Patent EP-0824888-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HUEBINGER JOHANNES
IPC: A47K3/00
Filed: 1997-08-15
Abstract: A mat for placing into or on bathroom fittings such as baths, shower cubicles, wash stands, has a flexible, synthetic support (3) with suction cups on its underside and a non-woven covering (2) on top. The support (3) is a thermoplastic elastomer which is injection moulded on to the non-woven (2). Also claimed is an injection moulding tool in which the non- woven is held to produce the mat in a single process. Preferably the suction cups (5) are moulded as part of the support (3) by means of suitable recesses in the moulding tool. During injection moulding the non-woven (2) is deformed to give raised parts (7) and/or recesses (8) to interlock with the support (3). Alternatively the non- woven can have cut-outs which are filled with the thermoplastic material, a feature which also improves the non-slip properties of the surface. To further improve the bond, the non-woven can be of heat sealing material or be covered with a heat sealing layer which melts during injection moulding. The non-woven (2) can carry a decorative pattern and/or printed design and is stepped back at the edges to expose the support (3) layer. The non-woven (2) is 0.1 - 1 mm, esp. 0.2 - 0.6 mm thick.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for measuring a longitudinal modulus
of elasticity of a fiber used for composite material, including a holder for
supporting a single fiber at its one end in a cantilever fashion, a heater for heating
said single fiber, a measurement device for measuring deflection of said single
fiber, and a calculator for calculating a longitudinal modulus of elasticity of said
single fiber in accordance with said deflection measured by said measurement
device, provided that said single fiber is equivalent to a beam receiving
uniformly distributed load thereon based on dead weight thereof. For instance,
the heater includes a closed container having a transparent window through
which the deflection of the single fiber is measured. The measurement device is a
laser displacement gauge or an optical displacement gauge. The apparatus makes
it possible to readily and rapidly measure a longitudinal modulus of elasticity of a
single fiber in various temperatures including room temperature by using only a
single fiber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a color selecting mechanism
comprising a thin metal sheet (10) formed with a
plurality of electron beam passage slits. The opening
area of each of the slits (32a) in the color selecting
mechanism on the electron beam incidence side thereof is
smaller in size than the opening area of the slit (32A)
on the electron beam emission side. At least a slit side
wall portion is represented by a curve f(t) where t is
the thickness of the thin metal sheet (10) in the section
of the slit (32A) in the thickness direction of the thin
metal sheet (10), a first degree derivative of the curve
f(t) having a positive or negative value possibly zero in
the entire range of t, the curve f(t) having one or more
inflection points. The thin metal sheet comprises an iron
type thin metal sheet (10) has a predetermined thickness,
the electron beam emission side surface of the iron type
thin metal sheet (10) between adjacent slits is formed
with an irregular surface area, and the thickness of the
iron type thin metal sheet (10) in the irregular are is
smaller than the predetermined thickness.

Patent EP-0847895-A3 (EP)
IPC: B60Q1/115
Filed: 1997-12-11
Abstract: A pitch angle in the back-and-forth direction of the vehicle body is
calculated based on output signals of height sensors (11F, 11R) disposed at
front and rear wheels of the vehicle. A vehicle traveling speed is obtained. A
vehicle acceleration is obtained from the vehicle traveling speed. Using the
vehicle traveling speed and the vehicle acceleration, a judgement is made to
determine the control mode corresponding to the vehicle traveling condition, by
selecting one from the group consisting of a stopping mode, an acceleration
mode, a deceleration mode and a constant-speed mode. An actuator target value
(i.e., target aiming adjustment angle) is calculated in accordance with the
determined control mode. To obtain this actuator target value, a filter is used to
process the pitch angle so that the headlights (30L, 30R) do not dazzle an
oncoming vehicle's driver. Then, the aiming adjustment for the headlights is
performed by actuating actuators (35L, 35R) in accordance with the actuator
target value. The pitch angle is adequately processed by using a preferable
filter. Therefore, the aiming adjustment of the headlights is not performed
unnecessarily or erroneously.

around a fire hole of a burner in particular and heighten the heat load of a
combustion chamber to further reduce the size of the system as compared with
a prior art boiler. In the small once-through boiler, at least one regenerative
burner system 20 is provided in a combustion chamber 1, the regenerative
burner system 20 carrying out supply of combustion air A and exhaust of
combustion gas E through a regenerator 22 and relatively changing flows of
the combustion gas E and the combustion air A with respect to the regenerator
22 so as to supply the combustion air A via the regenerator 22 heated by heat
of the combustion gas; the water pipe group 4 is provided apart from the
combustion chamber wall surface 3 to form a passage 12 between the rear
surface of the water pipe group 4 and the combustion chamber wall surface 3;
and communicating openings 10 and 11 through which the combustion gas C
passes are formed between adjacent water pipes at upper and lower ends of
the water pipe group 4 so that a part of the combustion gas C can pass through
the passage 12 provided at the rear of the water pipe group 4, whereby a part
of the combustion gas C flows from the lower communicating openings 11 into
the passage 12 to move upward and again flows from the upper communicating
openings 10 into the combustion chamber 1.

Abstract: In a synchrotron radiation transmission system,
a curved mirror (15) is disposed in a mirror box (12) for reflecting synchrotron
radiation, the mirror box being formed with an incoming
opening (13) and an outgoing opening (14) through which the synchrotron
radiation having a horizontally elongated cross section
passes. A swinging mechanism (16) supports the mirror so as to allow
the synchrotron radiation which enters the mirror box via the
incoming opening to be reflected by the mirror and to change the
direction of propagation in a vertical plane and for swinging the
mirror to change the angle of deviation of the direction of propagation.
The swing axis is on a cross line, or on its extension, between
an incidence plane of the synchrotron radiation and a
tangential plane of the mirror at a reflection point and also on
an incidence side of the synchrotron radiation from the
reflection point. The swinging mechanism swings the mirror so
that the reflection point of the synchrotron radiation
moves on the reflecting surface of the mirror as the mirror swings,
and that an incidence angle becomes larger as a distance between
the source of the synchrotron radiation and the
reflection point becomes longer.

first piezoelectric substrate (13) and spaced in the direction
perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first
piezoelectric substrate (13), and a common electrode (17) is

Abstract: A joint prosthesis system includes first and second components that are joinable to one
another in a manner to permit axial rotation of one component relative to the other component
while achieving axial securement of the two components. In one embodiment the joint
prosthesis system is a knee joint prosthesis and the two components are a tibial tray and a tibial
bearing insert. The tibial bearing insert includes a mating stem that has one or more positive
surface features on its exterior surface. The positive surface features mate with axial slot(s)

mating cavity. Upon insertion the positive surface features are engaged by a circumferential
groove disposed distally of the axial slot(s). Misalignment of the positive surface features and
the axial slot(s) enables proper orientation of the tibial tray and tibial bearing insert, and
provides axial securement of the two components.
