Patent EP-0798832-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI NOBUHIKO
IPC: H01S5/343
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: A semiconductor laser device comprises a cladding layer
of a first conductivity type, an active layer, a cladding
layer of a second conductivity type, and a current blocking
layer having a stripe-shaped opening having a predetermined
width W for restricting a current path and forming the current
path, and having a larger band gap than that of the cladding
layer of the second conductivity type and having a smaller
refractive index than that of the cladding layer of the second
conductivity type. A difference Δn between a real refractive
index in a region, which corresponds to the opening, in the
active layer and a real refractive index in a region, which
corresponds to both sides of the opening, in the active layer
and the width W [µm] of the opening are so set as to satisfy
a predetermined relationship. The difference Δn between the
real refractive indexes is set by selecting the Al composition
ratio of the current blocking layer and the thickness of the
cladding layer of the second conductivity type on the both
sides of the opening.

Abstract: An airbag module having a cushion with a compression-deployed
volume (24). The module includes an inflator which
produces a quantity of inflation gas. This gas inflates only
a first volume (22) of the cushion, which is positioned to
protect a first portion (32) of a passenger's body.
Compression of the first volume by the passenger forces the gas
from the first volume into a second volume (24), to thus
inflate the second volume. The second volume is positioned to
protect a second portion (34) of the passenger's body. The
initial quantity of inflation gas is thus reused, reducing the
amount of gas required. This in turn reduces the size and cost
of the inflator. The module is preferred for side impact
protection, and a fold arrangement suited to accurate
deployment is provided. The folded cushion may be secured to
the inflator by a frangible film wrap, eliminating the need for
an exterior housing. The module is preferably mounted upon the
side of the passenger seat back (16).

also includes a check valve (130) mounted in the conduit
(136) to prevent the flow of pressurized fluid through the
conduit (136) from the interior region (80, 82, 84, 86) of
the air sack (70) to the interior region (54) of the
manifold (40).

Abstract: An automotive vehicle headrest system (10) comprises
a pair of laterally spaced upstanding support shafts (26)
or bolt members for threaded engagement within internally
threaded holes, sockets, or sleeves defined within an
automotive vehicle seat frame. A headrest component (38)
includes bracket members (12), having disk members (34)
incorporated therein, which are mounted upon the shafts
(26) such that the bracket/disk assemblies (12,34) are
normally mis-aligned with respect to one another, and the
disk members (34) define two-point contact systems with the
shafts (26) so as to support the headrest (38) at a
predetermined elevational position. Vertical positional
adjustment of the headrest is achieved by causing the
bracket members (12) to be aligned with one another thereby
releasing the two-point contact system defined with the
shafts (26) to allow movement of the headrest (38) to a new
elevational position. The two-point contact system is then
re-established to support of the headrest upon the support
shafts (26) at the new location.

Abstract: Die in der Lebensmittelbranche, bei der Filtration von flüssigen Lebensmitteln, besonders in Brauereien bei der
Bierfiltration, verwendete Kieselgur wird bislang nach der Filtration in Kläranlagen oder über Deponien als
Abfallstoff entsorgt. Allenfalls wird sie in seltenen Fällen auf lanwirtschaftlichen Flächen als Düngemittel
verwendet. Eine Regeneration zur erneuten Filtration in der Lebensmittelbranche ist praktikabel aber
problematisch. Demgegenüber wird eine Verwertung dieses Abfallstoffes als Bestandteil von
Gesundheitsprodukten für den täglichen Bedarf vorgeschlagen. Dabei können die organischen Bestandteile,
vor allem die Hefe, der mineralische Bestandteil, oder beide zusammen vorteilhaft eingesetzt werden. Beispiele
für Produkte, die nach der Erfindung gebrauchte Filtrationskieselgur enthalten, sind Tierpflegemittel,
insbesondere ein Katzenstreu und ein Beifuttermittel; Körperpflegemittel, wie eine Handwaschpaste oder
Peelingcremes; und die Verwendung von gebrauchter Filtrationskieselgur als Backzusatz in Brot.

Accordingly, a pipe (P) having corner portions with increased
pressure deformation resistance is obtained. Also, the pipe (P)

Abstract: Data from the pyrolytic analysis of rock samples obtained
from drilling operations in an existing oil field are used to
characterize the quality and condition of reservoir rock by
comparison of the values of an index for the unknown reservoir
rock samples with the value of the index for a known type and
quality of petroleum reservoir rock sample, the index being
denominated Pyrolytic Oil Productivity Index ("POPI") and defined
by the expression:
 ln(LV+TD+TC) x (TD÷TC) = POPI 
where the terms of the equation are determined empirically and
the resulting POPI values can be used to direct horizontal
drilling operations in real time to optimize the position of the
drilling bit in the reservoir.

Abstract: By means of a plurality of image carrying units,
a correction mark formation unit transfers mixed color
mark trains in right and left lines onto a moving member
in the form of a belt. The mixed color mark trains
serve as marks for correcting image offsets between
color images and each consist of K-C, K-M and K-Y
two-color marks which are superposed on each other in an
offset manner. A correction value calculation unit
detects a lightness pattern of the mixed color mark
trains transferred onto the moving member and figures
out correction values for image offsets between color
images from the phase of this lightness pattern. A
positional offset correction unit automatically corrects
the offsets between the color images on the basis of the
correction values acquired by the correction value
calculation unit.
