Title: Interface pour sac d'aspirateur a flux regule
Inventor: EMBREE MICHAEL E
IPC: A47L9/14
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de transport d'un flux d'air et de particules dans un aspirateur (10). Ledit appareil peut comprendre un collecteur (50) dont les deux orifices (53) d'entrée collectent deux parties séparées du flux, combinent lesdites parties, et dirigent le flux combiné vers un élément (80) de filtrage via un seul orifice (59) de sortie. Le flux peut se dilater à l'intérieur du collecteur (50) entre les orifices d'entrée (53) et de sortie (59), ce qui permet de ralentir le flux. Le collecteur (50) peut également comprendre un récipient de stockage destiné au rangement d'une courroie (141), utilisée pour entraîner la brosse (140) à rouleaux de l'aspirateur (10).

Abstract: A process of producing a shaped article suitable for use as an automotive body panel intended for finishing by painting and, if necessary, baking. The process comprises obtaining a sheet article made of an aluminum alloy of the 2000 or 6000 series in a T4 or T4P temper and that exhibits an increase in hardness after painting and optionally baking, shaping the sheet article by forming to produce an intermediate shaped article, and subjecting the intermediate shaped article to a thermal spiking treatment prior to painting and optionally baking. The thermal spiking treatment involves heating the intermediate shaped article from ambient temperature to a temperature in a range of 150 to 300  DEG C with or without holding at that temperature for a period of time to enhance the increase in hardness.

Abstract: A method of transmitting frequency modulated data signals over a digital mobile phone network which filters the transmitted data signals is disclosed. The method includes the step of providing original said frequency modulated data signals with more than one frequency, whereby the frequency modulated data signals having more than one frequency are preferably also modulated in amplitude.  In one form, the frequency modulated data signals having more than one frequency is achieved by generating a pseudo random sequence which does not overlap the frequency band of the FM data signals and mixing the sequence with the original data frequency modulated signals, whereby the pseudo random sequence has a lower frequency band than that of the original data frequency modulated signals.

IPC: H01J31/12
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: A lateral-emitter field emission device has a gate (30) that is separated by an insulating layer (40) from a vacuum- or gas-filled environment containing other elements of the device. For example, the gate may be disposed external to a microchamber (110). The insulating layer is disposed such that there is no vacuum- or gas-filled path to the gate for electrons that are emitted from a lateral emitter. The insulating layer disposed between the emitter and the gate preferably comprises a material having a dielectric constant greater than one. The insulating layer also preferably has a low secondary electron yield over the device's operative range of electron energies. For display applications, the insulating layer is preferably transparent. Emitted electrons are confined to the microchamber containing their emitter. Thus, the gate current component of the emitter current consists of displacement current only, and direct electron current from the emitter to the gate is prevented. An array of the devices comprises an array of microchamber, so that electron current from each emitter can reach only the anode in the same microchamber, even for diode devices lacking a gate electrode. A fabrication process is specially adapted for fabricating the device and arrays of such devices, including formation in situ of a vacuum microchamber.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé visant à déterminer une similarité dans de courts segments d'un texte. Ce procédé permet de définir une similarité qui est appropriée pour de petits segments (100) du texte. De petits segments de texte sont comparés de façon à déterminer s'il existe des caractéristiques primitives communes telles que des mots, des syntagmes nominaux, des synonymes, des verbes avec une classe sémantique commune, des noms propres et analogues (105). A partir de l'identification des caractéristiques primitives, les petits segments du texte sont évalués pour déterminer s'il existe des caractéristiques composites (110). Ces caractéristiques composites sont définies sous forme de relations prédéterminées entre des caractéristiques primitives. Les caractéristiques primitives et composites communes sont appliquées sous forme d'entrées à un algorithme d'apprentissage de machine approprié qui est testé pour déterminer une mesure de similarité à partir des caractéristiques primitives et composites communes aux segments (115) du texte.

IPC: A61M1/10
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: A turbo blood pump includes a housing 1, an impeller 5 rotatably
disposed in a pumping chamber 2, bearings 9 and 10 for rotatably supporting
the impeller, a rotor 13 provided outside the housing and rotationally driven
by a motor, driven magnets 12 mounted on the impeller, and driving magnets
16 mounted on the rotor. The driven magnets and the driving magnets face
each other via a wall of the housing to form magnetic coupling. The driven
magnets and the driving magnets are arranged so that a direction of the
magnetic coupling inclines with respect to a rotation axis of the impeller.
The pump ensures sufficiently strong magnetic coupling between an impeller
and a rotor and effects reduced load on a lower bearing supporting the
impeller and little risk of hemolysis and blood stagnation.
