Patent EP-0924475-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUNO YUKIO
IPC: F24F13/14
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: An airflow-adjusting damper (10-1,10-2,10-3,10-4,10-5) comprises a
casing (12) in which an airflow path is formed internally and vane
portions (14,62,64) which are rotated in the casing so as to open/close
the airflow path (P), the vane portions (14,62,64) containing a
plurality of vane plates (16a,16b,66a,66b,68a,68b) which are overlaid
mutually, slidably mounted thereon and have a plurality of holes (18).
This prevents occurence of a large wind noise which may be generated
when the vane plates (16a,16b,66a,66b,68a,68b) are opened/closed,
prevents drift current near an edge of the damper, assures rectification
of current and improves airflow detecting accuracy of a sensor.

Abstract: The embroidery machine, and especially a shuttle embroidery machine, has an individual thread guide (17) which can be moved in and out of action for each embroidery point (S1-S3). A switch unit simultaneously moves the needles (15) and the thread guides (17) in and out of action at an embroidery point (S1-S3), and also acts on a further unit such as a fabric drill (43), thread brake and/or thread monitor at the embroidery point (S1-S3). A coupling (51,53,69), at a unit (15,43,17) to be switched in and out of action, engages a straight edge (33,42,37) according to the position of the switch unit for one or more embroidery points (S1-S3), or is held by the switch unit in a disengaged position. A spring holds the couplings in the engaged position, to be moved against the spring action by the switch unit. The switch unit has a trough at a switch rod to secure the coupling away from the straight edge. The switch unit is operated pneumatically. The thread guide (17) is between two thread deflectors, and moves across the line of thread travel in a vertical movement. An eyelet (65) is at a thread guide lever (63), which is given a translatory movement by a swing shaft (61). The thread guide lever can be linked at an intermediate lever, as a swing coupling. The thread guide lever (63) is operated by a unit (37,35,25,11) which is engaged and disengaged. A common drive shaft (11) operates a number of units (15,17) at an embroidery point (S1-S3) with an additional and independent switch unit to switch needles (15) and/or thread guide (17) at a needle slide. The thread guide (17) for one embroidery point is operated independently of the thread guides (17) at the other embroidery points.

Abstract: Conventional plastic processing technology can be used to manufacture a radome
through which electromagnetic waves for radar with high frequencies of several tens of
gigahertz can pass with good transmission efficiency, and which amply protects
transmitting and receiving antenna elements from wind and rain. The angle of incidence of
electromagnetic waves at the surface of the radome is set to be approximately equal to the
Brewster angle, said radome being formed from a dielectric material, facing the direction of
vehicle travel, and covering the antenna elements which transmit and receive
electromagnetic waves. The thickness of the radome where the electromagnetic waves pass
through it is set to 0.5 × nλg (where n is a natural number and λg is the guide wavelength of
the electromagnetic waves in the dielectric material). A device capable of allowing
electromagnetic waves at frequencies of 50 to 100 GHz to pass through it to an ample
extent for practical purposes can be formed, and is both small and lightweight. These
frequencies are those expected to be allocated to vehicle-mounted radar devices.

Abstract: This ultralow-loss glass is characterized in that high purity
silica glass contains 1 to 500 wt.ppm of at least one network
modifying oxide. It is assumed that the network modifying oxide
appropriately loosens the tetrahedral network structure of silica and
hence Rayleigh scattering is decreased. Examples of the network
modifying oxide include Na 2 O, K 2 O, Li 2 O, MgO, CaO, and PbO. Since
Rayleigh scattering losses are minimal in comparison with those of
high purity silica glass, this impurity-added silica glass is
excellent as a base material of a glass fiber for a long-distance
transmission.

Abstract: A strobed blood flow meter provides periodic measurements of blood flow velocity or volumetric blood flow over a cardiac cycle at reduced average power consumption, which is advantageous for reducing battery size, and extending device battery life, such as in an implantable application. Continuous wave Doppler, pulsed Doppler, laser Doppler, transit time, electromagnetic flow, and thermal dilution techniques are included. Strobing provides higher level excitation during active periods, which improves signal-to-noise ratio, and provides a low power standby mode during an idle time between active periods. The invention may be used for chronic or acute applications. Doppler or other signals may be telemetered from an implanted portion of the flow meter for further signal processing to extract velocity or volumetric flow. Alternatively, such signal processing is also implanted, such that the velocity signal can be telemetered to an remote monitor.
