IPC: B25B27/10
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A crimping assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes cam profiles on the ends of the arms. The cam profiles are engaged by the crimping tool and control the input force versus displacement of the tool. The cam profile includes a first portion defined by a radius, a second portion adjacent the first portion and defined by a non-linear equation, and a third portion adjacent the second portion and defined by a linear equation. The assembly further includes a passive mode of failure in the side plates. The arms of the assembly have a hardness greater than the side plates and have a maximum section height at their point of rotation for increasing their strength. The assembly further includes a leaf spring disposed between the arms and held therebetween by pins disposed in holes defined in the sides of the arms. A crimp ring having an increased diameter is disclosed for reducing the crimping force required to crimp 3-inch fittings.

Abstract: Un connecteur coaxial destiné à connecter un organe coaxial à un composant d'accouplement comprend un corps avant, un corps arrière, un conducteur central et un écrou. L'écrou entoure le corps avant et est bloqué de manière à ne pas pouvoir pivoter par rapport au corps avant; il peut cependant coulisser axialement par rapport au corps avant. Une première extrémité du corps avant comprend une surface filetée destinée à mettre en prise le composant d'accouplement fileté. Le corps arrière comprend un trou foré central, coaxial avec l'axe longitudinal du corps avant. Une première extrémité du corps arrière entoure la deuxième extrémité du corps avant et peut pivoter et coulisser par rapport à celui-ci, auquel elle est fixée, par exemple, au moyen d'un anneau de rétention, entre une position repliée et une position déployée. La deuxième extrémité du corps arrière est conçue pour mettre en prise un élément coaxial, p. ex., l'extrémité d'un câble coaxial. Le conducteur central repose à l'intérieur du trou foré central du corps avant sur un isolateur de support, qui permet le couplage électrique et mécanique d'un conducteur central de l'élément coaxial à un conducteur central du composant d'accouplement susmentionné. Lorsque la première extrémité du corps avant se visse sur le composant d'accouplement, l'écrou s'appuie contre le corps arrière et l'éloigne du corps avant. Une rondelle en O est disposée entre la deuxième extrémité du corps avant et le trou foré central du corps arrière; la rondelle en O est comprimée pour former un joint lorsque l'écrou pousse le corps arrière vers sa position déployée et l'éloigne du corps avant.

Inventor: MCLAUGHLIN HUGH J
IPC: H04M1/60
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: In a speakerphone system (46; and 70), the signal that is directed to a loudspeaker (58) is filtered by a dynamically controllable highpass filter (50). The filter characteristics are adjusted on the basis of the power of the signal and the degree of recent microphone activity (62). The filtered signal is a far-talker signal, while the microphone activity is represented as a near-talker signal that includes an echo component as a consequence of loudspeaker-to-microphone coupling. The degree of microphone activity is determined by a subband analyzer (78). A noise floor estimator (82) may be used to determine the degree to which the near-talker signal is comprised of background noise, so that the noise can be eliminated in the process of controlling the highpass filter.

Abstract: This invention is a method of imaging arteries distinctly from veins using nuclear
magnetic resonance imaging in combination with intravenous administration of a
magnetic resonance contrast agent. The contrast agent is intravenously injected in
such a way that the arterial contrast concentration is substantially higher than the
venous and background tissue concentration for a sufficiently long period of time to
acquire the magnetic resonance image. The injection site of the contrast agent is
chosen such that it is in a vein which is remote from the artery of interest. The
magnetic resonance contrast agent may be intravenously infused at a variable
infusion rate.

carries out a pivoting on its axis by a hydraulic actuator, wherein the
robot follows a previously set trajectory and detects the chill position by
an encoder associated to the hydraulic pivoting axis, compares it to the
casting cup position and, on the basis of the difference between said two
values of position, acts on the flow rate of the fluid fed to the hydraulic
actuator for accelerating or slowing down the rotation of said hydraulic
axis. The invention also relates to a hydraulic axis for the rotation of the
chill in the chilling process served by the robot, characterised in that it is
