Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a useful technique for achieving weight
reduction of the counter weight while reducing vibration in the reciprocating power tool.
According to the invention, representative reciprocating power tool may include a motor, a tool bit (111),
a slider (107), a motion converting mechanism (121), a counter weight (139) and a component part (131,123) of the motion
converting mechanism. The tool bit performs a predetermined operation by reciprocating. The
slider reciprocates to drive the tool bit. The motion converting mechanism converts a rotating
output of the motor into a reciprocating movement of the slider. The counter weight reciprocates
in a direction opposite to the reciprocating direction of the slider to reduce vibration caused by the
reciprocating movement of the slider. The component part includes component of motion in a
direction parallel to the reciprocating movement of the slider. The component part performs
vibration reducing function together with the counter weight. Because component part can move
parallel to the reciprocating slider to cooperate with the counter weight in reducing vibration
caused within the power tool, the weight of the counter weight can be decreased while keeping the
sufficient capability of vibration reducing function.

Abstract: The sheet serves for cases of emergency. in particular for covering
compartments containing emergency means, fire fighting means, alarm
means and the like. The surface of the sheet comprises a lattice of linear
incisions (10) of preferential fracture (11, 11'), each of which forms, in
section, a recess which narrows towards the point of minimum level where
it defines a preferential fracture line; said lattice of linear incisions defines
a plurality of mutually adjacent closed sheet portions (20, 25) bounded by
and separated from each other by the preferential fracture lines (11, 11');
according to the invention, at the nodal points, said preferential fracture
lines (11, 11') join together in pairs to form chamfer lines (13, 13')
bounding a closed nodal area (30) within which the thickness is much
smaller than the overall thickness of the sheet. This overcomes the
drawback caused by the fact that at the nodal points where the lines
intersect, acute angles form along the fracture lines when the sheet is
broken, and represent a danger to the person breaking the sheet,
especially if using a hand to directly break the sheet.

Abstract: An improved multi-channel optical equalizer method and apparatus for intersymbol interference mitigation compensates for single- or multi- wavelength channels simultaneously and requires few adjustable parameters. The optical equalizer can also compensate for overshoots and signal transition degradations of a semiconductor optical amplifier. The equalizer unit has only two control signals, one to control signal magnitude and one to control signal phase, yet it can still compensate many wavelength channels simultaneously. The equalizer includes a coupler with a controllable coupling ratio for splitting the light into two portions and a controllable interferometer means having two arms, one arm having an additional delay which is equal to an integer multiple of 1/Δf, where Δf is the channel spacing between adjacent wavelengths utilized in the optical system. The controllable interferometer unit also has a controllable delay in a first or second arm for adjusting the relative phase of the light passing therethrough. A coupler combines the two signal portions from the first and second arms to form the equalized output signal. In a second embodiment, the equalizer includes two equalizer units connected in series to compensate for both leading and lagging intersymbol interference.

Abstract: The method regulates the rotation rate of a commutator motor having a stator winding and a rotor and a regulator which generates a target value to regulate the motor to a value characteristic of a desired rotation rate. The method involves continually detecting a value characteristic of the actual rotation rate of the rotor. In a lower rotation rate range between zero and a predetermined minimum rotation rate, the motor is driven by a current independent of the desired rotation rate. Outside of this range the motor is driven with a target value for the current which is a function of the regulation difference between a value characterizing the desired rotation rate and a value characterizing the actual rotation rate. Independent claims also cover a motor regulated using the method.
