Abstract: A process and apparatus for separating the components of a gas mixture in a pair of
adsorption vessels using a single gas compressor/ pump to move gas into and out of the
adsorption vessels A and B. The cycle is such that the gas compressor/pump P is in
continuous operation. The adsorption cycle is non-symmetrical in that the series of steps
carried out in one of the adsorbers is not the same as the series of steps carried out in
the other adsorber. The apparatus includes an intermediate gas storage container or
reservoir C which is used to temporarily store gas removed from the nonadsorbed gas
outlet end of the adsorption vessels A and B so that it can be used to partially pressurize
the adsorption vessels A and B upon completion of the adsorbent regeneration step of
the adsorption cycle.

Abstract: A needle connecting portion of a syringe which includes
a drug accommodating chamber accommodating a first component
is arranged opposite to a takeout port of a hermetically
closed container which includes a container chamber
accommodating a second component. The syringe is connected
to the container through a connector so as to be movable in
proximity mutually and adapted to be separable from the
connector. There is provided a communication passage capable
of communicating the drug accommodating chamber with the
container chamber. The communication passage is cut off by a
closure member arranged between both of the chambers. The
syringe and the container chamber are moved in proximity to
each other, thereby displacing the closure member so as to
open the communication passage. An injector of the present
invention is compact in shape but can retain sterility
assuredly while being stored and mix both of the components
accommodated therein surely through a simple operation just
before administration. Further, it can prevent the
piercingness of an injection needle from being damaged at the
time of a mixing operation and easily remove a syringe after
the mixing operation.

Abstract: The refrigeration system includes a substantially
liquid refrigerant and an evaporator (22) for transferring
heat from the air to the substantially liquid refrigerant.
The substantially liquid refrigerant becomes a low
temperature, low pressure first substantially gaseous
refrigerant. A compressor (12) compresses the first
substantially gaseous refrigerant into a high pressure,
high temperature superheated second gaseous refrigerant. A
lubricant circuit supplies lubricant to the compressor
(12). A condenser (16) rejects heat from the second gaseous
refrigerant and forms a high pressure, lower temperature
sub-cooled liquid refrigerant. The condenser (16) has an
output stream. A metering device (20) transforms the sub-cooled
liquid refrigerant into the substantially liquid
refrigerant for the evaporator (22). A heat exchanger (18)
includes a coolant circuit for circulating coolant in a
first coolant path on route to the compressor (12); a
lubricant circuit (51) for circulating lubricant in a
second lubricant path on route to said compressor (12) for
cooling via heat exchange with said coolant, and a
refrigerant circuit (49) for circulating said sub-cooled
liquid refrigerant in a third refrigerant path on route to
the metering device (20) for cooling via heat exchange with
said coolant.

Abstract: A lightweight portable germicidal air filter for home and personal use is disclosed. The air filter includes a cabinet which houses an electrostatic air filter, an ultraviolet lamp and a parabolic reflector or a convex lens for focusing the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the lamp on an upstream side of the air filter. The reflector or the lens are constantly oscillated to systematically sweep the upstream side of the filter with germicidal levels of radiation. A fan located adjacent the downstream side of the filter draws air through the filter and impels it out through areas for air outlet in the sidewalls of the cabinet. The advantage is a simple, lightweight germicidal air filter with few moving parts which is inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: Dans un système de communication en boucle fermée, une station de base (14, 16a, 16b) échange des signaux à la fois avec une station de poste fixe (18) et une station d'utilisateur mobile (12). Lorsqu'un utilisateur ou un abonné se rattache initialement à la station de base (14, 16a, 16b), la station de base détermine une situation pour cet utilisateur sur la base d'un numéro d'immatriculation électronique transmis à la station de base, par exemple. La station de base compare ce numéro d'immatriculation avec une base de données (enregistreur de position de rattachement) (15) qui détermine si l'utilisateur correspond à une station fixe (18) ou à une station mobile (12). Si l'utilisateur représente une station fixe, la station de base (14, 16a, 16b) abaisse les seuils du niveau de puissance nominale et minimale. Sur la base des seuils abaissés, la station de base transmet ensuite les signaux de liaison aval à la station fixe (18) avec un niveau de puissance inférieur. Ainsi, la station de base peut augmenter sa capacité en raison du taux de puissance global réduit.

