Title: Electromagnetic display device
Inventor: FISCHER HELMUT
IPC: G09F9/37
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic display device, comprising a panel which consists of a number of substantially square pixels which are divided into two parts. Each pixel is provided with a rotatably-mounted, bistable tilting flap which is asymmetrical in relation to its rotational axis.  Said tilting flap covers one of the two portions of the panel surface in the pixel zone when the flap lies in each of its two stable positions. The side of the tilting flap facing the front side of the panel and the portion of the panel in the pixel zone which is covered by the tilting flap in this position has a first colour and the other side of the tilting flap and the other portion of the panel in the pixel zone has a second colour. A permanent magnet is fitted to the tilting flap in close proximity to the rotational axis. The tilting flap is displaced from a first position into a second position by an electromagnet which is located on the reverse side of the panel and is allocated to the pixels and which has a coil body and a core. The display device panel is connected to a base plate which faces the reverse side of said panel and has at least one opening in one section of each pixel. A pin which is located on the base plate is allocated to each opening and is directed towards said opening. The pin contains a recess on the side facing the panel, in which a light-emitting diode is inserted.

Patent CA-2364202-A1 (CA)
Title: Passe-fils
Inventor: MARTINEAU YVON
IPC: D03J3/02
Filed: 2001-12-05
Abstract: Dans tous les métiers à tisser domestiques, lors du montage des fils, plusieurs tâches incombent aux tisserands*, dont ce qui est normalement désigné comme le "passage en aiguil- les ou en lames". Usuellement une personne doit passer un crochet dans le "chas" de l'aiguille et de l'autre côté des cadres (qui soutiennent les aiguilles), accrocher le fil pour ensuite le ra- mener vers elle. C'est un travail très long qui peut durer des heures et qui, pour être plus rapide et efficace, exige la parti- cipation d'une autre personne, l'une en avant du métier, l'autre en arrière. I1 est évidemment possible pour une personne seule d'y arriver mais au prix de beaucoup d'efforts et de patience, si ce n'est de courbatures.  L'invention dont il est question ici et que j'ai nommé "passe-fils", a pour but de faciliter ce travail. En effet, le "passe-fils" est une sorte de support, placé en face des lames dans lequel sont taillées ou incisées perpendiculairement une trentaine de fentes qui serviront à maintenir en place autant de crochets, au fur et à mesure qu'ils seront passés dans le chas des aiguilles.    Le "passe-fils", d'environ 12 pouces de largeur, est lui-même maintenu en place sur une barre-guide horizontale et pa- rallèle aux cadres, grâce à une rainure située sous celui-ci.  Cette barre-guide permet le déplacement du "passe-fils" de gauche à droite ou vice versa, selon les besoins, à la manière d'un rail.  Avec l'aide de ce nouvel outil, le tisserand pourra passer jusqu'à 30 fils à la fois sans l'aide d'une autre personne puisque le "passe-fils" remplacera cette dernière.  En plus de rendre l'artisan autonome, un des avantage les plus importants c'est qu'avant même de tirer sur les crochets pour passer les fils, le fait de pouvoir visualiser leur position, permet de vérifier facilement le plan de montage choisi, ce qui peut faire sauver beaucoup de temps, parce que cela facilite la détection d'erreurs. Ajoutons qu'une boite de rangement est fixé au "passe-fils", pouvant contenir tous les crochets.

Title: Fuel cell system
Inventor: SUZUKI MOTOHIRO
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-01-22
Abstract: The present invention provides the fuel cell system, in which the decrease in the power generation and the degradation of the durability of the fuel cell can be prevented even if the temperature of fuel cell is low at starting or the ambient temperature is low. On the fuel cell starting electric power generation, the air supplied to the cathode inlet is humidified by the hollow fiber membrane humidifier and the hydrogen gas supplied to the anode inlet is humidified by another hollow fiber membrane humidifier. The cooling fluid of the cooling line, which absorbs the heat from the fuel cell and flows into the heat exchanger, heats the hollow fiber membrane humidifiers. Thus the humidification is promoted by heating the humidified air and hydrogen gas to raise their dew-point temperatures.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un guide d'onde otique intégré, ainsi que son procédé de fabrication, dans lequel une section permettant de modifier l'état de polarisation est formée en tant qu'unité rotative indépendante. La rotation s'effectue par le positionnement de la section indépendante sur un mécanisme d'actionnement, constitué d'un volet pourvu d'une feuille (4) sur le côté supérieur de laquelle est fixée ladite section. Le guide d'ondes intégré est constitué d'un substrat de silicium (7), ce qui permet au volet d'être librement mobile. Le côté inférieur du volet (6) forme une électrode coopérant avec une électrode en or formée sur un substrat en verre (8), ces électrodes constituant le parties mobiles du mécanisme d'actionnement. Lorsqu'on applique une tension entre ces électrodes, le guide d'ondes intégré va tourner autour de l'axe défini par la direction de propagation de la lumière. Dans un mode de réalisation, le guide d'ondes intégré possède plusieurs sections. L'invention porte sur un régulateur de polarisation, permettant de réguler les états de polarisations souhaités dans un guide d'ondes optique, tel qu'une fibre optique. L'invention concerne également un compensateur intégré s'utilisant pour une compensation de premier ordre de la dispersion de polarisation de mode (PMD) dans un système de multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde (WDM).
