Patent EP-1182379-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUKAWA YUKIHIRO
IPC: F16H57/12
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: This dividing head divides a worm (22, 62) into a hollow worm body
(16, 64) having multiple lead type worm teeth and a drive shaft (18) fitted
into the worm body and couples the worm body and the drive shaft by
frictional engagement by pressing the worm body and the drive shaft with
the annular portion of an assembler (20, 68). By this, in a state that the
drive shaft (18) and the worm body (16, 64) are uncoupled by the assembler
(20, 68), the worm body is moved axially while rotating relative to the drive
shaft, thereby adjusting a backlash between the worm wheel and the
worm.

Abstract: In a radio communication method whereby adaptive modulation is performed, a method is used whereby pilot symbol signal points are arranged in the in-phase-quadrature plane (IQ plane) so that the reception sensitivity of a receiving apparatus is made optimal in the respective modulation methods while maintaining the average transmission output power of the transmitting apparatus at a fixed level. By this means, it is possible to arrange pilot symbol signal points and improve the reception sensitivity characteristics of a receiving apparatus while maintaining the average transmission output power of the transmitting apparatus at a fixed level.

Abstract: An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof. A boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the respective reference pixel values with the average value, detects a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the detected boundary. An adaptive predictor calculates a prediction value by performing a calculation based on a function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the reference pixels. A prediction difference calculating unit determines a difference value between the prediction value and a value of the target encoding pixel. A prediction coincidence determining unit compares the prediction value and the target encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a binary signal. A context generator generates a context based on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the prediction difference calculating unit. An arithmetic encoder encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.

Abstract: A fluid pump dispenser (10) of the loss motion piston type provides for
maintaining the discharge ports (33) open a slight interval at the commencement of
each plunger upstroke while the pump chamber (21) expands to retract product from
the discharge passage (13) into the chamber to thereby avoid the formation of
product droplets at the exit end of the discharge spout (12). Such is effected in
accordance with one embodiment by reducing the friction force acting between the
piston (18) and the pump cylinder (16) relative to the friction force acting between the
piston (18) and the stem (11). In another embodiment an inlet valve assembly has a
portion lying in the path of the piston which portion is connected by spring legs to a
valve portion such that the restoring force of the spring legs shifts the piston together
with the stem at the commencement of the plunger upstroke which maintains the
discharge passage in open communication with the chamber.

Abstract: A laser welding nozzle used as a working tool, a linear
movement mechanism of a pressing device, and a servomotor are
fixed to a bracket. A roller support frame is fixed on a moving
side of the linear movement mechanism. A roller is pivotally
mounted at a distal end of the roller support frame. The roller
is located in the vicinity of a weld point of the laser welding
nozzle. By driving the servomotor in a controlled manner,
a portion in the vicinity of the weld point of a plate portion
to be welded is pressed by the roller to restrain a floating

is regulated, and thus uniform weld can be obtained. The
pressing position, speed, and pressing force of roller can
be controlled easily, so that the pressing device can be used
for various types of workpieces.
