Title: Leichtgängiger Umlenker für Mehrgangnaben
Inventor: BLASCHKE GEORG
IPC: B62M25/02
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen leichtgängigen Umlenker für Mehrgangnaben für Fahrräder
oder dergleichen. Ein zweiteiliges Kunststoffgehäuse umschließt die am Umlenken
der Schaltbewegung beteiligten Funktionsteile wie eine zentrale Welle, eine
Seilspule, zwei Kurvenscheiben, zwei Schwenkhebel und zwei in das Nabeninnere
reichende Übertragungselemente. Der Kern der Erfindung ist die Lagerung der zentralen
Welle zum einen mittels eines Wälzlagers in einem Gehäuseteil und zum anderen
auf einem Lagerzapfen im anderen Gehäuseteil. Die Laufbahnen des Wälzlagers
sind feste Bestandteile der Welle bzw. des entsprechenden Gehäuseteils. Die
Reduzierung der Lagerreibung erleichtert den Schaltvorgang wesentlich, hierdurch
ergibt sich zudem eine deutliche Minimierung der erforderlichen Rückstellfederkräfte.

Abstract: An orthopaedic method and anchor assemblies for anchoring a linkage such as a rod
or cable used for fixation or reduction. One assembly includes an anchor plate and a
slotted anchor bolt that captures the plate in a one-piece assembly for convenient
installation. The base of the anchor bolt lies below the plate, and a cap or nut tightens
down to secure a linking member, e.g., a rod or cable, in the slot, simultaneously clamping
the bolt to fix both its position and its orientation on the plate. One occipital plate has
lateral arms that hold the anchor bolts, and a Y-shaped embodiment is mounted in an
inverted orientation to position the anchor bolts well down in soft tissue for more effective
wound closure. A cable connector is used together with an anchor plate, vertebra anchor
screws and fixation rods to secure ends of a cable at the level of one or more vertebrae,
providing a versatile and highly stable system for alignment, fixation and fusing of the
cervical and thoracic spine. The cable connectors have an open-sided channel that fits onto
and securely clamps to an already-positioned fixation rod, with an eyelet or other structure
providing a rigid and fixed securing point for a cable that is threaded about the vertebrae
under tension. Methods of fixation are described.

Abstract: A system and method of recognizing speech comprises an audio receiving element
and a computer server. The audio receiving element and the computer server perform the
process steps of the method. The method involves training a stored set of phonemes by
converting them into n-dimensional space, where n is a relatively large number. Once the
stored phonemes are converted, they are transformed using single value decomposition to
conform the data generally into a hypersphere. The received phonemes from the audio-receiving
element are also converted into n-dimensional space and transformed using single
value decomposition to conform the data into a hypersphere. The method compares the
transformed received phoneme to each transformed stored phoneme by comparing a first
distance from a center of the hypersphere to a point associated with the transformed
received phoneme and a second distance from the center of the hypersphere to a point
associated with the respective transformed stored phoneme.

Abstract: A reticle stage (14) having a range of motion
sufficient to scan at least two distinct reticles (22, 24).
In a photolithographic process, a reticle stage (14) having
an extended range of motion and containing at least two
reticles (22, 24), preferably a phase shift reticle (22)
and a trim reticle (24), is used. The reticle stage (14)
scans the two reticles (22, 24) across an illumination
field (36). The image of each reticle is projected by
projection optics (18) onto a photosensitive substrate (28)
on a wafer stage (16). The field on the photosensitive
substrate (28) is exposed with the image of the first
reticle (22) and subsequently exposed with the image of the
second reticle (24). The projection of an image of a first
(22) and second (24) reticle onto the same field in a
scanning operation greatly facilitates throughput of the
photolithographic tool or device (10). Reticle changes are
eliminated when at least two reticles (22, 24) are needed
to expose a single field. The use of multiple reticles to 
expose a single field is necessary when a phase shift mask
(22) and related trim mask (24) are used. In another
embodiment, the reticle stage (14) has a range of motion
permitting scanning of an additional calibration reticle
(26). This permits rapid real time system calibration.

Abstract: In hardening with laser beam by irradiating laser
beam 29 on a workpiece 27, oscillating the laser beam
so as to heat a workpiece with a hardening width W1,
laser beam output in both end portions (times (1),
(5), (6), (10) of Fig.4, for instance) of amplitude
of the laser beam is made lower than one of a center
portion (times (3), (4), (7), (8) of Fig.4, for
instance) of the amplitude. Relative moving
velocity of the laser beam with respect to workpiece
is decreased, and the quantity of giving energy of
the laser beam in both end portions of the amplitude
where the density of giving energy of laser beam
is high is decreased so as to equalize quantity of
aiming energy in the whole hardening cycle. By
doing so, a proper hardening action is possible.

formed in the via hole and electrically connects the capacitor and the inductor. The
radio frequency signal lines are for the inductor and the capacitor. The radio
frequency ground is formed on the substrate and isolated from the radio frequency
signal lines. A reduction in the area required for mounting passive devices and
modules thereof contributes to the downsizing of communication systems. Also, use
of the MEMS technique can reduce insertion loss of inductors, which improves the
