Abstract: A lightweight folding lounge chair easily folded from its open seating position to a
flat planar configuration featuring an outer frame of a generally oval shape, tilted at
an upward angle to support a fabric panel shaped to form a backrest and seat, wherein
said outer, frame is supported at the tilted upward angle by three or more V shaped
legs with each V shaped leg attached pivotally to the frame in two places (at the top
of each of the arms of the V shaped legs) so as to allow each V shaped leg to fold into the
same plane as the outer frame, two of the V shaped legs each having one arm
crossing another arm of the other V shaped leg and a third V shaped leg having a single
rod extending from the apex of the third V shaped leg and detachably intersecting with
the crossing of said two V shaped legs, said single rod being used to lock the structure of
the chair into the seating position, or when detached, allowing the structure to collapse
into a flat planar configuration.

Abstract: Time elapsed from the time when the sensor cover is opened and
power supply to the fingerprint sensor is turned from off to on is counted and
when there is no fingerprint image read-in command within a specified
period of time power supply to the fingerprint sensor is turned off. Even if
power supply to the fingerprint sensor is turned off, when a fingerprint image
read-in command executes power supply to the fingerprint sensor is turned
on and read-in of a fingerprint image commences. If a fingerprint image
read-in command executes when the sensor cover is closed, that command is
invalidated. In such a configuration, the opening and closing of a sensor
cover works in synchronicity with on/off control of power supply for a
fingerprint sensor and even when the sensor cover is open, wasteful
electricity consumption through power supply continuing if the fingerprint
sensor is not used within a specified period of time is prevented.

Abstract: Spinning lathe (100) comprises an upper support (40), a lower support (50) and an additional auxiliary support (30) aligned on the upper support. A pressure roller holder (20) and pressure roller (22) are mounted on the auxiliary support. The auxiliary support is connected to the upper support by a piston-cylinder arrangement (32) with a path sensor (34) for measurement of their relative position and delivery of a corresponding signal to a control unit. Thus over-determination of the system is prevented. <??>The control unit for the X-coordinate continuously receives the current position of the print roll, even when this is pushed slightly within the auxiliary support. Thus the auxiliary support can be used to regulate the deformation force on the print roll at every position on the workpiece (1). <??>The invention also relates to a corresponding method for smoothing or polishing the surface of a workpiece with a spinning lathe.

IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: A time-spreading and wavelength-hopping optical encoder
spreads each pulse in a modulated optical pulse signal into
a predetermined pulse train including pulses with different
wavelengths. The last pulse in the pulse train is delayed
from the first pulse in the pulse train by an interval
longer than the pulse period of the modulated optical pulse
signal. Interference is avoided by dividing the pulse train
into successive delay groups equal in length to the pulse
period of the modulated data pulse signal, and having each
wavelength appear in only one delay group. If encoders
producing differently structured pulse trains are used in an
optical multiplexer, interference is avoided by having the
same wavelength appear only at different positions within
the delay groups of different pulse trains. Long delays can
be used to multiplex a relatively large number of channels,
even at high transmission rates.

Abstract: A microwave oven (10) includes two doors (20,30) which primarily and secondarily prevent a leakage of microwaves from a cooking cavity (11) during a cooking operation. A first door (20) is rotatably hinged to a front wall of a cabinet (10) of the microwave oven, so as to open and close an opening of the cooking cavity (11) and primarily prevent the leakage of the microwaves from the cooking cavity. A second door (30) is rotatably mounted to the cabinet in front of the first door (20) to cover and uncover the front of the first door. The second door thus secondarily intercepts the microwaves which have leaked from the cooking cavity through a gap between the first door and the cabinet. The microwave oven effectively prevents almost all leakage of the microwaves from the cooking cavity during the cooking operation.

Abstract: Mirroring data to provide a virtual storage area network using policing protocols and mirror engines without a physical shared storage node. The mirror engines are found at each server computer in the network in order to mirror the data between mass storage devices of the servers as the servers receive and execute write operations, which results in each mass storage device containing the same stored data. The policing protocols prevent data corruption by not allowing more than one server at a time write to a file of data. If one server experiences failure and is incapable of providing access to network data, the other server or servers can service all read requests, since all network data is accessible by all servers. Unlike conventional storage area networks, there is no physical shared storage node and, accordingly, the costs of obtaining and operating the virtual storage area network are relatively small.
