Title: Power feed box
Inventor: VON HASSELT GEORG
IPC: H02G5/00
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a power feed box for supplying electrical power to busbars in an electrical distribution system, with several contact units (26) arranged in a housing (20) and made from an electrically conducting material. The contact unit (26) is provided, in order to allow electrical connection of a supply cable (54) to a free end of a corresponding busbar (4), with a cable recipient (36) and a first contact element. The contact unit (26) is provided with a second contact element to allow electrical connection of the supply cable (54) to a free end of a second busbar of the same phase and connected to the first busbar (4). The cable recipient (36) is thus electrically connected to the adjacent free ends of two identical-phase busbars (4). A power feed box for supplying electrical energy to busbars in an electrical distribution system and capable of being connected at virtually any point in the energy distribution system and subsequently moved to another point in the system is achieved by the co-operation between the first and second contact elements of the contact units (26) and first and second contact elements of the busbar (4) such that the power feed box (18) can be fitted over the busbars (4) at right angles to their longitudinal axes.

Abstract: Radio frequency interference on a VDSL line is cancelled in an adaptive filter coupled between a subscriber line and a VDSL receiver. An antenna placed in the vicinity of the VDSL receiver is used to receive radio frequency signals which may interfere with communications on the VDSL line and these signals are input into the adaptive filter for canceling the interference on the VDSL line. The adaptive filter correlates the antenna signal and the subscriber line signal on the VDSL line in order to cancel the radio frequency interference on the subscriber line signal.

It includes a top panel and bottom glass panel and a convoluted glass partition having a substantially planar upper surface disposed between the inner surfaces of the top and bottom panels. The partition forms a convoluted channel having an initial and a terminal end. One edge of the partition is integrally molded with the bottom panel and a peripheral portion is joined to the inner surface of the top panel. An inner portion of the partition can engage the inner surface of the top panel. The inner portion has a predetermined width at the point of its engagement and a predetermined spacing between the point and the top panel. A layer of frit of predetermined thickness is used to join the peripheral portion of the convoluted partition to the inner surface of the top panel. The frit layer forms a sealed envelope with the top and bottom panels, whereby to provide the predetermined spacing and form a convoluted channel within the envelope. A conventional phosphor coating is disposed on the inner surface of the envelope and at least two electrodes are disposed at the initial and terminal ends of the convolution whereby an arc can be formed in the lamp between the electrodes thereby to excite the phosphor to emit light.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement in a press-fit pin 1
having an elastically deformable area 6 to be press-fitted in
a selected through hole in a printed circuit board, the
elastically deformable area 6 comprising two parallel,
opposite beams 8 connected by an connecting deformable bridge
9, thereby permitting the outer corners 8a of each beam 8 to
engage the inner wall of the plated through hole while
permitting the connecting deformable bridge 9 to be deformed.
The connecting deformable bridge 9 comprises, in cross-section,
an connecting flat section 10 extending perpendicular
to the opposite beams 8, and two oblique sections 11 extending
outward from the opposite ends of the upper flat 10a of the
connecting flat section 10 to be contiguous to the opposite
beams 8. 
     The press-fit pin has such an connecting flat
section in its pressure-deformable area in place of the "V"-shaped
area of a conventional press-fit pin, thus eliminating
the necessity of forming acute angles in the die-and-punch.

Abstract: While a silicon substrate is heated, gold is evaporated
thereon at a thickness of 0.6 nm, whereby melted alloy
droplets are formed on the substrate surface. Then, the
silicon substrate is heated to 450°-650°C in a silane gas
atmosphere of less than 0.5 Torr. As a result, a silane gas
decomposition reaction occurs with the melted alloy droplets
serving as catalysts, whereby silicon wires grow on the
substrate surface. Subsequently, the metal alloy droplets at
the tips of the silicon wires are removed and surface
portions of the silicon wires are oxidized. Resulting
surface oxide films are thereafter removed. As a result,
silicon quantum wires that are thinner by the thickness of
the surface oxide films are obtained.

Abstract: The headlight alignment control has two ranging beams (28,29) sent out from a headlamp unit and directed at two spots (31,32) on the road at a different spacing from the front of the vehicle. A sensor (22) in the headlamp unit monitors the signals reflected back from the spots and calculates the relative spacing of the spots. An alignment control adjusts the headlamp for correct light beam alignment. The two ranging beams come from the same source and are in the same vertical plane. Each headlight is fitted with the alignment system or only one headlight is fitted with the system and the other headlights are adjusted by the same amount as the master unit. The ranging beams are electromagnetic, eg microwave, or ultrasonic.

Abstract: An N-level wavelet transform is executed on an image
signal representing an image having a first dimension and a
second dimension. First, an N-level one-dimensional wavelet
transform is executed in the first dimension, generating an
intermediate signal which is temporarily stored in a memory
device; then an N-level one-dimensional wavelet transform is
executed on the intermediate signal in the second dimension.
The image signal may be accompanied by shape information
describing the shape of the image, in which case each N-level
one-dimensional wavelet transform is executed by a
series of N one-level wavelet transforms, with alteration of
the shape information when each one-level wavelet transform
is performed.

Abstract: A manual operation mode specifying a fixed speed change ratio by
manual operation is set in a continuously variable transmission for a vehicle
which continuously varies a speed change ratio to an arbitrary target speed
change ratio. The manual operation mode defines for example first speed-fourth
speed. While a driver is accelerating at the specified speed change ratio, the
speed change ratio is decreased when a predetermined vehicle speed is reached.
A difference of speed change ratio when the driver performs a shift-up
operation after this decrease is thereby reduced. As a result, there are fewer
drops of engine rotation speed due to shift-up, and acceleration performance
is improved.
