Patent EP-0564081-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JORDAAN AMOR
IPC: C07C51/41
Filed: 1993-02-16
Abstract: A method for making a rare earth metal salt of an organic acid, for example neodymium naphthenate, is provided. The method includes the steps of producing a three-phase system which comprises an aqueous phase in which is dissolved a salt of a rare earth metal or an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt, a solid water-insoluble rare earth compound suspended in the aqueous phase, and an organic phase containing the organic acid. The organic acid is allowed to distribute between the organic and aqueous phases, react with the dissolved inorganic salt and release an inorganic acid. This leads to some of the water-insoluble rare earth compound becoming dissolved in the aqueous phase and reacting with the organic acid to form a rare earth metal salt of the organic acid. The rare earth metal salt of the organic acid is allowed to transfer to the organic phase from whence it is recovered.

Abstract: An electrical appliance comprises a power supply cable (70) having a first conductor (200) surrounded by a second conductor (210) for supplying electrical power to the appliance from a domestic electricity mains supply, and a connector (490) connected to cable for detachably connecting the conductors of the cable to first and second voltage signals of the electricity mains supply. In operation, the second conductor (210) is connected to the lower of the voltage signals. The second conductor (210) thus acts as a shield in opposition to electric fields radiating from the cable. The shield improves in efficiency as the lower mains voltage signal approaches Ground potential.

Abstract: A process for reproducing an original color image on a printing device includes separating each pixel of the original image into a plurality of color components to obtain an image density value for each color component at each pixel. A number of printing elements are selected for each color component, the number of printing elements being more than one for at least one of the color components. The printing density values for each color component having more than one printing element are separated into at least two pixel groups, the first pixel group containing printing density values less than or equal to an assigned maximum printing density value achievable with a single printing element for that color component, and the second pixel group containing printing density values greater than said assigned maximum printing density value for that color component. Printing elements are prepared for each color component having more than one printing element wherein a first printing element produces printing density values equal to the printing density values for each pixel in a first group and also produces printing density values equal to said assigned maximum printing density value for each pixel in a second pixel group, and a second printing element produces printing density values obtained by substracting said assigned maximum printing density value from the printing density value for each pixel in the second pixel group.

Abstract: A feed apparatus (50) for feeding a recorded image or film (scanned medium) in a reading or recording apparatus has a feed drum (54) for feeding the scanned medium and a motor (60) for rotating the feed drum. The rotating states of the feed drum and the motor are detected respectively by a rotary encoder (62) and a frequency generator (74) for feedback control of the feed drum and the motor. The eccentricity of the feed drum is limited to a predetermined value which is calculated according to the following equation:       ΔD = 1/2{(T + D)ΔL/L - 2ΔT}          where ΔD represents the predetermined value, L the length of the scanned medium in the auxiliary scanning direction, ΔL the allowable feed error of the scanned medium in the auxiliary scanning direction, T the thickness of the scanned medium, and ΔL the thickness variation of the scanned medium. Alternatively, the rotary encoder is capable of outputting an original position signal, and the feed drum is positioned in a predetermined original angular position based on the original position signal each time the scanned medium starts to be fed. Then, the scanned medium is fed by the feed drum which starts rotating from the predetermined original angular position.

Abstract: An adaptive timing recovery method and apparatus are disclosed. The present invention reduces the problems in connection with the conventional timing recovery by varying the gain of the band-edge filtering in inverse proportion to the available band-edge energy in the received signal. The non-linearized outputs from the "early-late" filter 30, 32, 34, 35 are first added 36 together and then subtracted 37 from a reference value. A small fraction of the result 38 is subtracted 43 from the filter gains 31, 33 of the two half-symbol-rate filters 30, 32. Therefore, if the band-edge energy is small, then the sum of the non-linearized outputs is negative and the timing filter gain values are increased. If the band-edge energy is large, then the filter gains will be reduced.

Abstract: A body (6) is guided and pushed along a central duct (1) formed by couples of peripherally oriented tiles (2). In the translation motion, pliers (7), (42) restrains the end of a tying element, or string (9), so that it unwinds adhering to the same body (6), to form at least a half-turn of the longitudinal tying. The opposite longitudinal tying, on the contrary, is obtained by means of second pliers (12), having an alternate motion, which temporary restrains a point of string (9) adhering to body (6) during the turns of the same remaining string around the same body. At each turn, spool (14), from which the string unwinds, stops; mobile pliers (12) raise string (9) above said spool; the spool passes under the string and the latter is brought again in adherence with body (6), which at the same time is caused to advance by a step. The operations, sequentially repeated during the step-by-step advancing of the body, form with the string tying rings (28) which develop from the longitudinal half-turn by means of superpositions, or knots (27). At the end of the sliding of body (6) in duct (1), the free ends of the string are knotted with one another.
