Patent EP-0827705-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PILE BRIAN FRANK
IPC: A61G7/057
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: A mattress cover, for use on an air inflatable
mattress which reduces the risk of bed sores in long
term patients. The cover has a top sheet (31) and side
sheets (5) attached to opposite edges of the top sheet.
The length of the top sheet (3), in a laid-flat state,
is greater than the length of the side sheets (5)
attached to the top sheet. This allows the cover to
closely follow the undulating nature of the inflatable
cells of the mattress, and zero pressure may be
achieved. The cover may also comprise end sheets (25),
an outer skirt (9), and a base portion (7). The present
invention also provides a method of making cover, which
comprises the step of stretching the side portions,
while the top sheet is in a substantially unstretched
condition, and then joining the side sheets in their
stretched condition to the top sheet.

Title: Failure diagnostic apparatus
Inventor: IDA KOKI
IPC: G08B21/00
Filed: 1997-11-06
Abstract: When one of the failure detecting devices (1a-1z) disposed at some spots in an electronic appliance detects failure of the electronic appliance, the failure detecting device detecting the failure generates a certain voltage. From the voltage, a certain specific voltage of good stability is generated (8a) as a first information indicating the occurrence of a failure in electronic appliance, and a second information is generated (8b) indicating place of failure. A means is provided for generating voltage, or data, which contains the elements of both first and second informations. Based on the voltage, or data, generated from the means, a place of failure is specified and displayed.

Abstract: The supporting plate (1) for a vehicle brake pad (2) has an anti-noise or anti-vibration plate (3) attached to its surface opposite the brake pad by a system which prevents any relative movement of the anti-noise plate relative to the supporting plate and parallel to its surface when the adhesive between the two softens at high temperature. The fixing attaching the anti-noise plate to the supporting plate consists of a rectangular boss (4) on the supporting plate which is thick enough to pass through a matching hole (5) in the anti-noise plate. The boss can be solid in form, produced by stamping a recess in the opposite side of the supporting plate, or made, in a variant, in the shape of two symmetrical cylindrical projections. The boss projects by between 0.4 and 1.5 mm through the anti-noise plate.

Abstract: A multichamber container must have certain characteristics in order to uniformly dispense the contents of each chamber from the container. The outer wall of the container and the inner divider web walls must have certain characteristics. The inner divider web walls must be highly flexible while the outer container wall must be less flexible. The Deflective Force for the outer wall must be greater than the Deflective Force for the web walls. In addition, to alleviate the problem of suckback of air into the container chambers, the outer wall should exhibit a specific Retention Index. This is a measure of the outer wall to remain deflected after the removal of the deflecting force. The inner divider web wall will have a lower Retention Index than the outer wall. By the proper selection of outer wall and web walls, there can be uniform dispensing from the dispenser.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of optical transmission and
particularly to a method and a system for controlling optical amplification in
wavelength division multiplex optical transmission. 
     WDM systems currently under development will have eighty or more channels, i. e.
modulated optical signals with different wavelengths (known as Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing, DWDM). These DWDM systems are demanding optical
amplifiers which, especially considering the cascadation of a plurality of optical
amplifiers along the transmission path of the DWDM system, have only very limited
tolerances in certain parameters. Among these parameters gain flatness and gain tilt
are of special importance. 
     The present invention discloses a method and a system which make use of auxiliary
optical signals having a given power level which is equal for all auxiliary signals.
Differences in the power levels of the auxiliary signals after optical amplification are
used for the control of the optical amplifiers of the WDM system.
