Patent EP-1213083-A3 (EP)
Inventor: UCHIDA HIDEKI
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: A squeegee unit having a stirring squeegee and a
leveling squeegee fixed thereto is rocked with the
reciprocating operation of a transfer unit moving mechanism
to cause the stirring squeegee and the leveling squeegee to
approach the pan surface of a transfer unit on going and
returning paths. Consequently, the stirring squeegee stirs
a viscous fluid put on the transfer unit on the going path
of the transfer unit and the leveling squeegee uniformly
flattens the viscous fluid stirred on the going path to
have a predetermined thickness on the returning path of the
transfer unit, thereby forming a flat viscous fluid
transfer surface on the transfer unit. By immersing the
terminal portion of the electronic component in the viscous
fluid transfer surface, the viscous fluid is transferred to
the electronic component and the electronic component is
then mounted in a predetermined mounting position.

Abstract: A golf practice and exercise system having a practice ball and a target assembly, using either
a conventional or practice golf club. The practice ball is any generally spherical shape made
of a flexible material and having an internal pressure of approximately atmospheric, for
example an uninflated soccer ball. The weight of the practice ball is sufficient to provied
muscle development, but is limited to allow the golfer to complete the follow-through of the
golf swing. The target assembly has an energy absorbing surface attached to a rigid frame
held in place by a frame support structure. Alternatively, the target assembly is a flat surface
made of a hard material. The practice golf club has a substantially oversized club head with a
peripheral rim defining a large opening through the club head. The club head may be
selectively weighted. The grip of the club has alternating annular ridges and recesses.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method of and system for analyzing samples
(particularly, bio-samples), wherein the continuous spectrum white light pulse generated from
an ultra-short optical pulse is used in a simple manner. By a system according to the invention,
continuous spectrum white light pulses generated by converging ultra-short optical pulses on a
point in a transparent substance 23 are dispersed into a spectrum of light by a dispersing
element 25, and a plurality of objective wavelength components are separately selected by small
reflection mirrors 37, masked mirrors or the like. The selected objective wavelength
components are combined by the dispersing element 25 into a composite optical pulse
containing the objective wavelength components. The composite optical pulse is irradiated onto
the bio-sample 28 or other samples, whereby only the desired fluorescent substances are excited
by the objective wavelength components corresponding to them. The selected objective
wavelength components may preferably have different light path lengths. By this construction,
the component optical pulses corresponding to the objective wavelengths in the composite
optical pulse are separated from each other, so that the noise due to the interference of different
wavelength components is prevented.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention allocates a coordinate point of target image data on a color space to multiple lattice points in a color conversion table and reads data stored at the multiple lattice points. This arrangement ensures high-speed color conversion of the target image data. The procedure selects multiple lattice points and allocates a coordinate point of one target image data to the selected multiple lattice points. The procedure then specifies color-converted image data corresponding to the target image data, based on data read from the multiple lattice points. A first application allocates the target image data to the coordinate points of the multiple lattice points arbitrarily selected in the vicinity of the target image data. A second application allocates N-dimensional target image data to the coordinate points of multiple but not greater than N lattice points. A third application calculates an arithmetic mean of the data read from the multiple lattice points to specify the color-converted image data. Any of these arrangement effectively enhances the conversion accuracy without increasing the size of the color conversion table.

Abstract: A device provided with a fuel injector and a reservoir for temporarily storing the fuel to be fed to the fuel injector. Fuel is injected at least two times in one engine cycle. Pulsation of fuel occurring in the fuel injector due to a prior fuel injection is propagated to the reservoir, reflected at the reservoir, and returns to the fuel injector. Due to the effects of the returned pulsation, the fuel injection amount in the later fuel injection fluctuates. The opening timing of the fuel injector and the fuel injection pressure are employed as parameters affecting the fuel injection amount in the later fuel injection, the amounts of fluctuation of the parameters due to the pulsation are estimated, and a control value relating to the operation of the fuel injector is controlled based on the estimated amounts of fluctuation of the parameters so that a target amount of fuel is injected from the fuel injector.
