Title: Composite needle
Inventor: MORITA TOSHIAKI
IPC: D04B35/06
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: A tongue (67) is provided, at a front end thereof, with a drop-loop
preventing step (79), and the hook (11) is provided, on an outer edge portion
thereof extending from a sharp-pointed tip (27) of the hook to a top (29) of the
hook, with a loop escape surface (31) to hide the drop-loop preventing step
(79) when the hook (11) is closed by the tongue (67). In addition, the front
end of the tongue is lowered so that a height between a bottom of the needle
body and a top of the drop-loop preventing step (79) is lowered more when
the slider is in a knock-over position than before the slider arrives at the
knock-over position and also the top of the drop-loop preventing step (79)
positioned at the knocked-over position can be positioned at a lower level
than the top (29) of the hook. This can allow a further smooth
knock-over of the loop without negative effects on the yarn feed requirements
for the capture of the yarn by the needle hook.

Abstract: A method of measuring the rate of transmission of
a vapor through a test sample 14 using a mass
spectrometer 7. The test sample 14 is sealed to a gas
cell 10 defining a gas chamber 12, covering an opening
13 in the gas chamber 12. A droplet 16 of water
including isotopes of mass number 20 placed in the
gas chamber 12 and the gas cell 10 is introduced into
a vacuum chamber 1 adjacent a mass spectrometer 7.
After a sufficient time for evaporation of the liquid
to saturate the gas chamber 12 with vapor and for
the output of the mass spectrometer 7 to stabilize,
the partial pressure of vapor in the vacuum chamber 1
is measured using the mass spectrometer 7. The measure
partial pressure is used to derive the rate of
transmission of the vapor through the test sample 14.

Abstract: A belt installation tool (10) for installing a flexible belt on a pulley. On one side, the radius of the tool (10) is substantially equivalent to the radius of a pulley flange. The bearing surface (12) on this side of the tool stretches the belt and guides the belt onto the pulley. To avoid damaging the belt, the radius of the tool (10) and the pulley flange should be substantially equal over substantial length of the pulley. Centric to this radius, a hole (15) is provided to accommodate a single-end socket that projects through the tool. The socket engages a crankshaft bolt, hence, the belt installation tool (10) is centered on the pulley along the socket centerline. The tool and pulley are then turned with a ratchet attached to the socket. The tool (10) comprises a belt bearing surface (12) having variable radius that allows a belt to be stretched to a proper radius without abrupt radius changes, which could damage a belt. The belt is moved axially from the tool (10) into the pulley grooves by a leaderblock (50), which is provided at the tool radius on the bearing surface (12) adjacent to the pulley grooves. By turning the tool (10) about the crankshaft the leaderblock (50) guides the belt flank, causing it to move into a pulley groove. The leaderblock (50) comprises a lip (52) to further hold the tool (10) on a pulley rim.

Abstract: Redox (re)cycling is improved in terms of the measurement technique in such a way that the redox potential created by a redox pair is measured on a reference electrode in an electroless manner. A configuration adapted to the method contains an electrode system having at least three electrodes: one working electrode, one counter electrode and one reference electrode. The reference electrode is arranged in such a way that it is adjacent to at least partial areas of the two other electrodes, and preferably, at an equal distance from the partial areas. In terms of redox recycling, the electrode system is suitable, for example, for detecting enzyme-coupled identification reactions, but also for measuring an oxygen partial pressure or hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: Objective measurement methods and devices for predicting perceptual quality of speech signals degraded in speech processing/transporting systems may have poor prediction results for degraded signals including extremely weak or silent portions. Improvement is achieved by applying a first scaling step in a pre-processing stage with a first scaling factor (S(Y+ DELTA )), which is a function of the reciprocal value of the power of the output signal increased by an adjustment value ( DELTA ), and by a second scaling step with a second scaling factor (S< alpha )<Y+ DELTA ) ; S< alpha i)<Y+ DELTA i), with i=1,2), which is substantially equal to the first scaling factor raised to an exponent having a adjustment value ( alpha ) between zero and one. The second scaling step may be carried out on various locations in the device. The adjustment values are adjusted using test signals with well defined subjective quality scores. <IMAGE>
