Patent EP-1035556-A3 (EP)
Title: Push switch
Inventor: HAYAKAWA KAZUKI
IPC: H01H13/52
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A layout structure of fixed terminals in a housing of
a push switch is provided, the fixed terminals having a shape
permitting the length in their arranged direction in the housing
to be shortened and permitting the push switch to be
surface-mounted onto a circuit board, and wherein even if a
plurality of bent portions are formed within the housing, the
spacing between contacts can be set to a minimum without being
influenced by variations in machining of the bent portions, thus
making it possible to reduce the size of the housing and hence
of the push switch. The push switch comprises a box-shaped
housing, a pair of fixed terminals fixed within the housing,
a stem held slidably by inner side faces of the housing, and
a movable contact disposed above the fixed terminal so as to
be operable in interlock with movement of the stem. The paired
fixed terminals each comprises a base portion embedded in the
housing, a terminal portion extending outwards of the housing,
and a contact portion exposed to an inner surface of a bottom
of the housing so as to be spaced a predetermined distance from
a contact portion of the other fixed terminal. The paired fixed
terminals are arranged so that the respective base portions are
aligned with each other. The contact portions are bent and
opposed to each other on a line perpendicular to the arranged
direction of the base portions.

Abstract: A safety device for a torque limiter composed of an external body (2),
which is rigidly coupled to the driving shaft (6) for transmitting motion to a
working implement and inside which there is a seat (4) for accommodating
an internal body (5) which is rigidly coupled to the driven motion
transmission shaft (3) and is provided with a series of radial sliding seats (7)
for corresponding tabs (8) which can move, in contrast with elastic elements
(8a), alternatively between a centrifugal position providing engagement and
transmission in corresponding slots (9) formed in the external body (2) and
a centripetal position for disengagement from the slots (9) and for stopping
the transmission; the movement is activated by means of a corresponding
centered plate (10) which forms a protruding ring (10a) for wedging and
centrifugally pushing the tabs (8) and provides for the in-line interposition,
between the internal body (5) and the plate (10), of pushers (11) for axially
pushing the plate (10) into the configuration for forced disengagement from
the tabs (8).

Abstract: A PCS that comprises a photo-conductive layer of NB material
sandwiched between a top confinement layer and a bottom confinement layer.
Both confinement layers are layers of WB material. NB material and WB
material are semiconductor materials. NB material has a smaller band-gap
energy than WB material. The top confinement layer and the photo-conductive
layer have opposite conductivity types. A first electrode and a second
electrode, separated from each other by a gap and are located on the surface
of the top confinement layer remote from the photo-conductive layer. The
photo-conductive layer provides a low-resistance conduction path between the
electrodes when the photo-conductive layer is illuminated with incident light
of an appropriate wavelength and intensity.

Abstract: A polarising panel 10 is for use with a light fitting (not shown) such as a
luminaire. A middle layer 12 is covered by an inner layer 14 and an outer layer
16. At least the middle layer 12 is formed to provide reflux polarisation of light
from the luminaire, as indicated schematically at 24. This results in the panel
transmitting light which is at least partially polarised, resulting in reduced
glare. The panel is constructed substantially without air gaps between the
layers of the panel, minimising spurious reflections, refractions and other
causes of light loss.

Abstract: A method of growing a nitride semiconductor layer, such as a GaN layer, by molecular
beam epitaxy comprises the step of growing a GaAlN nucleation layer on a substrate by
molecular beam epitaxy. The nucleation layer is annealed, and a nitride semiconductor
layer is then grown over the nucleation layer by molecular beam epitaxy. The nitride
semiconductor layer is grown at a V/III molar ratio of 100 or greater, and this enables a
high substrate temperature to be used so that a good quality semiconductor layer is
obtained. Ammonia gas is supplied during the growth process, to provide the nitrogen
required for the MBE growth process. 
     In one embodiment of the invention, the substrate temperature during the step of
annealing the nucleation layer is in the range 950-1050°C and the substrate temperature
during the growth of the nitride semiconductor layer is within the range 900-1050°C.

Abstract: A data transmitter (30) has a source (32) of data. The
data is transmitted in response to clock pulses provided by
a clock pulse generator (34). A buffer (36) having a fixed
data storage capacity is provided for storing the data
transmitted by the source (32) of data, such data being
stored in response to the clock pulses. A framer (38) is
provided for retrieving the stored data in response to a
data strobe signal (37) produced by the framer (38) and fed
to the buffer (36). The buffer (36) produces a control
signal (40) representative of the level of the buffer (36).
A level signal (40) is fed to the clock pulse generator
(34). A superframe strobe signal (35) samples the level of
the buffer (36) and produces a level signal (40)
representative of the sampled level of the buffer (36). The
clock pulse generator (34) produces the clock pulses for the
data source (32) and the buffer (36) at a rate selected in
accordance with the level of the buffer (36). The data
stored in the buffer (36) is read from the buffer (36) in
response to the data strobe signal (37) and such data and
the clock pulses are provided at an output of the
transmitter. With such an arrangement, the data provided by
the data source (32) and the data written into the buffer
(36) are controlled by a common clock signal provided by the
clock pulse generator (34). The rate of the clock pulses is
produced as a function of the fill/empty state of the buffer
(36), thereby ensuring rate matching between the data source
rate and the rate data read from the buffer (36) by the
framer (38). Thus, byte stuffing and byte robbing are no
longer required thereby increasing the efficiency of the
data transfer by allowing reduced overhead framing
structures to transfer by allowing reduced overhead framing
structures to be used.
