Patent EP-1172292-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OKOSHI HIDEO
IPC: F16H13/04
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: A drive arrangement clamps an output disc (90) such as a tire
with two driving rollers (91, 92) so as to drive the output disc. The
drive arrangement is compact, light-weight, low-noise and
inexpensive, and can be used for a bicycle equipped with an electrical
assist drive or various kinds of welfare-specific vehicles. The drive
apparatus includes an input shaft (2) and two output shafts (3, 4)
extending in a single plane in parallel to each other. The input
shaft has an input roller (21), and each of the output shafts has an
output roller (31, 41). A loading roller (51) is located between the
input roller and one of the output rollers, and an axis of the loading
roller is slightly spaced from the plane of the two output shafts. An
outer peripheral surface of each roller is a substantially cylindrical
rolling surface. The loading roller is preloaded by a preload spring
(53) such that it squeezes between the input roller and one of the
output rollers. A friction force generated on the rolling surface by a
torque exerted on the input roller pushes in the loading roller
between the rolling surfaces of the input roller and one of the output
rollers so that a large normal force is produced between the rolling
surfaces. A friction force at the rolling surface transmits the torque
of the input shaft to the two output shafts.

Title: Resolving recording conflicts between coinciding recording programming
Inventor: POTREBIC PETER J
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2001-08-17
Abstract: A recording system uses electronic program guide information to resolve conflicts
between programs that have been selected by a viewer for recording. The recording
system allows the viewer to select conflicting (i.e., coinciding) programs for recording,
while communicating to the viewer that a conflict exists. Conflicts can be automatically
resolved in response to a dynamic change to the recording system, such as an increase in
the number of tuners available for recording. Conflicts can also be automatically resolved
as senior conflicting programs are taken off the broadcast schedule or are deselected by the
viewer. A junior program that conflicts with a senior repeating program can be scheduled
for recording by removing from the recording schedule only those instances of the senior
repeating program that actually conflict with the junior program, while keeping non-conflicting
showings of the repeating program on the schedule. The recording system can
also search the electronic program guide for alternate showings of a selected episode of a
conflicting program, such that the conflict can be resolved if a non-conflicting showing of
the episode is found.

Abstract: The rotational angle detecting apparatus, comprising: 
targets provided on a rotor to output a signal which repeats
periodical increase and decrease in accordance with rotation of the
rotor; a first detector for detecting an adjacent part of a target;
and a second detector for detecting a part, which is a
predetermined angle distant in a circumferential direction of the
rotor from the part detected by the first detector, detects the
rotational angle of the rotor based on the detected signal
outputted from one of the detectors. The memory stores,
corresponding to a detected signal value which should be
outputted from selected one of the detectors, a detected signal
value which should be synchronously outputted from the other
detector. Malfunction can be detected by judging whether the
detected signal value which is stored in the memory is
approximately the same as the detected signal outputted actually.

Abstract: A dental restoration is prepared by placing a glass-ceramic material in a heat-pressure
deformable crucible. Heat is then applied to the crucible in order to bring the
glass-ceramic material to working range at temperatures above its liquidus temperature.
The heat deformation properties of the crucible are such that, when the glass-ceramic
material in the crucible is in the working range, the crucible is heat-pressure deformable
without rupturing. Once the glass-ceramic material is heated to its working temperature,
the crucible is brought into contact with a mold having a preformed cavity therein, the
cavity being in the shape of the desired dental restoration. As the distance between the
heated glass-ceramic material and the mold is decreased, the crucible is deformed to
form a seal with the mold, thereby facilitating the injection of the molten glass-ceramic
material into the mold cavity. The resulting dental restoration has superior optical
aesthetic and strength properties.

Abstract: A novel procedure for performing protein labeling for comparative proteomics termed inverse labeling is provided for the rapid identification of marker or target proteins. With this method, to evaluate protein expression of a disease or a drug treated sample in comparison with a control sample, two converse collaborative labeling experiments are performed in parallel. In one experiment the perturbed sample (by disease or by drug treatment) is isotopically heavy-labeled, whereas, the control is isotopically heavy-labeled in the second experiment. When mixed and analyzed with its unlabeled or isotope light counterpart for differential comparison, a characteristic inverse labeling pattern is observed between the two parallel analyses for proteins that are differentially expressed to an appreciable level. In particularly useful embodiments, protein labeling is achieved through proteolytic 18O-incorporation into peptides as a result of proteolysis performed in 18O-water, metabolic incorporation of 15N (or 13C and 2H) into proteins, and chemically tagging proteins with an isotope-coded tag reagent such as an isotope-coded affinity tag reagent.

elements (C11-C14) are comprised by the electrodes (E11-E14)

electrodes. The capacitance values thereof are converted into
voltage values (V11-V14) by C/V converter circuit (50), and
based on operation by signal processing circuit (60), an
external force applied to the elastic deformable body is
detected. A pair of contacting electrodes (E15, E16) are formed
on the substrate (40), and when an external force with a
predetermined strength or more is applied, the elastic
deformable body (20) deforms, and the displacing conductive
layer (26) comes into contact with both the contacting
electrodes (E15, E16), simultaneously. The potential of the
contacting electrode (E16) is taken-in from the terminal (T5),
and when said potential is Vcc, the C/V converter circuit (50)
is operated in a standby mode with less power consumption, and
when said potential is GND, the circuit is operated in a normal
