Inventor: ZANARDO FRANCESCO
IPC: D06F75/18
Filed: 1999-04-07
Abstract: The invention is a steam iron with container (3) and micropump (4)
incorporated. The micropump, which operates pressing a push button (6.1)
on the handle (6), takes the water from the container and conveys it to
the heating plate (1) in which is vaporised and then it comes out
through some holes (1.1) arranged on said plate. The steam iron is
provided with a handle covered by cork (6.2) and with a spot light (8),
whose beam can be oriented forward and downward, said spot light is
positioned in the front part of the steam iron near the plate.

Abstract: The arrangement has a first camshaft (11) mechanically coupled to the crankshaft (13), a second camshaft (112) mechanically coupled to the first camshaft, a control drive (116) which sets the phase of the second camshaft relative to the first and a transfer element. The transfer element transfers the stroke of the cams to the valve, so that the lift of the first camshaft defines the start or end of the valve stroke and that of the second camshaft defines the end or start of the valve stroke. A camshaft sensor (5) determines the rotation angle of the second camshaft.

Abstract: An improved air conditioning system that cools or heats
air very rapidly after being started. The system includes a
main heater and a cooler which is also functions as an
auxially heater. The cooler includes a variable displacement
compressor (201) for compressing refrigerant gas. The
compressor (201) has a crank chamber (15) and a discharge
chamber (25). A crank mechanism is accommodated in the crank
chamber (15). Compressed refrigerant gas is supplied to an
external refrigerant circuit (202) via the discharge chamber
(25). The discharge chamber is connected to the external
refrigerant circuit by a passage (40). A throttle valve (41)
is located in the passage (40). The throttle valve (41)
closes the passage (40) immediately after the compressor is
started, which quickly increases the pressure of the discharge
chamber (25). As a result, the displacement of the compressor
(201) is increased quickly, and rapid heating or cooling
results.

Abstract: The safety switch incorporates a substantially cylindrical
inertial mass (44) which is horizontally movable in all
directions in a cavity (22) of the body (10) of the switch.
The inertial mass (44) has a peripheral edge (51) which is
engageable with a cam action by projections (34) of a
resetting push button (30) for returning it to a centred
position. A base surface of the inertial mass (44) has a
central depression (46) for housing the upper end (80) of a
push rod (76) and maintaining the push rod in a position
corresponding to a first state of the circuit. This base
surface also has a concentric annular groove (48) into which,
when the inertial mass (44) is in an eccentric position, the
push rod (76) enters causing the movable contact member (56)
to move to a position corresponding to a second state of the
circuit. The switch also includes means for disengaging the
push rod (76) from the annular groove (48) under the action of
the resetting push button (30), in order to enable the
inertial mass (44) to return to the centered position. The
arrangement is such as to make sure that when the resetting
push button (30) is pressed, the inertial mass (44) cannot
slide away by accident from the centered position to the
eccentric position, even if the vehicle is not level.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a waveguide with a desired tapered
profile is disclosed. The waveguide has a first section with a first height
and a second section with a second height. The first height is greater
than the second height. The waveguide height tapers from the first
height to the second height. 
     The waveguide is a compound semiconductor material and is
formed using selective area growth. In selective area growth, a dielectric
mask is formed on a substrate. The dimensions of the dielectric mask are
selected to provide a waveguide with the desired dimensions. The
compound semiconductor material is deposited on the substrate using
chemical vapor deposition. The dielectric mask affects the rate at which
the compound material is deposited in areas of the substrate proximate
to the mask. Therefore, the profile of the waveguide formed using the
selected mask dimensions is modeled and compared with the desired
profile. If modeled profile is not acceptably similar to the desired profile,
the dimensions of the mask are modified. The profile of the waveguide
formed using the modified mask dimensions is again modeled, and the
modeled waveguide profile is compared with the desired waveguide
profile. This process is repeated until the modeled profile is sufficiently
similar to the desired profile. 
     After the mask dimensions are selected, the mask is formed on the
substrate, and the compound semiconductor waveguide is formed on the
substrate using selective area growth.

Abstract: The quick safety connector comprises a male (A) and female (B) fitting which are locked one inside the other. A controlled lock axially immobilizes the male fitting in a connection position while retaining balls (40,41) immobilize this fitting, after releasing it from the lock, in an intermediate discharging position of the pipe (C1) connected to the male fitting. The lock and the retaining balls are controlled by a sheath (60) sliding around the body (2) of the female fitting. Vents and/or a safety collar (200) limit the movement of the sheath under the effect of the pressure (P) existing in its internal volume (V,C) because of the discharge from the upstream pipe in the intermediate position, to a release position of the male fitting from the retaining part.

Abstract: Normally, in telephony, a subscriber number is entered using a keypad. 
     In the new method of entering a subscriber number in a menu-driven
telephone (F), the digits available are displayed on a display device (S) of
the telephone as a menu. By moving a marker (M) in the menu by means of
activating a control element (BE), the digits of the subscriber number to be
entered are first sequentially marked and then selected each by activating a
selection key. In a telephone operated by this method, there is therefore no
need of a keypad.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter les défauts de perception des couleurs d'un sujet en mesurant sa courbe de sensibilité spectrale, la courbe de sensibilité spectrale étant établie par balayage spectral à la fréquence critique de fusion dans des bandes de longueur d'onde discrètes étroites prédéterminées, de préférence, le bleu, le vert, l'orange et le rouge. On compense les défauts de perception des couleurs en utilisant une couleur de compensation déterminée à partir des différences existant entre une courbe de sensibilité standard et la courbe mesurée. Dans chaque longueur d'onde où l'on rencontre des différences, on augmente ou on réduit, selon l'importance et le signe de cette différence, l'intensité de la source lumineuse qui génère cette longueur d'onde et on obtient la couleur de compensation en allumant toutes les sources lumineuses.
