Abstract: The present invention is a slip ring assembly (10) for an automotive alternator, or other appropriate rotary electric machine, which includes at least one slip ring (12,13), a plastic body (14) mounting the slip ring, at least one electrical terminal (16,18) connected to the slip ring and supported by the body and at least one reinforcement ring (20). The reinforcement ring (20) is operatively disposed on the plastic body (14) and operatively adapted so as to strengthen the slip ring assembly (10) against catastrophic failure resulting from loads applied to the slip ring assembly while it is under severe operating conditions. By employing such a reinforcement ring, the present slip ring assembly can be produced inexpensively with plastic bodies made from polyester and like plastics and yet still be able to withstand operating loads applied under high rotational speeds, elevated temperatures and other adverse conditions.

Abstract: A battery which can reduce the manufacturing steps, reduce the waste of material, and prevent a short during the winding process, and a manufacturing method of the winding assembly of the above battery, are disclosed. A metal sheet having an expanded metal and an electrode lead, which is integrally formed with the expanded metal is provided. A reactive material which reacts with an electrolyte to generate current, is applied to recesses of two mold blocks. Then, a first electrode section is formed by positioning the metal sheet between the mold blocks, pressure-molding the metal sheet, and applying the reactive material to the expanded metal. A stacked structure obtained by interposing a separator, which is a thin metal plate having a same size as the expanded metal, between the first electrode section and a second electrode section. The structure is then wound outwards to obtain a winding assembly. The quantity of raw material, the number of components of the battery, and the number of manufacturing steps are all reduced. Further, a short in the winding assembly during the winding step is prevented.

Abstract: A refractory compound coating (188) for electrodes is sputter resistant, has a low work function so that it is a good emitter of secondary electrons, is very resistant to oxidation, and is easy to apply by way of electrophoresis. More specifically, cathode electrodes (162) are used in a plasma addressing structure (10). The coating is preferably formed by electrophoretic deposition of particles (184) of at least one refractory compound along with a frit. The coating is subsequently baked to fuse the frit and bond the electrophoretically deposited particles to the electrodes.

Abstract: In a PCI-interface device (20), the present invention autonomously outputs video data (440) from data packets (426) including a header portion (428) and a video data portion (430). The invention receives the data packets (440) in a data packet transfer device (20), and associates an address with a plurality of address fields (428, 418) within the data packets (426). Decoding of the header portion (428) and an address segment within the video data portion occurs to determine whether the header portion (428) comprises a vertical synch signal (407). Also, the address segment of the video data portion is decoded to determine whether the video data portion comprises a horizontal synch signal (409). The invention separates the header portion from the video data portion and then flows the video data portion (430) into a zoom port.

Abstract: A support jig for thin circular objects comprises two round rods, in each of which depressions, each having a substantially V-shaped cross section, are formed along the circumference of the round rod and perpendicularly to the center axis of the round rod and arranged along the center axis of the round rod. Thin circular objects are inserted into respective depressions formed in the round rods, so that the thin circular objects are supported by the support jig. A cut is formed in each of a plurality of side wall portions which define depressions such that the cut is symmetrical with respect to the perpendicular which connects the center of each of the supported thin circular objects and the center axis of each of the round bars. The support jig can stably retain thin circular objects, particularly wafers, upright so that their upper portions do not vibrate, and can reduce the areas subjected to surface tension.

preventing foreign matter from entering to an air blower (8), and at least one air-direction
control vane (3) disposed upstream and/or downstream of the fan guard (19).

edge of the upstream air-direction control vane (3) or the front edge of the downstream
air-direction control vane (3). Alternatively, elements (10) in a given range are formed

the fan guard and the air-direction control vanes as the size of air-conditioners is
progressively reduced, air-turbulence noise may be reduced.

Abstract: Un numéro de sous-système et un code de point (PC/SSN) représentant un premier noeud de couche d'application au sein d'un réseau à système de signalisation N°7 (SS7) n'est pas défini au sein d'un second réseau SS7. Tout en émettant un premier signal du premier noeud vers un second noeud au sein du second réseau SS7, on utilise le PC/SSN représentant le premier noeud en tant qu'adresse d'appelant (Cgpa). Un point de transfert sémaphore (STP) faisant office de convertisseur et reliant le premier réseau SS7 au second réseau SS7 intercepte le signal émis et convertit le PC/SSN spécifié en un numéro d'appellation globale correspondant. Le premier signal contenant le Cgpa converti est alors transféré vers le second noeud. Lorsque le second noeud du second réseau SS7 réémet un signal de retour à destination du premier noeud, on utilise le Cgpa converti en tant qu'adresse d'appelé (Cdpa). Le STP convertisseur intercepte à nouveau l'adresse de retour et convertit à nouveau le numéro d'appellation globale intercepté dans sa valeur PC/SSN d'origine. Le signal de retour associé au Cdpa converti est alors ré-acheminé vers le premier noeud.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system, communication credits are stored in a secure module (30) of a mobile communication appliance (10). Credits are reloaded over-the-air (OTA) from a reload server (20). For requesting a reload, the secure module (30) generates an authenticated reload request message (50), which is transmitted to the reload server (20). In response to receiving the reload request message (50), the reload server (20) informs the secure module (30) of how many credits have been granted in the form of an authenticated reload grant message (60). Successive messages are made to differ by using different transaction numbers. A received authenticated message is only accepted if a transaction number in the message matches a local transaction number.
