Patent EP-1126944-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GENSEBERGER ERICH
IPC: B23D15/00
Filed: 1999-10-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to an oscillating assembly for pivoting a blanking die that is constructed and arranged to cut blanks from sheet material. The oscillating assembly comprises a die supporting structure that pivots about a pivot axis. The die supporting structure receives and supports the die such that the sheet material can be fed into the die in a feeding direction and such that the pivoting of the die supporting structure pivots the die relative to the sheet material. A reversible rotary driving assembly rotates a rotatable output shaft in opposing first and second rotational directions. A linearly movable die driver is operatively connected to the output shaft such that (a) rotating the shaft in the first rotational direction thereof moves the die driver generally linearly in a first die driving direction and (b) rotating the shaft in the second rotational direction thereof moves the die driver generally linearly in a second die driving direction opposite the first die driving direction. The die driver is operatively connected to the die supporting structure such that (a) moving the die driver in the first die driving direction thereof as aforesaid pivots the die supporting structure to a first cutting position wherein the blanking die can cut a first blank from the sheet material fed therein and (b) after cutting the first blank and advancing the sheet material relative to the die in the feeding direction, moving the die driver in the second die driving direction thereof as aforesaid pivots the die supporting structure to a second cutting position wherein the blanking die can cut a second blank from the sheet material.

Abstract: The unit has two storage chambers (114) like syringes, with outlets (120). These are attached at a coupling (130) held by a rotary collar (122) turning between locked and released positions, to a mixer casing (34) containing mixer sections (38). There is an outlet opening (40) at the far end. Preferred features: The end where flange sections form the coupling is oval. Stops and limits control the degree of collar rotation in either direction. In a development, tubular pouches of viscous components can be placed in the chambers. Further coupling arrangements, employing push-in tubes for contents extraction, are described. A capping system is provided for the outlets. As the pouches are forced forward, they are penetrated by sharp tubes for contents extraction. This forms part of a claimed opening arrangement. Further mechanical details of the unit are provided.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a method
and apparatus with which, when ejecting or applying a very
small amount of liquid, the liquid can be applied in a desired
form at a high speed and precisely without depending on
viscosity of the liquid. 
     In a fixed-amount-of-liquid ejecting method according
to the present invention, for ejecting a liquid in fixed amount
from a liquid reservoir through an ejection valve, the method
comprises a step of applying a pressure to the liquid
beforehand prior to starting ejection of the liquid and/or
holding a pressure near an ejection orifice after the end of
liquid ejection at a predetermined specific value so that an
ejection rate of the liquid through the ejection orifice is
kept constant. Other features are that a liquid temperature
is controlled, and/or that the liquid is automatically filled
without entrapment of bubbles. 
     A fixed-amount-of-liquid ejecting apparatus according
to the present invention comprises a liquid reservoir, means
for pressurizing a liquid in the liquid reservoir, and an
ejection valve communicating with the liquid reservoir,
thereby ejecting the liquid in fixed amount from the liquid
reservoir through the ejection valve. The apparatus further
comprises operation control means for controlling operations
of the pressurizing means and the ejection valve, and ejection
pressure control means for automatically regulating an 
ejection pressure of the liquid. The apparatus is further
featured by including liquid temperature control means and/or
a filling apparatus for automatically filling the liquid in
the liquid reservoir without entrapment of bubbles.

Title: Interative resequencing.
Inventor: CHEE MARK
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: The invention provides iterative methods of analyzing a target nucleic acid that represents a variant of a reference nucleic acid. An array of probes is designed to be complementary to an estimated sequence of a target nucleic acid. The array of probes is then hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The target sequence is reestimated from hybridization pattern of the array to the target nucleic acid. A further array of probes is then designed to be complementary to the reestimated sequence, and this array is used to obtain a further reestimate of the sequence of the target nucleic acid. By performing iterative cycles of array design and target sequence estimation, the estimated sequence of the target converges with the true sequence.

Title: Method for improving signal acquisition in a global positioning system receiver
Inventor: BLOEBAUM LELAND SCOTT
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 2002-02-05
Abstract: A method and system improves signal acquisition in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver by providing information to focus the acquisition search in the receiver. In particular, the invention relates to the case where a GPS receiver is integrated with a transceiver that is capable of communicating with a cellular or PCS network via the air-interface particular to that network. Standard information provided by the network is used to assist the integrated GPS receiver and improve its sensitivity and latency. The result of this improvement is that the receiver can rapidly acquire satellites and compute its position in environments where conventional, stand-alone GPS receivers cannot. This added performance is very important for the emergency location application, since the user may have high expectations for personal safety in a variety of situations. Furthermore, the rapid acquisition reduces power consumption, which is very important for battery-powered devices utilizing such combined GPS and cellular technologies.

Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: Parameters being a measure for a characteristic of a channel or of a pair of channels, wherein the parameter is a measure for a characteristic of the channel or of the pair of channels with respect to another channel of a multi-channel signal can be quantized more efficiently using a quantization rule that is generated based on a relation of an energy measure of the channel or the pair of channels and an energy measure of the multi-channel signal. With generation of the quantization rule taking into account a psycho acoustic approach, the size of an encoded representation of the multi-channel signal can be decreased by coarser quantization without significantly disturbing the perceptual quality of the multi-channel signal when reconstructed from the encoded representation.
