Patent EP-0743463-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ROBINSON MICHAEL
IPC: F16C1/22
Filed: 1996-04-25
Abstract: This invention relates to a locking device which is effective for
coupling and locking two relatively adjustable components requiring
frequent and easily effected relative linear adjustment one of said
components being for example an elongate rod used in a control system. It
provides a device for bi-directionally coupling an elongate member to a cage
or housing and for selectively uncoupling the parts so as to permit relative
positional adjustment. 
     This device comprises a said cage or housing 10 which defines
a locus for a said elongate member 18. A pair of plates 25,26 is located by
said cage and each having an aperture 27, 28 for the passage of the
elongate member 18. The plates are movable selectively between, firstly,
respective orientations in which they are both substantially normal to a long
axis of said locus so that a said elongate member 18 occupying said locus
is free to move axially, and secondly, orientations in which the plates are
oppositely inclined to said long axis and in which the elongate member 18
occupying said locus is gripped in the apertures of the two plates and so
locked relative to the cage or housing.

Abstract: An overcurrent sensing circuit for sensing an
overcurrent flowing through a power MOS transistor is
described. A voltage drop equal to the voltage across
the drain and source of a power MOS transistor that
changes due to change in a load current is generated in
a sensing resistor that is connected between the source
of a sensing MOS transistor having its gate and drain
connected in common with those of the power MOS
transistor and the source of the power MOS transistor
due to current that flows through the sensing MOS
transistor. This voltage is inputted to a comparator
that has an added offset voltage, and the comparator
judges that the power MOS transistor is in an
overcurrent condition when this inputted voltage
exceeds an input offset voltage value that is set
inside the comparator.

Abstract: A method of padding an image signal comprises the
steps of dividing an image signal of an object having an
arbitrary shape into plural regions; processing the plural
regions in prescribed processing order; padding an
insignificant region, which abuts on a boundary region
including a boundary of the object and is composed of
insignificant pixels only, with a padding value obtained by
a prescribed method; and generating additional information
showing whether significant pixels are included or not, for
each of the plural regions, by a prescribed method, with
reference to significant signals showing whether pixel
values of pixels included in the plural regions are
significant or not, which additional information is
referred to when the pixel values of pixels in the plural
regions are padded. In this method, not only the boundary
region but also the insignificant region adjacent to the
boundary region are padded, and region by region padding is
performed using the additional information that shows
whether each region includes significant pixels or not.
Therefore, when the image is encoded or decoded, a
prediction signal with less difference can be obtained even
for an image of great motion, whereby the delay time and
the arithmetic amount in the coding and decoding processes
are significantly reduced.

Abstract: The method of manufacturing a data carrier involves an impressing step in which a surface structure, e.g. a lens structure, is impressed by application of temperature and/or pressure in a stepwise manner. After the impressing step, the document undergoes a further bending step. In the further step, a particular region of the document, especially the region where the impression has occurred, is bent during a cooling phase. An independent claim is included for a data carrier made by the above method.

Abstract: A lawnmover comprises a deck defining a cutting chamber, the deck including an aperture for passage of cut grass from the cutting chamber, a cutter blade rotatable within the cutting chamber about a substantially vertical axis, a grass collection receptacle including a first air-permeable region and a first inlet for entry of the cut grass from the cutting chamber, and an air moving device for drawing air from the grass collection receptacle via the first air-permeable region, and for directing the so-drawn air into the cutting chamber. The resultant first air flow serves to entrain cut grass within the cutting chamber and to convey said entrained grass into the grass collection receptacle via the aperture and the first inlet. A second air inlet, which is disposed in the region of the first inlet, permits entry of a second stream of air into the receptacle. The second stream of secondary air serves to complement the first air flow through the receptacle, and to assist in deflecting the cut grass entrained in the first air flow into the interior of the receptacle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides methods of preparing water-insoluble
polysaccharide sponges, and sponges obtained by
means of the methods. The methods comprise: (a) providing
an aqueous solution of a soluble polysaccharide; (b)
freezing the solution; (c) treating the frozen solution with
a water-miscible organic solvent such as isopropanol to
effect solvent exchange for the water in the frozen
solution; and (d) drying the resulting polysaccharide
material. The organic solvent contains a cross-linking
agent such as calcium chloride to render the polysaccharide
water-insoluble in the solvent-exchange step (c). The
resulting materials are more conformable and less friable
than freeze-dried polysaccharide sponges.

Abstract: An optical receiver unit is connected to each of
a work optical line and a protection optical line, and
after an optical signal is converted to an electrical
signal, only the overhead of the signal is extracted.
Furthermore, bytes accommodated in the overhead are
demultiplexed. K bytes are transferred to both an APS
processing unit and a mismatching judgement unit. The
mismatching judging unit judges whether or not a WTR,
DNR, RR, etc. are set in the K1 byte received from the
opposite station, compares the mode of the opposite
station with the mode of its own station, and detects
a mismatching between the modes of the opposite and
own stations. The result of the detection is
transferred to the APS processing unit, and if there
is a mismatching, the mismatching is solved.
