Title: Afficheur d'image a panneau plat
Inventor: BROER DIRK JAN
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un afficheur (1) d'image à panneau plat comprenant un panneau afficheur (3) d'image permettant de moduler, de façon à respecter l'image à afficher, l'état de polarisation de la lumière polarisée se couplant dans le panneau. La polarisation de la lumière se fait au moyen d'un polariseur à réflexion (31) intégré ou non au panneau afficheur (3) d'image. Une partie au moins du panneau afficheur (3) d'image fonctionne comme un guide d'onde optique, principalement pour la composante b2 du faisceau dont l'état de polarisation ne convient pas à la modulation. Au niveau d'une première surface (25) du panneau afficheur d'image (3) se trouve un analyseur (27). Au niveau d'une seconde surface (29) du panneau afficheur (3) d'image se trouvent les organes de polarisation sous forme de polariseurs à réflexion (31), cette seconde surface étant disposée à l'opposé de la première surface (25). Au niveau de la surface du polariseur (35), et à distance du panneau afficheur (3) d'image, se trouve un système (33) dirigeant la lumière servant à envoyer vers cette surface (35) la lumière quittant le panneau afficheur (3) d'image, et ce, sans contribuer de nouveau à la formation de l'image sur le panneau afficheur (3) d'image , de façon que la lumière ait encore une chance d'être convertie en lumière se trouvant dans l'état de polarisation voulu.

Abstract: Système comportant au moins une cale à crémaillère montée pivotante et basculante par l'une des extrémités sur un ensemble à broche et traverse, situé entre au moins une crémaillère de pied et la coque de la plate-forme. L'autre extrémité de la cale à crémaillère est reliée au bâti du vérin par un ensemble actionneur. L'ensemble à broche et traverse est monté coulissant à l'intérieur d'un organe de guidage afin de permettre aux dents de la cale à crémaillère de venir en prise avec les dents de la crémaillère du pied sans contrôle visuel ni commande manuelle. L'ensemble actionneur relié à l'autre extrémité de la cale à crémaillère commande le mouvement oscillant de celle-ci, son engrènement avec la crémaillère du pied et son écartement de cette dernière. Une paire de vérins déplace des coins supérieur et inférieur à faces inclinables convergeant sur les faces supérieure et inférieure de la membrure de la crémaillère, de manière à obtenir une surface optimale pour stopper le déplacement de la cale à crémaillère par rapport à la crémaillère du pied. Par conséquent, la charge subie par le bâti du vérin est transférée aux pieds, et les moments de renversement sont transférés des pieds audit bâti. Les contraintes subies par les surfaces accouplées de ce système et la crémaillère du pied sont minimisées car, dans ce système, l'entrée en prise s'effectue sous l'effet de la charge d'inertie de la cale à crémaillère, étant donné l'action de pivotement à action de forçage minimale de l'ensemble actionneur.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a plasma addressed display device which can adaptively control a voltage to be applied to each discharge channel, thereby suppressing an excess applied voltage. The plasma addressed display device includes a flat panel as a display. The flat panel has a laminated structure consisting of a plasma cell having a plurality of rows of discharge channels and a display cell having a plurality of columns of signal electrodes. A drive circuit sequentially supplies an applied voltage to a cathode in each discharge channel to generate a plasma discharge, thereby performing line-sequential scanning. A signal circuit supplies an image signal to each signal electrode in synchronism with the line-sequential scanning. A constant-current circuit operates so that a constant discharge current flows after the generation of the plasma discharge in each discharge channel. A detecting circuit samples a discharge voltage during flowing of the constant discharge current in each discharge channel. A control circuit adaptively controls the applied voltage to be supplied to each discharge channel according to the sampled discharge voltage.

Abstract: The fluid is drawn by vacuum into a collecting container which is formed as a disposable bag (B) set in a rigid outer container (1) with air-tight closable lid (2) which fits on the container and has a connection for the suction pipe and a connection for a suction source. The disposable bag has a rigid top part (5) which can be attached from underneath to the container lid. The rigid top part has an inlet for airtight connection with the suction pipe connector and on the other side a secondary opening closed by a gas-permeable membrane. The connector of the lid with the suction source opens freely into the section of the container above the rigid top part so that at the start of the suction action first the space between the bag outside wall and inside wall of the container is evacuated. Thus the flexible bag wall expands towards the container wall and only then is the suction action introduced through the membrane in the inside of the bag and thus in the suction pipe.

