9) and phase angles to arrive at a minimum voltage necessary to operate the motor at any load along the control line. The motor controller performs closed-loop control to keep the motor running at a computed target control point, such that maximum energy savings are realized by reducing voltage through pulse width modulation.
