Patent EP-1624196-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HASHIMOTO ATSUNORI
IPC: F04D29/54
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A shroud includes a ring portion (210) surrounding a radial outer rim of an axial flow fan (100) for blowing air, and an air introducing part (220), for introducing air to the ring portion (210), enlarged from the ring portion (210) towards upstream in the airflow. The fan is located opposite to a heat exchanger (1) positioned upstream of the fan (100) in the airflow, and a center of the ring portion (210) is eccentric with respect to a center of the air introducing part (220). In the shroud, an airflow regulating plate (221) protrudes toward an upstream side of the airflow and forms a circular arc shape concentric with the ring portion (210) within a larger-area part (220a) of the air introducing part (220), which is formed due to the eccentrically located ring portion (210). Therefore, the first noise component of fan rotation noise can be effectively reduced without reducing an air amount passing through a heat exchanger.

Security within the computer infrastructure is typically provided through encryption such as 128 bit encryption. Moreover, all actions taken with respect to the contract (e.g., approval, execution, etc.) occur within the infrastructure and are recorded so that a record can be provided. Any party taking action will first be authenticated before access to the infrastructure is granted. In order for the contract to be electronically executed, both the originating contract partner and the receiving contract partner must first deliberately approve the contract. Once approval has been obtained, the contract can be electronically executed by both parties. After execution is complete, a final image of the contract is generated that includes the electronic signatures and the date of execution.

Abstract: Spikes, which have a non-circular cross-section foot, enter an aligning unit(7) randomly and leave with the foot section in front via a tube(9) with a cross-section matching that of a spike foot. The tube connects with a pistol(6) for injecting spikes into a tire tread. The spike transporting channel(6b) in the pistol also has a cross-section matching that of the spike foot. Vibrated of the alignment unit(7) assist spike movement into and out of the latter. Movement through the tube may be assisted by vacuum. The alignment unit is connected to a spike storage chamber(5), in particular a vibration feeding chamber, either directly or by a tubular feed line. The alignment unit may transport spikes using uncontroled vibration and has either: a) a recess in the transporting path with side guide strips on which spikes are suspended by their feet or b) a guide in the transporting path with shoulders on which spike feet are suspended and spacing of the shoulders reduces along the guide so that vibrations align the foot of each spike. A variation of the alignment unit has an inlet channel with a cross-section capable of receiving feet in any alignment and an outlet channel with a cross-section matched to that of the spike feet. A rotating or reciprocating member between the inlet and outlet channels has a passage for spike feet similar to the cross-section of the outlet channel. A further form of the alignment unit has an aligning channel with a continuously changing cross-section whose inlet allows entry of spikes with randomly oriented feet and an outlet cross-section matching that of a spike foot.

Abstract: A reflective process algebra called the ρ-calculus facilitates the serialization of processes at the level of the reflective process algebra. The reflective process algebra because of its reflective properties, can be used on computing systems with finite resources. The reflective process calculus can be made to be sensitive to resources, such as memory and bandwidth, hence facilitating its use as a programming language at the machine level. The reflective process calculus causes the dual nature of a computation entity to be exposed. A name can be caused to become a process and a process can be caused to become a name.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for generating a digital video signal from an analog input video signal, which prevents picture jitter in the digitized video signal when the analog input video signal is not in complete conformity with a standard. 
According to the invention, the method includes the steps of: 
- detecting (1) the type of signal source; 
- in case the type of signal source is a non-standard type, detecting (2) the existence of an error state; 
- converting (3) the analog input video signal to a digital video signal; 
- in case an error state exists, replacing (4) an error prone part of the digitized video signal with a substitute signal part; and 
- in case the type of signal source is a standard type or no error state exists, keeping the digitized video signal unchanged.