Abstract: A storage control enables data on various storage media to be shared among host computers having various different host computer input/output interfaces. A control processor (305) checks a host computer interface management table (319) when write is requested by a host computer (HCP) (300). The control processor (305) writes write data in a cache slot (312) of the cache memory (309) without converting the format if the data format of the HCP (300) is in an FBA format and it converts the format into the FBA format and writes it when the data format of HCP (300) is in a CKD format. The processor (305) checks a table (319) when read is requested by HCP (300). If the data format of HCP (300) is FBA, the processor transfers the read data read from the cache slot (312) without converting it and if it is CKD, the processor converts the format into the FBA format and transfers the format converted data. The control processors (310, 311) retrieve write data in the cache memory and writes it in a drive.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing tubular items, such as
hosiery items or the like, with a single-cylinder circular
machine, the method comprising a first step, during which
the needle cylinder (20) is rotated alternately about its
own axis (20a) with at least one forward movement and one
return movement, for moving the needles (5) of one half of
the needle cylinder (20) and the hooks (2) of the overlying
semicircular plate (1) so that they pass in front of a feed
(7) of the machine. During this first step, the hooks (2) of
the semicircular plate (1) are extracted so as to form a
support for the thread (8) dispensed at the feed (7). The
underlying needles are actuated so as to take up the thread
(8) alternately with inactive needles (B), swapping the
actuated needles (A) with inactive needles (B) when the
motion of the needle cylinder(20) is reversed. The hooks (2)
are then retracted into the semicircular plate (1),
retaining the engaged thread (8) while the machine is
actuated so as to produce heel knitting with the needles of
the half of the needle cylinder that have taken up the
thread (8). After heel knitting, the semicircular plate (1)
is folded over about a diametrical axis (4) so that its
hooks (2), which have retained the thread (8), face the
needles (6) of the other half of the needle cylinder (20).
The hooks (2) are then extracted from the semicircular plate
(1) and the needles of the other half of the needle cylinder 
(20) are also actuated, while the cylinder is rotated
continuously about its own axis (20a) so as to form loops
(12) of knitting by means of the needles of the other half
of the needle cylinder; these loops (12) mesh with the
thread (8) carried by the hooks (2), which are then
retracted into the semicircular plate (1) in order to
release the previously held and transferred thread. The
machine is then actuated in order to complete the item,
which is thus produced with an end which is closed directly
on the machine.

Abstract: The housing has two plates (20,21) which are held together by a wall (22) formed from a plastic material. At one end (23) of the housing, the wall can move between the side plates under the influence of internal pressure. As the wall moves, it uncovers a hole (25) allowing internal pressure to be released. As the pressure is released the wall retracts, recovering the hole and sealing the interior of the battery against entry of external air. To avoid excessive displacement of this part of the wall, a stop block (30) is fitted at the outer edges of the space between the side plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double action pawl latch
having a tubular latch body 10,20 for attachment to a door,
panel or the like, and having an enlarged head 11 for
abutment against a front surface of the door or panel. An
actuating spindle 50 and a pawl operating spindle 60 are
axially and rotationally disposed in the latch body and are
movable relative to one another under the action of a
helical cam connection between the actuating spindle and the
pawl operating spindle. The pawl operating spindle 60 has
a pawl 40 attached thereto at its rear end and the tubular
latch body and the pawl having an engagement which allows
rotation of the pawl from a first angular position in a
first axial position of the pawl and axial movement of the
pawl to a second axial position in a second angular position
of the pawl. The enlarged head 11 of the tubular latch body
has an aperture 100 for insertion of a radially profiled key
200, the aperture having a plurality of radial key slots 101
extending therefrom. These allow insertion of corresponding
radial protrusions 202 on the key and thus insertion of the
key. The actuating spindle 50 has a plurality of part-annular
abutments 55 at a front portion 52, defining a
plurality of radial key slots 56 corresponding in position
with those of the latch body head for engagement by the key
protrusions 202 to allow operation of the latch. The radial
key slots 101,56 of the latch body head 11 and the actuating
spindle 50 are angularly offset from one another when the
latch is in the latched position so that on insertion
through the head the key protrusions 202 engage the front
surfaces 55' of the abutments 55 of the actuating spindle
50 and thus cannot be inserted directly into the key slots
of the actuating spindle. The latch body head 11 has a
part-annular abutment 102 extending from its rear to (a)
allow partial rotation of the key 200 after insertion of the
key protrusions 202 through the key slots 101 of the head 
into alignment with the key slots 56 of the actuating
spindle to enable insertion of the protrusions into the
actuating spindle key slots, and (b) prevent withdrawal of
the key protrusions 202 and hence the key 200 during
rotation of the key to operate the actuating spindle 50 to
unlatch the latch.

Abstract: The mounting rail, fixed horizontally on e.g. a wall (MM'), is of U-section with top (54) and bottom (55) flanges. The case comprises e.g. a long moulded hollow box fronted by a printed-circuit board carrying several modular interface units and closed by screwed-on end-plates. Along the rear of the box moulding runs a full-length horizontal rebate with a bottom groove (24c) and an upper slide-way chamber (70), opening downwards. Into the latter, at each end, is inserted a leaf spring with a shallow recumbent-S profile. With the slide-way hooked over the rail top, the box is pressed down, deflecting the springs. The lower rail flange can then enter the channel groove (24c). The angled end of the spring discourages lateral movement.

Abstract: The method involves formation of a second binary matrix via systematic block codes, from a first matrix of input data. A number of values in this derived matrix are not transmitted, the receiver then filling the spaces with samples whose absolute values represent minimum confidence levels. The method is implemented with a coder/decoder which includes a dedicated logical circuit (65) controlled by a processor (66). A RAM (67) is used to store samples from the input signal and decoded values. Samples of the input signal are directed by the processor to the RAM where an input array is generated. A data array and a decision array are also generated and stored at suitable addresses. Each elementary decoding stage consists in reading the corresponding values of the three arrays R, R, D and writing into the memory the new values of the arrays R and D. After a number of 'm' cycles the processor delivers an output signal.
