Patent EP-0394009-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KASAI ISAO
IPC: H05B6/80
Filed: 1990-04-18
Abstract: A cooking heating apparatus has a steam sensor (7) for sensing the state of heating of a foodstuff in a heating chamber (1), thus performing automatic control of the heating operation. An auxiliary exhaust opening (4) for allowing steam from the heated foodstuff to be intro­duced to the steam sensor is formed in a region where the flow of the steam is not influenced by a main flow of air supplied into the heating chamber and flowing towards a main exhaust opening (3). The steam sensor is disposed so as to be exposed to the steam introduced through the auxiliary exhaust opening. The condition of the steam is therefore sensed quickly without being influenced by the main flow of air.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and method a cardiac monitor (62, 64) monitors the cardiac cycles of a patient in an examination region (10). Each cardiac cycle includes an R-wave (40) at the beginning of the end-diastole. A conditioning pulse trigger (74) enables a preconditioning pulse control (34) to generate a conditioning pulse (42) at a time selected in accordance with the R-wave (40 n-1 ) of one cardiac cycle. More specifically, an R-wave predictor (72) predicts when the next R-wave (40 n ) will occur and the conditioning pulse trigger enables the application of the conditioning pulse (42 n ) a selected duration before the next predicted R-wave (40 n ). An imaging sequence trigger (78) enables an image sequence controller (24) to start an imaging sequence in an imaging window (44 n ) in conjunction with the R-wave (40 n ). Preferably, the imaging sequence starts immediately with the R-wave (40 n ) such that the end-diastole stage of the heart is imaged. In this manner, a conditioning pulse, such as an inversion pulse or a saturation pulse, is applied in one cardiac cycle to affect the imaging sequence in the next cardiac cycle. The application of the preconditioning pulse is timed such that the longitudinal magnetization of the blood (54) is near zero (56) during the imaging sequence while the transverse magnetization of cardiac tissue (52) has substantially recovered by the imaging sequence.

Abstract: A refiner (50) for producing mechanical pulp has greater spacing between bars (13,24,124) of the refiner grinding elements than is conventional. The grooves (15) between the bars have a sloping bottom (16,25,125) making an angle of about 1-30° (preferably 5-20°) with respect to a straight line between the bars. The width of the grooves is about 10-50 mm. The relative rotation of the refiner elements (whether disk shaped (20,21), cylindrical, or conical (10)) with respect to each other results in sequential refining by providing a moving tension field, with successive compressions before impacts, and expansions, achieving increased fiber flexibility, more fiber rolling motion, and less fiber cutting. Pulp produced has increased fiber flexibility yet maintains a high content of long fibers, and higher refiner capacity also ensues. Also, the refiner can be used to mix treatment chemicals -- such as bleaching chemicals in liquid form -- into kraft pulp at high consistency (e.g. about 30-55%).

Abstract: An Nth one of N parallel sequences of low-speed data (LD n ) demultiplexed by a demultiplexer (15) from high-speed input data (HD) in synchronization with a high-speed clock (HCL) is compared by N comparators (19₁-19 N ) with N parallel sequences of reference patterns (RP₁-RP N ). The N parallel sequences of reference patterns are each generated in synchronization with a frequency divided clock (FCL) obtained by frequency dividing the high-speed clock into 1/N. When any of the comparators provides a disagreement output at least once, one clock pulse is eliminated by a post-clock eliminating circuit (16) from the divided clock so that the N sequences of reference patterns are each delayed by one bit. When it is detected by a counter (21) that any one of the comparators does not provide the disagreement signal for n consecutive bits, the sequence of reference pattern corresponding to this comparator and the Nth sequence of low-speed data are in synchronization with each other. Clock pulses of the number corresponding to the line position of the synchronized sequence of reference pattern are eliminated by a pre-clock eliminating circuit (13) from the high-speed clock which is applied to the demultiplexer. By this, line positions of the N parallel sequences of low-speed data are sequentially shifted so that the Nth sequence of low-speed data assumes the same line position as that of the synchronized reference pattern, and as a result, the N parallel sequences of low-speed data are synchronized with the N parallel sequences of reference patterns, respectively.

