Patent EP-1332863-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HARGREAVES THOMAS
IPC: B29C35/04
Filed: 2002-02-04
Abstract: A machine and method for forming a spring coil (12) in a
length of hollow, cylindrical thermoplastic tubing(10)
comprises clamping the ends of a predetermined length of
cylindrical thermoplastic tubing between first (90) and second
(54) opposing spaced clamping members. In the machine, these
clamping members include aligned first and second sections of
a mandrel (28 and 30). These first and second clamping
members then are rotated relative to one another (via 76, 78)
by a predetermined amount selected to be slightly in excess of
360°, while the mandrels are simultaneously moved toward one
another (via 24 and 26), to shorten the distance between the
ends of the length of tubing, while the coil is formed. At
the end of this relative rotation, the mandrel sections engage
one another (at 29, 31). The clamped tube (10), with the coil
(12) now formed around the mandrels, is rotated (via 94, 96)
and simultaneously heated (via 110) to the thermosetting
temperature of the tubing. After a sufficient time to
establish thermosetting of the coil, the heat is removed.
Rotation continues while the tube is cooled. Following the
cooling cycle, the apparatus operates to release the tubing,
with the formed coil in it, from the machine.

Abstract: A cap (10) with a one-way valve (22) solves two distinct problems in the field of packaging
materials that emit gasses, providing both a means to prevent a package from deforming under
pressure built up inside the package, and a means to reseal the package. The cap (10) comprises an
inner wall (18) extending downwardly from an inner portion of the top wall (12) to define a cavity (20). An
insert valve (22) is mounted within the cavity (20), forming a seal with the inside wall (18). The upper surface
of the insert valve (22), inner wall (18), and the top wall (12) define a chamber with a gas escape path (42). A
septum (28) is disposed within the chamber, the septum (28) seated on the insert valve (22) and sealing one or
more apertures (26) in the insert valve (22). The septum (28) is capable of at least partially unseating in
response to force exerted by increased gas pressure acting through the apertures (26).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring pressure on a member.
The systems and methods include exciting the member to create a current
vibratory response in the member (610) and detecting the current vibratory
response (620). The current vibratory response is then compared to at least
one of a plurality of previously recorded vibratory responses of the member
(630). The pressure on the member is then estimated based on the
comparison of the current vibratory response to the plurality of previously
recorded vibratory responses (630).

Abstract: A vacuum generating device, fabricated in the form of an
ejector pump stack and used for generating negative pressure in
an absorption unit, such as an absorption pad of a vacuum
feeding system, is disclosed. The vacuum generating device
includes a plurality of ejector pump modules that share the
same shape and construction and are closely arranged in a
casing to be stacked side by side while being brought into
contact with each other. The casing holds the ejector pump
modules in place inside the vacuum generating device. A
vacuum-off unit, used for releasing vacuum pressure from vacuum
chambers of the ejector pump modules, is mounted onto the
casing. The vacuum generating device also includes a vacuum-on
solenoid valve connected to a first air inlet port of the
casing, and a vacuum-off solenoid valve connected to a second
air inlet port of the vacuum-off unit. The single vacuum-on
solenoid valve performs the vacuum-on operation for the ejector
pump modules, and the single vacuum-off solenoid valve performs
the vacuum-off operation for the ejector pump modules. The
vacuum generating device thus has a very simple construction.

Abstract: A discharge-lamp lighting device is provided which decreases arc
jumps, suppresses the fluctuation in brightness of the lamp, and prolongs a
life of the lamp, by positively accelerating growth of spots even when an
inexpensive, small and highly efficient lamp is used. A discharge-lamp
controlling portion (101) sets frequencies of drive-controlling signals (A and
B) for drive-controlling a commutator (109) within a predetermined frequency
range so that spots formed by arc discharge on electrodes composing a
high-pressure discharge lamp grow through a cycle of oxidation-reduction of a
metal composing the electrodes, and superimposes a triangular wave signal
generated on the basis of the drive-controlling signals onto a
current-controlling signal (F) over an entire period of the drive-controlling
signals so as to make a peak value of the triangular wave constant, thereby
adjusting the waveform of current flowing in the high-pressure discharge
lamp.

Abstract: Provided is a battery capable of improving the chemical
stability of an electrolyte and characteristics. The battery
comprises a spirally wound electrode body (20) including a strip-shaped
cathode (21) and a strip-shaped anode (22) spirally wound
with a separator (23) in between. During charge, lithium metal is
precipitated on the anode (22), so the capacity of the anode (22) is
represented by the sum of a capacity component by insertion and
extraction of lithium and a capacity component by precipitation and
dissolution of the lithium metal. The separator (23) is impregnated
with an electrolyte solution including an electrolyte salt. The
electrolyte salt includes a first lithium salt
LiN(C n F 2n+1 SO 2 )(C m F 2m+1 SO 2 ) and a second lithium salt such as
LiPF 6  or the like. Thereby, the chemical stability of the electrolyte
solution can be improved, and a side reaction can be inhibited, so
charge-discharge cycle characteristics can be improved.

Abstract: A method and system for a handoff in a broadcast communication system is disclosed. A subscriber assisted handoff is impractical in a broadcast communication system due to e.g., a high signaling load, a difficulty to synchronize the broadcast transmission. On the other hand, the small number of broadcast channels enables the subscriber station to perform the handoff autonomously. To streamline the autonomous handoff decision process, several distinct sets of pilot identifiers and rules for transitioning among the sets are defined. To fully integrate broadcast services with the services provided by the cellular telephone systems in a subscriber environment, a methods for various handoff scenarios are analyzed.
