Patent EP-0802270-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BROWN GEOFFREY THOMAS
IPC: D03D51/02
Filed: 1997-04-08
Abstract: Weaving apparatus comprises a warp beam (16) bearing warp
threads (30), a loom on which the warp threads are woven with
weft threads, and a take-up roller (52) for taking up the
woven material. The loom is powered by a main loom
motor (42). Either or both of the take-up roller and the warp
beam are controlled by switched reluctance motors (18,56). The
switched reluctance motor is able to maintain correct
tension in the warp threads or the woven material without
generating excessive heat in maintaining a desired
position.

IPC: B60C11/13

Abstract: A pneumatic tire capable of obtaining a high tire
performance on ice without decreasing the other performances
can be provided. A plurality of narrow grooves each having a
rectangular cross section are formed on one sipe side wall
surface of a sipe in an inclined manner at a certain angle. Even
when the sipe is closed under a load application to the tire,
portions having the narrow grooves are not brought into contact
with the other sipe side wall surface of the sipe so that water
on an ice road surface can be absorbed and removed by the narrow
grooves. Further, in the case of the narrow groove in which
one end is opened to a road contact surface portion and the other
end is opened to a side surface, the absorbed water can be
continuously discharged to an outside of a block in serial order
so that the water on the ice road surface can be further removed.
Since the water removal can be performed without a great number
of sipes, a decrease of a block rigidity due to employing a great
number of sipes does not occur.

Abstract: A printing system (10) includes a replaceable cartridge (20)
for housing a supply (26) of consumable marking media. The
cartridge (20) includes a cartridge memory (28) for recording
printing system-related parameters, including marking media
parameters. A replaceable printing device (12), such as an ink
jet head, includes a printhead memory (16) for recording printing
device-related parameters. A processor (34,35) is coupled to the
cartridge memory (28), the printhead memory (16) and is
responsive to parameters read from both memories (28,16) to
derive printing system function control values that are dependent
upon one or more marking media parameters from the cartridge
memory (28) and one or more parameters from the printhead memory
(16). The processor (34,35) is thus able (in the case of an ink
jet printing system (10)) to determine a current ink supply
value from a cumulative usage value stored on the cartridge
memory (28) and a drop volume parameter stored on the printhead
memory (16). Further, a drop volume parameter stored on the
printhead memory (16) can be adjusted to accommodate a media type
sensed by a media sensor (30).

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing solution of a semiconductor substrate
which comprises 0.0001 to 0.1 % by weight of an organic
acid and 0.005 to 0.25 % by weight of hydrofluoric
acid and has pH of 2 to 4. When a contaminated substrate is
immersed in a washing solution, a naturally oxidized film on
the surface of the substrate is removed by hydrofluoric acid,
and fine particles on the film, metal impurities and metal
impurities in the film transfer to the liquid. Since the
washing solution is an acidic solution containing an organic
acid and having pH of 2 to 4, fine particles are charged to
minus as those of the fine particles, and the metal impurities
ions in the liquid becomes minus complex ions due to
complexing effect of the organic acid. As the results, surface
potentials of the respective fine particles and metal
impurities are each minus which is the same as that of surface
potential of the substrate so that adhesion or re-adhesion
to the substrate can be prevented.

Abstract: A vehicle exhaust-gas purifier adapted for use on a
testing line in a repair shop or the like is provided,
wherein exhaust gases emitted from an engine of a vehicle
are gathered directly from the vehicle and emitted into the
environment after being purified. The vehicle exhaust-gas
purifier is provided with a mechanism for preventing
deterioration of catalysts used for reducing gaseous
pollutants in the exhaust gases. The purifier has an
exhaust-gas gathering nozzle A which is detachably connected
to an exhaust pipe of an engine of a vehicle. The exhaust
gases are introduced through the exhaust-gas gathering
nozzle A and an inlet C into a purifier housing. Then, any
carbon particles and unburned fuel mist particles are
removed from the exhaust gases through a filter chamber 10,
and then the major gaseous pollutants, HC, NO x  and CO, are
removed from the exhaust gases through a catalyst chamber 20.
The filter chamber 10 has a filter unit 11 and an
electrostatic dust collecting unit 12 provided therein. Any
carbon particles and unburned fuel accumulated on the
electrostatic dust collecting unit 12 are removed therefrom
in a cleaning chamber 40 so as to refresh the electrostatic

Abstract: In a program data stack in a computer system, every stack is implemented as
two substacks, one to contain references and one to contain primitive data. In this
manner, whether a piece of information on a stack is a reference or a primitive value is
easily determined according to which substack it resides in. Each substack is itself a
full-fledged stack data structure with a stack base, a stack pointer, and a stack limit. In
the preferred embodiment, there is also a frame pointer for each substack. The normal
instruction set is modified so that instructions that operate with references use the
reference stack whereas instructions that operate with data use the primitive data stack.
Specifically, during compilation, or loading, all instructions which can operate
indiscriminately with either references or data are replaced by equivalent, but reference-specific
or data-specific instructions. With this arrangement, garbage collection
algorithms can locate all references stored within a stack, since the references are all in
a more or less contiguous region of memory without interspersed primitive data.

Abstract: A sample handling system comprising: a
transportation line including a combination of plural
partitive line units; and a plurality of handling units,
wherein each of the plural partitive line units and
each of the plurality of handling units form a pair,
and each handling unit is installed removably from its
corresponding partitive line unit. Each handling unit
transmits inoperative information to the
transportation line when it becomes inoperative. The
transportation line transmits this inoperative
information to the central controller. The central
controller monitors handling units at which the sample
rack can stop over. The sample rack avoids stopover at
the inoperative handling unit, but is allowed to advance
to the subsequent handling unit passing through the
partitive line unit which makes a pair with the
inoperative handling unit.

Abstract: A cutting element has a substrate with a non-planar, non-linear
surface bonded to a superhard element. The substrate
provides one or more non-linear grooves radially mounted in
spaced relationships on the surface of the substrate. Each
groove has a generally curved shape that unfurls from a first
circle on the substrate towards a perimeter of the substrate.
The groove shape is defined by complex functions, examples of
which include high order polynomials and involutes. The depth
and width of the groove varies, generally in an increasing
manner, along the path from the first circle towards the
substrate perimeter. Further, the pitch of the groove also
varies along the path from the first circle towards the substrate
perimeter.