Abstract: In the manufacture of coated optical fiber, fiber (21) is drawn from a preform (22) and coating with one or preferably two layers (42,44) of light curable coating materials. Afterwards, the coating materials are cured. Increases in manufacturing line speed may be achieved if the cure speed of the coating materials is increased. This is accomplished by the simultaneous application of a magnetic field during irradiation of the curable coating materials to enhance the crosslinking of the coating materials by a free radical polymerization mechanism. Upon absorption of light, a photoinitiator in each composition cleaves to produce two free radical fragments in the spin paired or singlet state. The magnetic field has the effect of enhancing the production of spin parallel radicals which enhances the polymerization initiation of the coating material, thereby allowing an increase in the manufacturing line speed through drawing and coating apparatus.

Abstract: This invention relates to pressure-sensitive adhesives, and, more particularly, a composition formed from a blend of pressure-sensitive adhesives. It has frequently been proposed to blend two or more pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions in order to realize the advantages of each. However, mere blending in solution of two or more different pressure-sensitive adhesives most often results in a composition of poor, or at best, compromised properties, and consequently, the blend is of little or no commercial value as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. This invention provides an adhesive composition comprising a blend consisting essentially of (1) an adhesive composition comprising a tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive, said adhesive preferably selected from rubber-based adhesives, e.g., the thermoplastic elastomers, and (2) a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a polymer having in its backbone at least a major portion by weight of polymerized monomeric acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a non-tertiary alcohol having from 1 to 14 carbon atoms with the average number of carbon atoms being about 4 to about 12, and grafted to the backbone, polymeric moieties having a Tg greater than about 20°C and a weight average molecular weight above about 2,000. The pressure-sensitive adhesive of adhesive composition (1) has moieties, e.g., blocks or grafts, that associate with the polymeric moieties grafted to the backbone of the polymer of adhesive composition (2). Pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared from the composition of this invention can be tailored to exhibit high values of peel adhesion with respect to both polar and non-polar surfaces, a high level of tack, and a high level of static shear.

Abstract: A hybrid single-phase variable reluctance motor (31) comprises a stator (33) having a plurality of inwardly salient teeth (41A-41D) terminating at a central bore (37). The teeth are arranged in generally diametrically opposed pairs of teeth and are generally evenly spaced around the bore. A phase winding (43) is operatively associated with one pair of the stator teeth. The winding, when energized, causes a temporary magnetization of the stator teeth. A rotor (35) is disposed for rotation in the bore and has outwardly salient teeth (45A, 45B) generally diametrically opposed to each other. A permanent magnet (53) is disposed adjacent the bore at the end of one tooth (41D) of a second pair (41C, 41D) of stator teeth. One tooth (41D) of the second pair of stator teeth is offset with respect to a longitudinal axis (A₁) of the second pair of teeth. This offset acts to eliminate a stable detent position in which the rotor could otherwise "park" itself when it stops running. Parking in such a position makes it difficult to restart the motor.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic packing system including a station at which a serial stream of articles are placed into stacks (one on top of another) or groups and discharged into a transversely moving tray-type package, or the like. The system includes a conveyor belt for transporting the articles, one by one, while they lie in a horizontal plane. The articles are transferred by another conveyor to a station at the end of the conveyor where the articles are stopped by protruding pins, picked up by a vacuum holding device, transferred by lever mechanisms and carried to a loading station where the articles are dropped one upon another in a stacked manner until an appropriate group has accumulated. When the appropriate group has been accumulated, the bottom of the loading station opens to release the stacked group of articles to fall into its tray-type package, which is moved transversely under the loading station in synchrony with the accumulated articles so as to be directly under the group of dropped articles.
