Abstract: There is provided a webbing take-up device of which weight can be reduced while maintaining lock strength. A single lock plate 42 which is engaged with an internal gear ratchet 38 at the time of sudden deceleration of a vehicle is held in an accommodating portion 40 formed in a holding portion 24C of a base lock 24. At the time of sudden deceleration of a vehicle, the lock plate 42 is moved by being guided in a guide hole 50 of a V gear 46 and is engaged with the internal gear ratchet 38. Further, reaction force generated in the above-described engagement is utilized and the holding portion 24C of the base lock 24 is caused to contact by pressure the internal gear ratchet 38 and the base lock 24 plastically deforms and is thereby engaged with the internal gear ratchet 38. Accordingly, with the internal gear ratchet 38, a locked state is obtained at two facing locations in a radial direction. In addition, since only one lock plate 42 is used, the weight of the device can be reduced while maintaining the lock strength thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for calculating the amount and composition of inorganic material in a sheet material. The apparatus of the present invention is capable of calculating the composition of all the additives at once without requiring multiple cycles. The apparatus uses a combination of two techniques, namely an X-ray fluorescence analysis and a preferential X-ray absorption analysis. X-ray fluorescence is measured by a thermoelectrically cooled solid state detector. The apparatus can measure more than three additives.  Measurement of argon in the air is used for compensation of electronic drift. An empirical correction is used to compensate for mutual interaction between X-ray fluorescence radiation and clay or talc. The measurement is compensated for dust accumulation by means of fluorescing the dust.

Abstract: A power calculator calculates a frame power of a frame having a predetermined width of an input signal data at every predetermined time interval. Instantaneous power maximum value latch and instantaneous power minimum value latch hold and update respective maximum and minimum values of the frame power of the frame at every predetermined time period. A power threshold value decision portion sets and updates a threshold value for power so as to be varied according to the maximum value and difference between the maximum value and the minimum value at every predetermined time period. A discriminator compares the last threshold value obtained'by the power threshold value decision portion with power of a current frame to decide whether the current frame belongs to a speech interval or a non-speech interval.

Title: Eolienne dotee de deux rotors situes l'un derriere l'autre

Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une éolienne de grande envergure. Les pales de rotor optimisées pour un rendement maximal sont faciles à fabriquer pour de petites éoliennes et peuvent également être transportées sans problème, mais pour des éoliennes de grande envergure, les pales de rotor fabriquées selon un tel concept présentent deux inconvénients. Premièrement, la très grande surface de la pale de rotor entraîne de fortes charges sur le talon de pale en cas de vitesses du vent très élevées. Une grande éolienne est donc régulièrement arrêtée. En outre, l'éolienne dans son ensemble doit être conçue (dimensionnée) pour ces très fortes charges. Le second inconvénient concerne la fabrication d'une pale de rotor à très grande profondeur. L'objet de la présente invention est d'éliminer les problèmes susmentionnés et de simplifier la fabrication de l'éolienne ainsi que son fonctionnement. A cet effet, l'éolienne selon la présente invention possède deux rotors placés l'un derrière l'autre dont le premier, placé devant le second, possède un diamètre inférieur au second.

Abstract: A processor has an input port for receiving packets of data to be processed for encryption. A master controller acts to analyse the packets and to provide a header including a list of processes to perform on the packet of data and an ordering thereof. The master controller is programmed with process related data relating to the overall processing function of the processor. The header is appended to the packet of data. the packet with the appended header information is stored within a buffer. A buffer controller acts to dtermine for each packet stored within the buffer based on the header within the packet a next processor to process the packet. The controller then provides the packet to the determined processor for processing. The processed packet is returned with some indication that the processing is done. For example, the process may be deleted from the list of processes. The buffer controller repeatedly makes a determination of a next process until there is no next process for a packet at which time it is provided to an output port.

Abstract: An electrical energy storage device for storing electrical energy and supplying the electrical energy to a driving motor at different power levels is disclosed. The electrical storage device has an energy battery connected to a power battery. The energy battery has a higher energy density than the power battery. However, the power battery can provide electrical power to the electrical motor at different power rates, thereby ensuring that the motor has sufficient power and current when needed. The power battery is continuously recharged by the energy storage battery. In this way, the power battery temporarily stores electrical energy received from the energy battery and provides the electrical energy at the different power rates as required by the motor. The energy storage device can be releasably connected to an external power source in order to recharge both batteries. Both batteries can be recharged independently to optimize the recharging and lifetime characteristics of the batteries.
