Title: Cap for containers with cover lid rotating on a transverse horizontal axis snap activated by pushing with a finger or thumb
Inventor: ROSSI LUCA
IPC: G01F11/26
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: Cap for containers with cover lid rotating on a transverse horizontal axis snap
activated by pushing with a finger or thumb, allowing pouring in a single
movement or in subsequent non dosed quantities, where such cap is made up
of two elements and in detail of a first element of the cap with body (1) to be
mounted on the mouth of the container (3), fitted with a cover lid (5),
supported by lateral pins (7) located on a transverse horizontal axis, acting as
hinges for the rotation, fitted with an L-shaped section (10) connected to the
lid along a first weakened line (9) and connected to a stretch of the upper edge
of the body (1) of the cap along a second weakened line (11), in such way that
pushing said L-shaped section (10) toward the inside of the cap one obtains
stable opening of the cap, the closing of which is obtained by means of a
manual thrust; the cap has also a second element made up of a pouring
spout (12) placed off centre so as to correspond with the holding edge (6) of
the cap (5) of the body (1) of the first element of the cap and connected to a
skirt (13) that is almost a truncated cone, fitted with a C-shaped lower sealing
edge (14) on the mouth of the container (3), where the bottom (15) and the
internal side (16) of the pouring spout (12) are open to allow the flow of
liquid leaving the container (3), and where the second element (12) of the cap
is mounted inside the first element.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for keying foreground and background areas of an image or
objects within an image is described. The selected object or area is differentially lit with
key light having a selected characteristic, such as a selected colour property or temporal
variation. A first image is formed of the scene, and a key signal is derived from the image

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for assessing a capability, for example, linearity of an amplifier, such as that of a power amplifier including a radio frequency amplifier. In one embodiment, the method comprises defining a first figure of merit for a power amplifier based on a loss of linearity relative to a predefined linearity requirement for the power amplifier and/or defining a second figure of merit based on the first figure of merit and dependent upon a minimum frequency within a predefined frequency band for the power amplifier, characterizing the linearity thereof. In this manner, using a test setup, for digital mobile communication networks deploying one or more higher order modulation schemes with complex wireless transmission that results in non-constant envelope signals, linearity of power amplifiers in transceivers, such as a mobile station or a base station, may be sufficiently described. Moreover, the two defined figures of merit may be used to compare different amplifiers for these higher modulation schemes, making possible a comparison of different amplifiers independent of their implementation technology or design structure.

Abstract: This invention can handle a communicable state restored from disconnection of a communication line. According to the invention, if the communication line is disconnected while a client terminal 2 requests to acquire a contents attribute file 47 that corresponds to a set of contents data stored in a hard disk and receives the file 47 and subsequently the communication line restores a communicable state, the client terminal 2 requests accounting status notification information to a portal server 4 and receives accounting status notification images 15 and 16 transmitted to it in response so that it can be notified if the accounting process had been completed by the time when the communication was disconnected while receiving the contents attribute file 47 and subsequently the communication line restored a communicable state by accounting status notification information so that it can reliably handle the situation that arises when the communication line restores a communicable state from disconnection.

Abstract: In a feeder circuit for operating a safety device of an elevator, a charging capacitor for actuating an actuator through discharge is employed. A failure detecting device for detecting the presence or absence of a capacitance shortage of a charging capacitor is also electrically connected to the feeder circuit. The failure detecting device has a memory in which a lower limit and upper limit of a charging time at the time when the charging capacitor is in normal operation are stored, and a CPU which is capable of measuring the charging time of the charging capacitor and detects whether or not the charging time is between the lower limit and the upper limit. When the charging time is between the lower limit and the upper limit, the CPU determines that there is no capacitance shortage of the charging capacitor.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions d'alliages de stockage d'hydrogène thermique et électrochimique qui engendrent une efficacité accrue, notamment, un alliage de stockage d'hydrogène électrochimique qui présente des caractéristiques supérieures de décharge à basse température. Ces compositions d'alliages comprennent des microstructures dans la zone d'interface qui sont extrêmement poreuses et qui contiennent des particules métalliques catalytiques. Ces microstructures renferment une fraction volumique importante de vides ayant des formes similaires à des sphères ou des canaux et elles sont suffisamment ouvertes structurellement pour faciliter une mobilité plus importante des espèces réactives au sein de la microstructure et dans le voisinage de particules métalliques catalytiques. Une accessibilité plus grande aux sites réactifs est ainsi obtenue, selon les résultats. La mobilité plus importante des espèces réactives et/ou la densité supérieure des particules catalytiques débouchent sur une cinétique plus rapide et une efficacité accrue (par exemple, une puissance plus élevée), notamment, à des températures de fonctionnement basses. Les microstructures peuvent être formées par le biais de l'inclusion d'un élément de réglage de microstructure dans la composition d'alliages, par le biais de la commande des conditions de traitement et/ou de l'introduction d'étapes de gravure dans le traitement de post-formation des alliages de stockage d'hydrogène.
