Abstract: L'invention concerne un outil de serrage, en particulier un serre-joint comportant une zone de serrage comprise entre une première mâchoire de serrage (1), qui est mobile et repose à l'extrémité d'une barre de traction ou de coulissement, et une seconde mâchoire de serrage (2), qui est fixe et repose sur un boîtier. Ledit outil de serrage comporte également une manette (10) oscillante placée, par rapport au sens longitudinal de la barre de traction, à l'opposé de la mâchoire de serrage (2) fixe et à côté d'une poignée qui est située du côté boîtier. Lorsque l'on amène ladite manette contre la poignée, la barre de traction peut être déplacée pas à pas, en étant maintenue par une contre-pression, de telle sorte que la première mâchoire de serrage, mobile, est déplacée en direction de la seconde mâchoire de serrage, fixe. Cet outil comprend également un levier de libération placé sur le boîtier et servant à éliminer le blocage par contre-pression. Pour que le champ d'utilisation de ce serre-joint soit élargi, il est prévu qu'aussi bien la manette (10) que le levier de libération (15) soient disposés sur le côté de la poignée (33) opposé à la zone de serrage (1, 2), que les rapports de transmission du levier se modifient lorsque la force de serrage augmente, pour donner des courses de déplacement plus petite, et que la mâchoire de serrage mobile puisse être ramenée à son point de départ pas à pas, par actionnement du levier de libération (15).

Title: A mobile radio communication system, communication apparatus applied in mobile radio communication system, and mobile radio communication method
Inventor: MURAI HIDESHI
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 1999-03-04
Granted: 2004-11-30
Abstract: In the mobile radio communication system where the UMTS and an another system coexist an idle slot for observing the frequency component of another system is inserted in one superframe of UMTS. The duration of this idle slot is at most half of the duration of one frame that form the superframe and it is inserted at an interval of a specified number of frames. Therefore, the frequency component of the another system can be observed securely from the UMTS. Further, deterioration of interleaving performance of the compressed mode frames during such observation can be suppressed.

Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A mass spectrometer having an ion reflecting instead of ion transmissive optics system. The spectrometer includes an ion source (16) for providing a beam of sample particles including ions along an axis (24).

Granted: 2007-10-09
Abstract: Circuitry for a node of an optical communication network has a mux and/or a demux. In one embodiment, the circuitry has a mux and a demux implemented on a single circuit board, where (1) the mux is configured to combine up to eight different incoming OC3/OC12-rate electrical signals into a single outgoing OC48-rate electrical signal for conversion into two copies of an outgoing OC48 optical signal and (2) the demux is configured to split a working incoming OC48-rate electrical signal (selected from two incoming OC48-rate electrical signals converted from two incoming OC48 optical signals) into up to eight different outgoing OC3/OC12-rate electrical signals. The node is configured to perform automatic signal provisioning, which may be (a) the addition of a new OC3/OC12 signal; (b) the deletion of an existing OC3/OC12 signal; (c) the rate-upgrading of an existing OC3 signal to an OC12 signal; or (d) the rate-downgrading of an existing OC12 signal to an OC3 signal. When adding a new OC12 signal or rate-upgrading an existing OC3 signal, the node automatically determines how to move existing OC3/OC 12 signals within the OC48 frame in order to accommodate the new OC12 signal. The node automatically communicates with the other node corresponding to the provisioned signal to automatically initiate corresponding signal provisioning at the other node.
