Patent EP-0476915-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MIZUSAWA EUGENE A
IPC: D06M16/00
Filed: 1991-09-11
Abstract: Methods for treating surfaces with lipase to provide an enzyme-surface complex and surfaces so treated facilitate oil removal. One such treated surface is a fabric with lipase sorbed onto the surface. A preferred sorbed lipase is isolatable from a Pseudomonas organism or clone. Treated fabrics have substantial hydrolysis activity for oil stains and perhydrolytic activity for oil stains, have altered surface wettability, and retard oil and hydrolysis by-produce redisposition in the presence of aqueous solutions. The sorbed lipase is resistant to removal during fabric laundering and retains substantial hydrolytic activity even with exposure to drying at elevated temperature. The hydrolytic activity of the lipase-fabric complex persists during storage or wear. Hydrolysis by-products are removable during laundering at basic pH or in the presence of surfactant.

Abstract: In order to supply water into a water tank (35) mounted on a train (33), a position detecting apparatus and method is developed for assisting connection of the tube coupler (36) of the water tank with the tube coupler (37) attached to the working terminal of a robot (27) placed on the ground. Either one of the train and the working terminal of the robot is provided with a target circuit (3) composed of a target coil (1) and a capacitor (2) connected in parallel while the other is provided with an excitation circuit (4), a sensor coil (5, 6) and a detector. The excitation circuit is provided with a power coil (7) driven by an AC power source (8) for generating magnetic field to induce current in a target coil. The magnetic flux center line of the sensor coil is orthogonal to that of the power coil so that the sensor coil does not sense the magnetic field generated by the power coil but senses only the magnetic field generated by the target coil. The output level of the sensor coil corresponds to the relative positions of the target coil and the sensor coil. The detector detects the output level of the sensor coil having a predetermined phase difference from the output of the AC power source. Thus, the position detection can be carried out under poor environment, and also the arrangement can be simplified since the target circuit requires no power source.

Abstract: An apparatus containing four linear gauges (I, II, III and IV) allows simultaneous measurement of the main parameters of a lens blank, namely the vertex radius (or asphericity), the centre thickness, and the front surface sag. A first head member (6) presents contacts (12) which contact the front conicoid surface of a lens blank (101) on a first circle. A measuring head (8) presents contacts (13) on a second circle. Gauges (I and II) measure relative displacements between the contacts (12 and 13) and the end of pointer (3), from which the asphericity or vertex radius can be calculated. Gauges (III and IV) are coupled respectively to the rear and front surfaces of the lens blank (101). The perimeter (106) of the lens blank (101) is aligned with a reference plane (R). The displacements of the gauges (III and IV) can be used to calculate the centre thickness and front surface sag of the lens.

Abstract: A character recognition apparatus and method for recognizing an unknown character by comparing strokes of the input character with stroke information stored in a dictionary. Each stroke of the input character is classified into one of plural categories according to stroke direction. The classified input strokes are rearranged into groups of strokes having the same classification. The degree of analogy between rearranged input strokes and stroke information stored in the dictionary for each group of similarly classified stroke group is calculated based on stroke length, and a maximum analogous element for each input stroke according to the calculated degree of analogy is detected. The detected maximum analogous elements are summed together, and the character whose sum is maximum is output as the identity of the unknown input character.

Abstract: At the free end of a pivotable arm (1) of an aligning device, two wheels (4, 6) of identical diameters are mounted for independent rotary movement, said wheels being driven by a shaft (2). The wheels (4, 6) are each eccentrically offset from the axis of rotation (2a) of shaft (2) by the same amount (26, 27) and are uniformly spaced about said axis. 
     With respect to a plane running perpendicularly to the axis of rotation (2a) of shaft (2), each wheel (4, 6) is mounted at an acute angle (α) such that adjacent wheels (4, 6) are arranged in a V-shaped configuration. 
     The eccentricity (26, 27) and the angular position (α) of the wheels (4, 6) are related such that the contact surface (4b and 6b) of each wheel (4 and 6 respectively) resting on the sheet to be aligned carries out a movement transversely to the sheet-entrance direction (A) and towards the lateral limiting wall (18).

Abstract: The invention relates to a casing for a liquid-tight packing, made of cardboard composite material coated with plastic, and having a longitudinal seam. When turning down an edge strip (4) of the layer inside the seam, in order to achieve a straight edge, composite material (7) is first removed along the fold line of the edge strip (4), to be turned over, in a narrow zone on the inside, bounded by the fold. This removal can be carried out precisely and at low cost in terms of equipment. In this way, the precondition for the production of a straight edge at the position of the fold of the turned-over edge strip (4) is met. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner for helping maintain the cleanliness of the exposed surfaces of an ink jet droplet ejector (10). The vacuum cleaner is comprised of a top cover plate (12), having a plurality of air passages (18), that is located over a channel surface by spacers (16). A vacuum means (22) draws the pressure in the defined volume between the top cover plate, the channel surface, and the spacers below the external pressure, whereby air is drawn into the defined volume through the air passages (18). The resulting air flow removes ink, dust, and debris from the vicinity of the exposed surfaces, thereby helping to maintain the cleanliness of the droplet ejector (10). The top cover plate and spacers are beneficially formed using silicon microstructure fabrication techniques.
