IPC: B65B25/20
Filed: 1999-01-18
Abstract: A machine for automatically packaging one or more
items, particularly hosiery items, in a bag including: a
conveyor (2) for conveying the items (3) to be packaged to a
packaging station (4); a frame (28) for retaining at least
one bag (5), with its mouth open, at the packaging station
(4) and at least one pusher (6) which is arranged at the
packaging station and faces the open mouth of the bag
retained in the packaging station. The conveyor (2) has a
plurality of receptacles (7) for the items (3) to be
packaged and can move intermittently in order to position,
in each instance, at least one receptacle (7) at the
packaging station (4) between at least one pusher (6) and
the open mouth of at least one bag (5) retained in the
packaging station (4). The pusher (6) can be actuated so as
to pass in each instance through the receptacle (7) that is
located between the pusher (6) and the mouth of the bag (5),
in order to push the item (3) to be packaged, arranged in
the receptacle (7) of the conveyor (2), into the bag (5).

Abstract: A steering gear (10) for a motor vehicle includes a housing (12), a rack bar (14), a pinion (16),
a support yoke (30), a spring (26), a split roller (33), and a plurality of bearings (20). The rack bar (14) is
slidably supported within the housing (12) for transverse displacement therein along an
axis. The rack bar (14) has teeth (18) on a first side. The pinion (16) has teeth (17) drivingly engaging
the teeth (18) of the rack bar (14). The pinion (16) is rotatably supported within the housing (12).
Rotation of the pinion (12) transversely displaces the rack bar (14) along the axis. The
support yoke (30) is slidably disposed in the housing (12) for movement toward a side of the
rack bar (14) substantially opposite the teeth (18) of the rack bar (14). The support yoke (30) has an
opening (46) which is open toward the rack bar (14), with the opening defining two opposed
bearing surfaces. The spring (26) is disposed between the housing (12) and the support yoke (30),
and biases the support yoke (30) toward the rack bar (14). The split roller (33) includes a first
split roller section (34) and a second split roller section (34). The first split roller section (34) is
substantially conical in shape and has a large diameter side located proximate to
one of the bearing surfaces. The first split roller section (34) is rotatably disposed on and
axially slidable toward the one of the bearing surfaces and tangentially engages the
rack bar (14). The second split roller section (34) is also substantially conical in shape with
a large diameter side located proximate to an other of the bearing surfaces. The
second split roller section (34) is rotatably disposed on and axially slidable toward the
other of the bearing surfaces and tangentially engages the rack bar (14). Low friction
radial bearings (36) are disposed between the dowel pins (32) and the roller sections (34). Low
friction thrust bearings are axially disposed between the roller sections (34) and the
bearing surfaces of the support yoke (30). The spring (26) acts against the support yoke (30) to
press the roller sections (34) against the rack bar (14), causing the rollers (34) to separate from
each other and thereby defining a gap therebetween and pressing the washers (42)
against the bearing surfaces of the support yoke (30).

Abstract: A method of improving the utility of electrochemical glucose sensors by
decreasing either or both their settling time and their sensitivity to interfering
compounds. In particular, the settling time of an electrochemical glucose sensor is
improved by pretreating the operating electrode with a negative electric current at a
constant current density. The sensor's sensitivity to interfering compounds is reduced
by operating the sensor at a reduced voltage while the glucose concentration
measurement is being made.

IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: An optical inverter (10) that uses a saturable absorber
(28) to distinguish between a logical one and a logical zero.
A low power laser (18) generates an optical beam that is split
into a first beam that propagates among a first beam path (24)
and a second beam that propagates along a second beam path
(26). The saturable absorber (28) is an optical switch that is
positioned in the first beam path (24), and is switched from an
opaque mode to a transparent mode when it receives an optical
input signal. The first beam and the second beam are
recombined as an optical output beam in an optical combiner
(30). The first beam path (24) and the second beam path (26)
have a length relative to each other such that the first and
second beams are 180° out of phase when they reach the optical
combiner (30). Therefore, if the saturable absorber (28) is
switched to the transparent mode, the first and second beams
combine destructively and the optical output beam is dark, or a
logical zero. When the saturable absorber (28) is in the
opaque mode, the first beam is blocked so that the optical
output beam is the second beam, providing a logical one. A
second saturable absorber (34) can be provided to receive the
optical output beam from the combiner (30) to absorb residual
light when the output beam is dark. Additionally, an optical
amplifier (36) can be provided to receive the optical output
beam from the combiner (30) to amplify the optical output beam
to a consistent, predetermined output level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of channel-adaptive power control.
According to the invention, the method makes it possible to control the
transmission power in a channel-adapting way, employing an arbitrary
large set of different TPC algorithms (TPCAs) for use. Each TPCA should be
well adapted to a special kind of channel characteristics. The set of TPCAs is
all the better performing when it covers the largest scale possible of channel
characteristics. At any time, the transmission power is controlled by that
algorithm chosen among the set of algorithms that appears to be optimal
for the actual channel characteristics.

Abstract: In an ATM switching module, expansion interfaces are
connected in pair to an ATM switch to respectively operate in
active and standby states. When another ATM switching module is
installed and a connection is established between an expansion
interface of standby state and the newly installed ATM switching
module, a process sets the standby state expansion interface in hot-standby
state, and holds off incoming ATM cells destined for the
hot-standby state expansion interface until the connection is ready
to accept cell traffic, whereupon the hot-standby state expansion
interface is switched to active state, whereby the ATM switch and
an ATM switch of the another switching module constitute a multi-stage
configuration. The processor is arranged to update the
routing table according to internal state of the ATM switch so that,
when a call is to be established for an incoming ATM cell, the
header of the cell contains a plurality of fields containing routing
data respectively associated with different stages of the multi-stage
configuration.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit de consommation d'énergie (50) adaptable, à courant continu, qui comporte un boucle de contre-réaction (78) entre la borne de puissance et la borne de commande de l'amplificateur HF (52). Un régulateur (60) influence la boucle de contre-réaction de façon à établir le courant d'alimentation sur un minimum désiré, nécessaire pour maintenir le fonctionnement linéaire de l'amplificateur. La sortie de l'amplificateur influence la boucle de contre-réaction de façon à faire varier dynamiquement le courant d'alimentation à partir du niveau désiré. Une autre boucle de contre-réaction est formée entre la borne de puissance et une borne de commande d'une alimentation en tension variable. Le régulateur influence la boucle de contre-réaction de façon à établir la tension d'alimentation sur un niveau minimum désiré, nécessaire pour maintenir le fonctionnement linéaire de l'amplificateur. La sortie de l'amplificateur influence la boucle de contre-réaction de façon à faire varier dynamiquement la tension d'alimentation à partir du niveau désiré. Le régulateur fait fonctionner l'amplificateur dans les conditions de puissance de sortie élevée, mais le court-circuite dans les conditions de puissance de sortie basse. On peut ainsi maintenir le fonctionnement linéaire de l'amplificateur tout en optimisant son rendement énergétique.
