Patent EP-1798540-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KOBAYASHI FUMITOSHI
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 2001-12-25
Abstract: A deposit detector in which deposit on a detection surface has a surface shape effect, and generation of a flashing phenomenon caused by irregular reflection of the light incident on the deposit from the outside is estimated. In a deposit detection mode, light emitted from a light source (10) for total reflection and total-reflected from the detection surface is received by a light-receiving element unit (50). Each element is disposed at such an angle that the light undergoes total reflection when no deposit is present or the condition of total reflection is not satisfied when deposit is present. Further, in a light-scattering deposit detection mode, light emitted from a scattering light source (20) and scattered by the detection surface is received by the light-receiving element unit (50). In an extraneous light quantity increase detection mode, extraneous light is received by the light-receiving element unit (50). Light detection signal generated while changing the mode is analyzed by a deposit estimation unit (60), and deposition of rain drops and increase in incident extraneous light quantity are detected to estimate generation of irregular reflection (flashing phenomenon) caused by the shape effect of deposit.

Abstract: The dead storage of recorded programs stored in a storage device of a recording/reproducing apparatus is minimized to achieve an effective use of the recorded programs. 
     At power-on, the recording/reproducing apparatus (1a) endlessly reproduces the recorded programs from a HDD (15) till power-off, while giving priority to the control of video recording and reproducing operations. A reproducing start position controller (17a) overwritably stores the reproducing end position of the endless reproducing at power-off, and sets the reproducing start position of the next endless reproducing to the previous by stored reproducing end position. When a free channel is selected as a receiver channel, a monitor output controller (9) provides monitor outputs of the recorded program subjected to the endless reproducing instead of outputting signals received on the free channel, whereby the recorded program is displayed.

Abstract: A turbine engine (10) includes a first turbine structure (12) that supports a seal (14). The seal (14) is movable within a recess (36) of the first turbine structure (12). The seal (14) is arranged in close proximity to a seal land (16) of a second turbine structure for preventing a fluid from leaking past the seal (14) and seal land (16). A thermal expansion member (38) interconnects the first turbine structure (12) and the seal (14). The thermal expansion member (38) expands in response to an increase in temperature to move the seal (14) toward the seal land (16) preventing the typical enlarged gap (20) between the seal (14) and seal land (16) resulting from thermal growth. In one example, the thermal expansion member (38), which is arranged at each opposing end (22) of a seal segment (15a), is a bimetallic coil spring (38) supported on the first turbine structure (12) by a cage (24). A free end (32) of the coil spring (38) is secured to the seal (14) at the opposing end portions (22).

Title: Method for servicing air-conditioning systems, and container for carrying out said method
Inventor: SCHMIDT ANDRE
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2007-08-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for filling a fluid (2) into the cooling circuit (1) of air-conditioning systems, in particular into those of motor vehicle air-conditioning systems, in which method the fluid (2) which is to be filled in is stored at approximately atmospheric pressure in a container (3), in which method a filling line (11) is connected to the cooling circuit (1), which filling line (11) can be connected by means of an initially closed valve (10) to a riser line (7) which dips into the fluid (2) which is to be filled in, in which method the filling line (11) is then evacuated, and in which method the valve (10) is subsequently opened such that the fluid (2) which is stored under approximately atmospheric pressure rises through the riser line (7) into the evacuated filling line (11). The invention is based on the problem of preventing the undesired infiltration of moisture into the cooling circuit (1). In order to solve said problem, the fluid (2) which is stored in the container (3) is closed off in an air-tight fashion by means of a cover (4) which is in contact with the fluid (2). The air-tight closure prevents moisture from the atmosphere from infiltrating into the cooling circuit (1) via the hygroscopic fluid (2).

Title: Latch for vehicles
Inventor: BERGHAHN JOERG
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 2007-10-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a latch that comprises a lock and a closing part (10). Said lock comprises a catch (15), a click (20) equipped with an adjusting arm (21) and a motorised opening aid (30). Said catch (15) comprises a receiving element for the closing part (10) and at least one stop notch (17) for engaging the click (20). The opening aid (30) is equipped with an eccentric (40) that is driven by a motor, whereby the eccentric curve interacts with a lateral adjusting surface of the adjusting arm (21) and ensures that the clink (20) is displaced in a motorised manner from its locked position in the stop notch (17) into an elevated position. In order to prevent problems in the latch, an end segment (42) of the eccentric (40) and/or the adjusting arm (21) of the clink (20) is elastic. When in the elevated position, the clink (20) is on a fixed stop (18), performing an elastic deformation (59) when passing the eccentric end segment (42) on the adjusting arm (21) of the clink (20), until an end-sided shoulder of the eccentric (40) catches behind a counter shoulder on the adjusting arm (21). After catching, the eccentric shoulder is supported on the clink counter shoulder and prevents the eccentric (40) from reversing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant l'amplification simultanée de cibles multiples de faible abondance dans des échantillons environnementaux. Ceci est un processus à deux étapes qui comprend une étape de préamplification et de transcription inverse combinées, qui utilise un mélange d'ensembles d'amorces spécifiques à un gène, suivie par une seconde étape d'amplification réalisée sur le produit à 'amplification-RT' généré précédemment. Une amplification initiale de chaque cible est réalisée avant la séparation de l'échantillon pour une amplification et une identification individuelles. Le procédé combine le processus de transcription inverse et d'amplification dans un appareil de traitement unique. Le procédé active également une transcription inverse spécifique à un gène à l'aide d'amorces spécifiques à un gène, réduisant de ce fait (voire éliminant) un produit non spécifique dans cette étape de transcription inverse du processus.
