Patent EP-1098116-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FUJIWARA MASARU
IPC: F16J15/22
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: An expanded graphite knitting yarn (1) according to the
present invention is covered or bound and covered with a
reinforcing material (3) made of a braided body such as stainless
steel line members, before an outer periphery of an expanded
graphite tape (2) having a predetermined width, which has been
subjected to a twisting process, is braided. Therefore, an
amount of the expanded graphite particles exfoliated from ends
of the expanded graphite tape (2) in the twisting process can be
extremely reduced. Moreover, this can prevent the expanded
graphite particles from being exfoliated from the end of the
expanded graphite tape (4) in a braiding process. Furthermore, the
plural expanded graphite knitting yarns are put together and
subjected to either braiding or twisting process, thereby
forming a gland packing. This can enhance a sealing property
and a pressure resistance property of the gland packing.

Abstract: Slush (12) is made from a liquid (14) using slush making systems (10) or according to
slush making processes. A jacketed vessel (20) of the processes and the systems has
an interior wall (26) that defines an interior space (28). The interior space (28) comprises a top (32)
and a bottom (30). The interior space (28) has an average overall cross-sectional area taken
through a vertical axis extending generally between the top (32) and the bottom (30). The
interior space (28) also has a collection portion having an average collection portion
cross-sectional area taken through the vertical axis that is less than the average
overall cross-sectional area. The liquid is placed into the interior space and the
interior walls (26) are cooled. Slush (12) forms on the interior walls (26) and migrates to the
collection portion. The collection portion (36) is located at the interior space bottom (30)
when the slush density is higher than the liquid density and the collection portion (36)
is located at the interior space top (32) when slush density is less than the liquid
density. To facilitate the migration of the slush to the collection portion, at least a
conical portion of the interior space (28) has the general shape of a cone and the
collection portion (36) is located in the proximity of an apex (30) of the conical portion,
thereby helping to funnel the slush (12) to the collection portion (36). The cryogenic liquid
to be made into slush may be oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, or water. The
slush (12) may be used to densify cryogenic liquids, such as cryogenic liquid
propellants.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a (n, 3) code and a (n, 4) code
using simplex codes are disclosed. To encode a 3-bit information bit stream to a
(n, 3) codeword with n code symbols, a simplex encoder generates a first-order
Reed-Muller codeword with (P+1) code symbols from the input information bit
stream for n > P, and punctures the first code symbol of the (P+1) first-order
Reed-Muller code symbols to produce a (P, 3) simplex codeword. An interleaver
permutates the P code symbols of the (P, 3) simplex codeword by columns
according to a predetermined pattern. A repeater repeats the column-permutated
(P, 3) simplex codeword until the number of repeated codes is n and outputs a (n,
3) codeword with the n repeated code symbols.

Abstract: A self adjusting wet brake (100) positioned inside the housing (48, 54, 56) of a
transaxle or transmission (30). The self adjusting brake assembly utilizes a brake pad
(102) having a ramp surface (134) which is contacted by a cooperating surface (132)
of a brake cam (104) for brake actuation. The cooperating surfaces allow the brake
mechanism to automatically account for brake pad wear and the attendant decrease in
brake pad thickness. As the brake pad wears and decreases in thickness, the brake
cam progressively contacts the ramp surface of the brake pad to effect brake actuation.
In one exemplary embodiment, the ramp surface is integral with the brake pad.

Abstract: Compositions, methods and apparatus for correcting refractive errors of
the eye are disclosed. Accelerated reshaping of the corneal tissue is
accomplished by administering enzyme or enzyme inhibitory agents to the eye.
After temporarily softening the cornea a rigid contact lens having a concave
curvature is fitted. This corrects a refractive error. A softened cornea rapidly
reshapes its convex curvature to the concave curvature of the contact lens or
series of lenses, thereby rendering the eye emmetropic. Enzymes and/or other
agents dissipate from the cornea, and the cornea "hardens" to retain the new
emmetropic shape. After "hardening" has occurred, the lens rendering the eye
emmetropic is removed.

Abstract: A rotary welding apparatus for joining two metallic workpieces together by
forming a semi-circular weld at a semi-circular interface formed at mating surfaces
of the workpieces. A turntable is rotated by a turntable drive. The turntable
supports and indexes three lower tools around a circular path between a load
station and a weld station. Each lower tool supports two workpieces to be welded
together. A workpiece rotary drive connects to whichever of the lower tools is at
the weld station then rotates that lower tool about a workpiece axis. A laser
emitter supported adjacent the weld station directs a laser beam at a circular or
semi-circular interface between respective mating surfaces of the two workpieces
and welds the workpieces together as the workpiece rotary drive rotates them. The
laser emitter is supported on a laser emitter mount near the weld station in a
position directing a laser beam at the interface of the workpiece mating surfaces.
The laser emitter mount has two support points spaced radially from each other
relative to the laser emitter to stabilize the laser emitter for improve welding
accuracy.
