Patent EP-0922915-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GHOSHAL UTTAM SHYAMALINDU
IPC: H01L35/30
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: Apparatus and method for sub-ambient cooling using thermoelectric
element dynamics in conjunction with pulsed electrical power and multiple
selectively enabled thermal switches (7,8,23,24). In one form, Peltier devices (1) are
dynamically enabled using pulses of electrical power while the thermal
paths, between the cold and hot sides (12,11) of the device (1) are selectively
switched conduction state responsive to the temperature dynamics within
the Peltier device (1). Switched coupling of the thermal connections in
relative synchronism to the Peltier device electrical and thermal
dynamics materially improves efficiency by decoupling Joule heating and
conductive heat transfer losses otherwise affecting the net heat
transfer. Preferable implementations utilizes MEMS to accomplish the
selective switching, whereby sub-ambient cooling capacity is increased by
parallel operation of multiple Peltier devices (21) and MEMS switches (23,24).

Abstract: A rotary drill bit (10) is used both for milling a casing window and drilling a
lateral borehole into subterranean earthen materials, without the prior need of having
separate drill bits for milling of the casing and for drilling of the borehole. The rotary
drill bit is lowered into a casing set within a borehole; and the drill bit is rotated to
engage an inner surface of the casing. A first set of cutting elements (22) on the drill bit
remove casing material to mill a casing window. The drill bit is then moved
through the casing window so that a second set of cutting elements (24) on the drill bit
create a lateral wellbore in subterranean earthen material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a metallic article (34) with at least one laser
shock peened surface (54) on at least a portion of the article (34) and a plurality of
volumetrically spaced apart laser shock peened protrusions extending into the article
(34) from said laser shock peened surface (54) wherein the protrusions have deep
compressive residual stresses imparted by laser shock peening (LSP). The invention
may be further characterized by spaced apart circular laser beam spots on the surface
from which the laser shock peened protrusions extend into the article such that the spots
do not overlap. 
     The present invention includes a method of laser shock peening a hard metallic
article (34) by firing a laser beam (2) on different points of a laser shock peened surface
(54) of at least a portion of the article (34) using a laser beam (2) with sufficient power
to vaporize material on the surface around laser beam spots formed by the laser beam
(2) at the points on the surface, flowing a curtain of water (21) over the surface upon
which the laser beam (2) is firing, and firing the laser beam (2) so as to form a plurality
of volumetrically spaced apart laser shock peened protrusions extending into the article
from the spots such that the protrusions have deep compressive residual stresses
imparted by laser the laser beam. The surface may first be coated with an ablative
material (55) which the laser beam (2) vaporizes and the method may be an on the fly
method of laser shock peening which further includes continuously moving the article
(34) while continuously firing a stationary laser beam (2) which repeatably pulses
between relatively constant periods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a TV distribution system which comprises a network head-end, user stations and an upstream channel from the user stations to the network head-end. Each upstream channel transports an upstream frame divided into time slot regions, each region corresponding to a different type of access for the stations. Each frame can notably contain a contention based region to which all the stations have free access. It is an object of the invention to propose a method of solving collisions which may happen during the access to the contention based region by said stations. In accordance with the invention, when one or various contentions have been detected, the use of the contention based region of a following upstream channel is reserved to the solution of these contentions. The size of this contention based region is determined by the number of contentions to be solved. Only the stations that are involved in one of said contentions are authorized to use this contention based region for retransmitting the data about which there has been contention.

Abstract: To start the rewinding process at a single-stage centrifugal spinner, after yarn breakage, a yarn detaching unit (14) is moved by a drive (23) at a cone winding (32) of the spinning cake (15). A yarn guide at the unit has a yarn guide contour (17) to lift the lower winding layers of the spinning cake (15) to the level of a rewinding sleeve (9), so that wrapping of the yarn detaching unit (14) is effectively prevented during rewinding. The yarn detaching unit (14) is moved into the spinning centrifuge (3) parallel to its inner wall (26), to bring a cutter (16) into contact with the wound cone (32) at the bottom of the spinning cake (15), and the yarn guide contour (17) is positioned at the lower wound layers. The axial force component (19) on the yarn detaching unit (14), on starting the rewinding process, is used by a force monitor (18) to generate a signal (s). During rewinding, the torque (22) at the rewinding sleeve (9) is used by a torque monitor (20) to generate a signal (i). An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used for starting rewinding process, which includes a yarn detaching unit (14), with a cutter (16) to be presented to the cone winding (32) of the spinning cake (15) covered axially by a yarn guide contour (17). Preferred Features: A force monitor (18) is at the yarn detaching unit (14), with a signal line link (33) to the control (30). The torque monitor (20) at the rewinding sleeve holder (21) has a signal line (34) link to the control (30). The yarn (25) emerging from the yarn guide tube (7) is laid at the inner wall (26) of the spinning centrifuge (3), and the yarn detaching unit (14) can have an adjustable detacher, which is moved from a rest position into a working setting, in a swing movement which is operated elastically, pneumatically or electrically, to be placed against the spinning cake (15) with an adjustable and defined force, to set the pressure of its pointed or rectangular cutter against the spinning cake (15). The detacher is contained within a shrouding, with a slit opening for the detacher to be extended and retracted. Limit stops define its range of movement. The yarn detaching unit (14) can have a controlled by a compressed air jet, which delivers an air jet stream to match a beating plate at the detacher. The yarn detaching unit (14) can be fitted with an energizing system where a current flow to a magnet coil gives an elastic movement to the swing detacher, which is composed at least partially of a ferromagnetic material.

Abstract: A fuel tank filler system has a special cap with a spring loaded closure which is opened when the filler nozzle is inserted. Because the nozzle cannot be inserted as far down as in a conventional filler system, a guide tube (9) is fitted to the inside of the filler system. The front of the inserted nozzle engages the tapering upper part of the guide tube and is guided into a locking position. The guide tube effectively forms an extension to the filler nozzle and ensures an early activation of the fuel cut off. The tapering part of the guide tube has venting slots.

Abstract: A fuel injector (1) including a nozzle body (3) and a needle
valve (4) liftably received in a nozzle body hole (21, 34) such
that fuel flows to injection openings (16) of the nozzle body
through a clearance between the nozzle body hole and needle
valve. The clearance includes a larger clearance portion (37)
and a smaller clearance portion (38) in series in a fuel flowing
direction. The needle valve (4) has a collar (20) to almost plug
the larger clearance portion (37) and a throttled fuel passage
(22) is formed in the collar (20). Since the collar transversely
extends in the larger clearance segment, it has a relatively
large area subjected to the fuel pressure. Fuel pressure acts
on this large area so that a large pressure difference is
obtained across the collar during needle valve opening. Thus, it
is possible to close the needle valve at a high speed.
