IPC: F16B5/00
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: A hemming steel constructed to fold or hem a flange of an outer sheet metal panel onto an inner sheet metal panel has a forming face with a first, generally flat section and a second section inclined to the first section to provide a finished, hemmed flange having an outer portion closed or folded flat onto the inner sheet metal panel and an inner portion adjacent to the fold line which is inclined to the outer portion providing a reduced radius of the fold line bend. The second section of the hemming steel is preferably generally planar such that the inner portion of the hemmed flange is generally flat and provides an outer bend diameter along the fold line of the outer sheet metal panel which is less than three times the thickness of the sheet metal panel and may be approximately equal to or less than the thickness of the outer panel. The reduced bend diameter is believed to provide a smooth and fair fold line which has a more consistent appearance when viewed from different angles to improve the appearance of the panels of the vehicle body in assembly. Further, with the outer portion of the hemmed flange folded flat against the inner sheet metal panel, no sealing operation is required to prevent foreign material from collecting between the flange and inner panel. The angle at which the second section of the forming face is inclined relative to the first section can be changed to allow the location of the peripheral edge of the inner panel to be varied relative to the fold line.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for inverting a person for various therapeutic purposes. The apparatus comprises a chair which is pivotally supported about a horizontal axis between various positions having different relative inclinations. When used for inversion, a stop is mounted on the chair to restrict rearward pivotal movement of the person from an upright position to an inverted position. The method thus includes pivoting the person forwardly from the upright position to the inverted position in which the person is substantially inverted in relation to the upright position. The chair may further include a damper and biasing means for dampering the pivotal displacement of the chair and biasing the chair to the upright position. A lift mechanism may further be used for raising the chair in the inverted position.

Title: Lithium secondary battery using gelled polymeric electrolyte
Inventor: OHSHITA RYUJI
IPC: H01M10/05
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: A cell which utilizes spinel type lithium manganate as an active material and comprises a positive electrode containing a gelled polymer electrolyte (A), a negative electrode and a gelled polymer electrolyte (B) in a membrane or film form doubling as a separator, wherein the gelled polymer electrolytes (A and B) both comprises a polyalkylene oxide based polymer impregnated with a liquid electrolyte. The inventive cell has a large contact surface area between an active material of the positive electrode and a gelled polymer electrolyte due to a specific gelled polymer electrolyte (A) contained in the positive electrode, which results in its having a large initial discharge capacity (especially, a high rate discharge capacity). Further, in the inventive cell, the manganese in the spinel type lithium manganate shows a reduced tendency to dissolve out, due to a specific  gelled polymer electrolyte (B) used as an electrolyte, which results in the reduction of the decrease in discharge capacity caused by the dissolution of manganese in a charge-discharge cycle, that is, in the excellent charge-discharge cycle characteristics of the cell.

Title: Hyper-concatenation across independent pointer processors
Inventor: ROBERTS KIM B
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: A concatenated optical signal carrying an arbitrary mix of concatenated data traffic is split and transported across a network space between a start node and an end node through a hyper-concatenated connection set up through independent pointer processor state machines. At a start node, the concatenated optical signal is split into two or more hyper-concatenated data streams. If a split occurs at a frame within a concatenated signal, the start node replaces a concatenation indicator of the frame with a payload pointer from a first frame of the concatenated signal and inserts a split indicator in the SS bits of the frame overhead. The hyper-concatenated data streams are transported across the network space using respective ones of a plurality of independent channels. At an end node, the hyper-concatenated data streams are recombined to recover the original concatenated signal. Frames containing split indicators are modified to remove the split indicator and to replace the payload pointer with a concatenation indicator. The advantage is an ability to set up hyper- concatenated connections through a network space containing independent pointer processors, such as legacy cross-connects or ADMs.

Abstract: A computer implemented apparatus and method (Fig 3) for discovering hydrocarbon bearing formations yields a direct indication of hydrocarbon resulting from analyzing seismic amplitude data. The method uses an algorithm for determining a seismic attribute dip (DAD) (28) in which each sample point of each seismic trace in a survey is analyzed to determine a planar dip associated with the reflection point (20), and a normalized delta amplitude in the direction of dip. Displaying the DAD values in time slice or horizon slice (21) provides a direct indicator of hydrocarbons. The inventive method automatically analyzes each digitized data point in the survey by cross-correlating the traces reflected from a three-by-three array (21) of reflection points. This method involves cross-correlation of eight traces that are reflected from the perimeter of the three-by-three array of reflection points (24) with the single trace reflected from the central point in the array. The correlation is carried out over a predefined time window, and for a series of lags. A dipping plane is then trial fitted to amplitude events for the nine traces, including lagged traces, so that the cross-correlation coherency of traces in the array is optimized for a particular strike and dip position of the dipping plane. The strike and dip of the optimum plane is recorded for later use in calculating the DAD value.

Abstract: An optical network assembly includes a planar lightguide circuit (PLC) (210) and a filtering device (220). A PLC can have at least two optical paths (230, 240) for propagating optical energy. The PLC can be designed to channel optical energy with its optical paths towards the filtering device (220) in order to separate the optical energy into at least two beams, where a first beam can contain a first information channel and a second beam can contain a second information channel. The filtering device can be attached directly to the PLC or it can be attached directly to an optical waveguide that is also connected to the PLC. The optical waveguide can either feed optical energy to or propagate optical energy away from the PLC. Multiple optical waveguides can be attached to a PLC to feed optical energy into and away from the PLC. The PLC, filtering device, and optical waveguide can form the building blocks to more complex optical network architectures.
