Title: Process for the manufacture of sandwich structures
IPC: B29C44/12
Filed: 1991-03-13
Abstract: A low density element, formed by a three-dimensional web (1) composed of two sheets of fabric connected mutually by filaments disposed substantially perpendicular to the lying plane of the said fabric sheets, is impregnated with resin, and after having been subjected to a pre-hardening or pre-curing treatment of the resin, is introduced into a mold (11) for the final curing of the resin. Between the two sheets of the three-dimensional web in the mold a pressurized expandible fluid or pressurised gas is fed, before the final curing. The three-dimensional web may be covered, before its introduction into the mold, with two resistant outer sheets of fabric impregnated with resin. Hollow passages for cables, ducts can be formed. <IMAGE>

Title: Vertically perforated lightweight brick
Inventor: RIMMELE RAIMUND
IPC: E04B2/14
Filed: 1993-05-07
Abstract: The invention proposes a vertically perforated lightweight brick having a perforation pattern comprising perforations which form a plurality of perforation rows, extending in the longitudinal direction and are separated from one another by webs (6). In order to achieve an improved coefficient of thermal conduction and to reduce the longitudinal conduction of sound, the combination of the following features is proposed: thickness of the webs (6) </= 3.4 mm, ratio of the largest and smallest internal width of the perforation cross-section is between 1 : 1 and 1 : 2, spacing (a) of the perforation rows </= 17 mm, proportion of perforations >/= 60 % and relative density of the clay body </= 1.6 kg/dm<3>. Hexagonal perforations with corners directed towards the side walls (5) and a fibrous pore-forming agent are to be preferred. The abutment surfaces are to be configured such that they are essentially mirror-symmetrical with respect to one another, with the result that protrusions (8) rest against one another and the depressions (9) together form a cavity (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data buffering device (33) is positionable between communicating
processors (21, 22). At least one of the processors is battery powered and
is arranged to be placed in a stand-by condition when not required to process
information, thereby reducing overall power consumption. 
     The data buffering device includes data storage locations (34,41) and means
(42, 43) for addressing these locations to effect the transfer of data to or
from the memory locations. In addition, interrupting means (42, F1, F2, G1)
are provided for generating interrupt signals arranged to interrupt at least one
of the processors. Thus, upon receiving an interrupt signal, a communicating
processor is switched from its stand-by mode to an active mode and data
transfer is effected. 
     Data transfer may take place in both directions and respective buffering
means, with respective interrupt signal generating means, are provided. The
device may be used in a mobile cellular telephone, positioned between a
controller and a digital signal processor.

Abstract: A thin-plate supporting container provided with
supporting rib portions, each of which consists of multi-stage
rib pieces, for supporting thin plates respectively
on multiple stages at regular intervals. The supporting
rib portions are provided on each of side walls of a
casing of the container in parallel in such a way that
each of the supporting rib portions provided on one of
the side walls and a corresponding one of the supporting
rib portions provided on the other of the side walls face
each other and sandwich the thin plate. An opening
portion of the thin-plate supporting container is an
inlet/outlet port, through which the thin plate is loaded
or unloaded from the container. Each of the supporting
rib portions is composed of an inlet portion placed at
the inlet/outlet-port-side thereof and a matching portion
placed at an inner part thereof. Further, the opening
between opposed side surfaces of each of the rib pieces
placed at the inlet portions is set as being large so
that the thin plate can be easily loaded and unloaded.
The rib piece placed at the matching portion of each of
the supporting rib portions is formed in such a manner
that an angle of inclination of an upper side surface, on
which the thin plate is put, of the rib piece placed at
the matching portion thereof is smaller than an angle of
inclination of an upper side surface of the rib piece
placed at the inlet portion thereof so that the thin 
plate can be supported accurately in a horizontal
position when the thin plate is put thereon and that the
upper side surface of the rib piece placed at the
matching portion thereof can come into point-contact or
line-contact with an end portion of the thin plate.

Abstract: An optical head apparatus includes a light
source, an objective lens, a beam splitter, a refocusing
lens, a pinhole, and a photodetector. The objective
lens and the beam splitter focus light emitted from the
light source on an information recording medium. The
objective lens, the beam splitter, and the refocusing
lens refocus light reflected by the information
recording medium and have a light-receiving numerical
aperture which is larger than a light-focusing numerical
aperture of the objective lens. The pinhole extracts
only a central portion of light focused by the objective
lens, the beam splitter, and the refocusing lens. The
photodetector receives and detects light extracted by
the pinhole.

Abstract: A connector system is provided which enables a first connector (12, Fig. 6),
especially a rectangular one, to be quickly mated and unmated from a second
connector device (14), by turning a handle (74) lying rearward of the first connector,
where the handle is readily accessible to turn despite the first connector
lying closely adjacent to other connectors along a row. A bayonet nut (60) lies
between two sets of contacts (16, 18) of a rectangular connector, at the front of
the connector housing, with a shaft arrangement (84) extending rearwardly
from the nut and having a handle (74) that can be turned to turn the nut to
couple to bayonet thread pins (64) of a mating connector device. The shaft
arrangement includes a first shaft (80) that is fixed to the bayonet nut (60) and
a second shaft (82) that is fixed to the handle (74) and that is rotatably connected
to the first shaft but that can be moved rearwardly to move the handle

Abstract: A printer (2) sends a calibration request to a computer (1) upon
sensing the need for calibration. Upon receiving the
calibration request, the computer supplies the printer with
data (logical density values) for a grayscale correction.
On the basis of the grayscale correction data, the printer
forms a sample image, measures the density (actual density
values) of the sample image and notifies the computer of the
actual density values. On the basis of the logical density
values and actual density values, the computer creates a
grayscale correction table (16) (executes calibration) serving
as a rule for correcting the tonality of image information.
When printing is performed, the computer corrects the
tonality of the image information based upon the grayscale
correction table and supplies the corrected results to the
printer.

Abstract: A simplified crack stop formation compatible with shallow fuse etch 
processes which are utilized for modern low-cost redundancy designs using
