Patent EP-0921050-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUGOSH MARK J
IPC: H02K5/08
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: A steering assembly (10) for turning steerable
wheels of a vehicle in response to rotation of a steering
wheel (12) includes a pinion (30). A steering
member (14) is movable axially to effect turning movement
of the steerable wheels of the vehicle. The steering
member (14) has a rack portion (34) for engagement with
the pinion (30) and an externally threaded screw
portion (38). A ball nut (140) extends around the screw
portion (38) of the steering member (14) and has an
internal thread (144). A plurality of balls (200) are
disposed between the internal thread (144) on the ball
nut (140) and an external thread (40) on the steering
member (14) for transmitting force between the ball nut
and the screw portion (38) of the steering member. An
electric motor (50) includes a rotor (132) drivingly
connected to the ball nut (140) and a stator (70). The
stator (70) when energized effects rotation of the
rotor (132) and, thereby, rotation of the ball nut (140).
The steering assembly includes a one-piece molded
plastic member (60) having a first axial portion (62)
disposed adjacent to the pinion (30), a second axial
portion (66) encapsulating and supporting the stator
core (72) and the stator windings (82), and a third axial
portion (110) supporting the ball nut (140) for rotation
with the rotor (132).

Abstract: An optical communication system comprising a light source, a cladding
pumped fiber laser (10) having a pump cladding (14), an optical fiber (20) attached to
the cladding pumped fiber laser, the optical fiber having a cladding (24) and a protective
coating (26). and an expedient that prevents substantial damage to the protective coating
of the optical fiber upon transmission of at least 1 watt of residual light out of the pump
cladding. Such an expedient may be the material of the protective coating, which may
comprise a metal, such as gold, aluminium or copper, or a high refractive-index polymer
such as a polyimide, polyetheretherketone, polytetrafluoroethene or an epoxide.
Alternatively, or in addition, the expedient may comprise an article disposed at the
attachment of the laser to the fiber and capable of conducting and dissipating heat
produced by the residual light, for example, a metal block having a groove that supports
the laser, the fiber or both.

IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical clamp coagulator apparatus is configured to effect
cutting, coagulation, and clamping of tissue by cooperation of a clamping
mechanism of the apparatus with an associated ultrasonic end-effector. In order
to limit the force with which tissue is clamped between a clamp arm of the
clamping mechanism and the end-effector, the clamping mechanism includes a
force-limiting spring which operatively connects an operating lever of the
apparatus and components of the clamp drive mechanism. The force-limiting
spring is preferably pre-loaded so that the interconnection of the associated
components is desirably "stiff", thus providing a user with good tactile feedback
during operation of the clamping mechanism. At least one travel stop is
preferably provided on the apparatus housing for limiting movement of the
operating lever after a predetermined degree of relative movement of the
operating components in opposition to the force-limiting spring.

Abstract: Bi-static radar, with pseudo-random signal transmission,
constituted by a transmitter and a
receiver connected to separate antennas placed at
distant locations. Pseudo-random (spread spectrum)
signal transmission allows to detect less
reflective and more distant targets when compared
to traditional radar with the same available power
and bandwidth. This result (as all range cells of
all receiving beams are simultaneously processed in
parallel) is due to the greater energy incident on
the target and the peculiar receiver . The receiver
beams simultaneity is due to joint use of receiving
array antenna and digital beam-forming techniques.
The parallel analysis of all range cells is assured
by the architecture of the digital receiver. The
radar exhibits low probability of detection by ECM
receivers and excellent anti-jamming resistance.
The radar can be used in military, civil and
scientific appications and in the guidance of
devices using passive sensors.

Title: Bifidobacterium-fermented milk and process for producing the same
Inventor: MATSUI AKIHISA
IPC: C12N1/20
Filed: 1998-02-17
Abstract: A process for producing bifidobacterium-fermented milk
by mix-culturing  Bifidobacterium·breve  with  Lactococcus·
lactis·subspecies·lactis , which forms neither diacetyl nor
acetoin, on a medium composed mainly of milk; the
bifidobacterium-fermented milk thus obtained; and
 Lactococcus·lactis·subspecies·lactis  strain YIT2027 (FERM
BP-6224). 
     By the above process, an extremely large viable count
of the bifidobacteria can be achieved without resort to any
growth promoter and the survivability of the bifidobacteria
during the storage of the fermented milk can be highly
improved. Because of being free from diacetyl or acetoin,
the obtained fermented milk has a good flavor.

IPC: F01D25/30
Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: In a conduit constituting the outlet from turbo machinery such as a turbine or compressor, stall gas having high static pressure and low velocity is collected. This stall gas is then routed through struts-preferably teardrop shaped-to more central low static pressure and high velocity gas flow areas. At these areas, the gas is discharged, preferably through multiple manifold openings. Mixing of the collected high static pressure, low velocity stall gas with the low static pressure, high velocity main stream gas occurs. Turbine noise, vibration, and back pressure are decreased with resulting improvements of efficiency. Variations are illustrated including adaptation of gas flow transfer utilizing turning vanes, fairings, rectangular duct turns, and struts for placement in turbine turbo machine outlets having high turbulence or variable swirl.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une orthèse qui permet d'accroître la portée des mouvements angulaires entre un premier et un second élément corporels adjacents qui se trouvent l'un par rapport à l'autre dans une position angulaire fixe, dans laquelle ils ont été amenés et maintenus involontairement, en raison de la contraction des muscles et du tissu conjonctif provoquée par l'immobilité. Cette orthèse (140) comporte une première (174) et une seconde (176) parties qui sont interconnectées de manière à permettre un mouvement angulaire par pivotement d'une de ces parties par rapport à l'autre. Un ressort (160, 162), qui relie ces première et seconde parties de l'orthèse, sert à solliciter ladite première partie de l'orthèse de manière à la ramener à sa position angulaire initiale par rapport à la seconde partie de l'orthèse. Cette orthèse peut être conçue pour le bras, la jambe, la cheville, la tête, le dos et d'autres parties du corps.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des transducteurs (82, 83) de force qui sont intégrés à des paliers élastomères flexibles (59). Ces transducteurs vont envoyer des signaux qui permettront de déterminer la tension et le couple s'exerçant sur un élément de tension couplé au palier, et de calculer l'azimut ainsi que l'élévation de cet élément de tension. Les transducteurs de force (82, 83) sont de préférence montés ou intégrés dans un anneau de charge métallique externe (60) du palier flexible, et sont collés avec ce dernier (60) à l'élastomère dudit palier flexible. Le transducteur de force peut par exemple comprendre un diaphragme collé à l'élastomère (73), lequel diaphragme possède un diamètre qui est supérieur à l'espace séparant l'anneau de charge métallique externe du plus proche renfort métallique laminé du palier. Dans un mode de réalisation, des jauges de contrainte de type feuilles métalliques sont collées à la surface du diaphragme du côté opposé à l'élastomère. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le diaphragme va transmettre la pression à un fluide hydraulique qui le sépare de l'anneau de support métallique externe. Un capteur de proximité va mesurer la position du diaphragme par rapport à l'anneau de support métallique externe, ceci de manière à pouvoir déceler toute perte de fluide hydraulique. Ce capteur de proximité permet également d'étalonner le transducteur hydraulique se trouvant sous une pression inconnue, ceci en injectant du fluide hydraulique sous pression. Cette injection se poursuit jusqu'à ce que le diaphragme passe en une position où la pression de fluide reflète la pression exercée par l'élastomère sur le diaphragme.
