Abstract: A container unit (1) for containing ingredients for a food or other
product has a hollow lid (10), an inner container (20) containing
ingredients, and an outer container (30) which is partially disposed within
the inner container (20) and which is pre- or subsequently filled with
ingredient. The lid (10) closes the mouths (23, 33) of both the inner and
outer containers and has a cavity (14) on its inside for containing an
additional ingredient which is sealed within the cavity (14) by foil so as to
maintain and preserve it within the cavity (14).

IPC: H04B1/26

Abstract: A single circuit-configured tuner capable of selectively switching between
two operating modes. A radio frequency ― quadrature-modulated by a base-band
digital signal ― is captured into a single input terminal and then split
into two signals. Each signal is fed into a mixer at each branch circuit block.
Each mixer receives an oscillating frequency of a local oscillator. At this time,
the oscillating frequency determines the operating mode. More specifically, in
the first operating mode, as the oscillating frequency is determined to be equal
to the rf signal, the rf signal undergoes quadrature detection, resulting that the
original base-band digital signal is obtained at an output terminal coupled to
each mixer, that is, the tuner works as an I/Q detection tuner. On the other
hand, in the second operating mode, as the oscillating frequency is determined
so that the difference between the oscillating frequency and the frequency of the
rf signal is to be equal to an IF, the tuner works as an IF tuner. In the latter
case, one of the IF signals obtained from the two mixers is given a 90°
phase―shift and added in phase with the other signal, and is fed into a single
output terminal.

Abstract: A method for determining oxidation in turbine buckets (30) allows for
conditional based maintenance of the turbine buckets (30). The method
includes measuring a temperature of a turbine bucket (30) and comparing the
measured temperature to a temperature of a reference turbine bucket to
determine the condition of the bucket (30). The method provides useful
temperature data to determine if the turbine should be stopped and the bucket
(30) serviced. This method may be used in place of interval based
maintenance to increase bucket (30) life, reduce bucket (30) failure, and
increase turbine operating time.

Abstract: Provided a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack with at least
two cell units. Each cell unit includes: a catalyzed membrane (11) formed by catalyzing
both surfaces of an electrolyte layer; a fuel flow field portion (12) and air flow field portion (15)
formed at opposite surfaces of the catalyzed membrane, at least one of the fuel and
air flow field portions comprising a parallel flow field (12b,15b) which induces gas flow in a
direction parallel to the surface of the catalyzed membrane and an orthogonal flow
field (12a,15a) which induces gas flow in a direction orthogonal to the surface of the catalyzed
membrane; a bipolar plate (14) in contact with each outer surface of the fuel flow region
portion and the air flow region portions. The volume and weight of the entire fuel
cell stack can be flexibly reduced by adjusting the number of cell units. In addition,
a defective cell unit can be easily replaced without performance degradation in the
cell stack. The use of bipolar plates as electrodes promotes gas flow. The
PEMFC stack can effectively dissipate the reaction heat with a cooling member (30) and
can increase the power density per unit weight and volume. In particular, a
pressure drop can be prevented with a serpentine air flow channel formed in the air
flow field region, thereby increasing fuel conversion efficiency.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp comprises a driving mechanism, including a solenoid
(19), capable of moving a bulb (12) and a shutter (21) into a first and
a second position. When the bulb (12) and the shutter (21) are in said
first position the shutter (21) closes the window (14e). Thus the light
emitted by the light emitting portion (12a) of the bulb (12) passing
through the opening (14c) of the shade (14), is reflected by the
reflector (13) and forms a first light distribution pattern (B1). 
     When the bulb (12) and the shutter (21) are positioned in said
second position the window (14c) is open; thus part of the light emitted
by the light emitting portion (12a) of the bulb (12) can escape through
the window (14e), is reflected by the reflector (13) and forms, together
with the light emitted through the opening (14c), a second light
distribution pattern (B2).

Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention
includes an image carrier whose surface is movable in a
preselected direction while carrying a toner image thereon.
A movable body has a surface movable in the same direction
as the image carrier in contact with the image carrier,
thereby forming a nip. A drive member exerts a force that
pulls a portion of the movable body contacting the image
carrier out of the nip. An image transfer unit transfers
the toner image from the image carrier to the movable body
at the nip. A controller controllably drives the image
carrier and movable body such that the movable body starts
moving after the image carrier. The apparatus not only
reduces the image forming time, but also frees images from
disfigurement ascribable to the slack of the movable body.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer (P2P) probing/network quality of service (QoS) analysis system utilizes a UDP-based probing tool for determining latency, bandwidth, and packet loss ratio between peers in a network. The probing tool enables network QoS probing between peers that connect through a network address translator. The list of peers to probe is provided by a connection server based on prior probe results and an estimate of the network condition. The list includes those peers which are predicted to have the best QoS with the requesting peer. Once the list is obtained, the requesting peer probes the actual QoS to each peer on the list, and returns these results to the connection server. P2P probing in parallel using a modified packet-pair scheme is utilized. If anomalous results are obtained, a hop-by-hop probing scheme is utilized to determine the QoS of each link. In such a scheme, differential destination measurement is utilized.
