IPC: G11B7/24085
Filed: 2000-04-25
Granted: 2004-03-04
Abstract: There are provided an optical disk and a manufacturing method thereof which can increase its recording capacity, e.g. to 15 GB or higher. This optical disk may comprises an optical disk substrate 3 in which successive pits corresponding to a recording signal are formed, a reflection film 4 formed in this optical disk substrate 3 on its surface that successive pits 2 are formed and a light transmissive layer 5 formed on this reflection film 4. When a recorded signal is read out, i.e. reproduced from the optical disk, a signal recorded as successive pits is read out by irradiating of short-wavelength laser light having a wavelength of 350 nm to 420 nm from the side of the light transmissive layer 5 formed on the surface of the optical disk.   Moreover, in this optical disk, when the successive pits are observed from the side of the light transmissive layer irradiated by reproducing laser light, the successive pits contain pits having length and width ranging from 80 nm to 250 nm, and the reflection film has the film thickness selected to be 20 nm or less, e.g. greater than 8 nm. <IMAGE>

Title: Phacoemulsification probe circuit with switch drive means
Inventor: KEPLEY KEVIN PAUL
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1993-09-03
Granted: 1996-08-01
Abstract: A drive for a phacoemulsification probe (13) includes a drive circuit (15) for supplying electrical power to the probe (13), circuitry (29) for sensing the electrical power supplied by the drive circuit (15) to the probe (13) and for supplying electrical signals indicative of the magnitude of the electrical power supplied. A manually operable input device (21) provides a signal indicative of the transducer power level desired by the user of the probe (13). A control circuit is responsive to the signal indicative of the desired transducer power level and to the signals indicative of the magnitude of the supplied electrical power for providing control signals to the drive circuit (15) to control the power applied in an efficient manner. The drive circuit (15) includes a totem-pole switch (31), responsive to at least one of the control signals, to apply power in a square-wave waveform, and a switching regulator (27) for supplying a supply voltage to the totem-pole switch (31). The totem-pole switch (31) has circuitry associated therewith which is responsive to one of the control signals to initially vary the frequency of the square-wave waveform. The regulator (27) is responsive to a second control signal (A) from the control circuit to vary the voltage supplied by the regulator (27) to the totem-pole switch (31) to control the amplitude of the square-wave waveform. The switching nature of this system substantially minimizes the power consumption of the drive circuit (15) as compared with conventional techniques. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-672997-B2 (AU)
Title: Smart blind spot sensor
Inventor: PAKETT ALLAN G
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1993-08-09
Granted: 1996-10-24
Abstract: A radar system for sensing the presence of obstacles in a vehicle's "blind spots" and generating a signal to the vehicle operator indicative of the presence of such an obstacle. The system uses a common radar transceiver that transmits a radio frequency signal directed at a blind spot of the vehicle. The signal is reflected off any obstacles that are present in that blind spot region. A Doppler shift in the received reflected frequency generally indicates that an obstacle has moved into the blind spot. Doppler frequencies attributable to objects which are of no interest, such as stationary objects, are filtered out. Only obstacles that are traveling at approximately the same speed and direction as the vehicle are considered to be of interest, and will cause the blind spot sensor to generate an indication that an obstacle is present in the blind spot. The indication is preferably an unobtrusive illuminated indicator which is affixed to one of the vehicle's mirrors. In addition to the illuminated indicator affixed to a mirror, an obtrusive audible indicator is provided in the preferred embodiment of the present invention which creates an audible tone, whistle, or buzz when an obstacle is present and the vehicle's turn signal is active.

Patent AU-732170-B2 (AU)
Title: Method for simultaneously controlling and programming a plurality of transponders and device for implementing this method
Inventor: PAGNOL FREDERIC
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1997-12-04
Granted: 2001-04-12
Abstract: The method involves using an external transmitter to transmit energy (1) to a group of read and write transponders. After a time delay (TRR) the transponders emit identification signals (2-3,4-5) through allocated time windows. An external receiver receives the signals during the first window and determines if there is dispersion. If there is dispersion the supply of transmitted energy is interrupted quickly enough to deactivate all the transponders. Energy transmission is resumed and if no transponder signal dispersion is now detected, a window of reception is used to send groups of data to the transponders which are simultaneously programmed into their memories.

Title: Process for making a possibly flat synthetic resin moulded block and preform for use in such a process
IPC: B27K3/04
Filed: 1990-04-27
Granted: 1993-01-14
Abstract: In a process for making a synthetic resin moulded block from fibres containing cellulose like wood fibres and a condensation resin binder like phenolic resin, for the continuous production of a mould blank or plate, a layer (19) of the viscous binder is applied on a web-like conveyor (2), especially a paper impregnated with phenolic resin, and a fibrous mass is then applied to it in the form of a fibre cake (20). A second coated web of conveyor material (7) is then continuously laid upon the fibrous mass with the coating of binder (26) downwards, whereafter the laminated structure (27) thus obtained is heated and compressed in a heated strip press (10), whereby the binder is distributed generally uniformly on the porous volume of the laminated structure. After the compressed laminated structure (27') has cooled it is used as the preform for the production of high-pressure moulded blocks. In another embodiment of the process, the laminated structure may be directly converted into a synthetic resin moulded block by increasing the pressure, pressing temperature and the time in the strip press with the curing of the binder.

Title: Powder injection system for detonation-operated projection gun
Inventor: LANDABURU JULIAN DE JUAN
IPC: B05B7/20
Filed: 1998-01-23
Granted: 2003-06-05
Abstract: The powder injection system is comprised of a dosing chamber (2) which is directly supplied by a conventional powder supplier (7) and communicates with the barrel (1) of the detonation gun through a direct conduit (5). Thus, the pressure wave which progresses through the barrel (1) enters through the communication conduits (5) and, when reaching the dosing chamber (2), is subjected to a sudden expansion which stops the powder supply from the continuous supplier (7) and produces the complete fluidification of the powder contained in the dosing chamber (2). The fluidized powder will then be entrained by suction up to the barrel (1) where it resides until the pressure wave generated in a new detonation cycle entrains said powder to deposit it to the surface of the part to be coated. <IMAGE>
