Inventor: MATSUMOTO KENZO
IPC: F04C29/00
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a
multi-cylinder rotary compressor which can enhance the
reliability by improving the compression
efficiency/mechanical efficiency. The bearings are fixed
on the inner wall of the closed container, the cylinders
are fixed to the bearings, and a gap is formed between the
respective cylinders and the inner wall of the closed
container. The design with the relatively large internal
volume of the closed container is possible, and the
reliability can be enhanced. Further, improvement in the
compression efficiency and the mechanical efficiency can be
achieved with the compact multi-cylinder rotary compression
element.

Abstract: A network or interconnect structure utilizes a data flow technique that is based on timing and positioning of messages communicating through the interconnect structure. Switching control is distributed throughout multiple nodes in the structure so that a supervisory controller providing a global control function and complex logic structures are avoided. The interconnect structure operates as a "deflection" or "hot potato" system in which processing and storage overhead at each node is minimized. Elimination of a global controller and buffering at the nodes greatly reduces the amount of control and logic structures in the interconnect structure, simplifying overall control components and network interconnect components and improving speed performance of message communication.

Abstract: An apparatus for a wafer processing system
comprising a wafer support chuck (100) attached to a
gas delivery system (141) for delivery of a gas to the
backside of a wafer supported by the chuck. The gas
delivery system has a gas shutoff valve (140) directly
connected to the wafer chuck. The shutoff valve
provides a positive shutoff with negligible leak rate.
By placing the valve in close proximity to the wafer
chuck, the volume of the backside gas trapped between
the valve and the wafer is minimized. Release of this
trapped gas into the process chamber during wafer
transfer has no adverse impact on the performance of
the processing system.

Abstract: A decorative candle. The candle comprises a
container that defines an interior chamber. Disposed
within the interior chamber is a candle core having a top
surface, a bottom surface, an outer surface, and a bore.
The candle core is disposed within the interior chamber
such that the bottom surface of the candle core is in
abutting contact with the container and a cavity is
formed between the outer surface and the container. The
candle further comprises a wick disposed within the bore
of the candle core. Disposed within the cavity and bore
is an outer layer of a wax mixture. The outer layer has
a melting point less than the melting point of the candle
core such that the outer layer can be poured over the
candle core without melting the same. The candle further
includes at least one component placed upon a top surface
of the top layer. Additionally, a top layer of the wax
mixture is disposed on the top surface of the outer
layer. The top layer partially encapsulates the
component and the wick. Preferably, the top layer has a
melting point lower than the melting point of the
component such that the component will not melt when the
top layer is poured into the container.

Abstract: A generalized positioning system (a system that measures
position or some other aspect of the motion of an object)
based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF), or other filter,
responsive to measurements provided on the basis of
information received from, in some applications, cellular
base stations, as well as, optionally, satellites, where, in
the case of measurements by satellites, and also in other
aspects of the invention as used with cellular positioning
data, the EKF is modified for greater responsiveness based on
use of calculated association probabilities for each
measurement in a set of measurements of position at a
particular instant of time, the association probabilities
used in the calculation of a combined measurement innovation
(residual) used in calculating the next estimate of position
(and other state information, including velocity). In yet a
further aspect of the invention, a pre-validation is
performed, based on a usually pre-determined gate width of a
validation region. By using a combined measurement
innovation, the positioning system is able to accept
simultaneous measurements based on information received from
different sources of information, including both satellites
and cellular base stations.

Abstract: In networking, a media gateway is a combination of hardware and
software that links two different types of networks. At a customer care
center (104), a variety of media gateways (such as call center server
(210) web response server (214) agent server (212) may be used between
various systems. 
     In case of an incoming call or e-mail message, information may be
known about the call/message as a result of caller answering a number of
questions presented by an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) server or by
matching calling line identification with a record in a database. 
     The information may be used to direct the incoming call or e-mail to
an agent that has qualities (often called a skillset) appropriate to
answering the call or e-mail message. To properly direct the call or
e-mail message, the customer care center also requires general data on
available agents, like the skillsets with which each one is associated,
as well as specific data on individual available agents, like a
telephone directory number (for a call center server), an e-mail address
(for a web response server) or a terminal network address
(for an agent server). 
     Currently, synchronization of data between heterogeneous systems must
be maintained manually. This manual maintenance is labor intensive and
error prone, both of which negatively affect a measure known as Total
Cost Of Ownership. 
     The present invention allows creation of administrative groups among heterogeneous
media gateways and related equipment. The data on the equipment in the administrative
groups may then be configured, maintained, and administered using transaction based
processing techniques.

Abstract: A bit rate converter capable of avoiding slip of data in
a memory for use in bit rate adjustment is disclosed. A phase
comparator (4) compares a write address and a read address of
the memory to produce a phase difference. The write address is
ahead of the read address in the memory. A stuffing rate
controller (7) selects one of a plurality of preset fixed
stuffing rates depending on the phase difference. A stuff pulse
inserter (8, 5, 6) inserts a stuff pulse into readout data from
the memory at the selected stuffing rate. When normally
operating, a normal fixed stuffing rate is selected. When the
phase difference is small than a lowest threshold value, a higher
fixed stuffing rate is selected. When the phase difference is
greater than a highest threshold value, a lower fixed stuffing
rate is selected.
