Title: Imaging device comprising moveable arm with clutch and frictional resistance
Inventor: MARUYAMA KENICHI
IPC: H04N1/195
Filed: 2008-10-21
Abstract: An imaging device for imaging an area of a table 110 on which an imaging object is to be mounted comprises a camera head holding arm 140 which can be varied between a position in which the camera head 120 is held in an imaging position and a position in which the camera head lies adjacent the table 110. The arm 140 rotates about a shaft 204 having one-way clutch 240 which applies a resistance to movement of the arm 140 when in the imaging position and releases the arm from frictional forces when the arm is moved from the table to the imaging position. A further resistance unit is provided which resists movement of the arm in the imaging position only when the camera head is in the orientation used when the camera head is to be moved to a position adjacent the table.

Title: Memory management unit with a dedicated cache memory for storing management data used to fetch requested data
Inventor: ENGH-HALSTVEDT ANDREAS DUE
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2009-01-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a memory management unit 12 with a cache memory 26 that stores management data 20 to be used in generating a management response to memory access requests. The unit also has prediction circuitry 22 that predicts the management data that will be required by the memory management unit and fetches this into the cache memory prior to a memory access request that requires that management data being issued or received by the memory management unit. The cache stores a subset of the management data that is stored in a management data memory. The management data may be mapping data for mapping virtual to physical memory addresses, access permission data and/or storage parameter data for controlling storage of data. The memory access requests may be a linked list of data with data pointing to memory address of next portions of said list, which is used by the prediction circuitry to determine the next required data. The management data may be two level page table data, with the higher level entry identifying a low level page table that specifying mapping data.

IPC: C03B19/10
Filed: 1925-04-17
Abstract: 232,625. Paisseau, J. April 19, 1924, [Convention date]. Beads, making. - In the manufacture of glass or enamel beads the copper tube which is only suitable as a support for the hand manufacture of beads is made capable of withstanding the greater stress of the mechanical manufacture. In one construction, shown in Fig. 1, five wires 1 of copper or like substance are arranged parallel to one another to form a round cable by slightly twisting them, or by binding them together with a wire. An asbestos cord dipped in sodium or potassium silicate may be employed, the silicate being dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid after the beads are made. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also other constructions of support. In one construction, the ordinary tube may be combined with a wire loosely disposed therein so that the wire may be removed and the tube destroyed, as is usual, by chemical means. The wire may be replaced by a cord of asbestos. A thin sheet or strip of copper may be wound round the wire core. The copper tube may also be replaced by a metal or alloy capable of being destroyed, but also capable of resisting the mechanical stress. A nickel, vanadium, or silicon alloy of copper may be employed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1973-03-02
Abstract: 1457425 Valves J M SHEARDOWN 1 March 1974 [2 March 1973] 10233/73 Heading F2V A non-concussive tap has an inlet 2 and an outlet 5 and a chamber 29 from which liquid escapes through passages 13, 31 and 30 to delay closing of the tap by a spring 20, the chamber being refilled as the tap is opened by deflection of the outer lip 25 of a cup washer 26. The passage 30 consists of a radially extending V-shaped groove in the surface of a collar 21 or in the base of the washer. The passage 31 may be joined at its middle portion by a shorter passage extending diagonally opposite to the passage 31 to ensure there is a flow of liquid if the spindle tilts from the vertical position. In an alternative construction, the chamber 29 is formed by a cupshaped member (36, Fig. 4) arranged co-axially below the inlet 16<SP>1</SP> of a valve seat. Both constructions may be modified by replacing the passage 30 with a short passage (40, Fig. 5) extending through a collar 7 or by a radial slot in the inner lip of the cup washer.

Filed: 1959-03-25
Abstract: 893,373. Screw-and-nut gearing. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd., and EVANS, R. N. March 14, 1960 [March 25, 1959], No. 10318/59. Class 80 (3). [Also in Group XXXVIII] In a follow-up device in which the table of a machine-tool follows the movement of a nut on a lead screw, relative movement being indicated by a differential transformer arrangement (see  Group XXXVIII), the differential transformer is mounted on a member which is spring-urged both in the longitudinal direction of the lead screw and perpendicular to this direction against stops carried by the nut, and also vertically upwards, i.e. perpendicular to both the previous directions, against limiting means attached to the table and carrying the elements that complete the magnetic circuits of the differential transformer. In Fig. 1, 1 and 2 are the two parts of an anti-backlash nut according to Specification 891,036. The nut is prevented from rotating by wheels 7 and 8, Fig. 3, running against channel 9 which is attached to the machine-tool table. Member 10 is mounted on the nut and urged by springs 18 in the longitudinal direction of the lead screw 3 against stop 19 attached to the nut, and by leaf-spring 17 (Fig. 3) upwardly so that wheels 12, 13 and 14, contact the lower edges of channel 9. The member 10 is also prevented from moving at right-angles to the axis of the thread by a further spring and stop arrangement 22 and 23, Fig. 2 (not shown). By these means the differential transformer limbs 25, 26 and 27 are accurately located relative to ferromagnetic sensing bars 28 carried by channel 9.

Title: Improvements in and relating to alternating current dynamo electric machines
IPC: H02K19/14
Filed: 1925-04-23
Abstract: 232,968. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Hull, J. I.). April 23, 1924, [Convention date]. Alternating-current motors; exciting.-A self - excited synchronous motor starting up as an induction motor and running into synchronism without external devices comprises a polyphase winding 2 fed through slip-rings 5, a commutator winding 1 connected to a polyphase winding 7 and resistances 8 permanently connected across the phases of the winding 7. A permanently connected reactance 9 prevents excessive current at starting from flowing into the commutator winding, which, as the motor runs into synchronism supplies continuous current excitation to the winding 7. The resistances 8 are of such a value that they do not produce excessive slip on heavy loads but allow maximum starting- torque and take little energy when synchronous speed is reached. In the arrangement according to Fig. 2, the stator has separate phase windings 10, 11 in quadrature, each with a permanently connected resistance 8 and functioning as a twophase short-circuited secondary at starting, continuous current excitation being produced in one phase under synchronous conditions. According to the arrangement in Fig. 3, the independent permanently short-circuited stator windings 13 are employed for starting and a separate exciting winding 15 is provided, the windings 13 functioning as dampers during running conditions. The windings 13, 15 are located in slots as shown in Fig. 4, the reactance 9 being dispensed with. Specification 210,936 is referred to.
