Patent EP-1184496-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI HIROO
IPC: D02J1/18
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for opening continuous filaments provide stable quality of fibrous layer after opening crimped TOW. The TOW is transported by means of a plurality of rolls. While transported, the TOW is applied a resistance on one side of the TOW by slidingly contacting a sliding body onto the TOW at between rolls. As a result, continuous filaments stacked in a thickness direction of the TOW are caused to sift in a transporting direction of the TOW. Thus, the TOW is opened and the continuous filaments are spread in a width direction of the TOW. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wireless communications system includes a first station
in wireless communications with a second station along at least
one channel. The first station initiates a local suspend
function for the channel, with a suspend point determined by
a first sequence number (SN). Prior to a resume command to
terminate the local suspend function, a reset procedure for
the channel is performed. In response to the reset procedure,
the first SN of the suspend point is set equal to a default
value. This halts communications along the channel while the
channel is locally suspended. The resume command for the channel
then terminates the local suspend function. Alternatively,
the suspend point is determined by a first hyper-frame
number/sequence number (HFN/SN) pair. After the reset procedure,
and prior to terminating the local suspend function, the first
station transmits along the channel to the second station no
layer 2 protocol data units (PDUs) having associated HFN/SN
pairs that are sequentially after the first HFN/SN pair.

Abstract: A hybrid aircraft having VTOL R-VTOL and S-STOL capabilities having a
lifting body hull (1) and four wing sections (20) arranged in tandem which are
pivotally moveable about their neutral axis. Each wing section has mounted thereon
a pivotal propeller-rotor (21) assembly for providing thrust substantially in a range
between horizontal and vertical. The wings and propellers are integrated to the hull
by an outrigger designed to be very stiff and to distribute forces from the wings and
propellers from the hull. The hull is shaped to provide aerodynamic lift in an
airstream and to facilitate construction by minimizing the number of panels of
differing curvature required. The hull is formed of a pressure tensioned frame
covered with semi-rigid panels, a lower cladding frame and bow and stem cladding
nose cones. The semi-rigid panels covering the frame are formed of gas-tight and
abrasion resistant laminate material and are connected to the frame by means of an
interface rib and latch system. The frame is formed of a plurality of curved elongate
segments arranged in series orthogonal to the long axis of the hull and connected by
means of torsion members. A turbo-electric drive system can be used to drive the
aircraft. An advanced hybrid aircraft is also described having about 8 to 12 high
speed fans in place of the propeller-rotors.

Abstract: An easy to use on-line guide provides the user of a multiple channel
television broadcast system with a wealth of programming information in a
simple format that is easy to understand. The guide enables the user to easily
select a particular program to watch. In particular, when the guide is presented
to the user, the guide covers only a portion of the actual television screen or
display. The remaining portion of the television screen continues to broadcast
the audio and video of the currently selected program. As a user scans through
the guide and moves the pointer from one station to another, the system
responds by automatically tuning to the channel pointed to by the pointer and
provides the audio and displays the video in the portion of the screen not
covered by the guide. Furthermore, a written description of the program
currently broadcasted on a station that the cursor currently points to is also
shown. In addition, the system provides an innovative mechanism to enable the
user to scan program information of channels that the user has designated as his
favorite channels. In another embodiment, a program list that is oriented
according to the program, instead of the channel, is presented.
