Patent CA-2154811-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BADGER DAVID MARK
IPC: H03L7/107
Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: A more rapid charging of an integrating capacitor of a PLL is provided when large frequency changes are desired. In one embodiment, the phase locked loop (PLL) circuit sinks or sources current to charge or discharge the integrating capacitor. A threshold voltage proportional to a current through the capacitor turns on a circuit which sinks or sources more current of the proper polarity to the integrating capacitor from an external source until a PLL lock is achieved. Once the lock is achieved, if a small correction current is required by the PLL, the small correction current is below a threshold required to actuate the augmenting circuit, and the PLL loop behaves in the usual manner as if the augmenting circuit were not present. In another embodiment, the integrating capacitor is reduced in value by switchably connecting a second capacitor in series with the integrating capacitor so that the total reduced capacitance of reduced value can be charged more quickly.

IPC: B31B50/06
Filed: 1994-06-23
Abstract: An automatic sheet loader for automatically transferring sheets to a cardboard packer.  The sheet loader includes at least a pair of chains (35) disposed between upper sprockets (33) and lower sprockets (34) so that the pair of chains face each other to form a sheet transfer path (32) therebetween, brackets (36) mounted on the chains (35) at predetermined intervals and projecting toward the sheet transfer path (32) for supporting a group of sheets from both sides thereof, and drive means for running the chains (35) so as to move the brackets (36) along the sheet transfer path (32) for transferring the group of sheets. When the dimension of each packaging container,  the number of packaging containers in each group, or the manner of packaging is changed, a different kind of sheets are set.  Since each group of sheets is moved and transferred from the upper side to the lower side by the chains (35), it is easy to distinguish the new group of sheets from the previous group of sheets during the exchange operation.

Title: Method and device for feeling acoustic vibration
Inventor: FUJIWARA KAZUMICHI
IPC: H04R5/02
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for imparting the bodily sensation of acoustic vibrations, which eliminates evils caused by the increase in vibrations to increase the bodily sensation. An electric signal of a player 203 is branched and supplied to speakers 201 and 202 or an earphone 210 and an electric machine vibration converter 100. The sound from the speakers 201 and 202 or the earphone 210 and the vibration of the electric machine vibration converter 100 are applied audibly to the human body 100 and sensibly as the bodily sensation to the human body, respectively. When in use, a convex curved surface of an extension 101 provided on the electric machine vibration converter 100 is pinched so as to be strongly pushed between the fingertip 301 of the thumb and the forefinger. Since the vibration is transmitted to the fingertip which is shape in sense, it is possible to realize the most effective impartment of the bodily sensation. Even when the electric machine vibration converter 100 itself is pinched by the fingertip, the effective impartment of the bodily sensation is likewise realized.
