Patent JP-4298914-B2 (JP)
IPC: F26B21/08
Filed: 1998-10-29
Granted: 2009-07-22
Abstract: involves pressurising wood and injecting water vapour before pressure reduction and dehumidifying. The wood drying method includes the following stages: - a pressure stage in which a set pressure is maintained in a sealed enclosure (1) by injection of a saturated water vapour and maintenance of the pressure for a set period of time, and ensuring forced air circulation with saturated water vapour; - a heating stage at the heart of the wood and in the central zone of the pieces of wood to be dried, by transmission of micro-waves in a frequency range from 400 to 2450 MHz; - an evacuation stage for the water running into the bottom of the enclosure (1), followed by a progressive reduction of the pressure to atmospheric pressure after the micro-wave radiation has stopped. The pressure reduction stage is completed by a dehumidifying of the ambient air in the enclosure, by passage of an air flow from the enclosure onto a humidity absorbing and air cooling system.

Abstract: It is known to make the performance of a loudspeaker “environment adaptive” in controlling a filter unit based on a measurement of the velocity/acceleration of the loudspeaker diaphragm and the associated sound pressure in front of the diaphragm, by means of an accelerometer and a microphone, respectively, thereby determining the radiation resistance of the diaphragm. The two sensors have to exhibit a constant transfer function throughout the life time of the loudspeaker, which make them very expensive. With the invention it has been found that the accelerometer can be replaced by another microphone held in a small distance from the diaphragm, and this conditions the possibility of using the same microphone for both measurements, e.g. simply by physically moving the microphone from one position to another. It will then no longer be required to use long-time stable sensors, whereby the price of the sensor equipment can be reduced dramatically. Also alternative arrangements are disclosed.

Abstract: An interbody spinal fusion implant (20) for insertion across a disc space between adjacent vertebral bodies of a human spine has a body (22) two top side and two bottom side junctions, with at least a pair of diagonally opposed junctions having a distance therebetween that does not significantly exceed the implant body height. The implant (20) also includes one or more bone penetrating protrusions (36) extending outwardly from at least the upper and lower walls of the implant. The implant (20) is inserted on its side (28,28') between adjacent vertebral bodies and then rotated 90 degrees into place. The protrusions (36) penetrate the endplates upon rotation, thereby securing the implant (36) within the spine. The implant (20) has at least one passage (38,38') therethrough from the upper wall (30) to the lower wall (30') to promote fusion through the implant (20). Because of the specialized opposed junctions overdistraction between the adjacent vertebral bodies is avoided when the implant (20) is rotated from an initial insertion position to a final deployed position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A temperature stabilized tapered fiber optic component is produced, such as a fiber optic coupler or a fiber optic filter. In the case of the component such as a coupler, at least two fibers are fused and tapered to achieve a desired taper profile with suitable mechanical and wavelength properties. In the case of a component such as a fiber filter, only one fiber is tapered. Once the component is formed, it is solidly secured to a rigid substrate that produces a mechanical stress such as to compensate for any modal phase shift of the component due to temperature variation. Also, the mechanical phase dependence of the component may be adjusted in relation to the substrate to provide the desired temperature compensating effect. Preferably, both these features are used to achieve the best possible temperature stabilization.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for reducing the average power consumption in a remote unit in a wireless communication system. When a remote unit in a slotted mode communication system enters an active state, it receives a sequence of messages. One element of this sequence is a general paging message that command the remote unit to return to the inactive state immediately, thus conserving battery power. The general paging message is followed by several additional elements in the sequence. When the remote unit operates in a poor signal-to-noise ratio environment, for example, it may not receive the general paging message and may, thus, unnecessarily remain in the active state until the end of its assigned slot, wasting battery power. The invention determines whether the element received by the remote unit is a general paging message. If so, the remote unit enters the inactive mode. If not, the invention determines whether the element occurs after a general paging message in the sequence of messages. If so, the remote unit enters the inactive mode without waiting for the end of the assigned slot.

Abstract: A potter's wheel for working clay and other pottery material on a turntable driven by a DC brushless motor. In order that driving speed is not affected by the load due to user's access to the work of clay, the speed of the motor detected by a speed detector is fed back to a speed control signal generator and a motor driving control signal is generated as a function of the difference between the detected motor speed and a directed speed inputted through a speed setter in response to the operation to a manipulation member. Then, a motor control generates such a motor driving signal as to make the motor driving control signal zero, with the motor driving signal being fed to the motor, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the turntable to be a directed value regardless of the load applied to the turntable via the work.

The soluble coffee beverage powder is characterised by a soluble gas containing matrix comprising between 10% and 35% soluble coffee solids by weight of the total dry matter of the matrix, from about 10% to about 35 % pre-flocculated creamer by weight, from about 12% to about 30% oligosacchrides effective to dilute protein in the creamer by weight. The soluble beverage powder upon reconstituting provides a foamed upper surface based upon all of the ingredients, and in which the foamed upper layer substantially all of the foam is made up of bubbles having a diameter in the range of 0.05 to 0.5 mm. For a particular good aroma the soluble coffee beverage powder comprises aqueous aroma. In another aspect, the invention relates to a process for making such a product.
