Patent EP-1168015-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DEMANGONE DREW A
IPC: G02B6/40
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: A ferrule (10) for an optical fiber (42, 43) comprises a
cover (16) and a base (14). The base (14) and the cover (16)
include a pair of complementary-profile mating surfaces (18,
26). At least one of the mating surfaces (18, 26) has a
trough (38, 40) that receives an optical fiber (42, 43). The
complementary-profile mating surfaces (18, 26) each have
geometric features that substantially align the cover (16) in
relation to the base (14) in both the lateral and the
longitudinal directions. The base-to-cover alignment is
performed on a passive basis by placing the cover (16) on the
base (14) in a manner that causes the noted geometric
features on the cover (16) to engage corresponding geometric
features on the base (14).

Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: When it has been judged that an oil temperature has reached a
predetermined temperature at a certain step (S5), a specified
amount of food is put in an oil vessel (3). A switch (1) is
pressed at a subsequent step (S7). Then, at a further step
(S8), a cooking timer (5) starts in accordance with a preset
time, and at the same time, the counting of an actually
elapsed time starts. At this time, the count of the cooking
timer (5) is displayed on a display portion (18) of an
operating panel (16), and the count of the actually elapsed
time is displayed adjacently together. When it is judged at a
later step (S9) that the time of the cooking timer (5) is up,
the counting of the actually elapsed time stops, and the
stopped count is displayed on the display portion (18) at the
next step (S10). In this way, the actually elapsed time can
simply and precisely be counted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wiper blade that can secure an proper error
angle, wherein the wiper blade 2 is comprised of a blade rubber 3 and a
resilient member 4 composed of a plate spring to which a twisting feature is
applied. A posture-correcting portion is secured by applying a twisting feature
to the resilient member so that its full length can be curved in a spiral direction.

Abstract: A dual mode drum brake device of this invention is
subject to lightning and low-cost without over braking
during the parking brake operation. Pistons 10, 11 in a
cylinder device 9 push and rotate brake shoes 2, 3 to be
separated apart around an abutment point with an anchor 8
during the service brake operation, thereby functioning
as a leading trailing brake. An operation force W of the
parking brake rotates a lever 14 in a counterclockwise
direction around a pin 13, one end of the lever 14
rotates the brake shoe 3 outwardly around a protuberance
12a via the pin 13, and the other end of the lever 1
rotates the lever 12 in a clockwise direction via a strut
15 around the protuberance 12a to rotate the brake shoe 2
outwardly around the abutment point with the anchor 8 via
the protuberance 12a. The brake shoe 2 or 3 positioned
at a side adjacent to the rotational direction of a drum
is trailed by the drum, transmitting the drum rotational
force to the remaining brake shoe 3 or 2 via the pistons
10, 11, and ultimately being received by the anchor 8,
thereby functioning as a duo servo type brake. Members
transmitting the rotational force between the brake shoes
2, 3 are the pistons 10, 11, which increases a distance Y
between the members and the drum center and enables to
maintain a smallest required braking force.

Abstract: Disclosed are a pressure heating method and a pressure
heating apparatus (1) which can prevent deformation of articles or
deterioration of the quality of the articles due to supply of
excessive pressure and heat. After performing pressurizing
and heating processing of articles by supplying steam to a
pressure vessel (2), the supply of steam is stopped and air is
supplied to the pressure vessel to keep the internal pressure
of the pressure vessel within the range not exceeding the
maximum value of the internal pressure at the time of
pressurizing and heating. A cooling water spray device (46,47) on a
circulation pipe is operated along with a turbo blower (11) so as
to condense it for gradual removal. After completing the
removal of the steam, the articles are cooled by the operation
of the cooling water jet unit (24,25,23). By avoiding an abrupt decrease
in the pressure inside the pressure vessel through preventing
an instant condensation of the whole steam, an excessive
pre-load becomes unnecessary at the final stage of sterilization.

Abstract: An interference avoiding device capable of determining occurrence of
an interference in a robot (5) operation in advance and automatically avoiding the
interference, to be suitably applied to an automatic picking-up operation of
randomly stored workpieces (10). A position/orientation of a workpiece and a
position/orientation of a tool for getting hold of the workpiece in a teaching
operation, and shapes/dimensions of the tool and the storage box (4) are
determined and stored in a storage device. A command position/orientation
Ta of the tool for getting hold of an objective workpiece is determined based
on a detected position/orientation Wa of the workpiece and it is determined
whether or not an interference between the tool an the storage box will occur
based on the position/orientation Ta and the stored information. If it is
determined that an interference will occur, a rotational phase or an inclination
angle of the tool with respect to the workpiece is changed within an allowable
range of the position/orientation of the tool with respect to the workpiece, to
obtain a new position/orientation of the tool. If it is determined that an
interference will not occur under the new condition of the position/orientation
of the tool, the new position/orientation is adopted. If an interference is still
determined to occur, an alarm is issued and the operation of the robot is
stopped.
