Patent EP-1138392-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SAKOTA KOICHIRO
IPC: B04B5/04
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A novel centrifuge bowl for processing particles suspended in a fluid is disclosed.
The centrifuge bowl 10 includes an annular cavity 20 concentrically located about the
rotation axis for suitably separating particles of similar densities but of different
diameters. The cavity is preferably configured to have an annular cross sectional area,
which is parallel to the rotation axis, that increases from a centrifugal side of the cavity
toward a centripetal side of the cavity. This configuration allows to generate an almost
rigidly rotating field upon rotation of the centrifuge bowl, which field helps to
uniformly disperse Coriolis force throughout the circumference of the cavity to avoid
turbulent mixing of the particles. In an alternative embodiment, the cavity is
surrounded by an outer cavity for separating particles according to density before
processing them through the inner cavity. This construction is particularly suitable for
processing whole blood to harvest platelet-rich-plasma with reduced level of white
blood cell contamination.

Abstract: A bagless vacuum cleaner comprises a cyclonic separator
14 arranged to deposit separated dirt and dust in a removable
collection receptacle 13 and a filter 23 arranged over the
removable collection receptacle 13. The upstream surface of the
filter 23 is formed of a resiliently compressible material
arranged to compress when there is an airflow between the inlet
and outlet of the cleaner and to release any dust collected
thereon when it recovers its shape upon cessation of the
airflow. 
     The cyclonic separator 14 serves to remove a large
proportion of the dirt and dust whilst any dirt and dust
carried over to the next stage is separated by the filter 23.
Upon cessation of the airflow, any dirt and dust collected on
the filter falls into the collection receptacle 13, thereby
avoiding the need to regularly clean the filter.

Abstract: An apparatus for embedding data (175) in information material, the data being a
plurality of data items each having a different relative importance. The apparatus
comprises an encoding processor (ENC) operable to encode each of said data items, and a
combining processor (MUX) operable to combine said encoded data items with said
information material. The information material provides a limited data embedding
capacity, as a result for example of the limited bandwidth of the information material
itself. Each of the data items are encoded and embedded to the effect that a proportion
of the limited data embedding capacity is allocated to the encoded data items in
accordance with the relative importance of these data items. As such, for example, an
amount of error protection given to each of the data items can be arranged in
accordance with the importance of the data items, whilst still satisfying the limited
data embedding capacity. Accordingly, a greater amount of protection can be
provided to the more important data items, thereby making these items more robust
with respect to any processing of the information material and more likely to be
recovered correctly.

Abstract: An information recording/reproducing apparatus which is
capable of recording information data even if prepits cannot
be correctly read from a recording medium. Prepits are
detected from a read signal retrieved from a recording medium
to generate a prepit detection signal, and a block signal
indicative of a recording timing is generated based on the
prepit detection signal. In this event, when the prepit
detection signal is normal, an information signal is recorded
on the recording medium at a recording timing in accordance
with the block signal. On the other hand, when the prepit
detection signal is defective, the information signal is
recorded on the recording medium at a recording timing in
accordance with an auxiliary block signal having the same
period as a block length, and a fixed phase.

Abstract: An engine (10) has cylinders (11a-11f), a fuel injection unit (12) with a valve (15) operable in response to a valve control signal to cause fuel to be injected into the cylinders (11a-11f), and a control unit (ECU 16) which generates the valve control signal. A method of controlling the valve (15) includes sensing a time (Tcl) associated with movement of the valve (15) corresponding to start of a fuel injection event, and modifying the valve control signal as a function of the sensed time (Tcl). The method further includes determining a rise time (Tr)of the valve control signal, determining a valve operation delay time (Tcd) as a function of the rise time (Tr), determining a difference time (Tdif) representing a difference between a desired valve operation time (Thd) and the sensed time (Tcl), comparing the valve operation delay time (Tcd) to the difference time (Tdif), and adjusting timing of the valve control signal as a function of the comparison. The method, also, as a function of the comparison, varies individual valve control signal parameter values, each associated with a particular cylinder (11a-11f) of the engine (10), generates a sum value (SUM) representing a sum of the individual parameter values for all the cylinders (11a-11f), generates an average parameter (AVE) by dividing the sum value (SUM) by the number of cylinders (n), generates updated individual parameter values by subtracting the average value (AVE) from previous individual parameter values, and modifies the valve control signal as a function of the updated individual parameter values.
