Patent EP-0878579-A3 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSON MICHAEL CARL
IPC: D21F7/08
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: A felt (14) for use in a papermaking machine includes a
woven base fabric (18) and a batt layer (22) for supporting a
paper web. A flow control layer (20) is interposed between the
base fabric and the fibrous batt layer (22), to impede rewetting
of the paper web as the paper web exits a press nip of the
papermaking machine. The flow control layer (20) is formed of
a porous hydrophobic material. In use, pressure exerted by the
press nip forces water from the paper web through the batt layer
(22) and the flow control layer (20) into the base fabric (18),
and when the pressure is relieved, the hydrophobic properties of
the flow control layer (20) impede back-flow of water to the batt
layer (22) and thence to the paper web, thereby impeding
rewetting of the web. A preferred flow control layer (20) is
formed of a spunbonded filamentary nylon material which is non-circular
in cross-section, such as tri-lobed/triangular, and may
be treated with a hydrophobic chemical composition to enhance its
hydrophobic properties. The batt layer (22) and the base layer
(18) are preferably secured into the felt by a needling process.

Abstract: A pulsed optical signal (13) of a network (23) is
monitored to obtain eye measurement data as a means of
obtaining an indication of signal degradation. Optical
sampling of the optical signal is effected by means of
an interferometer (2) in which sampling optical pulses
(8) are propagated equally through arms (3) and (4) of
the interferometer which include semiconducter optical
amplifiers (5,6). The optical signal to be monitored is
counter propagated through one arm of the interferometer,
thereby setting an interference condition of the
interferometer by cross modulation in one of the
semiconductor optical amplifiers. The output is detected
and converted to electrical signals which are processed
to obtain the eye measurement data. Parameters defining
the quality of the eye are extracted and processed to
locate defects occurring within a network by deploying
eye monitors (20,21,22) at a number of locations (A,B,C).
Elements (A,B,C) of the network may be controlled using
the output parameters.

IPC: H01L21/302
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A method of processing a semiconductor wafer sliced
from a monocrystalline ingot comprises at least the steps of
chamfering, lapping, etching, mirror-polishing, and cleaning.
In the etching step, alkali etching is first performed and
then acid etching, preferably reaction-controlled acid
etching, is performed. The etching amount of the alkali
etching is greater than the etching amount of the acid
etching. Alternatively, in the etching step, reaction-controlled
acid etching is first performed and then
diffusion-controlled acid etching is performed. The etching
amount of the reaction-controlled acid etching is greater
than the etching amount of the diffusion-controlled acid
etching. The method can remove a mechanically formed damage
layer, improve surface roughness, and efficiently decrease
the depth of locally formed deep pits, while the flatness of
the wafer attained through lapping is maintained, in order to
produce a chemically etched wafer having a smooth and flat
etched surface that hardly causes generation particles and
contamination.

Filed: 1999-04-06
Abstract: The method involves simulating current actual values by test signals independently of the high voltage generator (1). In addition based on the actual value of the voltage, the residual energy is determined, which is remaining to a predetermined time point after the switching off of the high voltage, still in the energy storage system, fed from the high voltage generator. When a threshold value is exceeded, an alarm or a switching signal is produced. The simulation signals are produced by the high voltage control unit.
Patent EP-0955652-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WEHRLI III HENRY ANTHONY
IPC: H01H3/30
Filed: 1999-05-05
Abstract: Electrical switching apparatus (1) such as a power circuit breaker,
network protector or switch has a self-supporting operating mechanism module (17)
including a cage (95) formed by a pair of side plates (97) rigidly clamped in spaced
relation by spacers (99). The cage (95) supports all of the operating mechanism
components (18,107,109,113) including a helical compression close spring (18)
mounted fully between the side plates (97) and coupled to a cam member (171) through
a rocker (155) in a manner which maintains the forces longitudinal to the spring (18).
The cam member (171) has a charging cam (173) with a charge profile (189a) for
compressing the close spring (18) and a close profile (189b) through which the spring
(18) drives the cam member (171) to effect a controlled release of stored energy to close
the contacts of the apparatus. A close prop (223), spring biased to an unlatched
position, is latched to secure the close spring (18) in the charged state by a latch
assembly (225) reset by a reset lever (247) separate from the close prop (223) which in
turn is reset by rotation of the cam member (171) during charging. An interlock (265)
prevents release of the close spring (18) when the contacts (43) are closed or the trip
release is actuated. An indicator (27) actuated by a driver (345) pivoted against the cam
shaft (115) snaps from a DISCHARGED to a CHARGED indication as the close spring
(18) becomes fully charged and the driver (345) drops into a notch (343) created by a
flat on the cam shaft (115). A snap action open/closed indicator (29) for the switch
contacts (43) is also provided. Both indicators (27,29) are pivotally mounted in a face
plate (19) pinned to the side plates (97) and are connected to the operating mechanism
by wireforms (349,381). The close and open push buttons (23,25) snap out to a
common shaft (301) and have actuating fingers (305,309) which trigger releases in the
operating mechanism (17). The close rotating shafts (213,239) are journaled solely in 
confronting apertures in the side plates (97). The cam shaft (115) is captured between
bushings (117) seated in non-circular openings (119) in the side plates (97) thereby
eliminating the need for any fasteners. Likewise, other parts (165) mounted between
the side plates (97) and joined by pins (167) having enlarged heads (169) retained by the
side plates (97) do not need retainers. Various shafts (451) extending between the side
plates (97) have reduced diameter ends (457) of progressive lengths for successive
insertion in one side plate (97z) to aid in assembly of the operating mechanism (17).

den gesamten Querschnitt von Rohrleitungen verwendet man sogenannte Kreuzkanalmischer,
welche aus mehreren übereinandergeschichteten Folien gebildet werden.
Um eine Durchmischung in zwei unter 90° zueinander stehenden Ebenen zu erreichen
sind zwei in Reihe geschaltete Mischelemente erforderlich. Erfindungsgemäß wird eine
vollständige Durchmischung mit einem Mischelement erzielt, indem man die zu einem
Mischelement zusammengefügten Folien 2 um die Hauptströmungsrichtung dreht.
Durch diese Drehung wird eine Durchmischung, beispielsweise von Abgas und Harnstoffpartikeln
vor dem Eintritt in einen Katalysator zur Reduktion von NOx erzielt.
Man spart das in Reihe geschaltete zweite Mischelement und spart neben Kosten auch
wertvollen Bauraum.

Abstract: An antenna system (10) having a front reflector (12)
and a rear reflector (14) arranged in tandem, a front feed
(16) for illuminating the front reflector (12), and a rear
feed (18) for illuminating the rear reflector (14). Each
of the reflectors has a generally dish-shaped
configuration, and the feeds are located in positions
offset from axes of the respective reflectors. The front
reflector (12) is reflective to a first radiation, while
being substantially transparent to a second radiation
except for a fraction of the power of the second radiation.
The fractional part of the second radiation is reflected
from the first reflector (12) as an interfering beam, the
interfering beam being scanned away from a coverage region
of a beam (28) of the first radiation by an offset between
the feeds (16, 18). The radiations may differ in
polarization or in frequency. There may be a complete
shading of the rear reflector (14) by the front reflector
(12) from the radiation of the rear feed (18) to produce
uniform illumination of the rear reflector for greater
accuracy in a formation of a beam from the rear reflector.
Six degrees of freedom in positioning and orientation of
the reflectors (12, 14) and their feeds (16, 18) provides
maximum design flexibility for obtaining a compact antenna.
