Patent EP-1130481-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ACQUAVIVA THOMAS
IPC: B65H29/10
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A paper conditioner (100) to control image dependent curl in a copier/printer includes a
reservoir for storing a quantity of liquid, a pair of rolls (102,104;103,105) in contact with one another so as to define
a nip (106;107), and a metering roll (108;109) associated with the reservoir and one of the pair of rolls. The metering
roll forms a nip with one of the pair of rolls to direct a controlled flow of liquid from the
reservoir to the nip area. Seals (140) located at opposed ends of the metering roll (109) and the roll (103) with
which it forms a nip prevent the flow of excess liquid from the ends of the metering roll.

Abstract: The present device is provided with conceptually new means which allow
an angular displacement of the fork-carrying or tool-carrying plate, which
means are very advantageous in comparison with the known solutions as
the conventional system of rotation on ball bearings is no more necessary. 
     In general, such means comprise a device of rotation (1) which is obtained
in a fixed element or casing (2) on the rear side of which there are fixing
clamps (2') which are to be coupled with corresponding front clamps (3)
which are fixed to the self-moving lift truck. 
     The fixed element or casing (2) is provided with a hollow seat in which a
crown (4) is inserted. 
     The crown (4) represents the rotating part on which an outer fork-carrying
unit is mounted. A supporting plate (5) is included in the fork-carrying unit.

Abstract: A device to enable correct operation of a vehicle internal
combustion engine fed with a primary fuel such as petrol and,
alternatively, with an alternative fuel such as gas, and
controlled electronically by an OBD system comprising a control
unit (1) connected to means (3) for determining the primary fuel
quantity present in a tank and to means for sensing optimum
combustion conditions within said engine, the unit being also

Abstract: A multiport ice dispensing device (18) includes an ice hopper (20) containing a
paddle wheel (22) and a series of openings (34) in the hopper wall (36) aligned with the
wheel's periphery. At each opening's outlet is a gate valve (38) to an ice conveyance

opening the gate valve (38) of the conduit (40) and vacuum line (66) to that location (46). Rotating
the wheel (22) inside the hopper (20) presents ice cubes to the active opening and
vacuum in the conduit (40) draws the ice cubes into the conduit (40) and on to the remote
location (46). Control can be centralized so ice delivery can occur in a predetermined
sequence or on an as-needed basis. Diversion of ice from one path to another

Abstract: A motor-generator is disclosed, in which
electromagnet coils(10) are arranged at axially
opposite ends of the stator(4), each to each end, while
connections among winding sets(1U-1V-1W, 2U-2V-2W,
3U-3V-3W) are changed in response to the rpm of the
rotor(3). This makes it possible to control the
voltage, either at high speed or at low speed, thereby
increasing the torque at low speed, or the torque on
the rotor shaft at low speed and rendering the voltage
stable. A rotor(3) is comprised of a cylindrical
magnetic path(7) axially elongating to extent
confronting the electromagnet coils(10), and a
permanent-magnet member(5) of more than one permanent-magnet
piece(15) extending axially over the magnetic
path. The cylindrical magnetic path(7) includes an N-pole
annular portion(7N) confronting any one of the
electromagnet coils(10), N-pole electromagnet magnetic
paths(16) stemming from the N-pole annular portion(7N)
in opposition to N-poles of the permanent-magnet pieces
(15), an S-pole annular portion(7S) arranged
confronting another of the electromagnet coils(10), and
S-pole electromagnet magnetic paths(17) stemming from
the S-pole annular portion(7S) in opposition to S-poles
of the permanent-magnet pieces(15).

Title: System and method of monitoring and reporting accounting data based on volume
Inventor: BARNA JOHN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and reporting a volume of data transferred between a Mobile Station (MS) and a data network during a data session. A Prepaid Server (PPS) maintains an MS account and informs a AAA Server of a predetermined volume of data that may be transferred during the session. A Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) sends interim accounting messages to the AAA Server which determines when the predetermined volume of data has been transferred, and notifies the PPS. When the account balance goes below a threshold volume, the data session is terminated. During handoff of the MS from a first PDSN to a second PDSN, a data tunnel is established between them. When the handoff is complete, the tunnel is torn down. The first PDSN reports the volume of data transferred through the tunnel to the second PDSN which reports the volume to the AAA Server.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de fusion ostéogénique intersomatique qui comprend des parties opposées et un élément central solidaire. Les parties opposées sont dimensionnées pour garder la hauteur d'un espace intersomatique vertébral. L'élément central présente un diamètre bien inférieur de façon que le dispositif de fusion ostéogénique forme une poche annulaire autour dudit élément. Une matière ostéogénique est placée dans cette poche entre les parties opposées. Dans un mode de réalisation, la matière ostéogénique constitue une feuille de collagène trempée dans une solution contenant une protéine morphogénétique osseuse. Le dispositif de fusion ostéogénique est conçu de façon que la matière ostéogénique soit en contact direct avec l'os vertébral adjacent. En plus de la surface de contact plus importante entre l'os vertébral et la matière de fusion, le présent dispositif réduit la déviation des contraintes (stress shielding) ainsi que la radiopacité de l'implant de manière que la croissance de la masse de fusion puisse être évaluée de façon continue. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif de fusion ostéogénique comprend au moins une partie terminale à surface tronquée. Les dispositifs de fusion ostéogéniques peuvent être associés à d'autres dispositifs de fusion pour former un système d'implant. Ce dernier comprend au moins un élément de support de charge à surface tronquée conçu pour se loger dans un autre élément de support de charge, de préférence le dispositif de fusion ostéogénique à support de charge de la présente invention. L'invention concerne également des systèmes d'implant comprenant des éléments de support de charge adjacents reliés les uns aux autres pour résister à une séparation latérale, ainsi que des procédés de promotion de la croissance de l'os de fusion dans l'espace intersomatique de deux vertèbres adjacentes, au moyen des dispositifs et des systèmes précités.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un implant de forme tubulaire en latex à section en forme de C pour la réduction de la tension intraoculaire. Une extrémité proximale sert de conduit permettant à l'humeur aqueuse de contourner les structures angulaires de l'oeil. Une extrémité distale sert de foyer aux cellules du patient pour y former une capsule. Le gonflement de la capsule cellulaire forme un tube pour l'acheminement de l'humeur aqueuse et effectue le filtrage de ce fluide dans l'espace extracellulaire sous la conjonctive. Une succession de portions latérales du tube distal sont enlevées. Une ligature est attachée à chacune des portions cylindriques entières restantes grâce auxquelles on empêche un écoulement à travers les portions cylindriques entières. Un ancrage comprend une extrémité fendue du tube dans lequel l'extrémité du tube est fendue plusieurs fois constituant une bifurcation. Le foyer présente une section en forme d'une courbe ondulée fermée. Le procédé comprend des étapes suivantes: l'implantation de la portion distale du tube cylindrique sous la conjonctive et l'ancrage de l'extrémité distale du tube cylindrique à la sclère au niveau du sourcil cotyloïdien; l'introduction l'extrémité proximale intact du tube dans la chambre antérieure à travers une rainure d'aiguille; la ligature de l'extrémité proximale afin d'empêcher l'hypotonie; permettre la croissance dans le temps de la capsule autour du tube; et, le relâchement de la ligature autour de l'extrémité proximale en vue de gonfler une bulle filtrante; la mesure de la tension intraoculaire en vue de déterminer si un drainage supplémentaire est nécessaire; si tel est le cas, relâchement de ligature(s) supplémentaire(s) permettant ainsi le gonflement des bulles filtrantes.
