Patent EP-1050678-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROWE ROBERT KEVIN
IPC: F02K1/78
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: An exhaust nozzle (20) includes cascade vanes (24) mounted in a duct (22) for
discharging exhaust. The vanes have a dolphin profile which is effective for
turning subsonically the exhaust near leading edges (32) of the vanes, and then
diffusing supersonically the exhaust downstream therefrom. Thrust efficiency of
the vanes is therefore shifted to lower pressure ratios during operation for
improving performance of the nozzle.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the initial start up of a radiant heater (35) used
in an infant care apparatus. The system and method provides power to the radiant heater
in excess of the 100% rated power of the heater for an initial energisation period of time to
cause a more rapid heating of the heater. An initial power is set for the heater to adopt
following the initial energisation and the system uses that power to determine the period of
time that the heater is provided with the excess power and discontinues that excess power
after the determined period of time so that the control of the heater is returned to a normal
heating algorithm to thereafter provide the control of power to the heater. By use of the
excess power upon initial energisation start-up of the radiant heater, the heater more
rapidly provides heat to an infant being cared for in the infant care apparatus. In the
preferred embodiment, the system and method is used with an infant care apparatus that
can be converted from an incubator function to a infant warmer by moving a radiant heater
(35) from a lower position where it is not activated to an upper position where the radiant
heater is activated.

Abstract: A master controller in a control area network system in a larger control area network may have a plurality of devices coupled thereto. The master controller may further include a device manager which provides a virtual device. The virtual device operates to link a state associated with the virtual device to a plurality of states associated with the devices such that the respective states are maintained in a substantially similar condition. The substantially similar condition is maintained by propagating a change in the state of the virtual device to a change in the state of the devices and a change in the state of one or more of the devices is propagated to the virtual device and all other devices.

IPC: F25B41/00

Abstract: In an ejector cycle system using carbon dioxide as
refrigerant, an ejector (400) decompresses and expands
refrigerant from a radiator (200) to suck gas refrigerant
evaporated in an evaporator (300), and converts an expansion
energy to a pressure energy to increase a refrigerant pressure
to be sucked into a compressor (100). Because refrigerant is
decompressed and expanded in a super-critical area, a pressure
difference during the decompression operation becomes larger,
and a specific enthalpy difference becomes larger.
Accordingly, energy converting efficiency in the ejector
becomes higher, and efficiency of the ejector cycle system is
improved.

Abstract: A power control system for a multi-carrier base station transmitter is capable of
controlling power levels of individual RF carriers. The power control system has a multi-channel
conversion system for generating a plurality of analog reference signals
corresponding to a plurality of digital input signals. The multi-channel conversion
system also generates an analog multi-carrier signal and samples the multi-carrier
signal. The multi-carrier signal represents a summed amplification of the digital input
signals. A correlating power detection system is connected to the multi-channel
conversion system and generates digital total power control signals based on the
analog reference signals and the analog sampled multi-carrier signal. A feedback
conversion module is connected to the multi-channel conversion system and the
correlating power detection system and individually controls amplification of the digital
input signals based on the total power control signals.

search area to be used for image correlation processing based on the control
points correlated by the control point search unit, and sets respective data
blocks, i.e., a reference data block and a search data block. An arithmetic
operation unit executes orientation calculation, and image correlation
processing (stereo matching) for the search area set by the search area
setting unit. A display unit is a stereo monitor, a personal computer

rotation of the valve plug can be repeated to transfer more liquid. The metering
valve can be used to deliver vaporizable germicides to a sterilization chamber. A
single metering valve can be used to deliver varying amounts of vaporizable
germicide to different sizes of sterilization chamber by rotating the valve plug an
