Patent EP-1186827-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FRIESTAD MICHAEL E
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: The present invention allows an additional connection to a standard
medical gas cylinder valve such as a CGA-870 valve. An additional connection (108)
may be used for filling a cylinder without removing the pressure reducer,
simultaneous filling while drawing through the pressure reducer, or for any other
purpose that requires an additional or non-standard connection to the cylinder.
The additional connection will be through an adapter that screws into the burst
disc port (104). Some gas cylinder valves have the burst disc center line closer to the
outlet centerline. This close centerline may be accommodated by offsetting the
access of the first and second port to provide clearances required.

Abstract: A plunger (14) equipped with a relief valve mechanism
(28) is slidably mounted in a tensioner housing (12). The
relief valve mechanism has a valve spring (38) disposed between
a valve (32) and a spring retainer plug (36) in a compressed
condition. The spring retainer plug has a stopper surface (44)
formed on the side which opposes the valve. The maximum
displacement of the valve and the maximum amount of compression
of the valve spring are defined by the stopper surface so that
the maximum shear stress acting in a wire of the valve spring is
less than a fatigue limit of the valve spring wire.

Niederspannungsebene des Bordnetzes mittels eines Spannungsbegrenzers solange auf dem
Niederspannungswert geklemmt wird, bis ein Batterietrennschalter in der Hochspannungsebene

Abstract: A peripheral device reliably reports errors to a main
device. When a control signal is received from the main
device, an interface circuit requests a voltage detecting
circuit to determine whether or not a main circuit section is
operative. The voltage detecting circuit determines the
capability of operation of the main circuit section based on
the state of charge of a charging/discharging section, and
outputs the results to the interface circuit. If determined
to be operative, the interface circuit turns on a power supply
switch to operate the main circuit section, while outputting
the control signal received from the main device to the main
circuit section. If inoperative, the interface circuit
transmits to the main device a signal informing it of the
inoperative state.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for extruding
polymer blend resin which is capable of satisfying performances
which are necessary as a resin-coated metal can even when the
resin-coated metal can is produced through an extremely stringent
working such as drawing, deep drawing, bend-elongation by drawing,
stretching or ironing. After feeding thermoplastic resin A to
a twin screw extruder through a first raw material feed port (5) of
the extruder, the thermoplastic resin A is plasticized in a molten
state and is subjected to degassing under reduced pressure.
Thereafter, thermoplastic resin B whose melting temperature or
softening temperature is lower than a melting temperature or
a softening temperature of the thermoplastic resin A is fed to
the extruder through a second raw material feed port (20). Assuming
Lb as a length of a blending zone and D as a screw diameter of
the extruder, the thermoplastic resin B is blended with the
thermoplastic resin A in the blending zone of Lb/D = 0.5 to 5.0
and the blend resin is extruded from the extruder.

Abstract: The invention carries out appropriate travel control so that a vehicle travels
along recognized lane markings, and at the same time, prevents making the driver feel
discomfort during travel control. In the case that the white line recognition becomes not
possible, the delay time TD is shortened depending on a previous continuous time
interval of a recognition state. In the case that the white line recognition flag becomes
possible, the delay time TD is extended depending on the previous continuous time
interval. In the case that the count value of the ON time measuring counter TON is
equal to or greater than the delay time TD and the white line recognizing is possible, the
compensation control is permitted, and reversion to the ON state of the travel control
based on recognized white lines is permitted.

substantially parallel flat end-faces (34, 36) to ensure that high quality meat
slices (30) are generated therefrom. The chubs (26) are then transported to

need for manual handling thereof. This is enabled due to the well-formed
stacks (12) generated by the harping station (20) which allows the stacks

Abstract: An RF-MEMS device includes a substrate, a coplanar line arranged on the substrate, a
movable element disposed above the coplanar line, and a movable electrode arranged on the
movable element so as to face the coplanar line. The movable element includes a high-resistivity
semiconductor functioning as an insulator for an RF signal and functioning as an electrode for a
low-frequency signal and a DC signal. Electrostatic attraction caused by a DC voltage applied
between the movable element functioning as the electrode and a fixed electrode displaces the
movable element towards the fixed electrode, thereby varying the capacitance between the movable
electrode and the coplanar line. The movable element made of a high-resistivity semiconductor has
dielectric loss characteristics in which the dielectric loss decreases as the frequency of a signal
increases, thus readily reducing the dielectric loss of an RF signal.
