Abstract: A photo film cassette has a spool core (26) about which
photo film (12) is wound in a form of a roll. A cassette
shell (11) contains the spool core in a rotatable manner.
Two flanges (27, 28, 66, 67, 127, 128) have a disk shape, and
are secured to respective ends of the spool core, for regulating
lateral edges of the roll of the photo film. A circumferential
lip (27b, 28c, 66b, 67b, 127b, 128c) is disposed
on each flange, is extended toward the opposite one of the
flanges, wraps one of the lateral edges of an outermost turn
of the photo film of the roll, and prevents the photo film
from being loosened. A rim portion (8a, 8b, 58a, 68a, 78a)
is disposed on an circular edge of the circumferential lip
confronted with the opposite one of the flanges, to project
with a bend away from the spool core. A contact face (9a,
9b, 59a, 69a, 79a) is disposed on the rim portion, and contacts
the one of the lateral edges of the photo film when the
photo film is unwound from the spool core or wound back about
the spool core. The contact face has a contact range of
0.15-0.8 mm in contacting the one of the lateral edges of the
photo film.

Abstract: A compressor having a crank chamber (15) in which a
large amount of lubricating oil is constantly maintained.
The compressor includes a pressurizing passage (48) through
which refrigerant gas flows from a discharge chamber (39) to
the crank chamber (15). A displacement control valve (49)
varies the displacement of the compressor by adjusting the
flow in the pressurizing passage (48) thereby changing the
pressure in the crank chamber (15) and altering the
inclination of a swash plate (21). The compressor further
includes a bleeding passage (47). An oil separator (61) is
arranged in the bleeding passage (47) to separate
lubricating oil from the refrigerant gas flowing through the
bleeding passage (47). The oil separator (61) and the crank
chamber (15) are connected to each other by a recovery
passage (67), through which the separated lubricating oil is
returned to the crank chamber (15), and a pressurizing
passage (48). A venturi tube (63) is employed to help
transfer oil from the oil separator to the crank chamber
(15).

Abstract: To reduce the force necessary to anchor the double "T"
bar attachments, the filament (28) of each attachment is made
longer than the shortest (perpendicular) distance between the
"T" bars (24:26) to avoid the necessity of stretching the
filament (28) beyond its original length as it is dispensed.
The filament (28) lies in the same plane as the "T" bars to
permit it to be fabricated on conventional stretching
equipment. Preferably, each end of the filament is formed at
an acute angle relative to a line (33) perpendicular to the
"T" bar to which it is attached. The attachments can be
supplied in continuously connected ladder stock form (Fig. 12)
or in a clip of parallel spaced attachments (Fig. 1), situated
between connector bars. In clip form, the attachments are fed
along a correspondingly shaped channel (18) through the
housing (10:12). In order to reduce the peak force necessary
to sever the "T" bars from the respective connector bars,
blades (60:62) are located within the housing such that they
cut at different times during the trigger stroke (Fig. 4).

Abstract: A joint prosthesis system includes first and second components that are joinable to one
another in a manner to permit axial rotation of one component relative to the other component
while achieving axial securement of the two components. In one embodiment the joint
prosthesis system is a knee joint prosthesis and the two components are a tibial tray and a tibial
bearing insert. The tibial bearing insert includes a mating stem that has one or more positive
surface features on its exterior surface. The positive surface features mate with axial slot(s)
formed in a mating cavity of the tibial tray to enable insertion of the mating stem within the
mating cavity. Upon insertion the positive surface features are engaged by a circumferential
groove disposed distally of the axial slot(s). Misalignment of the positive surface features and
the axial slot(s) enables proper orientation of the tibial tray and tibial bearing insert, and
provides axial securement of the two components.

Abstract: A battery charging system enables rapid recharging of a working battery
without immediate access to ac power and without the need for current limit and/or
overvoltage protection. The battery charging system makes use of a charging battery
having a number of cells that is greater than the number of cells in the working battery.
The charging battery produces a charging current that is proportional to the difference in
the number of cells in each battery. In this manner, the battery recharging system is
capable of rapidly recharging the working battery. The number of cells in the charging
battery is selected, however, such that the series voltage of the charging battery cells is
less than or equal to the maximum rated voltage of the working battery. Thus, the
voltage of the charging battery is greater than the operating voltage of the working battery
but less than or equal to the maximum voltage rating of the working battery. As a result,
the charging battery is generally incapable of overcharging the working battery, and
therefore does not require current limit and/or overvoltage protection circuitry.

Abstract: In the communication system performing transmission with
generating the vacant period in the slotted mode during data
transmission in order to perform various process, such as
different frequency carrier quality measurement or so forth,
the control signal for maintaining a communication quality
is inserted even in the vacant period. Therefor, a link quality
may not be degraded even if the vacant period is long. 
     Namely, when the pilot signal is used as the control
signal, even in the vacant period, measurement of the link
quality of the forward link with the pilot signal is performed
in the mobile station to report the result of measurement to
the base station. Therefore, transmission power control of
the forward link can be performed according to the report in
the base station. Therefore, degradation of the forward link
can be eliminated.

Abstract: In a pay broadcasting system, data of a broadcast program is
scrambled with a scramble key updated in a short period. The scramble key is
encrypted with a first key assigned to the subscriber terminal. The first key is
encrypted with a first master key set in the subscriber terminal. The security of
a broadcast program stored for subsequent use in the subscriber terminal is
enhanced as follows. A central station generates a second key-encrypted
scramble key by encrypting the scramble key with a second key different from
the first key and changeable in an interval shorter than a update interval of the
first key; generates an encrypted second key by encrypting the second key with
a second master key which has been commonly issued to subscriber terminals
of the system; and broadcast the second key-encrypted scramble key and the
encrypted second key together with the scrambled data of the program, the first
key-encrypted scramble key and the encrypted first key in a multiplexed
manner. When a broadcast program is to be stored, the subscriber terminal
stores the scrambled data of the broadcast program and the second key-encrypted
scramble key; decrypt the encrypted second key with the second
master key into the second key, which is added to a stored program second key
list. If the stored program is to be executed, the second key-encrypted scramble
key is decrypted with a corresponding one of the second keys in the stored
program second key list into a decrypted scramble key; and the scrambled data
of the broadcast program is unscrambled with the decrypted scramble key.

Abstract: The crosstalk-inhibiting arrangement is used on a switching cell
(84 and 128) in which an optical signal from an input waveguide (60, 62, 64,
108, 110 and 112) is alternatingly directed to first output waveguides (72, 74,
76, 94, 122 and 130) and second output waveguides (66, 68, 70, 96, 114,
116 and 118), depending upon whether there is fluid in a region between the
input waveguide and the first output waveguide. The fluid has a refractive
index selected to promote propagation of light energy through the fluid. However,
in the absence of fluid, the light is reflected toward a second switching
mechanism (88 and 126) via an intermediate waveguide (92 and 132). The
intermediate waveguide is at an angle greater than 90° relative to the input
waveguide. The second switching mechanism is also fluid-manipulable
and is used to inhibit leakage reflection from passing to the second output
waveguide. Preferably, the angle between the intermediate waveguide and
the input waveguide is in the range of 95° to 150°.
