Abstract: A mounting structure for plate-like terminals, in which the plate-like terminals (4-6) are parallelly mounted to a terminal holder (1). The structure enables simple and reliable positioning of the plate-like terminals to the terminal holder and prevents an adverse affect to circuit board connection sections of the plate-like terminals in insertion and removal of a fuse. Gradually tapered ribs (14) are parallelly arranged on the terminal holder, and recesses (16-18) or holes (31) engaging with the ribs without gaps at normal mounting positions of the plate-like terminals are formed in the plate-like terminals. Four sides, or front, rear, left, and right side, of each rib have sloped surfaces. Partition walls (15) for partitioning between each plate-like terminal are provided to the terminal holder (1), and the ribs (14) are integrated with the partition walls. The plate-like terminals (4-6) are arranged in tiers in the height direction of the ribs (14). The recess (16) or the hole in the plate-like terminal of the lower tier is made large corresponding to the tapered shape of the rib, and the recess (17) or the hole (31) in the plate-like terminal of the upper tier is made small.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to include, when encoding processing is applied to three color components using a 4:0:0 format, data for one picture in one access unit and makes it possible to set the same time information or the same set encoding modes among the respective color components. In an image encoding system for applying compression processing to an input image signal including a plurality of color components, encoded data obtained by independently subjecting an input image signal of each of the color components to encoding processing and a parameter indicating which color component the encoded data corresponds to are multiplexed with a bit stream. In an image decoding system for inputting a bit stream in which an image signal including a plurality of color components is compressed to perform decoding processing, decoding processing of the encoded data of each of the color components is performed using a parameter indicating which color component the encoded data corresponds to.

Inventor: HAMILTON MARK
IPC: H01M2/00
Filed: 2009-03-26
Abstract: A retrofit module (400, 1100) electrically connects to a device's battery terminals, where an original main battery (200) would otherwise connect to the device (100), and a hot-swappable battery (600) electrically connects to the retrofit module (400, 1100), thereby retrofitting the device (100) for operation with hot-swappable batteries (600), without shutting down the device (100) to swap the batteries (600). When a charged hot-swappable battery (600) is connected to the retrofit module (400, 1100), the retrofit module (400, 1100) powers the device (100) from the hot-swappable battery (600). The retrofit module (400, 1000) includes a bridge battery (800) and a circuit (804, 808, 900, 904, 1004, 1008, 1010) that charges the bridge battery (800) from the hot-swappable battery (600) and that provides power to the device (100) from the bridge battery (800) while the hot-swappable battery (600) is replaced. The retrofit module (400, 1100) may include a releasable structure (410) that maintains the module (400, 1100) in contact with the device's battery terminals, even after the hot-swappable battery (600) has been removed.  The retrofit module (400, 1100) may have a form factor and power supplying terminals (404, 408) similar to those of the main battery that the device (100) is configured to accept.

Abstract: A fabric mold liner includes a flexible fabric substrate and bounded regions of cured binder encapsulating fibers of the fabric substrate and carrying magnetically attractable particles. A liquid containing ferrous particles in suspension in a binder is deposited on the substrate in discrete, selected regions arranged to correspond to magnetic liner retention points in a mold cavity. The mold liner is used in molding a foam article. The liner is inserted into a mold cavity with the liner positioned such that the bounded regions carrying the binder align with magnetic liner retention points of internal surface. A foamable resin is introduced into the mold and is caused to expand to fill the mold cavity and cover an exposed surface of the liner, such that the liner becomes bonded to, and becomes a part of, a foam body formed by the resin.

Abstract: Separation of bitumen from mined ore employs cooling of the mined ore at a temperature where all the species contained in the ore become solid and brittle. Ore is maintained solid by appropriate continuous injection of cold air and/or carbon dioxide in the processing plant through the process. Difference in thermal expansion coefficient between bitumen and other ore species creates thermal stresses at interfaces of bitumen and other materials. The stresses favor separation of bitumen from other materials along species interfaces during comminution. The breaking of existing ore particles tends to occur at interfaces between different species, creating a mix of particles where bitumen particles are not aggregated with any other ore constituents such as ice or sand particles. The particles are maintained cold, loose and unattached. Ore particles are sorted and separated while still frozen in solid phase, creating a stream of frozen bitumen particles. The process is stopped when bitumen concentration is large enough for economical treatment by other bitumen existing processing techniques.
