Inventor: SHO MASUJIMA
IPC: B21G1/04
Filed: 1969-10-07
Abstract: Sewing machine needles are produced by (a) drawing a needle stem to a predetermined value of the transverse section, while taking account of the expansion of a needle blank at the moment of pressing, (b) pressing the drawn needle stem through a matrix to obtain a needle blank with an oblong transverse section, (c) placing the oblong transverse section of the needle blank in the matrix block in such a manner that the large diameter is aligned with the pressing direction of the matrix blocks, these blocks being each provided with a projection for forming a throat on the needle blank, and (d) forming a needle body with a throat by pressing the blank between the matrix blocks. The quality of the needle blank and the expansion of the blank at the moment of pressing are considered so that the diameter of the needle blank can be determined.

Title: Method of reducing energy consumption in a mobile transceiver
Inventor: CARMON RAFY
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A method for reducing energy consumption in a digital communication system in idle mode includes the steps of: estimating a received signal quality value (80) prior to decoding of the received message packet; skipping the convolutional decoding and instead hard sample-to-bit converting (82) of the samples when received signal quality value is within a predetermined valid range, thereby producing a plurality of estimated bits; decoding the estimated bits by utilizing predetermined decoding data, when received signal quality is outside a predetermined valid range, thereby producing decoded bits. The higher power-consuming convolutional decoding is thereby avoided in favour of lower power hard sample-to-bit converting when the received signal is of sufficiently high quality.

Title: Lactam and cyclic urea derivatives useful as alpha 1a adrenoceptor antagonists
Inventor: EVANS BEN E
IPC: C07D401/12
Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: Novel lactam and urea derivatives of the formula shown in claim 1 and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have been found to exhibit activity against benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Compounds of this kind are selective in their ability to relax smooth muscle tissue enriched in the alpha 1a receptor subtype without simultaneously inducing hypotension. Such tissue is found surrounding the urethral lining. Thus treatment with the said compounds offers relief to males suffering from BPH by permitting less hindered urine flow. The said derivatives may also be used in conjunction with human 5-alpha reductase inhibitor compounds in the treatment of both acute and chronic BPH.

Title: A method of reducing engine stalling in a work machine
Inventor: CALDWELL SARAH D
IPC: F02D29/04
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A method of reducing engine stalling of a work machine comprising an engine 80 and a driven device, is characterised by said engine producing a rotational speed measurable by a tachometer 100, between preselected low and high idle speed. A controller 160 in communication with the tachometer 100 produces an electrical signal representative of the engine RPM. When the engine RPM drops to a preselected RPM in the low idle speed range the electrical signal from the controller 160 operates a relay 180, automatically switching the driven device from a first power output to a second lower power output, thus reducing the load on the engine 80. When the revs. rise to the preselected value in the high idle speed range the controller 160 signal operates the relay 180 to switch the said device to the first higher power output. The switched device may be an electrical device eg. an air conditioning unit 120, or a hydraulic device (fig. 4) eg. a backhoe assembly. More than one device driven by the engine 80 may be controlled in this manner either individually or in combination.
