Abstract: A piston (11) in a compressor reciprocates between a top dead centre and a bottom dead centre in a cylinder bore (2a) via a driving body (9) mounted on a rotating shaft (6) in a crank chamber (5) in association with the rotation of the rotating shaft (6). The piston has an external circumferential surface that is in sliding contact with an internal circumferential surface of the cylinder bore (2a). Grooves (17; 44; 46) extending in the axial direction (S) of the piston (11) are formed in the external circumferential surface of the piston (11). Lubricant adhering to the internal circumferential surface of the cylinder bore (2a) is collected into the grooves (17; 44; 46) in association with the reciprocating movement of the piston (11), and when the grooves (17; 44; 46) are exposed from the inside of the cylinder bore (2a) to the inside of the crank chamber (5), lubricant in the grooves (17; 44; 46) is supplied into the crank chamber (5). The driving body (9) and the like in the crank chamber (5) are lubricated by means of this lubricant.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus and an information display method of this invention, user operates client computer to connect it to server computer by using communication line to carry out, when user accepts offer of service, e.g., offer of information, video viewing or order of goods, etc., an operation to display entrance hall within virtually actualized space on the display of the client computer, and to further display thereon plural shops by a specific pattern in relation to the entrance hall. As an example of the specific pattern, there is used a pattern such that entrance hall is disposed at one side of polygon, respective shops are disposed at other respective sides, and the entrance hall is caused to have a height capable of viewing other respective shops by bird's eye. Thus, in the three-dimensional GUI, the retrievability and the functional availability are increased. In addition, it becomes possible to also adopt, in a natural form, the concept with which many users who have used the two-dimensional GUI are familiar.

Abstract: Un capteur de pression (12) se trouve à l'étage de compresseur d'un turbo-moteur (10) afin d'émettre un signal de pression (PR1) révélateur des caractéristiques de débit du compresseur. Ce signal de pression (PR1) est appliqué à un filtre passe-bande (16) avec des pentes de diminution supérieure et inférieure à N2. La différence entre la sortie de filtre et une valeur mémorisée concernant le signal de pression est intégrée et des soupapes de purge (18) du compresseur sont ouvertes si l'intégrale dépasse un seuil mémorisé. On détermine la 'bonne santé' de l'étage de compresseur par une analyse de l'ampleur des variations de pression du compresseur à N2 tout en faisant accélérer le moteur, ainsi que par une comparaison de cette ampleur avec des valeurs obtenues sur un compresseur dont on connaît la marge de calage.

Abstract: A rotary encoder has a scale 22 which rotates relative to a pair of readheads 14. Each of the readheads projects light onto the scale and generates at an analyser grating 40, a periodic light pattern, such as interference fringes. The interference fringes and the analyser grating interact to produce a series of resultant Vernier fringes which are incident upon a structure detector array 100. In one embodiment the analyser grating is configured to interact with the angularly extending interference fringes to generate linear resultant fringes. It has been found that phase errors due to eccentric rotation of the scale 22 reduce with decreasing pitch of the resultant fringes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A class of fire suppressant compounds which have labile bromine atoms bound to atoms other than carbon have been discovered to be more effective at suppressing fires than Halon 1211 and Halon 1301. Moreover, this class of fire suppressant compounds hydrolyze or oxidize rapidly in the troposphere and as a consequence thereof, they have minimal ozone depletion potential.

Abstract: A thermal imaging device (10) provides for its use with a variety of accessory telescopic lenses (12). Each of the accessory telescopic lenses (12) and the thermal imaging device (10) include cooperating physical features allowing the lenses (12) to be mated with the device (10) in a single relative position. Each lens (12) also carries a uniquely positioned magnet (176), and the thermal imaging device (10) includes a plurality of magnetically-responsive sensors (178) responding to the magnets (176) of the various lenses (12) to identify which (if any) of the accessory lens (12) is installed on the device (10). Some of the accessory lenses (12) also include a variable-power feature. These variable-power lenses (12) have an additional magnet (182) moving between an effective position and an ineffective position in response to a user-selected power setting for the lens (12). The thermal imaging device (10) includes an additional magnetically-responsive sensor (178) affected by the additional magnet (182) in its effective position, but not effected in the ineffective position of this additional magnet (182). Thus, the thermal imaging device (10) also identifies the power setting of an installed variable-power lens (12). The thermal imaging device (10) is provided with internal adjustments and operational options which are automatically implemented dependent upon which of the accessory lenses (12) a user installs on the device (10).

Date May 29, 1997Packaging containers for liquid contents, for example milk, are normally manufactured from laminated packaging material including a carrier or core layer of fiber material which is coated on each side with plastic layers. In order to facilitate folding of the material, this is normally provided with a pattern of weakening crease lines which facilitate the reforming into the desired packaging container configuration. A method of retroforming or calibrating a packaging container for realizing more accurate final configuration, sharper fold lines and thereby for imparting to the packaging container improved steadiness and stability comprises the steps of surrounding the packaging container (1) with a forming device (11) adapted to the final configuration of the packaging container, and of displacing parts (12, 13) of the forming device towards one another so that the free space for the packaging container is briefly reduced. An apparatus for carrying the method according to the present invention into effect comprises a forming device (11) with moving forming parts which, in the closed position, define a forming cavity of a volume which amounts to between 100 and 110 per cent of the theoretical minimum volume of a processed packaging container.

Abstract: Un article moulé ou extrudé, réalisé en un copolymère de propylène et d'une α-oléfine supérieure (c'est-à-dire ayant 5 atomes de carbone ou davantage) obtenu en utilisant un système catalyseur du type alliage organométallique offre une bien meilleure résistance au fluage à froid et une bien plus grande résilience que lorsque ce copolymère de propylène contient une α-oléfine ayant 4 atomes de carbone ou moins. D'autres caractéristiques telles que la résistance à la rupture et la résistance aux impacts sont aussi nettement plus élevées. Ces polymères peuvent être utilisés d'une manière avantageuse pour réaliser des profilés extrudés et des pièces moulées soit seuls, soit dans une oléfine thermoplastique. Les pièces réalisées en copolymères de propylène et d'une α-oléfine supérieure ont une résistance améliorée au fluage par comparaison avec les copolymères de propylène et d'éthylène.

Abstract: Light input from a first optical fiber (101) is split up into two orthogonally-polarized beams by a polarizing prism (106-1). Their polarization planes are rotated by a 45 degree Faraday rotator (107-1). The beams are refracted by a birefringent wedge (108-1) as extraordinary light, and finally output to a fourth optical fiber (104). The light output from the fourth optical fiber (104) is refracted by a birefringent wedge (108-2) as ordinary light, and enters a second optical fiber (102). Similarly, the light from the second optical fiber (102) is led to a third optical fiber (103), thereby implementing a capability of an optical circulator. Light output from the first optical fiber (101) can be input to the third optical fiber (103) by inverting a rotation angle of the 45-degree Faraday rotator. As a result, it serves as a magneto-optical switch.
