IPC: B05B1/04
Filed: 2002-10-14
Abstract: An air assisted spray nozzle assembly (12), having particular utility in spraying liquid
coolants in continuous metal casting systems, is adapted for operation with substantially
reduced air consumption. The nozzle body includes a pre-atomizing head (20) that has a
relatively small sized pressurized air inlet (26), a liquid impingement post (38) with a uniquely
configured impingement face (58) for enhancing liquid breakdown and intermixing with a
pressurized air stream from the air inlet (26), and an expansion chamber (25) configured to
reduce eddy currents that detract from efficient pre-atomization of the liquid. The spray nozzle
further includes an elongated spray tip supporting barrel (21) adapted for releasable mounting
in the pre-atomizing head (20) in predetermined rotational orientation relative to its
longitudinal axis for properly receiving and supporting a removable spray tip (22).

Abstract: The application of an electric current to catalysts useful for the vapor phase
oxidation of hydrocarbons allows for processes for obtaining enhanced catalytic
processing of a given feed material with a given catalyst, processes allowing the ready
change-over from one product of a given feed stream to another product of that feed
stream without the need to change catalyst, and processes allowing the ready change over
from one feed stream to another feed stream with the concomitant change over from one
product to another product without the need to change catalyst.

Abstract: A device manufacturing method is provided for performing field-by-field multiple
exposure. In this way, each target portion (or field) of a substrate can be irradiated while
maintaining high overlay accuracy. Optionally, when each target portion is exposed in the
same manner, a high reproducibility of the feature sizes on the substrate can be secured.
Further, a mask table for holding a plurality of masks is provided, on which the masks are
arranged side-by-side in a direction substantially perpendicular to a scan direction. Such an
arrangement enables field-by-field multiple exposure without a throughput loss.

Abstract: An actuator mechanism is defined by a lever arm that is integrally connected to resilient spring members. The lever arm is movable between first and second positions and is normally biased into the first position in which the actuator may engage an adjacent member, for example to provide a fluid-tight sealing relationship of to lock the adjacent member in a stationary position relative to the lever arm. Movement of the lever arm into the second position releases the engagement with the adjacent member. In one embodiment the actuator is defined by a pair of overlapping, oppositely oriented slots cut into a monolithic member to define both the lever arm and the spring members. The lever arm rocks in a teeter-toter fashion when actuated and both ends of the lever arm can be utilized to perform work.

Abstract: An acoustic wave switch includes a substrate with an acoustic wave cavity formed therein such that the mass per unit area of the acoustic cavity is greater than the mass per unit area of the substrate adjacent the cavity. A transducer is mounted on the acoustic cavity for generating an acoustic wave that is substantially trapped in the cavity. A touch on the touch surface of the acoustic wave cavity absorbs acoustic wave energy and produces a detectable change in the impedance of the transducer. Various feedback mechanisms can be employed to provide a user with a tactile, audible and/or visual response indicating actuation of the switch by a touch.

Abstract: It is possible to produce a decoded image with a high image
quality from data of the lowermost hierarchy obtained during
hierarchical coding operation. An image of a first hierarchy equal to
an original image is successively thinned in thinning units (11) so that an
image of a second hierarchy and an image of a third hierarchy are
formed. Then, in an optimum correction data calculating unit (102), the
image of the second hierarchy is corrected, a prediction value of the
image of the first hierarchy is predicted from the resultant correction
data (101), and correction data of the image of the second hierarchy is
generated to reduce a prediction error of the prediction value lower
than a preselected threshold. In another optimum correction data
calculating unit, correction data of the image of the third hierarchy is
similarly obtained.

Abstract: The seat belt module is electronically controlled using magneto-rheological fluid.
A CPU delivers a signal to an electromagnetic coil within the module at the beginning of
a crash to cause the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid to increase sufficient to
lock the spool on which the seat belt is wound against rotation. Thereafter, a
subsequent signal is delivered by the CPU to the coil to reduce the magnetic field and
the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid allowing the spool to be unwound in a
programmed manner so as to reduce the forces imposed on an occupant by the seat
belt. The CPU may be pre-programmed in response to signals from sensors throughout
the vehicle that deliver signals corresponding to the characteristics of the occupant and
may be programmed in response to signals from these sensors and from an air bag to
respond in real time.
