Abstract: A rod-shaped article supplying apparatus includes a
hopper (212) for reserving rod-shaped articles (4) such as
cigarettes and for permitting a rod-shaped article to be
discharged through a lower opening (212C) thereof, and a supply
cylinder (213) formed at its outer peripheral face with a slot
(213a) for receiving a rod-shaped article. The supply cylinder
makes a reciprocal rotational movement between a position where
the slot receives a rod-shaped article from the hopper and a
position where the slot discharges the same. The supply
cylinder is provided with projections disposed at a location
diametrically opposite the slot and radially projecting from
the outer peripheral face of the supply cylinder. When the
supply cylinder is in the vicinity of the delivering position,
the projections cause a movable wall (212b) or a side plate of
the hopper to make an angular motion to vibrate rod-shaped
articles in the hopper, whereby a shelf-forming phenomenon
among rod-shaped articles or jamming in the hopper is prevented
with a relatively simplified arrangement to permit a stable
supply of rod-shaped articles.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a metal foil by effecting
rolling with a high efficiency without making any defectively
shaped product. A metal foil having a thickness of 0.2 mm or
less is manufactured after a plurality of passes of cold rolling
by using soft work rolls from the first pass to the pass preceding
the kissing pass during which the kissing of rolls is likely
to occur, using hard work rolls for carrying out the kissing
pass with a reduction in thickness of over 30%, and using soft
work rolls for carrying out the last, or the last two passes
with a reduction of 20% or less. Judgment is made again as to
the likelihood of any roll kissing when hard rolls are used,
and the pressure to be applied for the kissing pass is controlled
in accordance with the result of such judgment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control apparatus (AGNT), a telecommunication system (SYS), a control method and a subscriber sttion (SS1, TE, MT; SS2, TE, MT; SS3, TE, MT) wherein a call set-up request issued by a first subscriber station (SS1) is blocked from a transfer to a telecommunication network (NET) as long as the second subscriber station (SS2) to which a call should be set-up is in a busy state. The control apparatus (AGNT) only transfers the call set-up request to the exchange means (MSC/VLR, GMSC, HLR) of the telecommunication network (NET) when the called second subscriber station (SS2) changes from a busy state into an idle state. Thus, the network resources are not occupied by call set-up requests which would be rejected due to the second subscriber station (SS2) being in a busy state. The invention is particularly advantageous when the calling subscriber station (SS1) uses a re-dial function to repeat a call set-up request. After several retries further retries will be blocked and the call will only be set-up when the second subscriber station becomes free. A particular advantageous application of the invention is to combine the blocking of call set-up requests by the control apparatus (AGNT) with a CCBS service implemented in the network (NET).

containing a noxious gas component, buffer means using a liquid which
dissolves the noxious gas component in the supplied gas temporarily and later
releases the dissolved noxious gas component, and means for purifying the
noxious gas component in the gas supplied from the buffer means. The liquid
in the buffer means dissolves the noxious gas component when the
concentration of the noxious gas component in the supplied gas is high and
releases the noxious gas component dissolved thus far when the concentration
is low. When the noxious gas is ethylene oxide, water is used as the liquid.

Abstract: A matrix display device comprises a matrix display (10) with picture elements (18) arranged in a number of display lines (R). A driving circuit (3) supplies picture signals (Ds) to the picture elements (18) dependent on a video signal (V) which comprises, in a field (Fp), a number of video lines which is lower than the number of display lines (R). A line period (Tl) is defined as the duration of one of the video lines. To display video information on all display lines (R) regularly, after a number of line periods (Tl), more than one display line (R) is selected within one line period (Tl) to write video information to more than one display line (R). Therefore, a timing circuit (21) receives video timing information (S) to determine consecutive and non-overlapping select periods (Tn; Tr), each select period (Tn; Tr) completely occurring within a line period (Tl). In at least one of the line periods (Tl), at least two select periods (Tr) occur. A selecting circuit (20) successively selects the display lines (R), each display line (R) being selected during an associated one of the select periods (Tn; Tr). The timing circuit (21) according to the invention is adapted to obtain select periods (Tr) all having a substantially equal duration. Thus, the select periods (Tr) during line periods (Tl), during which only one display line (R) is selected, have the same duration as the select periods (Tr) during line periods (Tl) during which more than one display line (R) is displayed.

