Abstract: To provide a gas compressor in which a gas leakage from
compression chambers is suppressed to thereby make it possible to
enhance compressor characteristics such as a volumetric efficiency,
A seal member is interposed between a cylinder of a gas compressor
and two side blocks for sealing both end faces of the cylinder,
and the seal member is arranged at a position for separating inside
and outside of the cylinder so as to surround an opening of a hollow
portion of the cylinder. The end face of the cylinder is brought
into intimate contact with the end surface of a rear side block
or a front side block. Then, the confronting surfaces of the two
members are brought into intimate contact with each other to form
a close contact portion.

IPC: F04D19/04
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: When a vacuum pump (1) is installed over a vacuum system in
a turned-over posture via a damper (2), a tension is applied
upward to the vacuum pump (1) by an elastic body (38,57,58) one end of which
is fixed to a fixed portion such as a ceiling (42), by which
contraction caused by the weight of the vacuum pump (1) and the
atmospheric pressure applied when the interior of the
damper becomes a vacuum is relaxed. Thereby, the decrease
in vibration damping capacity of the damper caused by the
compression of a rubber of the damper (2) can be reduced. Also,
when the vacuum pump (1) is installed at the side of the vacuum
system in a horizontal posture via the damper (2), a tension is
applied upward to the vacuum pump by the elastic body (38,57,58) one
end of which is fixed to the fixed portion such as a ceiling (42)
to keep the horizontal posture of the vacuum pump (1). Thereby,
the damper (2) is prevented from being deflected by the weight
of the vacuum pump, and thus high vibration absorbing
capacity of the damper can be maintained.

IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés permettant d'améliorer les estimations de position pour un dispositif donné, en cas de détérioration marquée de la précision. Selon une variante, on reçoit initialement des estimations de position pour un certain nombre d'émetteurs (par exemple, satellites et/ou stations de base GPS) et une série de mesures initiales (par exemple, pseudo-distances). On calcule un vecteur de mise à jour pour une estimation de position de dispositif courante. Après la détection d'une non-convergence de cette estimation vers une estimation de position cible, et confirmation, le vecteur de mise à jour est ajusté (par exemple, réduction de valeur numérique selon un facteur d'échelle), ce qui permet d'augmenter la probabilité de convergence vers l'estimation de position cible. Ensuite, l'estimation est mise à jour sur la base du vecteur de mise à jour (éventuellement ajusté). On peut déceler la non-convergence en fonction du nombre d'itérations accomplies sans parvenir à l'estimation cible, et/ou de l'inversion de phase sur deux vecteurs de mise à jour consécutifs. Il est possible d'augmenter le facteur d'échelle à chaque détection d'événement indicateur de non-convergence.

Abstract: An intravascular stent (fig. 10) especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions. The stent (fig. 10) is formed of intertwined meander patterns forming triangular cells (804). The triangular cells (804) are adapted to provide radial support, and longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The triangular cells (804) provide increased coverage of a vessel wall. The stent (fig. 10) can have different portions adapted to optimize radial support or to optimize longitudinal flexibility. The stent (fig. 10) is curved and cells on the outside of the curve open in length, but narrow in width whereas cells on the inside of the curve shorten in length but thicken in width to maintain a density of stent element area which much more constant than otherwise between the inside and the outside of the curve. As a result, when the stent is coated with a medicine the more constant density of stent elements results in an even dose being applied to the inside wall of the lumen, avoiding the possibility that a toxic dose be supplied at one area while a less than effective dose is applied to another area.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une aiguille de sécurité à angle droit qui comporte une base sur laquelle s'articule un bras dans une partie proximale. La base comporte une ouverture dans sa partie distale à travers laquelle s'étend la partie verticale de l'aiguille à angle droit. Un puits est formé à proximité de l'ouverture et une barrière est fixée sur la face du puits, à l'écart de l'ouverture. Pour retirer l'aiguille de l'ouverture, la partie horizontale de l'aiguille, qui peut être enveloppée dans un bras, est entraînée en rotation autour du montant sur lequel elle s'articule pour pivoter vers le haut et s'écarter de l'ouverture. Du fait que la pointe de l'aiguille soit décalée du corps de l'aiguille et que l'aiguille à tendance à fléchir vers l'avant, la pointe de l'aiguille se retrouve piégée dans le puits jouxtant l'ouverture lorsqu'elle se dégage de cette dernière. La barrière avant du puits arrête tout mouvement avant de la pointe de l'aiguille, et permet ainsi de retenir solidement l'aiguille dans le puits. Des butées sont prévues dans le dispositif, au niveau de son bras et de sa base, pour empêcher l'aiguille d'avancer plus loin par rapport à la base lorsque la pointe de l'aiguille est piégée dans le puits de la base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection valve (13)
driving method by means of a fuel supply pressure detector
(21) involves various types of delay including a response
lag of the fuel supply pressure detector (21), a
lag produced by a noise filter of a signal processing
circuit, and a lag produced by a software filter provided
in an arithmetic unit. These delay factors produce a lag
in increasing the value of current supplied to the fuel
injection valve (13) despite the fact that an actual fuel
supply pressure is already high. Then, no attractive
force for overcoming the fuel supply pressure is generated
in the fuel injection valve (13), so that a condition
arises in which fuel is not injected due to the fuel
injection valve (13) not being opened. 
     An overexciting current (33a) and a holding current
(34a) supplied to the fuel injection vale (13) in accordance
with a target fuel supply pressure as obtained from
an operating condition are controlled, thereby controlling
the opening and holding of the open position of the
fuel injection valve (13).

Abstract: It is described a condensing (CMC) wall boiler, equipped with one or more by-passes (bPS;
bCS; bCR; bIS) adapted to mix comburent air or flue gas taken from the combustion room (4)
with flue gas in exit from the heat exchanger (8). 
     According to this invention, the physical state of the flue gas mixed in this manner is able to
prevent the flue gas from releasing condensate in the flue (C) thus making it possible to
connect said boiler (CMC) even to flues that are not resistant to acid condensate. 
     According to a variant of the invention, it is also possible to cause the complete re-evaporation
of the condensate produced downstream of the heat exchanger (8) so that it is not necessary to
provide a condensate evacuation duct (10.3). 
     According to the operating methods possible without condensate release in the flue (C), said
condensing boiler (CMC) produces an identical yield typical of condensing boilers, or reduced
yield equivalent to that typical of high yield boilers.
