Abstract: A can body is fitted to an inner shaping tool rotatable adjacent a freely rotatable outer shaping tool outside the can body. An arm having an outer end rotatably carrying the outer shaping tool and an inner end is pivotal about its inner end. The inner tool and the can body fitted thereto are rotated to entrain and rotate the outer tool. A motor controlledly pivots the arm and thereby moves the outer shaping tool toward and away from the inner shaping tool. A position detector connected to arm senses the angular position thereof and the relative spacing of the inner and outer tools. A controller including a memory controls the motor in accordance with a sensed angular position of the arm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a serial-to-Ethernet modular converter jack and a method of fabricating of the same. The serial-to-Ethernet converter electronic components, including the control software stored in on-board memory, are miniaturized and housed entirely in an RJ-45 jack. The present invention is constructed of a shielded housing that defines an open front portion for a connector port. The housing of the present invention also includes a segregated interior chamber, which encases all of the electrical components necessary to complete a serial-to-Ethernet conversion of data. Lead pins electrically connected to the circuitry within the interior chamber, protrude from the based of the connector jack providing for a means to mate the jack to a circuit board. First, second and third circuit boards collectively incorporate the serial-to-Ethernet circuitry components. Both the first circuit board incorporating magnetic circuitry and the second circuit board incorporating control circuitry are positioned in generally horizontal parallel relation within the interior chamber. The second circuit board which defines opposed sides includes electronic components disposed upon the upper and lower of both sides of the second circuit board. The third circuit board, incorporating connections to the LEDs, is positioned generally perpendicular in relation to the first and second circuit boards and is structurally connected to the first and second circuit boards, additionally providing an electrical connection between the first and second boards. Alternative embodiments of the invention are disclosed and include various arrangement of the serial-to-Ethernet circuitry within the interior chamber of the housing.

Abstract: In a multi-access communication system, a terminal is kept reachable through a first access network, which is most resource efficient one of the available access networks for keeping the terminal reachable. The terminal scans passively for the existence of usable base stations for other access networks of the system and reports data associated with such existences to the first access network. When a request for a call to the terminal is received, a paging is performed in the first access network. The paging message comprises information about preferred access network, based on the reported data of the existence of usable base stations or access points of other access networks. The terminal connects to the preferred access network and performs a call set-up directly in the preferred access network.

Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (10) for administering a dose of a medicament comprises a reservoir (16) holding the medicament, an air channel assembly (14) engaged with, and movable relatively to, the reservoir for receiving the dose of medicament upon said relative motion, and a counter (26) for counting a number of doses dispensed from the reservoir or that can still be delivered before the inhaler is considered empty. The counter comprises a first indicator member (30) which moves one increment in response to said relative motion, and a second indicator member (34) which moves intermittently in response to motion of the first indicator member (30). A rotatory intermittent drive transfer mechanism (32) is positioned between and engageable with the first and second indicator members. The first indicator member drives the rotatory intermittent drive transfer mechanism (32). The rotatory intermittent drive transfer mechanism (32) drives the second indicator member intermittently upon motion of the first indicator member. The first and second indicator members have indicia (40, 42) thereon for displaying the number of doses dispensed from the reservoir or that can still be delivered before the inhaler (20) is considered empty.

Abstract: This invention provides method and apparatus for fabricating a MEMS apparatus having a bulk element with hinges underneath. The bulk element may comprise single-crystal silicon, fabricated by way of bulk micromachining techniques. The hinges may be made of thin-films, fabricated by way of surface micromachining techniques. A distinct feature of the MEMS apparatus of the present invention is that by disposing the hinges underneath the bulk element, the surface of the bulk element can be maximized and the entire surface becomes usable (e.g., for optical beam manipulation). Such a feature would be highly advantageous in making arrayed MEMS devices, such as an array of MEMS mirrors with a high optical fill factor. Further, by advantageously making use of both bulk and surface micromachining techniques, a MEMS mirror thus produced is equipped with a large and flat mirror along with flexible hinges, hence capable of achieving a substantial rotational range at modest electrostatic drive voltages.

Abstract: A distance measuring system comprises first and second transducers, and an ultrasound ranging subsystem coupled to the first and second transducers for performing a plurality of distance measurements between the first and second transducers. The distance measurement system can have various applications, including medical applications, in which case, the first and second transducers can be mounted on a catheter. The distance measuring system further comprises a filter coupled to the ultrasound ranging subsystem for filtering ultrasound interference from the plurality of distance measurements (such as, e.g., eight), and outputting a distance based on the filtered distance measurements. The filter filters the ultrasound interference by selecting one of the plurality distance measurements, in which case, the outputted distance is the selected distance measurement. Because the ultrasound interference will typically represent itself as the shortest distance measurement, the selected distance measurement is preferably greater than the minimum distance measurement (such as, e.g., the maximum distance measurement), thereby filtering the ultrasound interference out.
