Patent EP-2228480-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TOBI YUKIO
IPC: D06F33/02
Filed: 2008-09-04
Abstract: The inventive washing machine is capable of deodorizing a daily commodity with cleaning air in a shorter period of time. When the daily commodity is deodorized with the cleaning air, a control section (120) causes a heater (100) to heat air in a washing tub (3) to maintain an inside air temperature of the washing tub (3) within a predetermined temperature range. This promotes the deodorization with the cleaning air, as long as the cleaning air is not decomposed by the heating. As a result, the daily commodity can be satisfactorily deodorized irrespective of an operation period set by a timer (122), for example, even if a daily commodity deodorization process is performed with the use of the cleaning air in a shorter period of time (a minimum air-wash process is performed).

Abstract: A system and method are provided that enable a mobile device when out-of-coverage and thus unable to send or receive messages to rely on other mobile devices which are also out-of-coverage as "hosts" for their outgoing messages such that when one of the hosts comes back into coverage the host mobile device (HMD) can send the outgoing messages on behalf of the originating or "source" mobile device (SMD). The system and method may comprise a pairing procedure to determine the suitability of a mobile device being an HMD according to criteria such as battery power, memory availability and whether the device is also out of coverage. When coming back into coverage, information is obtained from the data communication system to determine whether others have already sent messages that have been provided to host mobile devices.

Abstract: The present publication discloses a method for coating pipes. The method comprises applying curable first polymer (e.g. epoxy) onto the surface of the pipe and partially curing the first polymer or leaving the first polymer uncured to in order to form a reactive first polymer layer. Thereafter, the pipe with the reactive first polymer layer is heated and a second polymer (e.g. polyolefin) is applied directly onto the heated reactive first polymer layer, whereby the two polymers react and form a protective coating on the pipe or pipe section. In particular, the heating can be carried out in two steps such that the first polymer stays reactive until the application of the second polymer.

Abstract: The retracting diameter is increased by retracting of a seat belt 4, a surface 4b of the retracted seat belt 4 is brought into contact with a braking roller 17, and then, the braking roller 17 is brought into contact with an inclined portion 18b of a braking member 18. Then, the braking roller 17 is braked by a wedge effect between the surface 4b of the retracted seat belt 4 and the inclined portion 18b, and a seat belt retracting speed is largely reduced. After that, the braking roller 17 elastically deflects the inclined portion 18b of the braking member 18 and axially moves, and the seat belt 4 is retracted at a low speed while the seat belt retracting speed is reduced by a small amount. When full-amount retracting of the seat belt 4 is finished, rotation of a spool 9 in a seat belt retracting direction α is stopped. By means of retracting at a low speed after large speed reduction, a lock mechanism is brought to a non-lock position, and end lock is prevented. 
     These features simplify the structure and facilitate assembling so that the handling performance of a seat belt by an occupant is improved and end lock is prevented more effectively ( Fig. 6 ).

Abstract: An unrestricted binary unambiguous file or memory mapped object is disclosed with a description of a corresponding reading and writing process. The file or object may be used to store data of any type. 'Binary unambiguous' is refers to a quality whereby the binary data stored within the datastore (file or memory map) is always and uniquely identified by a binary type identifier readily discerned from the self same map. Similarly, the term 'unrestricted' refers to the capacity of the protocol to accept data of any type, nature, format, structure or context, in a manner that retains the binary unambiguous nature of the invention for each data item. A storage object so created may be easily read by dedicated software, as it is of simple definition and is durable in nature. Its generality removes the need for repeated updates and versions of the underlying protocol.
