Patent EP-1183825-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAN NARCISO L
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a MAC protocol for a distributed wireless network that prevents interference among the nodes of the network and increases the chance of simultaneous communication, hence increasing the capacity of the wireless network. In one situation, a signal is generated to indicate a first node in the network is receiving data from a second node in a predetermined channel. The signal is transmitted to one or more other nodes in the predetermined channel. Further, a data transmission is prevented from the one or more other nodes in the predetermined channel if the signal is received. In another situation, a signal is generated to indicate a first node in the network is not receiving data from a second node in a predetermined channel. The signal is transmitted in the predetermined channel to one or more other nodes. Further, data is transmitted from the one or more other nodes in the predetermined channel if the signal is received.

Abstract: The present invention provides a biochip reader for reading image
information appropriate for a plurality of samples with an optical
detector, by emitting a plurality of light beams onto a biochip on which
the plurality of samples are arranged in spots or linear arrays. The
biochip reader is configured so that the spatial positions of the
plurality of samples and the plurality of light beams agree with each
other. Since this biochip reader configuration requires no scanning, it
is possible to read image information from multiple samples at high
speed. Furthermore, as long as a comparison is made with reference to
the same duration of reading, the required level of light intensity
decreases as the number of beams increases. Thus, there is no need for
emitting high-intensity beams of laser light as seen in the prior art.
Consequently, there is virtually no risk of bleaching fluorescent stain.

Abstract: A dual mode drum brake device of this invention is
subject to lightning and low-cost without over braking
during the parking brake operation. Pistons 10, 11 in a
cylinder device 9 push and rotate brake shoes 2, 3 to be
separated apart around an abutment point with an anchor 8
during the service brake operation, thereby functioning
as a leading trailing brake. An operation force W of the
parking brake rotates a lever 14 in a counterclockwise
direction around a pin 13, one end of the lever 14
rotates the brake shoe 3 outwardly around a protuberance
12a via the pin 13, and the other end of the lever 1
rotates the lever 12 in a clockwise direction via a strut
15 around the protuberance 12a to rotate the brake shoe 2
outwardly around the abutment point with the anchor 8 via
the protuberance 12a. The brake shoe 2 or 3 positioned
at a side adjacent to the rotational direction of a drum
is trailed by the drum, transmitting the drum rotational
force to the remaining brake shoe 3 or 2 via the pistons
10, 11, and ultimately being received by the anchor 8,
thereby functioning as a duo servo type brake. Members
transmitting the rotational force between the brake shoes
2, 3 are the pistons 10, 11, which increases a distance Y
between the members and the drum center and enables to
maintain a smallest required braking force.
