Abstract: A distance L1 between a rotation axis 222 of a stepping motor
22 and a first guide ring 24 is made shorter than a distance L2
between the rotation axis 222 and a second guide ring 25. When weft
Y1 is on a second yarn route, that is, when a yarn route changing
body 23 is in a weft braking position, a yarn bending angle α becomes
larger than a yarn bending angle β.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for applying an aqueous polymer dispersion to a
substrate involving forming a polymer dispersion having a viscosity of from 10 to 5,000 m.Pas, and
applying the dispersion to a substrate at a pressure of from 100 to 1500 psi. The method is useful
with porous substrates, and especially in non-woven materials. The process provides a precise
means of coating a polymer dispersion on the surface of a substrate, or with controlled penetration
into the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser positioning system for an aperture-processing
machine and is an accessory of an aperture-processing machine. The present invention
is a type of laser positioning system for an aperture-processing machine that includes
two laser transmission devices each of which emits a beam of light. The two light
beams form an angular set up. A common line of intersection is formed at the point of
intersection in space. After the two laser transmission devices have been fixed relative
to the aperture-processing machine, the common line of intersection formed at the
point of intersection of the two light beams mentioned above and the axial line of the
main bearing cutter of the aperture-processing machine coincide exactly, thus forming
the reference for positioning. In the application of the present invention, adjustment is
easy, positioning is rapid and observation is direct with high accuracy and low cost.
The device can be used widely in processing machines such as drilling machines,
boring lathes and lathes.

Abstract: Zur Ausbringung von Luft aus dem Thoraxraum eines Patienten ist ein an eine Vakuum-Quelle
anschließbares Gefäß (1) vorgesehen, dessen Innenraum eine Kontroll-Flüssigkeit aufweist,
wobei der Innenraum des Gefäßes mittels eines Deckels (2) gegenüber der äußeren Atmosphäre
verschließbar ist; vom Deckel (2) aus gesehen ragt ein erstes Tauchrohr (5), das mit einem
patientenseitigen Schlauch in Luftverbindung steht, in den Innenraum des Gefäßes (1), weiterhin
ragt vom Deckel (2) aus gesehen ein zweites, mit der Außenatmosphäre verbundenes
Tauchrohr (15) in den gleichen Innenraum, wobei das Längenverhältnis der jeweils geschlossenen
Rohrwandbereiche des ersten (5) und des zweiten Tauchrohres (15) kleiner als 1:1 ist. 
     Die Differenz der Länge von jeweils geschlossenen Rohrwandbereichen des ersten und zweiten
Tauchrohres (5, 15) liegt im Bereich von 100 mm bis 500 mm. Das zweite Tauchrohr (15) ist
von einem im unteren Bereich geöffneten Hüllrohr (17) umgeben, das in seinem oberen Bereich
seitliche Öffnungen (18) aufweist, um den Zutritt eines Wasser-Luftgemisches zur Vakuumquelle
zu verhindern. 
     Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist es sich, dass das am Patienten angelegte Vakuum genau gemessen
und eingestellt werden kann, wobei die Vorrichtung einen kompakten Aufbau aufweist,
so dass ein Patient sich wenigstens im beschränkten Rahmen auch ohne ortsfeste Verbindung
bewegen kann. Die Vorrichtung ist einfach einzurichten, mehrfach verwendbar und vereint alle
für eine Thoraxdrainage notwendigen Mess- und Sicherheitseinrichtungen in sich.

Abstract: A mask (11) is shown which is used for
providing air or oxygen for breathing. The mask (16)
has a differential pressure sensor (30) for providing
a signal to control oxygen or airflow to the mask
(16). In one form the sensor is in the wall of the
mask or in a wall of a supply tube, to sense the
differences between ambient pressure, for example in
the cabin (10) of an aircraft, and pressure in the
breathing space (24) on the interior of the mask
(16). Reduction in the pressure on the interior of
the mask (16) can indicate that a pilot (12) is not
receiving adequate oxygen, or is being subjected to
stresses that may result in blackouts or red outs.
The signal from the differential pressure sensor (30)
is used to control the flow of oxygen to the mask
(16), and also can be used for controlling the
pressure of pressurized suits (14) worn by the pilot
(12). The pressure sensor (30) output also can be
used to maintain a higher pressure on the interior of
the mask (16) to insure ambient air does not
contaminate the air being breathed.

Inventor: SALLE MATHIAS JEAN RENE
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: At present, there does not seem to be an expedient and reliable automated way of
constructing contracts as existing automated systems only allow the searching and
cross-referencing of documents. They do not cater for the process of constructing a
contract. Accordingly the invention provides an apparatus and automated method of
drafting contracts in a structured model-based manner, re-using existing information.
A drafting tool assigns appropriate values to descriptors as defined by a chosen
formal contract model. A formatter downloads a layout model and tools from a
modeller for creating a structured textual contract on the basis of a contract image
stored in an image repository. Reference tags generated by an encoder are used
for associating the descriptors of the formal contract to the descriptors of the
structured textual contract. The encoder then assembles the required contract
according to the descriptors using the drafting tool.

Abstract: A communication apparatus of the present invention notifies a user that one of a plurality of events has occurred, and includes a first reception unit, a second reception unit, a detection unit, and a light emitting unit. The first reception unit receives from the user, for each time slot that composes a light emission pattern, designation of a light emission color or non-emission, as a light emission attribute of the time slot. The second reception unit receives a designation of an event to be corresponded with the light emission pattern. The detection unit detects that one of the plurality of events has occurred. The light emitting unit, when the detection unit detects that the event has occurred, emits light based on the light emission pattern designated in correspondence with the event.

     In a motor control device 20, a motor drive device 24 is disposed for U-, V-, and
W-phases. High-stage FETs 81U, 81V, 81W and low-stage FETs 82U, 82V, 82W are
disposed in series and are turned on in an exclusive manner. Connection points 83U, 83V,
83W are disposed therebetween and send drive currents to the phases of a brushless DC
motor 6. Shunt resistors RU, RV, RW are inserted in the circuit to detect current for each
of the phases. Through-current is monitored to optimize dead time and perform efficient
and responsive motor control. The CPU 21 monitors current values detected during dead
time. If an irregularity is detected, the dead time is increased to prevent through-current.
