Patent EP-1091036-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KELLY THOMAS PETER
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: A method of treating an underfelt comprising felted thermoplastic fibres which comprises
heating at least one surface of the felt sufficiently to soften the fibres, and then passing the felt
through polished callender rollers whereby to callender and quench the softened thermoplastic
surface of the felt to give a glazed finish. Preferably, the rollers are polished stainless steel
rollers, which conveniently may be water cooled to give the best effect. Advantageously, to
give optimum heat transfer, the felt is passed around about 90° of the surface of the roller The
nip of the rollers is used to give control over the initial pressure and final thickness of the felt,
whereas the increased angle of wrap increases the heat transfer and quenching and thus the
glazing effect on the softened thermoplastic fibre surface. The underfelts treated in accordance
with the invention are particularly useful in two distinct areas. Firstly, if the surface is lightly
glazed, achieved by modest application of heat before callendering, the felt, when in place on
the floor, allows a carpet to move more easily when being fitted In a second application,
where more heat and pressure is applied, the surface can be callendered further until it is
highly glazed and is almost impervious. This enables the finished carpet underlay to be stuck
to the floor and for the carpet to be stuck to the underlay.

Abstract: A projector (1000) is provided with an illuminating optical system (100), a color-separating
optical system (200) that separates light into a first through third beam of
colored light, first through third electro-optical devices (300R, 300G, 300B) that modulate
the first through third beams of colored light to generate a first through third beams of
modulated light, a color combiner (520) that combines the first through third beams of
modulated light, and a projecting optical system (540) that projects the composite light. In
addition, the projector (1000) is provided with a λ/2 retardation plate (303R; 303B) which
makes the direction of polarization of the first and third beams of modulated light incident
to the color combiner (520) a first direction of polarization, and makes the direction of
polarization of the second beam of modulated light a second direction of polarization. The
λ/2 retardation plate (300R, 300G, 300B) is provided with one surface open to the
atmosphere and its other surface in contact with a transmissive member (308) that does not
change the direction of polarization, so it is possible to reduce the chrominance

Abstract: A multiple layer fuser belt (112) has a woven fabric
layer (142) and a high conformability, low surface energy
elastic layer (140). The fabric layer (142) is formed from
high modulus, high temperature fibers (146, 148) that are
woven together at acute angles to the circumference of the
belt (see Figure 4). The fabric layer (142) forms a
substrate with preferential stretching along the
circumference of the fuser belt. The elastic layer (140) is
bonded to the fabric layer and is made from a highly
conformable, low durometer material having a low surface
tension. When the fuser belt is partially wrapped around a
driven roller (114) so as to form a nip (120) with a
pressure roller (122) the fuser belt (112) stretches in the
direction of belt motion. As the fuser belt (112) passes
through the nip (120) the fuser belt (112) contracts,
releasing surface tension and thus reducing sticking
between the fuser belt (112) and fused toner (126).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de gestion de présence permettant la gestion des connexions entre parties observantes et parties observées dans un réseau de communications à accès multiple. Lorsque le système de gestion de présence reçoit une demande de contact de la part d'une partie observante, il détermine si la partie observée demandée peut être contactée. Le système produit ensuite les informations correspondantes à la partie observante ayant formulé la demande. Le système de gestion de présence choisit le meilleur mode de communication (ex. courriel ou fax) en tenant compte des préférences des parties observées et des détails relatifs aux installations à la disposition de la partie observée. Si le système de gestion de présence informe la partie observante du fait que la partie observée n'est pas disponible, la partie observante est en mesure de mettre un moniteur en oeuvre. Lors de la détermination du fait que la partie observée demandée peut être contactée, le système de gestion de présence utilise des informations mémorisées relatives à la partie observée, des informations relatives à la connexion requise (ex. taille et type) et aux règles. Par ailleurs, des informations relatives aux événements, en provenance du réseau à accès multiple, sont utilisées, comme par exemple l'emplacement géographique des téléphones mobiles des parties observées. Avantageusement, les parties observées ou les parties observantes peuvent être des groupes ou des agrégats d'individus. Lesdits agrégats sont traités de la même manière que des parties observées ou observantes individuelles. Par exemple, un groupe d'individus possédant un intérêt commun peut se former, de sorte que ces parties observantes soient toutes informées d'un changement d'état d'une ou plusieurs parties observées les intéressant.

Abstract: Considering that MOS transistors on a common integrated
circuit can be controlled in resistance ratio between them with
a relatively high accuracy, a DA converter is improved in accuracy
by replacing resistors required to be accurate with MOS
transistors without inviting an increase of the chip area. That
is, between a high potential reference voltage (VrefH) and a low
potential reference voltage (VrefL), a plurality of MOS
transistors (M1~MN) are connected in series such that they
normally operate in a linear region and at least one turns OFF
during power-down periods of the DA converter. One of partial
voltages (V1~VN) of these MOS transistors (M1~MN) is selected
by switches (SW1~SWN) controlled in ON-OFF motion by a control
signal obtained by decoding a digital input (12) in a decoder
(11), and delivered to an analog output (13), such that an analog
value corresponding to the digital data given from the digital
input (12) is sent out from the analog output 13.