IPC: B05B3/00
Filed: 1999-07-16
Abstract: A high pressure liquid nozzle housing encloses a self-rotating speed-controlled nozzle. A cylindrical sleeve in the housing forms an inwardly facing friction surface engageable by a nozzle-driven friction generating speed control mechanism to provide increasing retarding force on the nozzle as nozzle speed increases for controlling maximum nozzle rotational speed. The speed control mechanism includes a radially expandable helical coil spring rotatable with the nozzle with its windings at low nozzle speeds slightly spaced from the sleeve. An input end of the coil spring is driven by the nozzle structure in a direction tending to unwind the spring and increase its outer diameter in response to rotation of the nozzle. An output end of the coil spring rotatably drives a cluster of centrifugal weights which are spring biased away from the sleeve and which at low nozzle rotation speeds also remain spaced from the sleeve. At higher speeds of nozzle rotation the weights move outwardly and frictionally engage the sleeve and provide a drag on the output end of the spring to aid in unwinding the spring, increasing its diameter and moving it with progressively increasing force into friction creating engagement with the sleeve to provide progressively increased retarding force against nozzle rotation as nozzle speed increases. The weights and spring retarding forces combine, but the spring retarding force is several times the retarding at the weights when an equilibrium between retarding forces and opposing jet stream nozzle reaction is reached at maximum nozzle speed.

Abstract: Une unité de déclenchement électronique (10) destinée à un sectionneur de puissance (7) comporte un circuit pour simuler la courbe caractéristique de réponse d'un fusible. Ce circuit est commandé par un organe de réglage individuel (22) qui reproduit des courants nominaux de fusibles. Ainsi, la coordination de la protection dans les vastes installations de l'alimentation en énergie, qui comprennent aussi bien des sectionneurs de puissance que des fusibles s'en trouve améliorée. Non seulement des unités de déclenchement équipées de microprocesseurs mais également des unités de déclenchement travaillant en analogique peuvent être aménagées pour ce nouveau mode de fonctionnement. La manipulation du nouveau système de protection est particulièrement fiable pour l'utilisateur grâce au fait que l'organe de réglage (22) est combiné pour le mode de fonctionnement "fusible", avec une prise de courant nominal et provoque ainsi directement le réglage de l'unité de déclenchement sur une valeur de courant. A la manière d'un vrai fusible, l'organe de réglage (22) est donc muni d'un marquage correspondant. Les courbes caractéristiques simulées peuvent être infléchies en retard au-dessous d'une valeur limite en vue d'accroître la puissance de coupure nominale et la limite de sélectivité d'un sectionneur de puissance.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système de télécommunications à accès multiples qui utilise des signaux chaotiques. Chaque émetteur possède un système chaotique dont l'espace de phase comprend au moins un attracteur étrange. Chaque récepteur possède des systèmes chaotiques qui correspondent à ceux des émetteurs desquels il reçoit les signaux. On attribue à chaque paire d'utilisateurs un ensemble d'orbites périodiques instables à partir d'un attracteur étrange, cet ensemble pouvant être utilisé par ladite paire d'utilisateurs à des fins de signalisation. Du côté émetteur, un multiplexeur reçoit les données provenant de plusieurs utilisateurs. Ces données sont multiplexées dans le temps afin de produire un débit de données asynchrone. Le débit de données est ensuite mappé en une séquence de signaux chaotiques en fonction de l'ensemble des trajectoires de chaque paire émetteur et récepteur.

Abstract: A dual isolation valve comprises: a valve body with opposed inlet and outlet ports that defines an inner cavity; a first valve member; and a second valve member. The first valve member (preferably a plug) has a narrower first end and a wider second end and is rotatably mounted within the valve body cavity for rotation about a first axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the flow axis defined by the inlet and outlet ports. The first valve member includes a substantially rectangular flow passage. The first end of the first valve member extends away from the second end along the first axis of rotation in a first direction, and the first valve member is rotatable between an open position, in which the flow passage is oriented to be generally aligned with and located on the flow axis to enable fluid entering the inlet port to pass through the flow passage, and a closed position, in which the flow passage is oriented to be generally perpendicular to the flow axis to prevent fluid entering the inlet port from passing through the flow passage. The second valve member also has a narrower first end and a wider second end and is rotatably mounted within the valve body cavity for rotation about a second axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the flow axis. The first end of the second valve member extends away from the second end along the second axis of rotation in a second direction opposite the first direction (such that the first and second valve members are oriented in opposed directions). The second valve member, which also has a substantially rectangular flow passage, is rotatable between an open position, in which the flow passage is oriented to be generally aligned with and located on the flow axis to enable fluid exiting the first valve member to pass through the flow passage to the outlet port, and a closed position, in which the flow passage is oriented to be generally perpendicular to the flow axis to prevent fluid exiting the first valve member from passing through the flow passage to the outlet port. In this configuration, the flow of fluid through valve can be disturbed less than with prior art dual isolation valves while permitting extensive flow through the valve.

Abstract: An adaptive ultrasonic spatial compounding method is described in which the number of component ultrasonic images which are to be spatially compounded is varied in response to the type of scanning procedure. In a survey mode, when the transducer is rapidly scanning a patient and there is a low degree of correlation from frame to frame, the number of component ultrasonic images which are compounded is reduced. In a study mode, when the transducer is held relatively stationary to study a particular region of the body and the frame-to-frame spatial correspondence is relatively high, the number of component images is increased.
