Patent EP-0901573-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STURDEVANT MICHAEL L
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: An actuator (A) includes a body (10) in which a plurality of chambers or bores (34) are defined. The bores are interconnected at an inner end by an elongated passage (30). A heater element (32) extends along the elongated passage. The elongated passage and the inner portion of each chamber or bore are filled with a polymeric material which expands and flows on heating, preferably undergoing a solid to liquid phase change. Extensible members (12), such as pistons, diaphragms, bellows, or the like, are mounted in the bores or wells. When the heater heats the polymeric material causing it to expand and flow, the extensible elements (12) extend under high force with limited travel. In one embodiment, the extension of the extensible members moves a thrust bearing (B) causing frictionally engagable plates (18, 22) of a friction member assembly (C) to engage.

Abstract: This invention consists of a device and procedure to break out and remove residual stampings cut from panels or sheet material, particularly for use in automatic flat-bed punching and/or stamping machines. Needle-shaped stripping devices (12) are fitted to a stripping mould in such a way that they remain resilient and elastic around the points where they are embedded in or attached to the mould. The stripping needles (12) consist a conical or arched section which tapers to a tip (14) and accounts for more than half the total length of the needle. Preferably, the ratio R of needle length l to maximum needle diameter d should be between 6 and 80, whereby the maximum needle diameter is </= 2 mm. Stripping needles fitted on or inside the stripping mould can be combined with established cutting tools, rigid stripping pins or stripping punches.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne la conception d'une section de strippage améliorée (20) destinée à être utilisée dans des unités de craquage catalytique fluide. La section de strippage comprend des moyens qui confèrent au catalyseur de craquage fluide un mouvement rotatif au moment où il traverse ladite section. Dans un mode de réalisation, la section de strippage comprend au moins une ailette rotative (50) disposée de préférence sur la surface d'un plateau (24) de la section de strippage. L'ailette rotative permet au catalyseur de craquage d'effectuer un mouvement angulaire rotatif lorsqu'il traverse la section de strippage. La gravité confère au catalyseur de craquage un mouvement vertical, et la nature inclinée du plateau lui donn un mouvement radial. Le contact entre les particules du catalyseur et la vapeur de strippage augmente avec l'utilisation des ailettes rotatives, améliorant ainsi le rendement global de l'opération de craquage catalytique fluide.

Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication process allows for the
fabrication of high-voltage transistors, logic
transistors, and memory cells where, as required for sub-0.3
micron device geometries, the gate oxide of the logic
transistors is thinner than the tunnel oxide thickness of
the non-volatile memory cells without the undesirable
contamination of the gate oxide of the logic transistors
or contamination of the tunnel oxide of the memory cells.
In one embodiment, the tunnel oxide of the memory cells is
grown to a desired thickness. In a next step, a layer of
doped polysilicon which will serve as the floating gate of
the memory cell(s) is immediately deposited over the
tunnel oxide of the memory cells, thereby protecting the
tunnel oxide from contamination in subsequent masking and
etching steps. The gate oxide of the logic transistors
and the gate oxide of the high-voltage transistors are
then grown to a desired thickness.

Abstract: When performance information, such as MIDI data, is
input, physical events or phenomena are simulated on the basis
of the input performance information, and computer graphics
or CG parameters and tone parameters are determined on the
basis of the simulated results. The determined CG parameters
are passed to a general-purpose CG library, while the
determined tone parameters are passed to a tone generator
driver. The general-purpose CG library generates data
representing a three-dimensional configuration of an object
on the basis of the received CG parameters, and executes a
rendering operation to generate two-dimensional picture data
on the basis of the three-dimensional data, so that the thus-generated
two-dimensional picture data is visually displayed.
The tone generator driver generates a tone signal on the basis
of the received tone parameters, which is audibly reproduced
as an output tone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of making a
Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexer (DWDM) using a Fused-Biconical
Taper ("FBT") technique. The DWDM according to the present invention
comprises a multiple of Multi-window Wavelength-Division Multiplexers
("MWDMs") which cascade together in several stages, each stage has
several MWDMs having an identical window spacing. For a N-channel DWDM,
there are 2 m-1 MWDMs cascaded in m-th stage, and the window
spacing of the m-th stage MWDMs is 2 m-1 Δλ, where m
is from 1 to (logN/log 2), for example, the first stage(m=1) having 1
MWDM and the window spacing is Δλ, the second stage(m=2)
having 2 MWDMs and the window spacing is 2 Δλ, the third
stage(m=3) having 4 MWDMs and the window spacing is 4Δλ,
etc., and the (logN/log2)-th stage has (N/2) MWDMs with a window spacing
(N/2)Δλ. The number N could be 2,4,8,16 or more. 
     To make a
FBT MWDM, first select two optical fibers about the same diameter, remove
the buffer at a middle position for the two fibers, pull the two fibers
axially with an angle and force an extended middle portion of the two
fibers together, then heat the middle portion of the two fibers by a
heating source, at the same time stretch the two fibers axially for a
distance until a mode interference has occurred and then the
characteristics of MWDM has appeared. The fused fibers are subsequently
glued to a quartz substrate followed by sealing them to a container to
make the FBT MWDM.