Abstract: A telecommunications system (18) is provided that includes a first controller (20) and a second controller (22) coupled using a packet-switched network (32). The controllers provide a low cost means of coupling isochronous telecommunication devices. The first controller (20) receives one or more isochronous input channels from a common control shelf (24), such as a private branch exchange (PBX), over a circuit-switched network (27). The first controller (20) encapsulates an isochronous frames from the common control shelf (27) into a data frame that is transferrable over the packet-switched network (32). The second controller (22) is configured to receive the data frame and extract the isochronous frame, which is then transmitted to a peripheral shelf (26), such as a line trunk unit (LTU), using an isochronous circuit-switched network (38). The controllers contain identical functionality, permitting bi-directional transmission of data between the common control and peripheral shelves. Each controller includes multiplex/de-multiplex functions normally associated with isochronous telephony, as well as a packetize/de-packetize functions for transferring data over the packet-switched network (32). The arrival rate of the data packets is used for synchronizing the two controllers.

Abstract: A reflected beam 6 is diffracted by regions 7a and 7b
of a hologram 71, these diffracted beams are converged or
diverged, and ±1-order diffracted beams from each region are
received by light-receiving regions 9a+ to 9b- arranged apart
from the center of the hologram by a distance almost optically
equal to the distance between the center point of the hologram
and a convergence (focal) point of the 0-order reflected beam.
Three signals obtained from three regions of each light-receiving
region are calculated to obtain a focus signal, and,
at the same time, signals obtained from four regions of each
light-receiving region are calculated to obtain a tracking
signal, so that, by using both the ±1-order diffracted beams,
a focus error signal detected by the SSD method and a tracking
error signal detected by the DPD method are simultaneously
obtained with high efficiency and high precision.

Abstract: A lensed sleeve has a holder having at least two substantially parallel rows of optical
fibres which are offset from one another by about 2 µm or more. Generally these
defective offset sleeves have to be discarded as their offset inhibits proper coupling of
light, however in accordance with this invention a lens is disposed to receive light from at
least optical fibres within one of the at least two rows of optical fibres. By using
symmetry about the lens, light can be efficiently coupled between particular fibre ends on
the offset rows. Advantageously, this invention provides a use for otherwise useless
sleeves which did not meet intended tolerances.

Abstract: The aim is to provide a gas sensor element exhibiting improved
durability against high temperature and high humidity while maintaining a
strong bond between a solid electrolyte layer and an outer electrode and a
strong bond between the outer electrode and a protection layer. 
     In the invention, a gas sensor element 10 includes a solid electrolyte
layer 11 having a plurality of projections 11a formed on its outer surface; an
inner electrode 12 formed on the inner surface of the solid electrolyte layer
11; an outer electrode 13 formed on the outer surface of the solid electrolyte
layer 11; and a spinel protection layer 14 formed on the outer electrode 13 for
protection purpose. The projections 11a are formed on the outer surface of the
solid electrolyte layer 11 such that they are formed in a single layer; an area
occupied by the projections 11a accounts for 10% to 85% that of the outer
surface of the solid electrolyte layer 11; and the distance between the
neighboring projections is 5 µm to 300 µm. thus, the outer electrode is
formed on the solid electrolyte layer in such a manner as to penetrate into pits
formed between neighboring projections and is thus strongly bonded to the
solid electrolyte layer, thereby improving thermal durability. Also, since
"pores" are hardly formed or are not formed at all between projections, a
strong bond is established among the solid electrolyte layer, the outer 
electrode, and the protection layer, thereby improving durability against high
temperature and high humidity.

Abstract: A scanner (10) includes a photodetector (48), an encoder (32) and an exposure control (70). For each line of pixels detected by the photodetector, the exposure control starts the exposure time and then stops the exposure time after a specified amount of relative motion has been detected. Thus, variations in the amount of relative motion cause inversely proportional variations in the exposure time to ensure that exposure time for each line of pixels corresponds to the same displacement. The exposure control can compensate for unavoidable position and velocity errors encountered in a dc motor drive and thereby allows a dc motor drive (14) to be used in low cost commercial scanning products.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system having an adaptive
spatial filter (20-26) the filter coefficients of which, for
a particular image parameter sample, are determined by
counting the number of neighboring image parameter
samples having zero or near-zero values. If the
number of zero or near-zero values in a data window is
greater than a predetermined threshold, the data in
the window is passed, not filtered. This filter has
two advantages over other spatial filters. First,
image parameter data samples having only zero or near-zero
neighboring values (i.e., isolated "point noise")
are not smeared. Second, boundaries such as the edge
of color in a vessel (where the surrounding area is
black, i.e., the color image parameter values are zero
or near zero) are not smoothed as much as in conventional
filters, preserving the sharpness of the edge.
