Patent EP-1184743-A3 (EP)
Inventor: AHL DAVID K
IPC: B65H5/02
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A device and method of enhancing contact between a photoconductive member of a electrophotographic printing machine and the paper to which an electrostatic latent image is to be transferred uses an array of wiper blade segments mounted on a common shaft. Each segment is attached to the shaft for limited rotational movement on the shaft in opposition to a torsion spring. The torsion spring biases the blade segment towards the paper. Some of the blade segments are operatively associated with a stop mechanism to control the length of the wiper blade array in accordance with the size of the paper being processed. The stop mechanism prevents movement of the blade segment into engagement with the paper by restraining movement of the segment against its torsion spring.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus capable of instantaneously forming a surface of an arc-treated
material mainly consisting of graphite into nano-tubes due to arc discharge carried out
using a unit like a welding arc torch or the like without necessarily requiring a processing
container, resulting in the nano-tube being applied to an electron emission source. A torch
electrode acting as a first electrode and the arc-treated material made of graphite and acting as
a second electrode are arranged opposite to each other. A potential is applied between both
electrodes to generate arc discharge there between. A mask having an opening pattern is arranged
on the arc-treated material, so that only graphite positioned on portions of a surface of
the arc-treated material 2 corresponding to openings of the mask are exposed to arc, to thereby
be formed into nano-tubes.

Abstract: For realizing an optical member for vacuum
ultraviolet with little absorption and with a low
deliquescence nature and a low cleavage nature, a
halide of an alkali metal such as Li, Na, Cs, or the
like and a halide of any one of alkaline earth metals
and other elements such as Ca, Sr, Ba, Mg, Zn, and the
like are mixed in a ratio of 1:1, the mixture is
sintered, and a fluoride crystal of AMF 3  type perovskite
structure is grown. The crystal is processed to
fabricate a substrate of an optical member such as a
lens, a mirror, a prism, or the like for excimer
lasers. Alternatively, the crystal is used as an
evaporation source to coat a substrate of an optical
member therewith. It is thus feasible to obtain
optical members with little absorption in the vacuum
ultraviolet region and with an excellent durability.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical disc and a method for transporting a multilayered optical disc are provided. When adhering the sheet and the disc substrate, after the adhesive is supplied to the outer side of the groove on the disc substrate, the sheet is loaded on the disc substrate. The adhesive is pressed to extend to the groove. At this timer, because the surplus adhesive is blocked when flowing into the groove, the surplus adhesive does not overflow easily toward the inner side of the groove. In addition, even if the adhesive overflows toward the inner side of the groove the adhesive is kept between the non-adhered portion of the sheet and the disc substrate, preventing the adhesive from moving to the disc surface. The non-adhered portion is cut by the cutting blade after the adhesive is completely cured, and then removed from the disc substrate.

Abstract: A method and system for allocating an initial maintenance request (IMR) for an upstream channel in a communications system, wherein the communication system includes a headend and at least one remote device associated with the channel. A first propagation delay from the headend to the remote device having the greatest delay is determined (415). Likewise, a second propagation delay from the headend to the remote device experiencing the least delay is determined (410). The IMR is then defined to be shorter than the first propagation delay and at least as long as the difference between the two propagation delays. The starting point of the IMR is established by modifying the clock output of the headend. A modification value is added to the headend clock output. The modification value corresponds to a time interval that can be as long as the propagation delay from the headend to the remote having the shortest delay. <IMAGE>
