Patent EP-1040754-A1 (EP)
Title: Spinning reel spool and line economizer therefor
Inventor: HIRAYAMA HIROKAZU
IPC: A01K89/01
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: A spinning reel spool (4) configuration for preventing
backlash as well as line-drop of fishing line off the
spool flange (8). The flange (8) is configured such
that the height of the flange rim relative to the
perimeter of the bobbin trunk (7a) is at least
partially not uniform. Various configurations are
possible thus to define a peak bobbin-to-rim height A
and a minimum bobbin-to-rim height B. The periphery of
the total amount of wound-on line lies at the minimum
height B. Accordingly, the portion of the flange (8)
providing the difference A-B in bobbin-to-rim height
functions as a barrier to backlash. Furthermore, the
spool (4) is deformed from conventional configurations,
such that the shape of the spool bobbin trunk (7a)
differs in different sections. The bobbin trunk (7a) in
sections containing the spool axis is an isosceles
trapezoid, however, in one such section, the bobbin
trunk (7a) tapers forward regularly, but in another
such section tapers rearward in reverse. Furthermore,
in front-end cross-section the bobbin trunk (7a) is an
ellipse in one orientation, whereas in rear-end cross-section
the bobbin trunk (7a) is an ellipse in an
orientation reversed to that of the front-end section.
The major and minor axes of the front- and rear-end
ellipses are thus orthogonal. In the middle, the
bobbin trunk (7a) is circular in cross section.
Configuring the bobbin trunk (7a) thus to taper at once
regularly and in reverse prevents both backlash and
line-drop when the line is wound onto the spool (4).

Patent EP-1144995-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KISHKOVICH OLEG P
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A detection system for detecting contaminant gases includes a converter, a detector, a primary channel for delivering a target gas sample through the converter to the detector, and at least two scrubbing channels for delivering a reference gas sample through the converter to the detector. Each of the scrubbing channels includes a scrubber for removing basic nitrogen compounds from the reference gas sample, while the primary channel preferably transmits the target gas sample without scrubbing. The converter converts gaseous nitrogen compounds in the target gas sample to an indicator gas, such as nitric oxide (NO), and a control system directs the flow of a gas sample among the primary channel and the scrubbing channels. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the basic-nitrogen-compound concentration can be measured by comparing the concentration of the indicator gas detected in the reference sample with the detected indicator-gas concentration in the target sample. The use of multiple scrubbing channels enables the detection to operate continuously since each scrubber can be alternately purged while another is scrubbing.

Abstract: This invention provides an auxiliary material for use
with a superconductive material, which auxiliary material is
characterized in that MgO alone or MgO and NiO are dispersed
in Ag material by internal oxidation. Here, it is preferred
that a weight ratio of Ag and MgO or a weight ratio of Ag,
MgO and NiO is such that MgO is 0.03 to 3.3 wt% and a
balance is Ag. Alternatively, MgO is 0.01 to 1.7 wt%, NiO
is 0.02 to 1.3 wt% and a balance is Ag. The auxiliary
material of the present invention is manufactured by a
process in which after a base material consisting of either
an Ag-Mg composition or an Ag-Mg-Ni composition has been
dissolved and cast, the base material, when in a process of
being formed into a predetermined thickness, is subjected to
an internal oxidation which is carried out at a temperature
of 650 to 850°C and continued for 20 to 80 hours in an
oxygen atmosphere having a pressure of 3 to 10 atm, followed
by being further processed. 
     According to the present invention, the above
described material can be used as an auxiliary material for
use with a superconductive material, thereby making it
possible to produce a tape-like material or a wire-like
material which has an improved stability even under a severe
condition of a heat energy, i.e., it will not be softened by
a heat, nor will it have a reaction with a superconductive 
material, thus ensuring an extremely high mechanical
strength.
