Patent EP-1017885-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHUH LOTHAR
IPC: B01J35/06
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: A product (20, 21, 41, 60) comprised of a three-dimensional network of material is coated with a particulate support. The coating may be applied by an electrophoretic coating procedure to apply a particulate coating on the surface or into the interior portions of such three-dimensional network of material (20, 21, 41, 60). In one embodiment, the particles are a catalyst or a catalyst precursor or a catalyst support to thereby provide a catalyst structure in which catalyst may be supported as a coating in the interior and on the exterior of a three-dimensional network of material (20, 21, 41, 60) having a high void volume. Edge effects may be reduced by control or disruption of field lines during the coating. In addition, larger particles may be electrophoretically coated onto a product (20, 21, 41, 60) by the use of smaller particles which function as a 'glue'.

Abstract: A linear motor comprising prismatic inner yokes each
constructed in a manner that a large number of sheets each
having a generally rectangular configuration and having a
high magnetic permeability are piled up each other and outer
yokes each constructed in a manner that a number of sheets
each having a generally rectangular configuration and having
a high magnetic permeability are piled up each other. Each
of coils is wound around a central portion of three magnetic
pole portions of the outer yoke to alternately establish
different magnetic poles along a direction of an axis of the
linear motor. A surface of the outer yoke, holding the
magnetic pole portions, is disposed in an opposed relation to
the inner yoke to define a predetermined gap therebetween
so that the inner yoke and the outer yoke form each of a
plurality of yoke blocks. The yoke blocks are placed around
the axis so that the sheet piling-up direction is perpendicular
to a diametrical direction of a shaft. In addition, a moving
element having a pair of permanent magnets magnetized
radially so that their magnetizing directions are opposite to
each other is movably located between the inner yoke and
the outer yoke at a predetermined interval along the axis.
This construction improves the motor efficiency and
facilitates the manufacturing of the motor.

Abstract: An apparatus for accessing field devices in a distributed
control system provides non-redundant secondary access to a
plurality of field devices that are controlled by a control
room. An apparatus also provides redundant wireless to access
field devices in a distributed control system having primary
access to the field devices provided by hard-wired media that
couples the field devices to the control room. The field
devices are coupled to a Fieldbus control network. In a
first embodiment, each field device is provided with a
wireless Fieldbus port that is accessible by a wireless
handheld unit or wireless terminal. In a second embodiment,
each Fieldbus control network is provided with a field module
having a wireless Fieldbus port that allows all devices
connected to the Fieldbus control network to be accessed by a
wireless handheld unit or a wireless terminal. In a third
embodiment, an H2-to-H1 Fieldbus bridge (which may service a
plurality of H1 control networks) is provided with a wireless
Fieldbus port that allows all Fieldbus devices connected to
H1 control networks serviced by the H2-to-H1 bridge to be
access by a wireless handheld unit of a wireless terminal. In
a fourth embodiment, a bridge/converter provides an interface
between older analog control room components and newer
Fieldbus field devices. In one configuration, the
bridge/converter includes a hard-wired Fieldbus port
connected to a terminal, which may be in the control room.
In another configuration, the bridge/converter includes a
wireless Fieldbus port that allows a wireless handheld unit
or a wireless terminal to access the Fieldbus devices
serviced by the bridge/converter. The present invention
allows a maintenance person to access Fieldbus field devices
while servicing a device in the field, and allows secondary
functions of field devices (which vary by manufacturer) to be
accessed from a single remote unit. The redundant wireless
access provided by the present invention allows a control
room operator to access field devices in the event of failure 
or unavailability of the hard-wired media that provides
primary access to the field devices.

Abstract: A steering wheel (W) incorporates a hard portion (115F, 115B) bonded to
the overall circumference in the cross-sectional
circumferential direction of a ring portion (R) and a soft portion (119R, 119L)
molded to cover the core metal (113) of the ring portion (R) and softer

being disposed in the planar circumferential direction of the
ring portion (R). An extended portion extending from the soft
portion is disposed on the surface of the core metal (113) of the
ring portion (R) at a position on the inside of the hard portion.
The steering wheel (W) enables the hard portion and the soft
portion to be formed around the core metal (113) of the ring portion (R)
by collective injection molding. The core metal (113) of the ring
portion (R) has an inverted U-shape cross sectional shape and made
of die-cast metal formed by die-casting. When the two hard
portions having different volumes are molded, time periods
required to complete injection of a material for molding into
each cavity of the mold for molding each hard portion are made
to be substantially the same to mold the hard portions.
A coating layer can be provided for the surface of the hard
portion. A leather is bonded to the surface of the soft
portion. Support surfaces for supporting the inner surfaces
of the ends of the leather and projection projecting into the
inner surface of the soft portion are formed at the end of
the hard portion. The coating layer is as well as applied
to the outer surface of the support portion so as to bond the
soft layer and the leather to the hard portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring data messages in a network element in a telecommunications network, particularly in the SCP network element of an intelligent network. In the network element, the messages are forwarded through a protocol stack. The messages of the various protocol levels are processed by useful program blocks (MDP, FMP, SLP) and the messages of the selected protocol level are monitored to verify their validity. To make it possible to monitor messages in a simpler and more reliable manner, a separate monitoring block (MPP) is created in the network element for monitoring purposes and a copy of the message of the selected protocol level is sent to the said monitoring program to effect monitoring.
