Patent EP-1516574-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NORTH JOHN HERBERT
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: A method of separating particles from particle laden air is described. The apparatus
employed is a multiple stage separator in which the first stage comprises a generally
cylindrical chamber (18) having a hollow central member (50) extending axially from one end
thereof with openings in its wall (53) remote from the said one end. The first separation step is
achieved by introducing air tangentially into the chamber (18) near its said one end, the
tangential entry in combination with an unapertured region of the wall (53) of the central
member establishing a rotating mass of air in the chamber, thereby causing heavier than air
particles to migrate to the outer regions of the chamber (18) under centrifugal force. Suction is
applied to the interior of the central member (42) to cause an axial movement of air through the
chamber before it can exit through the openings in the wall (53) of the central member. The
suction force is selected such that particles near the walls of the chamber tend to continue
in a generally rotational and axially progressive path into a particle collecting region (26) of the
chamber, while relatively particle-free air is drawn radially inwardly, as it progresses
axially, so as to exit to a second separation stage (40), through the openings in the central
member wall (53). A skirt (56) extends from the end of the central member beyond the region
containing the exit openings, to define a narrow annular gap between the skirt (56) and the wall (22)
of the chamber, so that particles in the collection region (26) are prevented from reaching the
exit openings (52). An annular flange (68) is provided around the central member (50) between the
unapertured and apertured regions of the wall thereof, so as to force the vortex of rotating
air within the chamber away from the central member as it progresses along the chamber (18).
Particles separated in a later separation stage (40) are conveyed to a particle collecting region (66)
via a passage extending through the central member (50) of the first stage, which may include a
valve which is closed during air flow, and is opened after air flow ceases to allow particles
collected upstream of the valve to pass into the particle collecting region.

device, and a mounting structure of the weight measuring
device. A weight sensor (206, 502) pushed by a lever
(306) is disposed on an outer bottom surface (104b) of a

Abstract: The method and apparatus are for providing a mobile station in a
telecommunication network with capability of activating a high speed packet data
session without having a suscription to a high speed packet data
service. They are also for a mobile station, subscribed to a high speed
packet data service, a higher data rate than the rate it is currently subscribing to. In very general terms the method
has the steps of: activating, by a non high speed packet data subscribing mobile
station, a high speed packet data service session with a mobile switching center that
is currently operatively connected to the non-subscribing mobile station; allocating,
by the mobile switching center, resources for the high speed packet data service
session with the non high speed packet data subscribing mobile station; de-allocating,
by the mobile switching center, after an end of the high speed packet data service
session, the resources for the high speed packet data service session with the non
high speed packet data subscribing mobile station; and sending, by the mobile
switching center, after an end of the high speed packet data service session, the high
speed packet data usage information to the charging system for billing. The method
may also have in addition the steps of selecting, by a high speed packet data subscribing mobile
station a higher data rate than the rate it is currently subscribing to for a high speed
packet data service session with the mobile switching center that is currently
operatively connected to the high speed packet data subscribing mobile station;
allocating, by the mobile switching center, resources for the higher data rate packet
data service session with the high speed packet data subscribing mobile station; de-allocating, 
by the mobile switching center, after an end of the high speed packet data
service session, the resources for the high speed packet data service session with the
high speed packet data subscribing mobile station; and sending, by the mobile
switching center, after an end of the high speed packet data service session, the high
speed packet data usage information to the charging system for billing.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an effective technique for making compact power tool having an electric motor (121). A representative power tool may include a tool bit (109), housing (103,105) and an electric motor. The electric motor is housed in the housing and drives the tool bit. The electric motor includes an output shaft (122), a commutator (137), an armature (133), brushes (145), brush holders (143), a brush holder base (141), a cooling fan (151) and a cooling-fan facing surface (141b). The cooling-fan facing surface is formed on the brush holder base. The cooling-fan facing surface faces the cooling fan and extends flat in the centrifugal direction to guide the discharged cooling air from the cooling fan in the centrifugal direction. Because the brush holder base not only secures the brush holder but also smoothly guides the cooling air by means of the cooling-fan facing surface, the size of the electric motor in the axial direction of the output shaft can be reduced.

Abstract: In a line pressure control apparatus of a belt-drive CVT, a shift is achieved by varying V-groove widths of primary and secondary pulleys by a differential pressure between primary and secondary pulley pressures, originating from line pressure. The differential pressure is created by bringing a shift actuator, such as a step motor, into a control position corresponding to a target transmission ratio. The target transmission ratio is calculated based on a theoretical transmission ratio based on engine-and-vehicle operating conditions, taking account of a hardware response delay and a disturbance. The target transmission ratio is converted into a reference-model operative position, corresponding to a reference-model number-of-steps of the shift actuator. An actual transmission ratio is converted into an actual-transmission-ratio related operative position. Line pressure is corrected in a manner so as to reduce the positional deviation between the reference-model operative position and the actual-transmission-ratio related operative position.

Abstract: The invention concerns an    acoustic device    (and its electric/electronic    circuits)    with    electro-acoustic transducers    and with a    cavity resonator    that provide extreme tri-dimensional characteristics (in order to control the main  harmonic frequencies  but also the  fundamental harmonic  in the  harmonic series )  to concentrate/diffuse infrasonic, sonic and ultrasonic waves . It also concerns many structural designs in which some models of    cavity resonators    and all their    transducers    are appropriately arranged and spatially aligned on the basis of the different uses; so doing it is possible to achieve  numerous interacting operational set-ups  (   basic configuration systems   ) that can be used  in the medical sector, in industry or in the home, in entertainment and leisure.   
     Differently to previously known techniques the    acoustic device    according to this patent is also a highly sophisticated    cybernetic apparatus    for the reproduction of  various   tri-dimensional sound fields  that are  identical  to the original ones, or for generating completely new ones. 
     This    acoustic device    can be compared to a  Helmholtz resonator  that  transmits   sound-waves/harmonic frequencies rather  than  receiving  them.
