Title: Device for purifying drinking water
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 1993-05-19
Abstract: A device for drinking water purification having an activated charcoal-containing vessel (1), through which flows water under pressure, is equipped with a feed connection (2) for the untreated water and an outflow connection (3) for the clean water. The feed connection (2) and the outflow connection (3) each have a quick-release coupling (20; 30). The quick-release coupling (20) of the feed connection (2) is connected on the side facing away from the vessel (1) to a pipe (24) leading to an untreated water connection element (4) and the quick-release coupling (30) of the outflow connection (3) is connected to a clean water outlet element (5). <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0628972-A3 (EP)
Title: Electric cables.
Inventor: DAWSON ANTHONY CHARLES
IPC: H01B7/295
Filed: 1994-06-10
Abstract: An electric cable with limited fire survival characteristics comprises at least one insulated conductor insulated with silicone rubber or other organic insulant that leaves an insulating inorganic residue on thermal breakdown and optionally a bare earth wire. A screening layer is formed by a laminate comprising a centre layer of mineral fibre cloth having one face formed by a layer of metal foil and the the other by a layer of organic material infusible below 200 DEG C, preferably regenerated cellulose or cured isophalate polyester film. An extruded sheath of flame-retardant polymeric material contacts, but does not adhere to, the infusible film layer of the laminate. This separation of the screening layer from the sheath ensures that it can be cut back for termination with negligible risk of damage to the conductor insulation and minimal risk of damage to the essential metal layer of the screening laminate. After it has been so cut back, the projecting end of the laminate may be turned back over the cut end of the sheath to expose a metal layer that is sufficiently supported to make an effective screen connection by mechanical means.

Abstract: A scaleable laser and control unit (58) is used to
differentially heat portions of a semiconductor substrate (40)
during downstream etching. Such differential heating provides
a differential etch rate for each portion heated resulting in
improved uniformity and reduced etch induced surface damage.
An etching chamber (50) capable of containing the downstream
plasma and providing a direct line of sight between the
substrate (40) and the scanable laser unit (58) is provided. In
addition, the system provides for dynamic updating of the
process by in situ etch rate and temperature measurements.

Abstract: Dadurch, daß die Funkeinrichtung mit einer Funkuhr (RW) und
mit einer Mobilfunkeinheit (MU) ausgestattet ist, die von der
Funkuhr (RW) ein Wecksignal (WS) empfängt, können Signale
über die Luft jeweils für eine begrenzte Zeitdauer vorübergehend
empfangen werden. Somit ist die Empfangsbereitschaft
der Funkeinrichtung auf bestimmte Zeiten beschränkt, was im
Mittel zu einer Reduzierung des Energieverbrauchs eines Systems,
in dem die Funkeinrichtung verwendet wird, führt. Das
System kann durch die zeitweise abgeschaltete Funkeinrichtung
nämlich nur zu festgelegten Zeiten die Signale empfangen.
Dabei ist der Stromverbrauch der Funkuhr gegenüber dem
Stromverbrauch der Mobilfunkeinheit vernachlässigbar.

Patent EP-0804800-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01H73/00
Filed: 1996-11-12
Abstract: All switching devices which have the purpose of protecting people or objects from the harmful effects of electric current include at least triggering elements which trigger the appropriate switching mechanisms whenever predetermined threshold values are exceeded. This opens the main current contacts in the switching device, thus usually stopping current flow. However, such switching devices occasionally fail in an emergency situation because, for example, the trigger elements stick, the switching mechanisms jam, the contacts become welded together, or because of other faults. For such eventualities, a device is proposed for forcibly interrupting the appropriate mains or main current lines with a work storage unit. The latter produces a force along a pathway and is kept in an inactive state by a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can easily be released by a trigger controlled by the switching device and the work storage unit can thus be freed to switch to its active state. A separator device driven by the work storage unit then forcibly separates the current lines. The device is especially suitable for incorporation in or combination with protective switches such as fault current protective switches, automatic cut-outs, bus protection switches, motor protection switches, power protection switches and the like.

Abstract: A recording and/or reproducing apparatus which includes 
no pinch roller and no capstan and wherein the converging 
time to a rotated speed upon starting of feeding of a tape 
can be reduced and the tape can be fed stably at the rated 
speed during recording and/or reproduction of the tape is 
disclosed. A rotary encoder for detecting a period of 
rotation is disposed between a recording and/or reproducing 
head and a take-up side reel, and deviation from a 
predetermined reference value is calculated from the period 
of rotation detected by the rotary encoder.  
     On start-up the period of 1/n rotations is measured and 
used to determine the deviation. After one rotation has been 
completed the deviation is determined from the period of a 
whole rotation.

Abstract: Data about a plurality of curved surfaces which are
expressed in various forms are inputted (S1), and based on
the inputted data, the curved surfaces are defined (S2, S3)
by a set of rational functions with respect to parameters u
and v. Then, calculation for intersections which are
necessary for machining is carried out, and paths of a
cutting tool are calculated. In figuring out the solution of
the set of rational functions, first, the extremal value and
the point of inflection are calculated, and the solution is
calculated by an analytically focusing method with the
initial value set between the extremal value and the point
of inflection. When a plurality of curved surfaces are
expressed in the same form, the curved surfaces are unified
into a single surface.

Abstract: A magnetic head (30) has a printing surface (39a) facing a magnetic

for generating a dot-shaped recording field, an electromagnetic coil (38) for
supplying a field to the magnetic core (37) based on a printing signal, and the
like. Since the diameter d of the edge of the magnetic core is smaller than the
diameter D of the holes, the difference between the diameter D and the diameter
d is less than 0.9 mm, and the diameter D is 2.0 mm or less, the expansion of
the foot slope in the distribution of the magnetic field can be eliminated. Thus
the distribution of the recording magnetic field is optimized to realize a high
