Patent EP-1154158-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIMURA NAOFUMI
IPC: F04B27/08
Filed: 2001-05-04
Abstract: A suction port of a piston type compressor is formed
in the shape similar to a portion of a sector with an
apex portion of the sector removed. A distal end portion
of a suction valve which can open and close the suction
port has a contour line including a distal end forming
line extending generally parallel to a distal end line of
the suction port, and side lines. A gap between the
distal end line of the suction port and the distal end
forming line of the suction valve is substantially
constant, and a gap between the distal end forming line
and the circle of the cylinder bore is substantially
constant. The ease of the inflow of a gas when the gas
is sucked from the suction port to the cylinder bore is
improved.

Abstract: An optical reagent format with a precise capillary channel is made by molding a
format on a carrier of a precise predetermined thickness. The carrier includes an insert
at least a portion of which is molded in the format. Once the format is made, the insert
is detached from the carrier and removed from the format leaving a precisely
dimensioned capillary channel with an inlet and vent. A reagent may be applied in the
capillary channel and the format used to measure the analyte in a fluid such as blood. 
     An electrochemical sensor with a capillary channel is formed by placing a
sacrificial insert and electrodes on a sensor base and applying plastic material. After
the plastic material is cured, the sacrificial is removed leaving a capillary channel in the
sensor. The inserts may be removed by a tool including a clamp for clamping and
holding each insert stationary and a sliding block to which the sensor is secured.

Abstract: An approach for controlling bandwidth allocations for a switching system with
transmission constraints is disclosed. A scheduler (603) within a switching system
generates bandwidth metrics for a destination site. A traffic control processing logic
(613) receives the bandwidth metrics. The traffic control processing logic (613)
includes a utilization module (615) that determines utilization associated with the
destination site based upon the received bandwidth metrics, and an error calculation
module (617) that computes the difference between the determined utilization and a
target utilization. A gain and filtering module (619), which is also a part of the traffic
control processing logic (613), computes a correction value based upon the difference
between the determined utilization and the target utilization, in which the correction
value being associated with the destination site. Further, the traffic control processing
logic (613) includes an adder (621) that outputs a control value based upon a reference
control value and the correction value. A bandwidth control processor (611) assigns
bandwidth allocation based upon the control value.

Abstract: An electronic circuit device has contact terminal outside its package. The contact terminals are connected via the main current channels of two transistors connected in parallel between the contact terminals, so as to provide a switchable short circuit between the terminals. The device is tested by connecting two sense contacts of a resistance measuring device to the terminals and measuring the resistance between the sense contacts a first, second and third state respectively, the first and second transistor being switched on and off respectively in the first state and vice versa in the second state, both transistors being switched on in the third state. The resistance in the three states is modeled as a model resistance composed of a series resistance component in series with a first resistance component, a second resistance component and a parallel arrangement of said first and second resistance component respectively. The series resistance component is eliminate in tests of the device to avoid the effect of an unstable contact resistance between the terminals and the sense contacts.
