Title: Lining for a tunnel and method for its attachment.
Inventor: JEHLE XAVER
IPC: E21D11/18
Filed: 1994-04-13
Abstract: A lining for a tunnel (10) consists of a multiplicity of individual segments (13). In an advantageous embodiment, the segments (13) extend from the floor (17) almost up to the tunnel roof (19). The segments (13) have a curvature adapted to the tunnel radius. The segments (13) rest on the floor side on supports (21) and are fastened on the roof side to the girders (23) by means of the profiled rails (37). The segments (13) are in releasable engagement with the supports in such a way that they can be pivoted about the support (21) upon assembly or dismantling. The segments (13) are connected in a yielding manner to the supports (21) and girders (23). The temperature-induced expansion or contraction of the segments (13) can thereby be absorbed. The joints between the segments (13) are sealed off watertight by a sealing profile. Lighting (29) can be provided on the girders (23). <IMAGE>

Title: Position measuring device.
Inventor: HOLZAPFEL WOLFGANG DR
IPC: G01D5/38
Filed: 1995-02-20
Abstract: An optical measuring system for generating signals which are dependent on linear position has a light source (L) with collimator lens (K), a reference scale (M) and at least one scanning plate (A). The scale (M) carries an amplitude or phase graduation and the associated scanning plate (A) is divided as a diffraction grating having the transparent planar areas (GL) attenuating with the ribbed elements (G5) which are aligned with the direction of movement (X). The spacing and dimensions of the ribbed sections (G5) decrease progressively to afford a relationship with position and the diffracted light rays fall on the three photosensitive elements (D0 D+1 D-1) so generating the required signals for position evaluation.

Inventor: IWAFUCHI MASAHIKO
IPC: G06K7/10

Abstract: A scanner of this invention can read an object to
be read having a width larger than that of the distal
end portion of a scanner main body (1) when the object
is read by bringing the scanner main body (1) close to
or into contact with the object to be read. An exit
opening (5) for outputting a light beam externally is
formed at the distal end portion of the scanner main
body (1). An LED (2) for generating a light beam, and
a solid-state image pickup element (4) for receiving
the light beam which is generated by the LED (2), is
output via the exit opening (5) to have a predetermined
irradiation width, and is reflected by a barcode (3),
are arranged in the scanner main body (1). A gap
portion (6) for increasing the irradiation width (W1)
of the light beam to be larger than the width of the
distal end portion of the scanner main body (1) at the
position of the distal end portion is formed at the
distal end portion of the scanner main body (1) having
the exit opening (5). Therefore, when a barcode (3) is
read by bringing the scanner main body (1) close to or
into contact with the barcode (3), the gap portion (6)
can increase the width of the light beam to be larger
than that of the distal end portion at the position of
the distal end portion of the scanner main body (1),
and therefore, a barcode (3) having a width larger than
the width of the distal end portion of the scanner main
body (1) can be read.

Abstract: A drum scanning type image reading apparatus includes an illumination
optical system and an imaging optical system. The illumination optical system is
an optical system for irradiating light upon an original. A variable aperture stop
is disposed at a conjugate position with the original. In the imaging optical system,
a pick-up lens focuses an image of an image reading region of the original on an
image focusing surface, and photomultiplier tubes read light passing through one
of holes which are formed in a main aperture plate which is disposed on the image
focusing surface. To change an image reading resolution in the image reading
apparatus, the image reading region and an illumination region are changed by
changing the aperture size of the main aperture plate and the size of the variable
aperture stop.

IPC: H01L29/10
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: A power MOSFET includes a pair of electrically
isolated gates having different gate widths. The
MOSFET is connected in a switching mode DC-DC
converter, with the gates being driven by a pulse width
modulation (PWM) control to vary the duty cycle of the
gate drive signal and thereby regulate the output
voltage of the DC-DC converter. In light load
conditions, the larger gate is disconnected from the
PWM control to reduce the gate capacitance which must
be driven by the PWM control. In normal load
conditions, the larger gate is connected to the PWM
control to reduce the on-resistance of the MOSFET.
Both of these operations increase the efficiency of the
DC-DC converter.

Abstract: In the production of rotor grooves, between the usual undercut-free opening of the groove with a disk milling cutter and profile milling by means of a high speed, high performance steel profile shaft milling cutter, a preliminary fine cutting operation is inserted, in which the profile form is premachined with a profile shaft milling cutter equipped with indexable cutting bits. The profile shaft milling cutter used for the purpose has a greater number of cutting surfaces at its tooth tips than at its tooth flanks. The cutting surfaces defined by overlapping, in circumferential direction, of the cutting edges of the indexable cutting bits are interrupted, so that substantially flat and hardly stiff chips are produced.

Abstract: A bearing retainer (1) having a body (1a) formed of steel 
has a nitride layer (N) on the body surface. The average 
particle diameter of a nitride contained in the nitride layer 
(N) is not more than 1 µm. The surface of the retainer (1) 
is subjected to fluoriding treatment, and is then subjected to 
nitriding treatment. The above-mentioned oxide is removed by 
replacing an oxide on the surface of the retainer (1) with a 
metal fluoride film by the fluoriding treatment. In the 
nitriding treatment, a gaseous mixture of gas for nitriding, 
for example, ammonia gas and hydrogen gas for removing the 
metal fluoride film is brought into contact with the surface 
of the retainer (1). A precise and uniform nitride layer (N) 
is obtained in a state where the oxide is reliably removed 
from the surface of the retainer (1).
