Patent EP-0991059-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SAKAUE YOSHITAKA
IPC: G11B7/125
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: Hitherto, when optical information is recorded, there has
arisen the problem that the rear end of a mark is rapidly
cooled and therefore the mark's rear end becomes large and a
reproduced jitter is unsatisfactory and that signal
degradation occurs due to thermal damage caused by performing
a multi-cycle. Therefore, in mark length modulation recording,
laser light irradiation at a bias power is performed between a
recording pulse train, which adds a mark's rear end correction
pulse train to a recording pulse train, and the laser light
irradiation at a cooling power or the mark's rear end
correction pulse train. Furthermore, cooling-power
irradiation start time, cooling-power irradiation width, and
the configuration of the mark's rear end correction pulse
train are varied in accordance with the length of a record
mark. Also, in CAV mode, cooling-power irradiation time and
cooling-power start time are varied according to the radius of
a disk. Furthermore, in the case where the recording pulse
train comprises a start edge pulse, an end edge pulse, and
pulses between the start edge and end edge pulses, laser light
irradiation at the bias power is performed between the
recording pulse train, where laser light irradiation at the
cooling power is performed, and the cooling power. Moreover,
in the case where, in the recording pulse train, the laser
light irradiation start time is varied according to the length
of the mark and the space between the marks, the timing of the
laser light irradiation start time at the cooling power is 
performed based on the quantity of delay of the end edge pulse
or a clock.

Abstract: A hot beverage vending machine adapted for making
coffee drinks from a freeze dried mixture by utilizing
mixing bowls (20) and delivery tubes (30) surrounded by a
heater shroud (52). A smooth edge whipper (72) is utilized
to whip the coffee mixture to the proper consistency after
it leaves the mixing bowl (20) to provide the proper crema
appearance in the cup (42). The mixture is directed into a
cup (42) by an adjustable outlet tube (48) so that the
coffee mixture is directed against the side of the cup (42)
below the full line (98). The adjustable outlet tube (40)
also contributes to the proper drink appearance by reducing
the number of large bubbles in the cup (42).

Abstract: A control unit 20 calculates a required output of an inverter 44 from
an input accelerator travel (step S12). The control unit 20 specifies an
output electric current-output voltage characteristic corresponding to a gas
flow rate, obtains a point of highest energy conversion efficiency on the
specified characteristic to specify the point as a working point of fuel cells 36,
and computes an output electric power of the fuel cells 36 at the specified
working point (steps S16 through S20). The control unit 20 determines an
output voltage required to a battery 40, based on a difference between the
calculated required output of the inverter and the computed output electric
power of the fuel cells and an SOC of the battery 40 (step S24). The control
unit 20 controls a DC-DC converter 38 and regulates the output voltage of
the DC-DC converter 38, so as to cause the battery 40 to generate the output
voltage thus determined (step S28). The control unit 20 subsequently
controls the inverter 44, so as to cause a motor 46 to consume electric power
corresponding to the required output (step S30). This arrangement enables
the fuel cells 36 to be activated at the working point of high energy
conversion efficiency.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un outil (10) qui est conçu pour être utilisé en situation immergée pour enfoncer des éléments d'ancrage ou de fondation, tels que des piliers (12), dans une formation souterraine immergée sous une masse d'eau. A cet effet, un corps de marteau est maintenu en position fixe dans l'alignement axial de la tête d'un pilier à enfoncer et porte un corps de réaction guidé dans son mouvement dans une direction axiale par rapport au pilier. Le corps de marteau et le corps de réaction définissent les première et seconde extrémités opposées d'une chambre d'expansion. Une charge pyrotechnique est allumée afin de créer un volume de gaz sous pression se dilatant rapidement dans la chambre d'expansion, générant ainsi une impulsion de force de pression montante qui enfonce le pilier, une impulsion de force de pression montante opposée étant appliquée au corps de réaction. Une structure d'amortissement, associée en position opérationnelle au corps de réaction, coopère avec la masse d'eau dans laquelle l'outil est immergé en utilisant l'inertie de l'eau pour résister au mouvement ascendant du corps de réaction.
