Patent EP-1035339-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHITSUKAWA KENJI
IPC: F16C33/36
Filed: 2000-03-08
Abstract: A bearing is provided which can be sufficiently processed
by a usual NC grinding machine, and attain a life period that
is substantially equal to that of a bearing having a theoretical
crowning shape which is derived from the elastic contact
theory, even when the bearing is used in a portion to which
a heavy load or a high torque load is applied. As means for
realizing such a bearing, a generating line of a rolling surface
of a roller or a raceway surface of an inner or outer
race is divided into a plurality of zones, and the shape of
the generating line is approximated to a special curve shape
which is theoretically derived, by a plurality of circular
arcs which are contacted with each other on the border line
between the corresponding zones. Therefore, it is possible
to obtain a roller bearing which can be practically used, and
which can attain a life period that is substantially equal to
that of a bearing having an ideal crowning shape.

Abstract: A portable electronic device according to the
invention comprises a USB connector 4, a USB controller 6
for executing predetermined data communication processing
attendant on data communication with a personal computer
2 connected to the USB connector 4, and a main CPU 7 for
executing device operation processing for the usual
operation of the device, and is adapted to receive a
power supply from the personal computer 2 or an external
power source 3 as connected to the USB connector 4.
Discriminating between the sources of supply of power,
the main CPU 7 causes the USB controller 6 to execute the
predetermined data communication processing while power
is supplied from the personal computer 2, or executes the
usual device operation processing while power is supplied
from the external power source 3. This assures more
rapid and simplified processing even when the USB
connector is used also as a connector for the external
power source.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for lacing an extruded
tube 14 of a non-derivatized cellulose through an S-wrap
unit 28 to collapse the tube to a flat width. The lacing to
form an S-wrap is accomplished without slowing the extrusion
speed. At the start of the extrusion operation, the
extrusion path leads between a pair of horizontally-oriented
lacing members 30 and 32. After the leading edge 52 of the
extruded tube has passed downwardly through the space 50
between the lacing members, the members are rotated as a
unit to bring them into contact with opposite sides of the
extruded tube. This collapses the tube and creates the S-wrap.

Abstract: A centrifugal braking mechanism of a dual-bearing reel
for braking under centrifugal force the reel spool fitted
rotatively in the body of the reel. The centrifugal braking
mechanism achieves simple adjustment of braking force, by
which adjustment distinctly perceptible differences in
braking force are gained. The centrifugal braking mechanism
includes shifting members 52, a brake element 53, an urging
member 54, a restricting member 55, and an urging force
adjusting mechanism 56. The shifting members are provided

rotation of the spool. The brake element is non-rotatably
provided on, and permitted to shift axially with respect to,
the reel body. The brake element comes into contact with
the shifting members shifted under centrifugal force. The
urging member urges the brake element towards the shifting
members, which movement is controlled by the restricting
