Patent EP-0322063-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN BARRY
IPC: H03H19/00
Filed: 1988-12-19
Abstract: A circuit arrangement for processing sampled analogue electrical signals, each sample being in the form of a current, comprises means for combining, in predetermined proportions, the input sample current in the present sample period with current(s) derived from input sample current(s) in one or more preceding sample periods and means for deriving the processed output signal from the combined current produced by the combining means in successive sample periods. 
     The circuit arrangement is formed by a plurality of circuit modules, for example scaling, memory, and integrator modules, each of which may be capable only of processing uni-directional currents. To enable easy interconnection of the modules, each module is arranged to receive and deliver bi-directional currents and to generate internally bias currents to enable conversion from bi-directional to uni-directional currents and vice versa.

Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Formen, Füllen und Verschliessen von Schlauchbeutelpackungen. Bei bestimmten Füllprodukten ist es vorteilhaft, vor dem Verschliessen die Beutelpackung "abzustreifen", d.h. dafür zu sorgen, dass der Beutel volumenmässig verdrängt wird. Damit erreicht man, dass alle Packungen satt gefüllt werden trotz schwankendem spezifischem Gewicht des Füllproduktes. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsmässig durch Zurückförderung des Beutelschlauches unter Passieren einer Engstelle gelöst. Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht in der Möglichkeit, dank kleinen bewegten Massen hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten zu erreichen.

Abstract: For optimally adjusting the drive to the required dynamic operating values by altering the effective number of wires per groove, with separate feeding and utilising the advantages of common supply, the following is proposed for a two-wire winding of a synchronous three-phase linear motor having a long-stator composed of sections and separate feeding of the section sides: The two wires (1, 2) of each phase of a section side are connected in series as wave windings with different pole pitch in such a way that the two wires are no longer present parallel in each groove, the first wire (1) progressing with conventional pole pitch  tau p (preferably  tau p = 1) and, after being guided back to the start of the section side, the coil windings of the second wire (2) are placed in each case with altered pole pitch in the same direction. In another embodiment, the two wires (1, 2) of each phase of a section side are connected in series as wave windings, the first wire (1) progressing with conventional pole pitch  tau p and the second wire (2) being placed, without guiding back, directly following in the same groove (3) with identical pole pitch  tau p running back in such a way that the current directions in the respective grooves (3) correspond. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mechanism for generating oscillatory motion omnidirectionally transforms rotating motion in which the rotating member is continuously rotated unidirectionally into any number of simultaneous arcuate motions intersecting at predetermined angles. This mechanism includes a disk-shaped body (1) rotatably mounted and swept in a circle so that it completes two periods of rotation over the course of one period of sweep. The altitude of the disk-shaped body always intersects a point on an imaginary line (L), regardless of the angle of inclination (A) of the disk-shaped body. This imaginary line (L) is perpendicular to the circularly swept path of the disk-shaped body at the center of the circularly swept path. Points on the circumferential edge of the disk-shaped body describe an infinite number of arcs as they move around the circularly swept path. These arcs intersect at a common point from an infinite number of angles. Any number of desired arcs intersecting at any angle can be obtained by selecting points on the circumferential edge of the disk-shaped body describing those desired arcs. This apparatus is the basis for improvements in a variety of existing devices such as mixers, grinders, drills, pendulum devices, centrifuges, signal lights, electric shavers, massagers, scanning devices such as ultrasonic, x-ray, radar and computer memory scanners, optical cameras and projectors, dispersing devices, assembly lines, robots, energy bombardment chambers, amusement rides and educational toys.

Abstract: A method of strengthening a metal material of a cast product consisting of a unidirectionally solidified structure of crystals extending long in a direction of casting, and an apparatus for realizing this method. The cast product (12) is passed through a zigzag path formed by contact with circumfer­ential surfaces of rotatable rolls (16, 18, 22, 26, 28, 31), so that repeatedly bending deformation is applied to the cast product to thereby harden the cast product. The repeatedly bending deformation grows dislocation in crystals of the cast product competitively, so that free movement in dislocation of crystals cannot be made any more. As a result of the growth competition of crystals, a strengthened metal material is obtained.

Abstract: A process for preparing a heat-treated body (11, 12, 13) from a material (preferably a dielectric ceramic) that does not couple well with microwaves while nevertheless using microwave energy for the heating step. The process involves the use of a microwave susceptor (14) (i.e. a material that couples well with microwaves) as a means for generating heat in the material. To avoid contamination of the final product, a susceptor is chosen which is converted, during the heating step, to a substance which is substantially the same as the material itself, both the susceptor and the material are converted to the same desired final product, or the material is converted to a substance substantially the same as the susceptor. The resulting substantially pure heat-­treated (and preferably sintered) bodies can be used for a variety of purposes, e.g. as substrates for micro-electronic devices. The process can also be used for joining bodies of non-susceptor materials without contaminating the resulting joint.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a bar code reading wand having a retracting lens (34). The lens is secured in a lens mount (32) which is disposed for axial movement within the end portion (30) of the wand. The lens mount is spring-biased to its normal position, with the end of the lens protruding from the end portion of the wand, which end portion is attached to the barrel of the wand. When the wand is dropped on its reading end or the lens otherwise sharply contacts a hard surface, the lens and lens mount are readily pushed into the tip holder on initial contact by compression of the spring and the relatively undamageable tip holder receives most of the force of the impact. If nevertheless damaged, the lens is easily replaced by removing the tip holder and replacing the damaged lens by removing it and inserting a new lens mounted lens. The retracting lens can be easily retrofit to existing bar code reader wands by replacing the end portions thereof with an end portion according to the present invention.

Abstract: An image is exposed to light (34,36) after a conductive and photoconductive material (44) has been charged (46) so that the charge of the portion exposed to light is neutralized and a latent image is thereby formed. Toner particles in a liquid developer (54) are adsorbed onto the non-exposed portion so that development is performed. Then, the toner particles are dried by a drying device (40) and thus aggregated toner particles are transferred to a transferring material (R) due to an electrostatic force (91). Since the toner image is temporarily dried and is transferred in the aggregated form corresponding to the shape of the image, image disorder due to liquid fluidization that takes place at the time of liquid transference can be prevented. Therefore, a high quality transferred image is obtained.
