Title: Method and apparatus for producing sheet members
Inventor: MIZOTA YASUO
IPC: B29K21/00
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: An integral sheet member is produced by repeating the steps of
feeding a predetermined amount of sheet material (22) to a conveyor (58)
from a feed position (P) on one side of the conveyor, cutting the sheet
material to form a preceding strip which is transferred by the conveyor,
and joining a leading end of a successive strip to a trailing end of the
preceding strip. According to the invention, the preceding sheet strip has a
transfer path which is branched into at least two directions, thereby
forming at least two types of preceding strips. The leading end of the
succeeding strip is joined to the trailing end of the preceding strip of a
selected type, thereby allowing at least two kinds of sheet members (66) to
be produced continuously and highly efficiently, with an improved
manufacturing flexibility.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fuel assembly (1) for a nuclear
boiling water reactor. The fuel assembly (1) comprises a
plurality of fuel rods (3a, 3b, 3c) which comprise enriched
nuclear fuel material. A part of said fuel rods are full
length fuel rods (3a, 3c) which extend from essentially a
first level located in a lower part of the fuel assembly (1)
to essentially a second level located in an upper part of
the fuel assembly (1). Another part of said fuel rods are
part length fuel rods (3b) which extend essentially from
said first level and upwards but do not reach as high up in
the fuel assembly (1) as the full length fuel rods (3a, 3c).
At least a part of the full length fuel rods (3c), which are
arranged closest to part length fuel rods (3b), comprise
nuclear fuel material with an average enrichment in the
upper part of the fuel rod (3c) which is lower than an
average enrichment in the lower part of the fuel rod (3c).

Abstract: This rocket motor propellant grain is designed to reduce recession of at least the converging portion of a converging/diverging rocket motor nozzle. The propellant grain has an oxidizer-deficient grain portion constructed and arranged in relation to the nozzle to create, upon ignition of the propellant, a boundary layer of oxygen-deficient combustion products that flows through the nozzle throat passage and over an internal surface region of the nozzle. The boundary layer functions to at least substantially isolate the internal surface region of the nozzle from oxidizers contained in the combustion products generated from portions of the propellant grain having higher concentrations of oxygen than the oxidizer-deficient grain portion. As a result, the oxygen-rich portions of the propellant are unable to react with and thereby cause recession of the nozzle internal surface.

Abstract: In a video signal processing device, an input video signal VO
representing a test pattern having two gradations of black and
white is converted to 8-bit data by an AID converter 4 in
synchronism with sampling clocks generated in a write-in control
circuit 5, and then stored in a memory 6. An MPU 9 reads out
picture element data in an effective area of the video signal
stored in the memory 6, and calculates the difference AT between
the average value of white-level picture element data whose
values are larger than a predetermined value and the average
value of black-level picture element data whose values are
smaller than a predetermined value, and the total variance VT
between the variance of the white-level picture element data and
the variance of the black-level picture element data. The MPU 9
controls the phase of the sampling clocks generated in the write-in
control circuit 5 so that the AT is maximum and the VT is
minimum. With this operation, the sampling phase can be
automatically adjusted to the optimum value when the video
signal is converted to digital data.

Abstract: When controlling operation of heaters (3 1 ,3 2 ,3 3 ) or coolers provided
in a plurality of thermal control objects (2 1 ,2 2 ,2 3 ), the priority for
turning on the heaters or the coolers set based on temperature
and speed of temperature response of the thermal control
objects (2 1 ,2 2 ,2 3 ) is used to turn on a heater or cooler with higher
priority and turn off a heater or cooler with lower priority,
such that the sum of energy required for operating the heaters
and the coolers does not exceed a predetermined value.
Consequently, it is possible to reduce the peak energy (maximum
energy) generated when a plurality of heaters and coolers are
simultaneously turned on, thereby decreasing an affect on an
energy supply system.

Abstract: The wind regulator is connected directly to the organ blower exit opening, which is covered by a flap (4) and an escape channel (5). A roll valve (2) is joined to the flap by two connecting rods (3), and to the bellows (8) via a cable (7) or lever. The imperfect seal causes the bellows to fall slightly, opening the roll valve until the leakage is equalised. The escape channel is used to equalise air leakage when the flap is kept closed by the rods. As the organ is played, the bellows fall even further and the roll valve is opened more, causing the flap to open.

Abstract: A method and system for determining a tool center point (TCP) (20) for a beam tool (23)
involves the use of a specially designed aperture (40) and a light sensing device (60). The method
includes the step of oscillating the tool (23) across an aperture assembly (40) such that light from the
tool (23) periodically passes through the aperture assembly (40). Center point coordinate information
is then determined based on passage of the light through the aperture assembly (40). The method
further provides for calculating the TCP based on the center point coordinate information.
These steps are repeated for a plurality of tool orientations. The calibration system (30) includes
an aperture assembly (40) having an aperture for allowing light from a beam tool to pass from
a first side of aperture assembly to a second side of the aperture assembly. The calibration
system further includes a light sensing device (60) for capturing an image of the second side of
the aperture assembly (40). The light sensing device (60) generates a signal corresponding to passage
of the light to the second side of the aperture assembly (40). Passing the light through the
aperture assembly (40) in a controlled fashion enables the TCP to be determined without skilled
labor, manual processes, or significant expense.
