Patent EP-0799736-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HELLER NORBERT
IPC: B60J1/17

Abstract: A window channel (34) for a power-driven window glass in a motor vehicle body has lip portions (46,48) extending across its mouth, one of the lip portions (46) making initial contact with the rising window glass. Along part of the window frame, such as along a slanting part corresponding to the A-pillar of the vehicle, the lip (46) is provided with a groove (70) which increases the flexibility of the lip (46) so that it applies substantially no reactive force to the rising window glass (10). Along another part, such as the substantially horizontal top part of the frame, the lip (46) is provided with no such groove. It therefore provides a reactive force to the rising window glass (10) which increases to a peak value as the lip hinges into the channel, and then falls abruptly from this peak value. A safety system monitors the current in an electric motor raising the window glass. When this current is detected to rise to a peak corresponding to the peak value of the force, and then to fall, this indicates that the glass has entered the window channel and can be safely driven into the closed position. However, if the safety system previously detects that the current has risen to a level corresponding to a force exceeding the predetermined value, this is indicative of an obstruction and the window glass is stopped and reversed.

Abstract: A lowering collision avoidance device includes a hoisting
accessory swing detector, a rope winding speed detector,
an arithmetic unit, a rope winding speed controller, and
if desired, a rope length detector. The arithmetic unit
computes a command value for the lowering speed based on
the results of comparison between the amount of swing of
a hoisting accessory detected by the hoisting accessory
swing detector and a predetermined threshold level or a
plurality of predetermined threshold levels; the direction
of changes in the amount of swing computed based on the
amount of swing of the hoisting accessory; and the lowering
speed detected by the rope winding speed detector. The rope
winding speed controller controls the lowering speed based
on this command value. The arithmetic unit also predicts
maximum displacement by swing based on the amount of swing
of the hoisting accessory, the positional change rate of
the hoisting accessory computed based on this amount of
swing, and the period of vibration of the hoisting accessory
computed from the rope length detected by the rope length
detector, and computes a command value for the lowering
speed based on the results of comparison between the maximum
displacement and a predetermined threshold level. The
rope winding speed controller controls the lowering speed
based on this command value as well.

Abstract: Protein isolates having a high protein content and low residual fat content are provided in substantially non-denatured form by extracting an oil seed meal having a significant fat content, particularly canola meal, with an aqueous food grade salt solution to cause solubilization of protein and fat in the oil seed meal and form an aqueous protein solution. Following separation of this solution from the residual oil seed meal, fat is removed from the aqueous protein solution by chilling the aqueous protein solution and removing the fat which separates. The protein concentration of the defatted protein solution is increased while the ionic strength is maintained substantially constant. A further fat removal operation may be carried out on the concentrated protein solution followed by dilution to an ionic strength below about 0.2 to cause the formation of discrete protein particles in the aqueous phase in the form of protein micelles. These protein micelles are settled to form a mass of protein isolate in the form of an amorphous, sticky gelatinous, gluten-like protein micellar mass, which is separated from supernatant and dried to a proteinaceous powder.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sweeper or abrasive element is disclosed. The abrasive element is manufactured from a U-shaped plastic profile having an aperture in which are placed abrasive lamellae, supporting bristles and heat-dissoluble plastic threads. By heating above the plasticization temperature of the plastic, total embedding of the bristles and abrasive lamellae occurs thereby forming an integral unit. This ensures that the bristles and/or abrasive lamellae will not separate during use of rotating abrasive or polishing tools in which the abrasive elements are included. As the abrasive elements are of plastic material they are flexible and able to adapt to different diameters of abrasive or polishing tools. The user, therefore, only needs to have a supply of abrasive elements, cut into suitable lengths depending on the diameter of the tool in which the abrasive elements are to be replaced.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle thérapie pour traiter les troubles de l'érection. Dans cette thérapie, les actions d'un agent ou d'agents produisent une association d'effets pour induire une érection (et éviter le priapisme) tout en réduisant ou en supprimant totalement la douleur. Le procédé selon l'invention associe une première action d'un agent antagoniste d'un stimulus de douleur induit par médicament, dans les nerfs nociceptifs du tissu pénien, à une deuxième action du même agent ou d'un deuxième agent, qui renforce, de manière synergique, la relaxation des muscles lisses. Cette synergie permet d'obtenir au moins un effet équivalent de relaxation des muscles lisses à des doses significativement inférieures d'un agent de relaxation des muscles lisses, tel que le PGE1 qui, en thérapie standard, induit une douleur dans 40 à 45 % des cas, à des doses qui assurent une érection efficace. Ainsi, dans un site anatomique, où les tissus nociceptifs sont situés à proximité d'un ou de plusieurs systèmes effecteurs, le procédé renforce le système effecteur tout en réduisant la nociception dans le tissu nociceptif, nociception susceptible d'être provoquée par un agent tel que le PGE1 qui est utilisé pour déclencher le système effecteur.

Abstract: A linear compressor according to the invention is for
generating compressed gas and includes two pairs of
pistons 608a, 608b and cylinders 607a and 607b coaxially
provided and facing opposite to each other, a shaft 603
having pistons 608a and 608b at its ends, coil springs
605a and 605b coupled to shaft 603 for returning a piston
departed from a neutral point to the neutral point, and a
linear motor 613 for causing shaft 603 to axially move
back and forth, thereby generating compressed gas
alternately in two compression chambers 611a and 611b. 
     Thus, the non-linear force of the compressed gas
acting upon the pistons may be divided into two/reversed
in phase. As a result, as compared to a conventional
structure having only a single piston, the motor thrust
may be reduced and linearized for the purpose of improving
the efficiency. Furthermore, the size of the device may be
reduced as well as the vibration/noises caused thereby may
be reduced.
