Abstract: During playing a slot machine, high brightness
LEDs 39m2 constituting an illumination device 39m are
lighted and a liquid crystal display panel 39d is
illuminated by the light emitted from the high
brightness LEDs 39m2. Since the high brightness LEDs
39m2 are lighted merely through application of DC
current, no inverter circuit is necessary, and the
image displayed on the liquid crystal display panel
39d can be prevented from being disturbed by noise.

Patent EP-1962444-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LEVEN ANDREAS
IPC: H04B10/50
Filed: 2004-01-13
Abstract: A unique optical encoder is employed that utilizes an optical phase modulator, in which an arbitrary phase shift can be realized. The phase modulator is driven by an electrical signal, where the voltage amplitude is proportional to a desired arbitrary phase shift. However, any amplitude noise or poor rise and fall times of the driving voltage translates directly into phase errors. These problems are eliminated by employing a digital phase switch. One encoder, in accordance with the invention, employs an optical phase modulator that can switch the optical phase in a binary manner, wherein the two phase states of the modulator can be chosen to differ by any desired arbitrary angle depending on the splitting ratio of the optical signal to be modulated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toilet bowl with a changeable water seal, which comprises
an upper region, a waste drain outlet of the upper region, a lower region and a waste drain
outlet of the lower region. A deviated waste discharge passage is fixed on a supporting shaft
or a supporting bore. A reposition apparatus is arranged for the reposition of the waste discharged
passage, the lower end of which surrounds the waste drain outlet of the upper region,
the higher end of which could be depressed and repositioned automatically and be lead to the
waste drain outlet of the lower region. This invention could overcome these disadvantages
that immobile waste discharge passage of the traditional toilet bowl between the waste drain
outlet of the upper region and the waste drain outlet of the lower region has a higher water
seal, a higher water resistance and higher water consume. The waste discharge passage of this
invention is deviated automatically to form a lower water seal while flushing, and is repositioned
automatically to form a higher water seal while non-flushing. It can not only seal the
dour but also improve the flushing efficiency and save water. The structure of invention is
simple and reliable and has lower cost.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil (10, 10') et un procédé de séparation d'un flot de particules en groupes de particules, comprenant une chambre de traitement de dilution (12) définissant un canal vertical (20) afin de recevoir un flot de particules de manière que le flot de particules tombe dans une sortie du premier groupe de particules (22). Un boîtier de transfert (13, 13') se situe contre la chambre de traitement de dilution (12) et définit une chambre de transfert afin de recevoir un deuxième groupe de particules. Des sorties du deuxième groupe de particules (24) sont latéralement positionnées par rapport au canal et permettent une communication fluidique entre elles. Un distributeur (14A, 25, 80, 90) situé dans le canal (20) sert à fractionner le flot de particules et à répartir le flot de particules sur une surface du canal (20). Les ouvertures de flux de fluides (25) créent un flux de fluides entre la chambre de transfert et le canal (20) de manière à entraîner un deuxième groupe de particules vers la chambre de transfert, pendant qu'un premier groupe de particules demeure dans le canal (20), afin de sortir à travers la sortie du premier groupe de particules (22). L'appareil  (10, 10') et le procédé servent aussi à mélanger/traiter des flots/fluides de particules.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an arrangement and a method of localizing active speakers in a video conference. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a localization device locates one or more microphones relative to the camera, while the microphone(s) in turn localize the audio source relative to their own position(s). As the microphone(s) is/are usually positioned close to the audio source in a video conference, the ratio of the distance between microphones (or microphone elements) relative to the distance between table microphone and audio source is reduced. Thus, the microphone(s) is/are able to determine the position of the audio source with a higher resolution than if placed close to the camera. When the respective positions of the microphone(s) relative to the camera and the audio source are known, the position of the audio source relative to the camera is then determined by means of geometrical calculations.

Abstract: Chance of breaking a sewing needle is minimized as much as possible to eliminate a cleaning operation of fragments from a broken needle and thus greatly improve a production efficiency. 
     A sewing needle mounting structure comprises a needle stopper 6 with a mounting opening 8 allowing a sewing needle 3 to be freely inserted therein from beneath. A sewing needle 3 is inserted into the mounting opening 8 to lock with a needle stopper 6 to form a sewing needle locking mechanism B. The sewing needle locking mechanism B further comprises a spring 12 installed on the needle stopper 6 and a contact component 10 to push the sewing needle from the side with its elastic force. When upward force higher than a desired value is exerted onto the sewing needle 3, the contact component 10 acts to release the sewing needle 3 from its locked state, while the mounting opening 8 is elongated upward to a position longer than a length required for insertion of the sewing needle in a normal position
