Patent EP-0822617-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FUKAMACHI MAKOTO
IPC: H01R13/436
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: A connector equipped with a retainer (15) that prevents a
terminal (13) that has been inserted into a connector housing (11) from
being disengaged is disclosed. To prevent the unexpected movement of
the retainer (15) to the fully engaged position and to be able to detect
whether the retainer (15) is fully engaged, the outer faces of the retainer
do not extend above the outer faces of the connector housing when the
retainer is in a partially engaged position. Thus, the retainers are not
pushed into a fully engaged position by other members. Moreover,
because projections (16) that extend above the connector housings are
placed on the outer face of the retainers, the projections seldom interfere
with other elements. When the connector housings are coupled with the
receiving parts of a frame (20) in a partially engaged position, the
projections interfere with the open edges of the receiving parts and thus
prevent the connector from achieving the fully engaged position.
However, when the retainers are fully engaged, the projections have
descended to a position whereby they no longer interfere with the open
edges of the receiving parts, and therefore the coupling becomes possible.

cooking chamber and an electrical component compartment within
the main body, a fan for removing heat generated by electrical
components in the electrical component compartment, a motor

motor, including a means for keeping the terminals from being
exposed to outside. The means is realized as a protective cover
which encloses the terminals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for
automatically generating a speech recognition vocabulary for a speech
recognition system from a listing that contains a number of entries,
each entry containing a multi-word identification data that distinguishes
that entry from other entries in the list. The method comprises the
steps of creating for each entry in the listing a plurality of orthographies
in the speech recognition vocabulary that are formed by combining
selected words from the entry. The words combination is effected by
applying a heuristics model that mimics the way users formulate
requests to the automated directory assistance system. The method is
particularly useful for generating speech recognition vocabularies for
automated directory assistance systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic pump control system which
can control the absorbing torque of a hydraulic pump with
respect to the engine power in a well-balanced manner, and
reduce a deviation of an actual revolution number from a
target revolution number of the engine. A torque (Tp) of
hydraulic pumps during operation is estimated from a pump
pressure (Pp) and first and second line pressures (Pr1,
Pr2). Based on the estimated torque (Tp), an output
torque (Tr) of the hydraulic pumps is controlled so that
an error (ΔNe) between a target revolution number (Nset)
and an actual revolution number (Ns) of the engine becomes
null.

hinge assembly (10) is adapted to relatch the seatback (16) in
its previous reclined position.

Abstract: The method consists in preparing a gluten-free pasta
starting from a corn and/or rice flour which is partially
gelatinized and to which a monoglyceride is initially
added. Humidification is then performed in a vacuum mixing
tank, followed by extrusion by means of a multistage
controlled-temperature extruder-cooker. The pasta is cut in
a die and used after pre-drying for undried pasta or is
dried until it reaches a final humidity of approximately
12% for dried pasta. The resulting pasta is suitable for
use in the dietary field and in particular for feeding
patients affected by coeliac disease, diabetes and other
similar diseases and has good organoleptic and palatability
characteristics.

Abstract: The disclosed helicopter power transmitting apparatus can transmit rotational
torque of one engine input to a large diameter gear (3) linked (securely and uniformly) with a main rotor driving
shaft (2) through a pair of gear trains. The helicopter power
transmitting apparatus comprises a large diameter gear (3); first and second
small diameter gears (4a,4b) both having the same diameter and the same number of
teeth in mesh with the large diameter gear; a first large diameter helical gear (6a)
linked with the first small diameter gear (4a) via a first shaft (5a) over the first
small diameter gear (4a); a second large diameter helical gear (6b) linked with the
second small diameter gear (4b) via a second shaft (5b) under the second
small diameter gear (4b); an input shaft (7) arranged roughly in parallel to the first and
second shafts (5a,5b); an outer cylinder (8) slidably fitted to an outside of the input
shaft (7); and first and second small diameter helical gears (9,9') fixed to both upper
and lower ends of the outer cylinder in mesh with the first and second large diameter
helical gears (6a,6b), respectively. In particular, the first and second shafts (5a, 5b)
have such flexural rigidity relationship as to substantially eliminate a phase difference
between the first and second small diameter gears (4a,4b), against the unbalanced
forces applied to the first and second shafts (5a,5b), respectively when the first and
second small diameter gears (4a, 4b) transmit the same torque to the large diameter
gear (3).

Abstract: The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval (25) is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material, lying in pairs on each other, and running through the stack from a top position diagonally to a bottom position. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions, whereby the bents of respectively two adjacent partial conductor rods associated in a pair, are displaced in longitudinal direction in a predetermined distance to bents of a following or preceding pair of partial conductor rods. The partial conductor rods are arranged in sideways adjacent stacks (26), whereby the partial conductor rods are staggered respectively with the sideways adjacent partial conductor rods, which assures, that each partial conductor proceeds segmental and alternately along a side facing a rotor and a side averted from the rotor. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. An Independent claim is provided for a conductor rod manufactured after this method.

measurement point are calculated from the optical intensity measurement value for each
measurement point the measurement values near the center of measurement value
regiondded over the range of the desired wavelength bandwidth, and further,
compensated based on the ratio between the wavelength bandwidth for each
measurement point and the wavelength interval of each measurement point.

Abstract: The invention relates to a marine antifouling paint composition
comprising a binder system and fibres. Often, paints
will, in the absence of the fibres, due to the composition of
the binder system, e.g. a high content of gum rosin or rosin
equivalents or a high surface tension, have mechanical
deficiencies or weaknesses, which, e.g., will appear as a
tendency for the paint film to crack when exposed to
weathering, when stretched or bend, or upon impact by an
object. However, the fibres, which may be organic or
inorganic, counteract the mechanical weakness or deficiency
of the paint, or reinforce the antifouling paint. The paint
composition may further comprise other components such as
biologically active agents, antifouling agents, or biocides,
pigments, fillers, additives, dyes, and solvents. The fiber-containing
paints are used to prepare sea water-erodible or
self-polishing coatings for underwater structures such as
ship's hulls.
