Inventor: DILLAT MICHEL
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: An array of fiber optic splicing cassettes. The array has first and second side plates connected to one another by first and second axes. The fiber optic splicing cassettes each have a base and first and second curved slots in the base. Each of the first slots is moveably engaged on the first axis, and each of the second slots is moveably engaged on the second axis. In this way each of the cassettes may be moved between an open position and a closed position by simultaneously moving the first and second slots in one of the cassettes relative to the first and second axes.

Title: Blister pack container with child resistant release mechanism
Inventor: GELARDI JOHN
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 2003-10-22
Abstract: A container includes a slidable tray and a locking sleeve. The tray is a conventional blister package, with blisters formed therein. The tray includes a slot and the sleeve includes a stop that extends through the slot to prevent the tray from sliding out of the sleeve.

Abstract: The invention provides a a heat plate exchanger (4) used in a submerged evaporator
(14) that may operate with markedly increased capacity, where the evaporator (14)
does not require more space than other known types and have a smaller filling volume
of refrigerant (10) than prior art units. 
     The plate heat exchanger (4) is built up with an outer contour that substantially follows
the lower contour of the casing (6) and the liquid level in operation of the primary
refrigerant (10) which plate heat exchanger (4) comprises plates (34), which
plates (34) are provided with a pattern of guiding grooves (36). 
     With such design, much less space is occupied than with prior art types of submerged
evaporators. The reason is that the internal volume is better utilised. Typically, there is
a cylindric casing (6) with welded or screwed on ends (22), where internally there is
mounted a plate heat exchanger (4) having a part cylindric shape and an external diameter
which is between 5 and 15 mm less than the internal diameter of the casing (6).
Hereby is achieved a submerged evaporator (14) with reduced filling of refrigerant
(10).

Abstract: A motor driving apparatus including a regeneration control function and
a power storage device (8) for accumulating a regenerative current and for
supplying an inverter section (2) with electric power during acceleration. The
inverter section is connected to a converter section (1) by a DC link (3) to
which regeneration start detecting means (5) and the power storage device (8)
are connected. When the regeneration start detecting means (5) detects that a
voltage at the DC link (3) reaches a regeneration control start voltage, a
controller (7) controls switching elements (Q1-Q6) and starts regeneration
control. The regenerative current is accumulated in the capacitor (9) through
a diode (10). When a motor (6) is in a power running state, the switching
elements (Q1-Q6) are turned on to apply the voltage at the power storage
device (8) to the DC link (3), and the charged power is utilised for motor
acceleration. At that time, the regeneration control start voltage for the
regeneration start detecting means (5) is made higher, thereby preventing
regeneration control from being activated due to application of the capacitor's
voltage. Not only the regenerative current is effectively utilised by the power
storage device (8), but also the regeneration control function can be utilised.
