Abstract: A method for guiding the wire (8) on multi-pole stators (1) that can be wound by a flier-type machine, wherein the stators (1) have a core (3) with poles (4) defining between them a plurality of grooves (5), and wherein the wire (8) is wound about the poles (4) guided by first fixed shrouds (11) and second mobile shrouds (12''), which move radially for laying the wire (8) along the poles same. At winding the approaching step of third shrouds (21) against the boundary of the pole (4) is provided. The third shrouds (21) and the second shrouds (12'') move integrally when approaching or moving away with respect to the stator, whereas during the winding step they are movable relative to each other, so that the third shrouds (21) are fixed against the stator (1) and guide the wire (8) in the grooves (5), whereas the second shrouds (12'') move for laying the wire (8) about the poles (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An object is to improve the durability of wings and suppress vibration of the wings and generation of noise. A fluid machine includes a rotatably supported wing support, and a plurality of wings (21) formed on the wing support at a plurality of circumferential locations and protruding radially outward. The wings (21) each include a first wing element extending radially outward from a first attachment position on the wing support, a second wing element extending radially outward from a second attachment position on the wing support, and a third wing element connecting the first and second wing elements. In this case, the first and second wing elements are formed in such a manner to protrude radially outward from the wing support, and are mutually connected by means of the third wing element. This structure prevents damage to the wings (21), which damage would otherwise occur, for example, upon reception of external force, and thus improves the durability of the wings (21). Further, since stresses imposed on the third wing element can be reduced, deflection of the wing (21) caused by variation in loads imposed on the first and second wing elements can be reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for the presentation of three-dimensional images, where light beams with appropriate intensity and optionally with appropriate colour are projected in different viewing directions and thereby creating a three-dimensional image. The light beams are created with a light emitting surface (10) comprising cyclically addressable light sources (S). The surface (10) is positioned behind a screen (20) comprising pixels (P) with a controllable light transmission or reflection. The light beams emitted from different light sources (S) illuminate the individual pixels (P) from different directions. According to the invention, the distance between the light sources (S) is larger than the distance between the pixels (P), and the light sources (S) are positioned so much away from the pixels so that the number of pixels (P) illuminated by one light source (S) is greater than the number of light sources illuminating one pixel (P).

Abstract: A method and a system for simulating the minimally invasive medical procedure of urological endoscopy. The system is designed to simulate the actual medical procedure of urological endoscopy as closely as possible by providing both a simulated medical instrument, and tactile and visual feedback as the simulated procedure is performed on the simulated patient. Particularly preferred features include a multi-path solution for virtual navigation in a complex anatomy, the simulation of the effect of the beating heart on the urethra as it crosses the illiac vessel, and the simulated operation of a guidewire within the urethra. In addition, the system and method optionally and more preferably incorporate the effect of dynamic contrast injection of dye into the urethra for fluoroscopy. The injection of such dye, and the subsequent visualization of the urological organ system in the presence of the endoscope, must be accurately simulated in terms of accurate visual feedback. Thus, the system and method provide a complete solution to the complex and difficult problem of training students in urological endoscopy procedures.

Abstract: A reel (20) comprises a drum assembly (22) enclosed within a shell comprising upper and lower shell portions (24, 26). The drum assembly (22) is secured to the lower shell portion (26). The drum assembly (22) comprises a motor-driven rotating drum (36) secured between two discs (38, 40), and a frame subassembly (23). The drum (36) is adapted to receive linear material (150) spooled thereon. An outer surface of one of the discs has a spiral groove (88), with a first end (90) near the center of the disc and a second end (92) near an outer edge. The second end (92) is tapered to lesser depth. The frame subassembly (23) includes a track assembly (54) facing the discs with the spiral groove (88) and a translating plate (70) adapted to translate horizontally within the track assembly. As the drum and discs rotate, horizontal pins (76, 78) of the plate (70) alternatingly engage the spiral groove (88), causing the translating plate to translate linearly within the track assembly. The translating plate is connected to and causes the upper shell portion to reciprocatingly rotate about a vertical axis with respect to the lower shell portion and drum assembly. A guide aperture (128) is provided in the upper shell portion, through which linear material (150) is drawn onto the rotating drum (36). Advantageously, the aperture translates through an arc in front of the drum (36), so that the linear material (150) is distributed across the drum surface as it is wound. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A facsimile machine (1) comprises an off-hook device (14) for ascertaining whether a telephone set (2) connected to a telephone line (TL) in parallel with the facsimile machine (1) has already taken an incoming call, which call is featured by a ringing signal in the telephone signal (TS). For this purpose, the off-hook device (14) compares the voltage value of the DC component (G(TS)) of the telephone signal (TS) with off-hook thresholds (OSW1, OSW2) and, if necessary, produces off-hook detection information (ODI1, ODI2) or fax off-hook information (FAI). Since the voltage values of the DC component (G(TS)) of the telephone signal (TS)-more particularly in a private branch exchange-may be lower than specified, in response to which the off-hook device (14) could determine a false outcome, the off-hook device (14) activates an error mode when the off-hook detection information (ODI1) is produced simultaneously with the ringing signal detection. When the error mode is activated, the off-hook device (14) also takes the call when the off-hook detection information (ODI1) is present. Similarly, when the error mode is activated, the off-hook device (14) does not pass on an already taken call to the parallel-connected telephone set (2) when the off-hook detection information (ODI1) is present.
