Patent EP-0840120-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KATAFUCHI TADASHI
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 1997-10-09
Abstract: A neutralization testing apparatus and a neutralization testing method which allow a neutralization reaction rate of a liquid sample such as lubricant oil to be accurately measured are provided. Reagent injecting means for injecting a reagent which neutralizes the liquid sample is provided on a lid member which composes a closed container into which the liquid sample is charged. The reagent injecting means comprises an acid injecting port which penetrates through the closed container and an air-tight sealing member which closes the acid injecting port and which permits an injector needle for injecting the reagent to penetrate therethrough. Because no gas leakage occurs even when the injector needle is penetrated because of the elasticity of the air-tight sealing member, the measuring conditions within the closed container do not change and the neutralization reaction rate may be found accurately.

Abstract: A solenoid valve driving device includes a bypassing
current path of which one end is connected to a point between
a first switching device (4) and a first solenoid valve (3) and
another end is connected to a point between a second switching
device (6) and a second solenoid valve (5), and an element (10)
disposed in the bypassing current path and having a
characteristic that causes current to flow from the first
switching device side to a second switching device
side. By adopting the above described constitution, through
current generated when the first switching device (4) is
switched from an OFF-state to an ON-state during duty control
of the first switching device (4) can be suppressed by the
inductance of the second solenoid valve (5). In this way, one
solenoid valve (5) among a pair of the first and second
solenoid valves (3, 5), which is not operated, has a function
of suppressing the through current.

Abstract: The invention provides a hybrid laminate and skin panels of hybrid laminate structure that are suitable for a supersonic civilian aircraft. The hybrid laminates include layups of layers of titanium alloy foil and composite plies, that are optimally oriented to counteract forces encountered in use, that are bonded to a central core structure, such as titanium alloy honeycomb. The reinforcing fibers of the composite plies are selected from carbon and boron, and the fibers are continuous and parallel oriented within each ply. However, some plies may be oriented at angles to other plies. Nevertheless, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a substantial majority of or all of, the fibers of the hybrid laminates are oriented in a common direction. The outer surfaces of the laminates include a layer of titanium foil to protect the underlying composite-containing structure from the environment, and attack by solvents, and the like.

Abstract: An extremely high-speed, very stable system and a method for concurrent computing between heterogeneous simulators are shown, in which heterogeneous simulators for analyzing a complicated physical phenomenon are coupled based on a coupled equation thereby to obviate the disadvantages of the conventional noncoupled and coupled methods. A numerical calculation unit (3) includes a calculation control unit (7) equipped with an agent function having a heterogeneous coupling variational equation calculation unit (8), a convergence decision unit (9) and a search vector setting unit (10). A parameter and a variable are supplied from the heterogeneous coupling variational equation calculation unit (8) into and out of a simulator A, a simulator B and a heterogeneous coupled equation thereby to form the heterogeneous coupling variational equation 1 and thus to determine a globally consistent solution. With this configuration, a globally consistent solution can be obtained automatically simply by setting a heterogeneous coupled equation, and therefore the analysis and design efforts of an operator can be very effectively supported in analyzing complicated physical phenomena in all the fields of advanced science and technologies.

Abstract: An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test cell has an
electromagnetically screening enclosure which is
rectangular in cross-section with a length and first and
second pairs of opposed side walls. A first antenna
array comprises a first array of conductors extending
lengthwise in the enclosure distributed at positions
between the first pair of side walls to produce, when
energised in TEM-mode, an electric field in a first test
region of the enclosure which is predominantly polarised
in a direction parallel to the first pair of side walls.
Second and third antenna arrays comprising respective
second and third arrays of conductors extend lengthwise
in the enclosure on opposite sides of the first test
region. The conductors of each of the second and third
arrays are distributed at positions between the second
pair of side walls to produce, when energised in
balanced TEM-mode, an electric field in a second test
region between the second and third arrays which is
predominantly polarised in a direction parallel to the
second pair of side walls. Feeds connect to a feed end
of the conductors of each array to energise the arrays,
and impedance matched termination of the conductors of
the arrays is provided. The resulting test cell can be
energised either vertically or horizontally and provides
a relatively large area of relatively uniform field.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un cintre porte-vêtement en plastique moulé, tel qu'on en utilise communément pour l'expédition et la présentation de vêtements. Ce cintre comprend un crochet central en plastique en une seule pièce et des branches s'étendant dans des directions opposées à partir de la base du crochet central, pour faciliter la suspension d'un vêtement à ce crochet par des pinces à vêtements. Ces pinces à vêtements permettent de suspendre divers types de vêtements audit cintre, tels que des sous-vêtements, des jupons, des soutiens-gorge, des maillots de bain, des vêtements à plusieurs pièces, et autres. Ce cintre porte-vêtement possède une pince de retenue de vêtement améliorée, grâce à laquelle on peut introduire un vêtement dans la pince de retenue de vêtement dont le passage de réception du vêtement s'ouvre d'abord pour permettre au vêtement d'entrer et se referme ensuite pour retenir en toute sécurité le vêtement et l'empêcher de se déloger accidentellement. Ce cintre porte-vêtement comporte également une pince de retenue améliorée pour slips féminins ayant une inclinaison vers l'intérieur définie par un passage récepteur de la pince de retenue pour slips. Si l'on introduit la bande de ceinture de slip entièrement dans la pince de retenue pour slips, cette bande se déplace radialement vers l'intérieur en direction du centre du porte-vêtement, ce qui signifie qu'après introduction complète de ladite bande dans la pince de retenue pour slip, cette bande se ressère à chaque extrémité du cintre. Ainsi, la bande de ceinture du slip doit être étirée à chaque extrémité du porte-vêtement pour que l'on puisse retirer le slip de la pince de retenue, rendant ainsi virtuellement impossible tout retrait accidentel du vêtement de la pince.
