Patent EP-0872666-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NIIMI TSUTOMU
IPC: F16H59/02
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: A shift lever (SLP) has a spherical lower portion (14) about
which the shift lever pivots in a holding case (12). The holding
case is exposed to an atmosphere filled with smell of oil. An
outer sleeve (32) is axially movably disposed about the shift lever
above the spherical lower portion (14). The outer sleeve (32) has a
radial projection (34) which is brought into abutment with a reverse
gate (30) when the shift lever is pushed toward a reverse
position with the outer sleeve (32) assuming its lower position. While,
when the shift lever is pushed toward the reverse position
with the outer sleeve assuming its upper position, such abutment
does not occur thereby permitting further pivoting of the shift
lever to the reverse position. An inner boot (36) extends
between a lower end of the outer sleeve (32) and an upper part of the
spherical lower portion, and an outer boot (62) extends between an
upper end of the outer sleeve to the holding case. The outer
boot, the outer sleeve and the inner boot thus constitute part of a
smell shutting structure against the atmosphere filled with smell
of oil.

Abstract: An electromagnetic safety relay (90) comprising a coil (10) wound
about a core, a metal frame (20), a movable armature (30) secured
to the frame (20) and used to operate an assembly of contact
carrier strips (50) consisting of fixed strips (5F) and mobile
strips (5M), an actuator (40) guiding the movement of the strips
(50), and a return spring (80) positioned below the frame (20)
such that the system of active forces (given by the movable
armature (30)) and of reactive forces (given by the return spring
(80)) is asymmetric, ie is applied on the same side of the
actuator (40). This constructional arrangement enables the fixed
contact carrier strips (5F) to be given sufficient rigidity and
enables a single compact and robust actuator model (40) to be used
for the various configurations of the electrical contacts (70) of
the relay (90). Moreover, differential malfunctions between the
two sides of the assembly of electrical contacts (70) are
prevented and it becomes possible to determine and indicate
anomalies in the case of breakage of the actuator (40) with the
relay (90) energized.

an economy mode by acting on the print density and makes it
possible to automatically determine the optimum print density
according to the normal mode with serious consideration given to
the print quality and the economy mode with serious consideration
given to operating costs, thereby decreasing the print consumables.
The print mechanism section 1 is controlled by a print controlling

the print density in economy mode according to the normal/economy
instructions and controls the print density of said print mechanism
section 1 to the selected print density.

Abstract: A retainer 30 of an electrical connector has first and
second stopping protrusions 37,38 protruding from the
anterior edges of a pair of bendable members 35 and 36
located on the sides thereof. A third stopping protrusion
39 also protrudes from a location below the second stopping
protrusion 38. When a retainer 30 is pushed into a final
position in a retainer insertion hole 14, the first stopping
protrusion 37 and the third stopping protrusion 39 are
engaged by a pair of receiving members 18 and 19 located in
the retainer insertion hole 14. In this manner the retainer
30 is maintained against removal even if tipped at an angle
or subjected to an oblique force. Similar effects apply
when the retainer is in a temporary position.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil servant à recevoir et à traiter des signaux à spectre étalé en séquence directe (DSSS) à accès multiple par répartition de codes (CDMA) en mode rafales. Dans cet appareil et ce procédé, un certain nombre de démodulateurs sont disposés dans un ordre énuméré établi. Chaque démodulateur est soit prêt, ce qui signifie qu'il est libre de traiter les signaux, soit occupé, ce qui signifie qu'il est en train de traiter un signal. Les démodulateurs prêts reçoivent chacun un signal FI d'entrée et tentent de détecter un préambule dans le signal FI. Une fois qu'ils ont détectés ce préambule, chacun des démodulateurs prêts envoie ensuite un signal de demande à un arbitre. En réponse à un signal de demande reçu, l'arbitre envoie un signal d'attribution au premier démodulateur prêt dans l'ordre énuméré. Le signal d'attribution traverse chaque démodulateur occupé qui se trouve plus haut dans l'ordre énuméré que le premier démodulateur prêt. Le premier démodulateur prêt commence ensuite à traiter le signal et passe alors du groupe des démodulateurs prêts au groupe des démodulateurs occupés. Les démodulateurs prêts restants continuent ensuite à traiter les signaux arrivant. Lorsqu'un démodulateur occupé finit de traiter un signal, il est remis dans le groupe des démodulateurs prêts.

Abstract: A cryogenic coupler includes a socket (10) and a plug (11) that can be
detachably inserted into the socket. The socket and the plug have
passages (10a) for passing a cryogenic medium therethrough, and are provided
with valves (10b,11b) for blocking the respective passages when the plug is
disconnected from the socket. A seal assembly is arranged between
opposite end surfaces of the socket and the plug. The seal assembly
has a resilience characteristic that is substantially uninfluenced by the
cryogenic temperature, and thus prevents leakage of the cryogenic
medium to outside, when passages in the socket and the plug are
connected to each other. The coupler allows a facilitated connection
and disconnection of the passages, even under a low temperature
condition.
