Patent EP-0749143-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ROSE DEREK J
IPC: H01H37/14
Filed: 1996-02-15
Abstract: An electrical resistance heater (80,82) is
positioned adjacent to a bimetal disc (50) in a
thermostat (A) for depressing the temperatures at which
the disc (50) snaps between oppositely bowed positions to
open and close a switch. A thermal insulator (B)
interposed between the heater (80,82) and the thermostat
housing (10,12) protects the housing (10,12) against overheating and
properly locates the heater (80,82) relative to the disc (50). A
dielectric film (84) on the surface of the disc (50) that
faces toward the heater (80,82) insures adequate electrical
spacing between the heater (80,82) and disc (50).

Abstract: The seal comprises a cap (5) with a central insert with an inward facing sealing skirt (4). This is conical and is gripped between a two part closure (2,4) for the container. When the outer cap is removed the skirt is pulled out of the clamped position and cannot be re-inserted. The conical shape of the skirt prevents re-insertion between the clamping components. The contents of the container are accessed via syringe needles pushed through one of the closure components (2) normally protected by the outer cap.

IPC: H01H47/32
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: A varying voltage is applied across a coil (20) of a
contactor (12). The varying voltage has a characteristic
(frequency) which varies as a function of the position of
the armature (16). The varying voltage is transmitted to a
coupler (42) which transmits information to a controller.
The coupler may include one or more light sources (LEDs)
(50 and/or 52) which are sequentially energized and de-energized
to sequentially render a phototransistor (54)
conducting and nonconducting. The frequency of the output
from the coupler (42) corresponds to the frequency at which
the phototransistor (54) is changed between the conducting
and nonconducting conditions. A controller (32) determines
whether the frequency of the output from the coupler (42)
corresponds to the intended position of the armature (16)
of the contactor (12) or to an unintended position by
comparing the frequency of the output from the coupler to
known frequencies for various positions of the armature.

Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus has vacuum
processing chambers (11a,11b,11c) the insides of which
must be dry cleaned. When the vacuum processing
chambers are dry-cleaned, dummy substrates (30) are
transferred into the vacuum processing chamber by
substrate conveyor means (13,14) from dummy substrate
storage means (1c) which is diposed in the air
atmosphere separate from storage means (1a,1b) for
storing substrates (20) to be processed, and the inside
of the vacuum processing chamber is dry-cleaned by
generating a plasma. The dummy substrate (30) is
returned to the dummy substrate storage means (1c)
after dry cleaning is completed. Accordingly, no
specific mechanism for the cleaning is necessary and
the construction of the apparatus can be made simple.
Furthermore, the dummy substrates (30) used for dry
cleaning and the substrates (20) to be processed do not
coexist, contamination of the substrates to be
processed due to dust and remaining gas can be
prevented and the production yield can be high.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a speech recognition method and system for
transmitting information including the receipt and decoding of speech information such as
that modeled by hidden Markov models (HMMs). The state likelihoods of the modeled
state sequences contained within the speech information are assigned penalties based on
the difference between those state likelihoods and a maximum possible state likelihood.
Once penalties have been assigned, the modified state sequence with the modified state
likelihoods having the highest cumulative state likelihoods is used in further speech
recognition processing. In this manner, state sequences having no extremely poor state
likelihoods are favored over those having both extremely high and extremely poor state
likelihoods.

Abstract: A slide driving device employs a variable-displacement pump/motor for
driving a rotating element of the slide driving device. The displacement volume
of the variable-displacement pump/motor, whose output drives the slide, is varied
in response to deviation of measured driver parameters from commanded driver
parameters. An energy storage device temporarily absorbs excess energy during
a portion of a molding cycle, and returns the energy to the system for re-use. In
one embodiment, the energy storage device is an accumulator. In a second
embodiment, the energy storage device is a flywheel. The combination of variable
displacement volume and energy storage maintains the fluid pressure substantially
constant during a cycle of the slide driving device.

Abstract: The invention provides a recording apparatus (3) and a
method of controlling the operation of the recording
apparatus in which the timing of replacing ink cartridges (11)
for supplying ink to a recording head or the timing of
refilling the ink cartridges with ink is controlled in
such a manner as to minimize the total amount of ink
consumed during the operation of recovering the recording
head performed after the ink cartridge is replaced or
refilled thereby achieving a high efficiency in the
replacement or refilling of ink cartridges. The amount of
remaining ink is monitored for each ink cartridge. If an
ink cartridge is detected to be so low in the amount of
remaining ink that it should be replaced or refilled (step S114),
then it is judged whether there is another ink cartridge
whose amount of remaining ink is lower than a
predetermined value. If there is such an ink cartridge,
it is determined that the ink cartridge as well as the
former one should also be replaced or refilled with ink.
In accordance with the judgement result, information is
presented about the ink cartridge which should be
replaced or refilled. As opposed to conventional
techniques in which there is a possibility that an ink
cartridge runs out ink during a recovering operation 
performed after another ink cartridge was replaced or
refilled with ink and thus it is also required to be
replaced or refilled, the technique according to the
present invention makes it possible to replace or refill
ink cartridges in a highly efficient manner.
