Abstract: A multimedia data storage system including a compartmentalised drawer (20) which can be tailored to accommodate the differing cooling requirements of different device types thus allowing each device type to be mounted in any device position. A cover (20) in the form of a frame having a plurality of openings (42) fits onto the front of the drawer. A first device type includes a front bezel (22) which fills one opening in the cover and is cooled by air passing through a number of holes located along the length of the lower surface of the frame. A second device type (12) is cooled by air passing through a louvred panel (46) located in one opening in the cover. The panel includes a blanking member (62) which blocks off the frame cooling holes located in front of the second device type. Thus, for this device type, there is no air flow through the cooling holes. In addition, noise coming through the holes from inside the drawer is reduced.

Abstract: Roofing of the type comprising a number of adjoining roofing units (1) and joining means (7) for joining the roofing units. Each roofing unit (1) comprises a layer of insulating material (2) the upper edge zone (3) of which has a depression on at least a portion of its length and/or width. At least one roofing material has been applied, optionally glued, on top of the layer of insulating material (2), said roofing material preferably being formed of at least one layer, such as roofing felt. The depth f of the depression of each edge zone (3) is in the range t ≦ f ≦ 4 t, t being the thickness of the layer of roofing material. As a result, the joints between the roofing units are very tight and almost invisible and improved drainage makes the roofing less susceptible to the effects of the weather.

Abstract: Optical isolators suppress the retroreflection of light. According to the invention, light coming from a first optical fibre (2) is transmitted on a substrate (1) into a second optical fibre (3) at an acute angle in the region of an optical filter. The first (2) and the second (3) optical fibres do not touch one another. Present in the latter is a quarter-wave plate (7). The light in the first optical fibre (2) is electrically linearly polarised in a plane that is coplanar with the surface of the substrate (1). Since light of this direction of polarisation is very much less attenuated upon passage between the optical fibres (2, 3) than is light which is electrically polarised perpendicular to the surface, the light retroreflected after passing through the quarter-wave plate (7), which light has precisely this direction of polarisation, is almost completely suppressed in the first optical fibre (2). The optical isolator can also be used in an interferometer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to increase the dielectric strength of an encapsulated, gas-filled relay with respect to that which can be achieved using a relay having the same dimensions and whose interior is filled with dry air or an inert gas, the relay interior is filled with a filling gas at normal pressure, which filling gas contains at least one electrically negative gas. The housing consists of plastic. The plastic encapsulation is of sealed design and is matched to the filling gas such that the electrically negative gas is prevented sufficiently well from diffusing away. In consequence, the required dielectric strength does not fall below a specified value during the life of the relay.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording and reproducing a tape-shaped recording medium, which is capable of minimizing the effect of adsorbed water present at the interface between the tape and a sliding member and hence enables the tape to travel stably without sticking to the sliding member even under conditions close to moisture condensational conditions. An aluminum alloy is employed as a material for a sliding member such as a fixed drum, stationary tape guides, etc. on which a video tape slides, and a large number of projections are formed on the surface of the sliding member. A material of high water repellency is formed on the surface of the sliding member for the purpose of minimizing the effect of contact portions formed by the video tape and the projections of the sliding member and the effect of bonded portions of adsorbed water produced around the contact portions (at the interface). More specifically, the surface of the sliding member is formed with an electrolessly plated nickel film containing polytetrafluoroethylene particles.

Abstract: A drive method for an ink ejection device that cancels residual pressure fluctuations using a signal drive power source, wherein at time (b) a positive voltage V from a single power source is applied to an ink chamber 4bl and other ink chambers 4 are connected to ground. Therefore, the volume of ink chamber 4b1 increases from a natural volume. At time (c), voltage V applied to the ink chamber 4bl is stopped and a positive voltage V from the single power source is applied to the other ink chambers 4 so that the volume in the ink chamber 4bl is reduced from the increased volume to an extent beyond the natural volume that causes an ink droplet to be ejected from the nozzle 12 of ink chamber 4b1. At timing (d), application of positive voltage V to the ink chambers 4c0, 4a1, 4cl, 4a2, 4b2, and 4c2 is stopped so that all the ink chambers revert to the natural volume.

Abstract: An actuator for a ram-type blowout preventer used either with a shear ram blowout preventer or a pipe ram blowout preventer. The actuator includes a pressure-responsive cylinder having an operating piston disposed therewithin. The piston includes a shaft for transmitting relative motion to the ram in the blowout preventer. A reversible annular member is disposed around the periphery of the piston to provide a variable pressure force in a shear ram blowout preventer and to limit the stroke of the piston in a pipe ram blowout preventer. The annular member includes a pair of annular flanges extending radially inward to form a channel therebetween. The channel receives the periphery of the piston which is moveable within the channel between the flanges. In a shear ram blowout preventer, the annular member increases the annular pressure area of the piston during the shearing stroke to increase the pressure force on the rams and their seals during the shearing of the pipe. After the pipe has been sheared, the annular member bottoms on the end of the cylinder allowing the piston to continue to travel in the channel such that the reduced annular pressure area of the piston reduces the pressure force on the rams and their seals during the sealing stroke to seal the bore after the pipe has been sheared. The reversible annular member is reversed on the piston in a pipe ram blowout preventer. In the reverse position, the annular member increases the annular pressure area during the sealing stroke until the annular member bottoms on the end of the cylinder. The piston is then allowed to continue to travel a short distance within the channel until the piston engages the other annular flange of the annular member thereby reducing the stroke of the piston. In the shear ram blowout preventer, the piston is allowed to engage the bottom of the cylinder for a full stroke equal to the axial length of the cylinder while the piston bottoms out on the annular flange of the annular member in a pipe ram blowout preventer to reduce the stroke of the operating piston within the cylinder.
