Patent EP-1364558-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOPKINS GARY L
IPC: A47J36/06
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: A Microwave Cooking Tray and Sleeve Assembly comprises a tray for holding food to be cooked, a transparent heat seal covering the tray, and a sleeve designed to hold the tray. In order to cook the food in the tray, the assembly is placed in a microwave oven. During cooking, side vents on the tray channel steam out of the tray. Holes in the sleeve allow the steam to easily escape the box after passing through the vents in the tray. After a short period of cooking in the microwave oven, the tray is removed from the sleeve, the heat seal is removed from the tray, and the food in the tray is ready to eat.

Patent EP-1273339-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TANAKA MASAKAZU
IPC: F01N3/022
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst-loaded
ceramic filter that is made of a ceramic material capable
of directly supporting a catalyst component thereon, and
is capable of providing early activation of the catalyst
with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and light
weight, without compromising the high porosity of the
filter substrate. 
     According to the present invention, a catalyst-loaded
ceramic filter is made of a ceramic material of
which one or more kinds of element among the constituent
elements thereof is substituted with element other than
the constituent elements, for example a ceramic material
with a part of Si or other elements included in
cordierite is substituted with W or Co, as a filter
substrate of honeycomb structure having a number of cells
separated by porous walls, and supporting a catalyst such
as a noble metal directly on the W. This constitution
has advantages that there occurs no increase in the
pressure loss, coefficient of thermal expansion or weight
due to the formation of a coating layer, and that the
heat capacity remains low.

IPC: G02F1/03
Filed: 2002-07-11
Abstract: In the field of optical communications, electro-absorption (EA) modulators
(12) can be used to modulate electromagnetic radiation (50) to generate a
modulated signal (52). A change in temperature of the EA modulator (12)
during operation can change the extinction ratio and average power of the
modulated signal (52). In order to maintain the extinction ratio and
average power of the modulated signal (52) it is known to monitor the
temperature of the EA modulator (12) and generate a feedback signal to
cool or heat the EA modulator (12) as appropriate. Consequently, the
present invention provides a control loop apparatus (10) for maintaining a
constant extinction ratio and an average power of the modulated signal
(52) without the need for the monitoring of the temperature of the EA
modulator (12) and without the need to heat or cool the EA modulator (12).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un distributeur de pastilles ovoïde pourvu d'un diaphragme généralement ovale (24) qui sépare la partie supérieure du réservoir de pastilles (12) de la partie inférieure de la décharge (14) comportant un orifice de décharge (8). On peut appliquer une pression latérale sur le diaphragme (24) à l'aide d'un bouton (20) se trouvant sur le côté de la boîte pour baisser le diaphragme (24). Ce diaphragme (24), qui possède une ouverture centrale (32), est relié de part et d'autre de cette ouverture à deux branches semi-cylindriques (34, 36) qui forment une voie (38) entre l'ouverture (32) et l'orifice (8).
