Patent EP-1270899-A1 (EP)
IPC: F02B75/02
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: An engine is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention,
the engine comprises an compressor, and combustor, and an expander. The
compressor compresses the ambient air. The combustor burns the compressed
air, and produces exhaust gas. The expander receives the exhaust gases from
the compressor, and expands the exhaust gases. The compressor may be a
gerotor compressor or a piston compressor having variable-dead-volume control.
The expander may be a gerotor expander or a piston expander having variable-dead-volume
control. In another embodiment, an engine comprises a piston
compressor, a combustor, a piston expander, and a pressure tank. The piston
compressor compresses ambient air. The combustor burns the compressed air,
and produces exhaust gases. The piston expander receives the exhaust gases
from the combustor, and expands the exhaust gases. The pressure tank receives
and stores the compressed air from the compressor. In another embodiment, a
gerotor compressor or a gerotor expander comprises an inner gerotor, and an
outer gerotor. The inner gerotor and the outer gerotor are driven so that they do
not touch. The gerotors may be cantilevered or non-cantilevered.

Abstract: A toaster has a chassis, a pair of end plates, a frame
positioned in between and supported by the end plates.
There is a pair of heating elements supported by the frame
and a receiving bay between the frames. A carriage is
movable within the receiving bay between a
receiving/dispensing position and a cooking position. The
carriage interacts with the frame during movement to

Abstract: The invention relates to a content data transmission apparatus, content data processing apparatus and the like suitable for digital broadcast transmission apparatus, reception apparatus and the like. A move_pause descriptor is included in a PMT multiplexed in a transport stream TS. A CPU 101 controls move processing and pause processing on the content data based on the description of the move_pause descriptor. The move_pause descriptor contains such information as moveability of the content data, a number of times of allowable moves, pauseability of the content data, a number of times of allowable pauses, and a time limit of pausing. In the move, when copying of a stream TS stored in an HDD 106 is not prohibited, it can be moved to a storage device 240 without changing copy generation information of the content data. In the pause, when copying of the stream TS is prohibited, the stream TS is stored in the HDD 106 without being output to an output device (e.g. monitor 230), and subsequently retrieved therefrom to output it to the output device. The invention enables protection for copyright of the content provider when the content data is moved or paused.

Abstract: A method of modifying a polymer material whereby the
polymer material is modified to give a highly durable surface without
decreasing its strength. Namely, a polymer material is modified by
the method comprising a combination of an impregnation step, an
activation step, a step of grafting a monomer and a step of a treatment
with a hydrophilic polymer. Thus, the hydrophilic nature, adhesiveness,
etc. of polymer materials such as polyolefins can be improved without
causing any decrease in the practical strength. The thus obtained polymer
materials are usable in articles with a need for high water absorptivity
and high adhesiveness, for example, water-absorbing materials and
water-retaining materials for medical, sanitary, cosmetic and agricultural
uses, for improving adhesiveness of synthetic papers, filters, fiber
products for clothes and composite materials and the like. Among all,
these materials are particularly usable in orthodontical instruments,
writing implements and battery separators.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a screw-less hinge for
spectacles using a single metal material for the entire set
of spectacles excluding some spectacles parts, such as lenses,
engagement rods, and nose pads, the hinge having a mechanism
for allowing each temple to turn with respect to a
corresponding lug and preventing play of the temple, in both
an opened state and a closed state. The temple and the lug
are both formed of a wire-like metal material. An end of the
temple is formed into an annular shape so as to define a
pivot hole. A pivot portion of the lug formed through
bending the wire-like material of the lug is inserted into
the pivot hole whereby turning motion of the temple is
enabled. The lug is extended from the pivot portion along
the temple and is bent so that a distal end portion of the
lug is located on the inner side of the opened temple, to
thereby form a temple-open-state holding portion for
preventing the opened temple from turning inward.
