Patent JP-S5026805-B2 (JP)
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 1973-01-17
Abstract: This invention relates to a railway car hand brake apparatus having a spring-biased friction clutch to provide for automatic change from high to low speed drive of a driven member by a drive member upon engagement of the brake shoes with the tread surface of the corresponding wheels in response to the manual rotation of a hand brake wheel. Until the brake shoes engage the tread surface of the wheels, the driven member, which carries thereon a drum upon which a hand brake chain is wound, is driven at fast speed through the friction clutch from the drive member that constitutes a drive shaft and a hand wheel keyed thereto. Slippage of the clutch occurs upon the shoes engaging the tread surface of the wheels, whereupon the drum is driven at a slow speed through a gear train interposed between the driven member to which the drum is keyed and the drive shaft.

Title: Low differential 3-D viewer glasses and method with spectral transmission characteristics to control relative intensities
Inventor: BEARD TERRY D
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 1988-03-29
Granted: 1990-11-08
Abstract: A method for creating a 3-D television effect is disclosed in which a scene is recorded with a relative lateral movement between the scene and the recording mechanism (2). The recording is played back and viewed through a pair of viewer glasses (46) in which one of the lenses (18) is darker and has a spectral transmission characterized by a reduced transmissivity at at least one, and preferably all three, of the television's peak radiant energy wavebands. The lighter lens (20), on the other hand, has a spectral transmission characterized by a reduced transmissivity at wavelengths removed from the television energy peaks. The result is a substantially greater effective optical density differential between the two lenses when viewing television than in normal ambient light. This produces a very noticeable 3-D effect for television scenes with the proper movement, while avoiding the prior "dead eye" effect associated with too great a density differential in ordinary light. Further enhancement is achieved by providing the darker lens (18) with a higher transmissivity in the blue and red regions than in the yellow or green regions.

Title: Method of and apparatus for successively recording efm- modulated signals
Inventor: ROTH RUDOLF
IPC: G11B7/013
Filed: 1989-01-18
Granted: 1993-08-05
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for recording a first and a second EFM-modulated signal is described, which signals comprise EFM-subcode frames, the beginning of each EFM-subcode frame being marked by a subcode-synchronisation signal. In the track portion of a record carrier (1) intended for recording position-synchronisation signals are recorded by means of a track modulation which can be distinguished from the information pattern to be formed. During recording the subcode-synchronisation signals are maintained substantially in phase with the position-synchronisation signals (11), so that the track portions (14) in which the subcode-synchronisation signals are recorded substantially coincide with the track portions (140) in which the position-synchronisation signals are recorded. Recording of the first EFM-modulated signal (142) ends at a boundary position (144) which is situated at a predetermined position between the track portions (140) in which two successive position-synchronisation signals are recorded. Recording of the second EFM-modulated signal (143) begins substantially at the predetermined boundary position (144).

Title: Combination of a container and a safety cap therefor
Inventor: AKERS EDWARD G
IPC: B65D41/06
Filed: 1995-06-28
Granted: 1998-01-15
Abstract: The combination of a container and a safety cap therefor in which the safety cap has a closure plane and a circumferential outer skirt for engaging a container and has a circumferential resilient depending inner member. The container has a rigid wall having an end for engagement with the cap internally of the outer skirt. The wall is tapered from a smaller diameter portion adjacent the closure plane of the cap to a larger diameter portion remote from the closure plane of the cap. The tapered wall of the container engages internally the resilient inner member of the cap and the larger diameter portion of the wall expands the resilient inner member outwardly to provide a working seal of the container as well as a bias on the cap in a direction of removal of the cap. The combination also includes means disposed on the container remotely from the end of the rigid wall and cooperative means on the cap for preventing the cap from being removed from the container without depression of the cap on the container and rotation of the cap on the container. When the container is used as a bottle, the container preferably includes means for providing a tamper evident seal, whereby it will be obvious that the contents have been sealed with a material protecting the contents of the container. Any penetration of the seal prior to the removal and destruction of the seal by the user will be evidence of the lack of integrity of the contents of the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature compensated timer for a heating appliance that heats a food item during a heating cycle. The timer includes a coil (312) having first and second terminals and presenting a resistance between the terminals that is a function of temperature changes of the coil. A timing circuit is coupled to the first and second terminals of the coil. The timing circuit operates to drive a current through the coil to maintain a heating cycle and to generate a delay signal a delay time after the heating cycle is initiated. The delay time has a value that is a function of the resistance of the coil. The delay signal is operable to remove the current from the coil to terminate the heating cycle. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2004-03-11
Abstract: A suture clip (24) comprises a body (26) having a tubular portion (27) and a flared portion (28) with a bore (29) extending through the body (26). A suture is formed by threading the leading part (18) of a loop of suture material through tissue (22) and the trailing part (20) of the loop. Once the suture has been formed, the suture clip (24) is brought into position by threading the leading part (18) through the bore (29) until the tubular portion (27) surrounds two sections (30A and 30B) of the loop of suture material. The suture clip (24) is secured in position by crushing the tubular part (27) in order to prevent the suture from unravelling. The peripheral surface (32) of the flared portion (28) provides a stop, preventing the trailing part (20) from riding over the clip.

Title: Electromagnetic array profiling survey method
Inventor: BOSTICK FRANICS X JR
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 1989-11-23
Granted: 1991-03-07
Abstract: An electromagnetic survey method for geophysical exploration, in which the variations in the earth's magnetic field are measured in two, non-parallel directions at one point in the survey area. Simultaneously, the variations in the earth's electrical field parallel to the survey line are measured at a number of points along the survey line. These measured variations are transformed to the frequency domain, and then the horizontal component of the magnetic field orthogonal to the direction of the measured electrical field is calculated. The impedance at each measurement point on the survey line is calculated as a function of frequency, and weighted averages of the impedances for predetermined frequencies using a zero phase length weight function corresponding to a low pass filter applied to the electric field are used to calculate the subsurface conductivity distribution.

The 16,17-dihydroGA's are used to synergize the biological activity of exogenously supplied gibberellins. Particularly in graminaceous species, the compounds synergize the action of exogenous GA's and can, thus, be used to increase the yield of malt and decrease the amount of time required for the malting process, increase the yield of sugar cane and stimulate germination and seedling development in rice, wheat, barley, oats, rye, maize, sorghum, turf grasses and other plant species.
