Patent EP-0895856-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAKATA TOMOYUKI
IPC: H01R35/02
Filed: 1998-08-07
Abstract: A sound-absorbing material and a cable reel including
the same are produced inexpensively and attenuates sliding
noise and vibration noise. A sound-absorbing material 20
comprises a foam rubber 20a and a thin synthetic paper 20b
having a smooth surface and laminated through an adhesive
20c on a top surface of the foam rubber 20a. The synthetic
paper 20b can be easily attached to the foam rubber 20a by
means of the adhesive 20c and is inexpensive in comparison
with a conventional polytetrafluoroethylene resin sheet.
The sound-absorbing material 20 is attached to a lower
bearing surface 12a of a cable containing chamber 12 in a
cable reel. The synthetic paper 20b of the sound-absorbing
material 20 can attenuate a sliding noise which is generated
when a flat cable 15 slides on the lower bearing surface 12a.
The foam rubber 20a of the sound-absorbing material 20 can
attenuate vibration noise which is generated by collision
between a lateral lower edge of the flat cable 15 and the
lower surface 12a when the flat cable 15 vibrates axially in
the cable containing chamber 12 during driving. The
synthetic paper does not interfere with a sound-absorbing
function of the foam 20a since the synthetic paper is a low
hardness.

Abstract: Burners (40) for producing fused silica boules are provided. The
burners employ a tube-in-tube (301-306) design with flats (56, 50) on some
of the tubes (305, 301) being used to limit the cross-sectional area of certain
passages (206, 202) within the burner and/or to atomize a silicon-containing,
liquid source material, such as OMCTS. To avoid the
possibility of flashback, the burner has separate passages for fuel (205) and
oxygen (204, 206), i.e., the burner employs nozzle mixing, rather than
premixing, of the fuel and oxygen. The burners are installed in burner
holes (26) formed in the crown (20) of a furnace and form a seal with those
holes so that ambient air cannot be entrained into the furnace through the
holes. An external air cooled jacket (60) can be used to hold the
temperature of the burner below a prescribed upper limit, e.g., 400°C.

Abstract: A domino logic circuit (400) includes a precharge device
(101) precharging a precharge node (110) during a precharge
phase and a logic block (121, 123, 125, 127, 129) receiving
plural input signals (A, B, C, D, E) to conditionally discharge
the precharge node. In this improvement a second precharge
device (155) precharges an intermediate node (122) when a
particular input signal (E) controls its corresponding logic
device to be nonconducting. The intermediate node precharged by
this second precharge device may be any intermediate node
including the last in a serial chain from the precharge node.
This second precharge device may be used with a third precharge
device (114) according to the prior art which precharges the
intermediate node during the precharge phase. This domino logic
circuit may be used with another precharge device (150)
controlled by a second input signal (D) different from the first
input signal. This additional precharge device may be used to
precharge the same intermediate node or another intermediate
node. If the input signal controlling the second precharge
device is unconstrained, then the circuit preferably includes a
clock controlled precharge device to precharge the intermediate
node during the precharge phase and a discharge control device
disposed between said logic block and ground preventing
discharge during the precharge phase. Alternatively, the input
signal may be clocked and guaranteed low during the precharge
phase. In this case, the clocked precharge of the intermediate
node and the discharge control device are optional.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for stabilising valve lift-off
movement in an automotive hydraulic shock absorber having
compression and expansion chambers filled with a hydraulic
shock-absorber fluid and divided by a valve body with one or
more orifices that have fluid flow therethrough controlled
by a spring biased valve that lifts off from the valve body
when the fluid pressure differential between chambers is
above a predetermined amount. The steps of the method
comprise (a) stationing the spring biased valve (23) with respect
to the orifices (32) so that the fluid forcing the valve to lift
off and overcome the spring (31) bias will exit from the orifices
in a manner that creates a velocity gradient in the
expansion chamber (17) resulting in pressure differences that
disturb a smooth lift-off of the valves; and (b) modifying
the hydraulic shock absorber fluid to form a mixture (38)
containing fumed amorphous silica whereby the fluid mixture
will possess a viscosity inversely proportional to the
velocity of the fluid mixture regions (39,40), the mixture will
achieve the needed hydraulic attenuation.

Abstract: In an electrical system, concurrent maintenance of a system
component coupled to the system by an adapter on a first communications
path is accomplished through the provision of a second communications

computer system interconnect (SCSI) buses (408), an input-output adapter

PCI bridge circuit (PCIB - 103), is enabled by providing a IIC serial,
point-to-point signal path (104) between the bridge circuit (103) and a

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing
apparatus and method as well as a providing medium by
which deterioration of the vertical resolution is
prevented and conspicuous appearance of line flickering
is suppressed. In order to convert an interlaced video
signal having 525 scanning lines into another progressive
video signal having 525 scanning lines while maintaining
the image size, in an odd-numbered field, a line after
conversion is offset by 0.5 H (H is the distance between
horizontal scanning lines of the inputted video signal).
Consequently, pixel data of each line Oi are produced
from pixel data of two lines Ii and Ii+1 before
conversion. As a result, pixels of a line on the boundary
between white pixels and black pixels have a gray color.
In an odd-numbered field, no offset is given, and pixel
data of each line I1 of the field before conversion are
set as they are as pixel data of each line Oi of the
field after conversion. The pixels of the line on the
boundary between the white and black pixels become white
or gray pixels, and consequently, when compared with an
alternative case wherein such pixels on the boundary line
are white and black pixels, line flickering is prevented
from being observed conspicuously on a display screen.

Abstract: A CT scanner includes a stationary gantry (A) defining an examination region (12) and a
rotating gantry (C) which rotates about the examination region. Multiple fan beam
generators (B), each capable of producing a beam of radiation directed through the
examination region, are mounted to the rotating gantry. The radiation beams are collimated
(42) into a plurality of parallel thin fan shaped beams that are projected through the
examination region. X-rays are detected by at least an arc of x-ray detectors or a plurality of
parallel rings of detectors (14 1 , 14 2 ,...14 n ). The detectors generate signals indicative of the
radiation received which are processed by a reconstruction processor (18) into a volumetric
image representation for display on a monitor (20). In one embodiment, the signals are
reconstructed into a series of spaced parallel slices. The object is indexed and additional
slices are collected and reconstructed between previously reconstructed slices. In another
embodiment, the region of interest moves such that each beam traverses a spiral path
spanning one of a plurality of contiguous slabs. The multiple fan beam generators may be
contained within a single elongated x-ray tube. Alternatively, the multiple fan beams can be
generated by a plurality of angularly displaced x-ray tubes.

Le diaphragme est fixé sur le tube de façon que l'on puisse souffler de l'air comprimé dans l'espace séparant le diaphragme et le tube et ainsi fermer le robinet, totalement ou partiellement. Le diaphragme comprend deux aubes directrices assurant sa fermeture grâce à la formation de deux languettes qui se rencontrent au centre. Les aubes directrices sont moulées de façon à avoir une forme leur permettant de recouvrir la partie de la section du robinet qui n'est pas recouverte par les deux languettes du diaphragme. De cette manière, le robinet à manchon peut se fermer entièrement et en même temps, dans sa position partiellement ouverte, présenter une fente qui convient pour réguler l'écoulement de l'air ou d'autres flux de traitement. L'invention permet de remplacer les clapets de ventilation et les soupapes de régulation d'air en métal, car elle peut être produite au même prix tout en présentant les nombreux avantages et la souplesse d'un robinet à manchon.
