Title: System for controlling the tapping operation.
Inventor: IWAGAYA TAKASHI
IPC: B23G1/16
Filed: 1987-03-25
Abstract: A system for controlling the tapping operation in which the turning of tap is effected by a digital spindle motor (1) in synchronism with the drive of tap in the axial direction by a servo motor (2) for tapping operation of high accuracy and high reliability. A speed instruction is supplied from a position control means (4) to a digital control circuit (5) which drives a spindle motor, the speed instruction being based upon a distribution pulse from an interpolation circuit (3a) which performs linear interpolation depending upon the pitch of a screw that is to be machined and upon a feedback signal that represents the rotational position of the spindle motor. The distribution pulse is further supplied to a servo circuit (12) for the servo motor from the interpolation circuit. Therefore, the two motors are driven in synchronism with each other. In one embodiment, the tapping operation is effected according to a fixed cycle in which the two motors are turned forward and reverse repeatedly to reciprocate the tap. In another embodiment, a switching means (7) to supply the distribution pulse and the feedback signal intermittently is provided in order to selectively perform the tapping operation.

Title: Heat transfer and carpet dye fixation method and apparatus
IPC: D06B19/00
Filed: 1989-06-02
Abstract: Liquid dye deposited on the pile (18) of a carpet tile can be fixed by inserting an array of heated pins (11) into the pile. The pins, mounted on a block (12), penetrate the tufts of the pile which have liquid dye thereon, but do not penetrate the backing of the carpet tile. A heating element (13), to raise the pins to the fixation temperature of from 90 DEG C to 100 DEG C, is clamped to or located within the block. Preferably, both the block and the pins are made of metal (not necessarily the same metal). This equipment can be used to heat other penetrable media. Replacement of the heating element with a cooling element enables similar equipment to be used to cool a penetrable medium.

Title: Improved method and system for asepticizing contact lenses and storing device
IPC: G02C13/00
Filed: 1991-01-11
Abstract: Light-transmitting contact lenses of Polymethylacrylate, Gas Permeable of Hydrogel materials may be immersed in an aqueous liquid medium contained in a storing and processing device, all of which are substantially transparent to the ultraviolet radiation spectrum. The lenses, liquid medium and storing device are all irradiated with ultraviolet radiation in a preselected frequency range, while simultaneously being subjected to ultrasonic frequency vibrations to thereby cause asepticization of lenses, liquid medium and storing device. The ultraviolet irradiation and ultrasonic vibrations are insufficient to cause detrimental molecular modification to the lenses or storing device, but does cause the formation of oxidation free radicals in the liquid medium. The unique combination of ultraviolet irradiation and ultrasonic vibration in the presence of the liquid medium containing oxidation free radicals cause rapid destruction of all microorganisms associated with the lenses, liquid medium and storing device.

Title: Smart blind spot sensor.
Inventor: PAKETT ALLAN G
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: A radar system for sensing the presence of obstacles in a vehicle's "blind spots" and generating a signal to the vehicle operator indicative of the presence of such an obstacle. The system uses a common radar transceiver that transmits a radio frequency signal directed at a blind spot of the vehicle. The signal is reflected off any obstacles that are present in that blind spot region. A Doppler shift in the received reflected frequency generally indicates that an obstacle has moved into the blind spot. Doppler frequencies attributable to objects which are of no interest, such as stationary objects, are filtered out. Only obstacles that are traveling at approximately the same speed and direction as the vehicle are considered to be of interest, and will cause the blind spot sensor to generate an indication that an obstacle is present in the blind spot. The indication is preferably an unobtrusive illuminated indicator which is affixed to one of the vehicle's mirrors. In addition to the illuminated indicator affixed to a mirror, an obtrusive audible indicator is provided in the preferred embodiment of the present invention which creates an audible tone, whistle, or buzz when an obstacle is present and the vehicle's turn signal is active.

Filed: 1994-05-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés efficaces pour empêcher l'apparition des symptômes accompagnant la perte de la fonction ovarienne (par exemple chez les femmes ayant subi une ovariectomie) pendant une certaine durée. Les procédés consistent essentiellement à administrer une dose efficace d'une composition ÷strogène et une dose efficace d'une composition androgène. Les niveaux des ÷strogènes et des androgènes mis en ÷uvre sont suffisants pour réduire les pertes de teneur en minéraux des os et pour réduire au minimum les effets secondaires observés après une ovariectomie. Les doses sont suffisamment basses pour réduire au minimum les effets néfastes sur le pronostic à long terme du patient ou (dans le cas de la testostérone) les effets secondaires supplémentaires.
