Patent EP-0819997-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOLMES THOMAS JOSEPH
IPC: B64G1/36
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: An active attitude control system for a spacecraft utilizes four flywheels (10, 11, 12, 13), at a minimum, which can selectively provide options of fully redundant momentum bias, ¾ redundant momentum bias, or fully redundant zero momentum bias. A plurality of reaction wheels (11, 12, 13) are mounted on the spacecraft and rotatable on spin axes (111, 112, 113) in a fixed configuration for together maintaining full three-axis (x, y, z) control of the spacecraft to a predetermined attitude. A momentum wheel (10) is also rotatable on the spacecraft about the first axis (x) for maintaining qyroscopic stiffness. In the event of a failure of the momentum wheel (10), the reaction wheels (11, 12, 13) may have a combined angular momentum sufficient to maintain the gyroscopic stiffness lost by the failure of the momentum wheel while maintaining full three-axis control of the spacecraft to a predetermined attitude. In one embodiment, the reaction wheels (11, 12, 13) are mounted in a fixed trihedral configuration, a first reaction wheel (11) being rotatable about a spin axis (111) which lies in a plane of the first and second axes (x, y), and second and third reaction wheels (12, 13) being rotatable about spin axes (112, 113) which lie in a plane of the first axis (x) and are oblique to the second and third axes (y, z). In each instance, the spin axis (111, 112, 113) intersects the first axis (x). Also, each of the first, second, and third spin axes (111, 112, 113) is tilted away from the first axis (x) through an angle of 0 1 , and the second spin axis (112) is tilted 0 2  away from the first spin axis (111) measured in a plane of the second and third axes (x, y), and the third spin axis (113) is tilted 0 3  away from the first spin axis (111) measured in a plane of the second and third axes (x, y).

Abstract: This fuel injection device changes stepwise the
effective opening area of the exhaust opening that
releases the fuel pressure in the balance chamber, in
order to control the lift velocity of the needle valve
to give flexibility to the pattern of the initial fuel
injection rate. The fuel injection device of this
invention switches the current value applied to the
solenoid(35) between the large and the small value to
change the distance traveled by the solenoid valve(5)
and thereby change the opening degree of the exhaust
port(33) that releases the fuel pressure in the balance
chamber(30). Because the return spring mechanism
having plural springs, the magnitudes of current
necessary to be applied to the solenoid(35) to move the
solenoid valve(5) are clearly differentiated. This
reduces variations in the process of releasing the fuel
pressure in the balance chamber(30), assuring a stable
fuel injection rate control. Further, if the amount of
current is changed while the needle valve is being
lifted, the initial fuel injection rate can be
controlled in many ways.

Abstract: The objective of the invention is to make high-efficiency
compressed coding for images. In coding of video signals in this
application example, the edge is extracted in a frame of the input
image in block 10. In block 11, classification is made into blocks
where edge is present and blocks free of edge. In block 12, for
the block where edge is present, based on the correlation between
the edge direction and the distribution of the DCT coefficients,
the optimum scanning order is determined and coding is performed
by the scanning order.

interfaces to other layers and Work Centers. This is
achieved by providing at least one hot standby system
which replaces the malfunctioning system in the event
of any disruption in services. The network element

Abstract: A vehicle occupant restraint having an adjustable web
tether utilizes a first section of webbing that is tautly
positioned between the vehicle floor and an upper mounting
location. A second section of webbing extends from a
floor-mounted (or wall- or seat-mounted) emergency locking
retractor (ELR) and through a turning point at the upper
mounting location, after which the second webbing section
transitions to a shoulder belt for the occupant. In order
to provide a pivot point for the shoulder belt, an
adjustable web tether is mounted to the first webbing
section and captures the second webbing section in sliding
engagement by means of a ring. The ring of the web tether
therefore provides a pivot point for the shoulder strap.
The vertical position of the web tether upon the first
webbing section is adjustable, so that the height of the
shoulder strap pivot point, and therefore the trajectory of
the shoulder strap across the occupant, is adjustable.

Abstract: A drug comprising either a peptide having the LH-RH
action or an LH-RH antagonist is carried on an intrauterine
contraceptive device (IUD) so as to be able to provide
controlled release. Once the IUD is put in the uterus, the
carried drug is gradually released over such a prolonged
period of treatment time as, for example, several months to
be continuously absorbed through the uterus mucosa or the
vagina mucosa. This construction makes it possible to
reduce the patient's pain and such a troublesomeness as
frequent drug administration and continuously administer a
necessary drug over a prolonged period of time while taking

by projecting the fall in the etching rate at the
outer peripheral portion of the wafer and forming the
outer peripheral portion of the wafer thinner in
advance before plasma etching the entire surface of

flattened by the same. The wafer flattening system is

apparatus 2 are provided. The outer peripheral portion
Wb of a wafer W held by a carrier (11) is polished
thinner than an inside portion Wc of the wafer W by

portion Wb of the wafer W becomes not more than the
minimum thickness at the inside portion Wc. Suitably
thereafter, the plasma etching apparatus 2 locally
etches the surface Wa of the wafer W to obtain a wafer
W with a high flatness without any projecting portion
at the outer peripheral portion Wb.
