Patent EP-0695824-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KASHIMA MITSUHIRO C O KABAYA K
IPC: F16F9/54
Filed: 1994-08-01
Abstract: This invention relates to an anti-vibration mechanism supporting a vibrating body in a frame by a spring and a damper (9), and may be applied for example to a drum-type washing machine provided with a wash tank (3) that rotates about a horizontal axis. The damper has connections with the vibrating body (3) and frame (1), and a mechanism which creates a certain amount of clearance in one of these connections is provided. Further provided is a mechanism for supporting the damper on the frame such that it maintains the damper in any existing rotation position, but allows the damper to rotate when a rotating force higher than a predetermined level is applied to the damper. In the case of a washing machine, for example, the amount of clothes changes or the weight changes during washing or pumping of water. Accordingly the damper contracts or elongates as well as rotating to support the drum accommodating the wash tank. On the other hand, as there is always a predetermined amount of clearance in one of the connections, transmission of low amplitude vibrations via the damper is completely insulated while high amplitude vibrations beyond the clearance is effectively attenuated by the damper.

Abstract: Materials containing iron oxide are reduced in a first expanded fluidised bed using solid carbon-containing reducing agents (reductants) under weakly reducing conditions at most to the FeO state. The gas/solid suspension discharged is treated in a second expanded fluidised bed with strongly reducing fluidising gas, with the material being partially reduced to metallic iron. The carbonised carbon-containing material is separated from the gas/solid suspension discharged and is recirculated to the first fluidised bed. A part of the strongly reducing gas is, after purification and removal of CO2, recirculated to the second fluidised bed as fluidising gas. A reduced material having a degree of metallisation of from 50 to 80% together with the remaining part of the carbonised carbon-containing material is discharged from the lower part of the second fluidised bed and is completely reduced and melted in a fusion reactor. The gas evolved from the melt is partially further burnt directly above the melt by blowing-on of oxygen-containing gases and the heat thus generated is largely transferred to the melt. A complete further combustion of the gas is carried out in a subsequent second further combustion (afterburning) process. The material discharged from the lower part of the second fluidised bed can be further reduced in a third fluidised bed to a degree of metallisation of up to 95%. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a radiation site detector which can detect a position of an incident scintillator with high precision by excluding the effect of Compton scattering. The radiation site detector is provided with a scintillator array having a plurality of scintillators into which a radiation is made incident, and a photodetector for converting scintillations occurring in the scintillators to independent photoelectric conversion signals to output them. A level of each of photoelectric conversion signals output from a specific scintillator to be judged whether the radiation has been incident thereinto, and from a plurality of scintillators around the specific scintillator, is compared with a plurality of threshold values different from one another so as to determine whether the levels are within or outside a window defined by the threshold values. Then, it is judged whether the above specific scintillator is a scintillator into which the radiation has been incident based on the characteristics of a signal pattern obtained in the above comparison.

Abstract: A circuit for conversion of an analog input signal to a digital representation (on 470) of the analog signal is typically employed in flash technology, since it is able to produce the digital representation of the analog signal faster and more efficiently than conventional flash converters. The circuit includes a plurality of resistors (402) serially coupled between two reference voltages (V REF , ground) to form a plurality of nodes (404) therebetween. A plurality of comparators (406), each having a first input coupled to one of the plurality of nodes and a second input coupled to the analog input signal, compares the analog input signal to a voltage potential at one of the nodes to generate first and second complementary output signals at the outputs of the comparators. The complementary outputs are then applied to a decode circuit (401) having a plurality of digital output lines (W,X,Y,Z) and switches (410-460) directly coupled to the digital output lines. The first and second complementary outputs switch the digital output lines to a first or second logic state in response to the first and second complementary output signals, thereby producing the digital representation of the analog input signal.

Title: Bandgap reference circuit
Inventor: SLEMMER WILLIAM CARL
IPC: G05F3/30
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: According to the present invention, a bandgap reference circuit which utilizes a minimum number of bipolar devices and current mirror scaling devices generates a bandgap reference voltage. The bandgap voltage generated by the bandgap reference circuit is a function of a plurality of sized current mirror devices, the ratio of a first resistor to a second resistor, and the number and relative sizing of bipolar junction transistors used. The bandgap reference circuit generates a bandgap reference voltage which is suitable for use in a variety of integrated circuit devices, such as a zero power static random access memory (SRAM). If used in a zero power SRAM application, the bandgap reference voltage may be utilized to determine when the primary power source of the zero power SRAM has fallen below a predetermined voltage level and a secondary power source must be substituted for the primary power source.

Abstract: A laser beam machining method capable of preventing the occurrence of a notch portion (burn-through) at a machining terminating point on a product even when a work is machined into a shape in which a machining starting point and machining terminating point agree with each other, and an apparatus used therefor. A boring and periphery machining operations are started with a boring operation at a point P, and a cutting operation is then carried out from the point P to a point Q. A periphery machining operation is started at the point Q, and this cutting operation is carried out along a path 40 up to a point R. At the point R, the machining conditions are changed, and the laser beam reaches a point S, at which the periphery machining operation is completed. In order to carry out this boring and periphery machining operations, a CNC (10) subtracts a very short distance ΔL1 between the points Q, S from a one-round machining path which starts at the point Q, to generate the machining path 40, which is then stored in a memory. This very short distance ΔL1 is set to such a level that permits the portion of the work which is on the inner side of the periphery thereof to be removed speedily at the time of completion of the periphery machining operation. Since the machining finishing point S is set by subtracting the very short distance ΔL1 from a one round machining path without having the starting and finishing points Q, S of the periphery machining operation agree with each other, the occurrence of a notch portion, which is encountered in a machining operation in which the starting and finishing points Q, S agree with each other, can be avoided.
