Patent EP-0979140-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUDRA TADEUSZ
IPC: F26B3/092
Filed: 1998-04-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing materials in a batchwise or continuous fluidised bed (10), such as a drier, in which the fluidised bed is subdivided into a plurality of smaller areas (20), to each of which two separately controlled gas flows are provided. The first lower gas flow is provided to the bed preferably all of the time, and is sufficient at least to maintain the bed in an expanded state. The second higher gas flow is provided to each separate area of the bed in sequence by means of a rotary valve arrangement (21A, 22A, 23A, 24A), and is high enough to induce fluidisation in the bed, but not high enough to induce significant solids loss by entrainment in the offtake gas. The higher flow sequence can be chosen to provide almost any desired sequence to the separate parts of the bed. The sequence can be chosen to induce a travelling wave within the bed which can be across or along the bed, and can be skewed relative to the sides of the bed. In a continuously operated bed, the travelling wave can move either co-currently with, counter-currently to, or cross-currently to, the direction of flow of the solids through the bed. This form of operation, particularly with a skewved travelling wave improves bed operating efficiency. Since the rotary valve cannot be closed completely, problems associated with abrasive dust in the gas feed, of valve lubrication, and valve differential thermal expansion are all substantially avoided.

Abstract: A terrace heating device includes a reflector (7) for reflecting rising heat from a heater (8) downward toward patrons on a terrace. An umbrella-like cover (10) is arranged on a support pole above the heater. The umbrella-like cover is articulable between an open position (FIG. 2b) and a closed position (FIG. 2a). The open position corresponds to a position of use in which the umbrella-like cover traps heat, holding the heat close to the patrons. In use, the umbrella-like cover is opened and the heater turned on to heat the space underneath the umbrella-like cover. The closed position corresponds to a storage position in which the umbrella-like cover folds about the support pole and a safety switch turns off the heater automatically. The umbrella-like cover is preferably defined by a detachable material for the cover which material is selected in accordance with the season, e.g., insulated for winter.

IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1998-08-05
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode de détermination de l'apparition de l'ostéoporose consistant à mesurer la réponse vibratoire de l'appareil locomoteur. On détermine principalement les risques de fracture des os dus à l'ostéoporose à l'aide de trois facteurs de risque: la force musculaire, la masse osseuse et la stabilité posturale. En raison de la corrélation qui existe entre ces trois facteurs de risque et du fait qu'ils dépendent des fonctions musculaires, on peut les déterminer en quantifiant les vibrations physiologiques de manière non vulnérante à l'aide d'un accéléromètre à faible masse disposé au niveau du ventre d'un muscle approprié. Les vibrations musculaires sont produites par les fluctuations de force d'unités motrices distinctes lors de la contraction et elles sont exprimées par la dilatation latérale des fibres musculaires. Les caractéristiques vibratoires des muscles couvrent une large gamme de fréquences (0-100 Hz), reflétant directement la force fournie par les fibres musculaires utilisées et la nature de l'environnement mécanique dynamique que subit le squelette lors de l'activité musculaire locomotrice ou posturale. En outre, on a découvert que des informations vibratoires inférieures à 5 Hz correspondaient à une instabilité posturale; et qu'une composante de fréquence spécifique du spectre des vibrations (25-50 Hz) du muscle représentait la contribution des fibres à oxydation rapide, lesquelles sont en parfaite corrélation avec la teneur minérale des os chez les sujets humains. Ainsi, les trois principaux facteurs de risque de fracture sont évalués par simple mesure du spectre de vibrations de l'appareil locomoteur, utilisant la quantification des vibrations physiologiques.

Patent EP-1024350-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOTAKA HIROFUMI
IPC: F23N5/18
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: A pipe line (4) for fluid to be detected is formed so that heat
from a flow rate detector (12) in which a thin-film heating element and a
thin-film temperature sensing element are laminated on a first surface of a
substrate through an insulating layer is transferred to and absorbed by the
fluid. In the flow rate detector (12), the temperature sensing which is
affected by the heat absorption of the fluid due to the heating of the
thin-film heating element is executed by the thin-film temperature sensing
element, and the flow rate of the fluid in the pipe line (4) is detected on
the basis of the temperature sensing result. A fin plate (14) extending
into the pipe line (4) is joined to a second surface of the substrate of
the flow rate detector (12) by a joint member (16), and the fin plate (14)
extends so as to pass through the central portion on the circular section
of the pipe line (4). The dimension of the fin plate (14) in the direction
of the pipe line (4) is larger than the dimension L 2  of the thickness.
Accordingly, even when the fluid is viscous fluid having relatively high
viscosity, and further even when the flow rate is relatively small or
under a broad environmental temperature condition, the flow rate of the
fluid flowing in the pipe line (4) can be accurately measured.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for converting the format of data to be
transmitted into an appropriate form and for transmitting the data to a data receiving
apparatus when the data receiving apparatus does not support a data format which

information of a data format which can be transmitted by a source apparatus and a
data format which can be received by a destination apparatus. When the destination
apparatus cannot receive the data format which can be transmitted by the source
apparatus, the controller instructs the source apparatus to transmit data to the
controller. The controller receiving the data converts the data format into a format in
which the data can be received by the destination apparatus, and transmits the data to
