Patent EP-1048398-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MCNAMARA JEFFREY S
IPC: B65G25/02
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: A workpiece transfer apparatus with a shuttle (12) underlying workpieces (16) received
on workstations (18) which is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism (14) disposed above
the workpieces. The shuttle has a support rail (22) and an indexing rail (20) operably connected
to a drive for advancing and retracting the indexing rail relative to the workstations.
To transfer one or more workpieces from their current workstations to respective
subsequent workstations, the shuttle is raised by the overhead lifting mechanism to
engage the workpieces from underneath and raise the workpieces from their current
workstations. The indexing rail is advanced to position the workpieces above
respective subsequent workstations and the shuttle is lowered to place the workpieces
on these subsequent workstations. Subsequently, the indexing rail is retracted to its
starting position so that the apparatus is ready for the next transfer cycle.

IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2000-08-08
Abstract: An access-history indicating method sequentially records a history of access by a user to a resource object such as a file or a WWW page. In the method, an access history icon that visually represents access-history information is generated and is displayed in the vicinity of the corresponding icon on a desktop screen or in the vicinity of an anchor of a WWW page. The access history icon has an image in which events of accessing the corresponding resource object are displayed on a time base. The image may be displayed by separating the type of access into modification and reference. The user can obtain a visual and intuitive understanding about a history of access to each file and a history of updating each file. The obtained information can be used as an important key for selecting among files and WWW pages.

IPC: G03B27/50
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: When an image reading apparatus (1) shifts
from a standby condition to a power economizing
state, a buffer (15) electrically disconnects a
connection path 14. Subsequently, a switch 13
electrically disconnects a power supply path 12.
When the image reading apparatus 1 shifts from a
power economizing state to a standby condition, the
switch 13 electrically connects the power supply
path 12, thereby commencing the supply of power to
an image pickup section 20. Subsequently, the
buffer 15 electrically connects the connection path
14. Consequently, even in a case where the supply
of power to the image pickup section 20 is stopped,
an electric current will not flow from the image
processing section 6 to an analog-to-digital
converter 22. Thus, breakage of elements included
in the analog-to-digital converter 22 can be
prevented. Further, when the image reading
apparatus 1 is in a power economizing state, the
supply of power to the image pickup section 20 and
the fan 10 as well as to a light source 51 is
stopped. Therefore, the image reading apparatus 1
can reduce power consumption by a greater amount
than does a related image reading apparatus which
extinguishes only a light source.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system for an automotive
internal combustion engine which discharges oxygen-excessive
exhaust gas under lean-burn operation. The exhaust gas purifying
system comprises a NOx reducing catalyst for reducing NOx in the
presence of at least hydrogen serving as reducing agent. The NOx
reducing catalyst is disposed in an exhaust gas passageway of the
engine. The NOx reducing catalyst includes a porous substrate, and
platinum and cesium carried on the porous substrate. A catalyst is
disposed in the exhaust gas passageway in order to produce
hydrogen so as to enrich the oxygen-excessive exhaust gas with
hydrogen before the oxygen-excessive exhaust gas reaches the NOx
reducing catalyst. The oxygen-excessive exhaust gas enriched with
hydrogen is introduced through the exhaust gas passageway to the
NOx reducing catalyst. Here, the oxygen-excessive exhaust gas
enriched with hydrogen is brought into contact with the NOx
reducing catalyst under a condition in which temperature of at least
one of the NOx reducing catalyst and the oxygen-excessive exhaust
gas enriched with hydrogen is within a range of from 250 to 600 °C.

Abstract: An exposed part of at least one of two optical fibers
with different mode field distributions to be fusion spliced
is heated by a burner, to thereby continuously vary its mode
field distribution in the longitudinal direction of the optical
fiber, and the exposed end part of at least one of the optical

splice end faces of the two optical fibers to be fusion spliced
are substantially coincident with each other in configuration,
the two optical fibers are fusion spliced, whereby low splice
loss is realized. Thereafter, the heated portion of the
optical fiber is subjected to a surface treatment by etching
process using a hydrofluoric acid solution, whereby a
deterioration of its mechanical strength is prevented.

Abstract: Gas turbine blade ring is cooled by steam of which temperature,
pressure and flow rate are controlled so that clearance between
moving blade tip and blade ring is maintained appropriately. Steam
from steam turbine bottoming cycle (10) flows into blade ring
cooling passage (8) of gas turbine (1) via piping (12) for cooling
blade ring. The steam having cooled the blade ring is supplied
into transition piece cooling passage (9) of combustor (3) for
cooling transition piece and is then recovered into the steam
turbine bottoming cycle (10) via piping (14). While the steam cools
the blade ring, temperature, pressure and flow rate of the steam
are controlled so that thermal elongation of the blade ring is
adjusted and the clearance at the moving blade tip is controlled so
as to approach target value. Thus, the clearance is maintained as
small as possible in operation and gas turbine performance is
enhanced.
