Patent EP-0919933-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAKINOKI WATARU
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1998-11-23
Abstract: The PC card of the present invention preferably
includes a logic circuit operating in either a 16-bit mode
or a 32-bit mode, a ground line on the circuit, a connector
(38) for transferring a signal between the circuit and the
external device, and a series of elastic metal members (40)
arranged on the top surface of the connector (38) and
connected to the ground line. When the connector (38) of
the PC card (31) is inserted into the PC card slot (25), the
elastic metal member (40) is retained by a support frame
arranged on the periphery of the PC card slot (25), and is
deformed upward toward the top surface of the connector
(38). When the PC card (31) is fully inserted into the slot
(25), the elastic metal member (40) urges the support frame
and both are firmly connected.
Patent EP-0903961-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BUTTON DOUGLAS J
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: An electro-magnetic loudspeaker, with dual voice coils
operating in corresponding magnetic fields in annular gaps
between permanent magnet pole pieces, is provided with a single
short-circuited braking coil of one or more turns mounted on the
voice coil form midway between the two voice coils. The braking
coil has minimal effect on normal operation of the loudspeaker,
but introduces an inductive braking effect from counter-EMF
whenever the voice coil assembly displacement approaches a
working limit in either direction, as the braking coil enters a
corresponding one of the two magnetized gaps. Thus bidirectional
braking/damping is accomplished in a dual coil speaker by the
addition of a single braking coil, which could be simply a one
turn ring; whereas bidirectional inductive braking in a speaker
with a single voice coil requires two such braking coils flanking
the voice coil. The single braking/damping coil can be brought
out to terminals for connecting it in a loop circuit with an
active feedback driver and/or a network of one or more reactive
components, for modifying and enhancing the braking/damping
action.

the movement of the coil during a final part of movement
of the coil, and alternating between electrical damping
and an electrical holding current.

Abstract: A cutting element has a substrate with a non-planar, non-linear
surface bonded to a superhard element. The substrate
provides one or more non-linear grooves radially mounted in
spaced relationships on the surface of the substrate. Each
groove has a generally curved shape that unfurls from a first
circle on the substrate towards a perimeter of the substrate.
The groove shape is defined by complex functions, examples of
which include high order polynomials and involutes. The depth
and width of the groove varies, generally in an increasing
manner, along the path from the first circle towards the
substrate perimeter. Further, the pitch of the groove also
varies along the path from the first circle towards the substrate
perimeter.

Inventor: IKEBE MASARU
IPC: G11B23/03
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: A disc cartridge comprises an upper casing member (1) and a
lower casing member (2). A cover (30) is fitted in the
casing to be slidable along guide grooves (24) and
including a disc receiving section (37). The cover can be
drawn out through a disc takeout opening (15) for taking
out a disc (4) from a casing. This permits the disc (4) to
be readily taken out from the casing by merely drawing out
the cover (30) from the casing. A shutter (5) is provided
to selectively closing such holes as head insertion holes
(12, 22) and drive shaft insertion holes (11, 21). A disc
support section (36) is provided by the bottom wall of the
cover which has side wall portions (35) provided with disc
holding portions (36). Thus a disc (4) is prevented from
being inadvertently detached from the cover (30).

Title: Paper handling flap valve array system
Inventor: YIM MARK H
IPC: B65H5/22
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A valve array for supporting objects such as paper
with controlled fluid flow is disclosed. Optional valve
arrays can be used to controllably eject marking agents for
marking or coating a paper or other suitable substrate.
Each valve in the valve array has one or more flap elements
(24) positioned in a valve chamber (16). These flap
elements (24) are movable to alternatively block the fluid
flow through valve chamber outlets with the aid of various
catch mechanisms (34,36) for controllably latching the flap
elements. The catch mechanisms (34,36) have a disabled
state and an activated state for holding and allowing
release of the flap elements. Once the catch mechanismS
(34,36) are disabled, the flap elements are free to move to
another position, provided they can overcome the mechanical
fluid flow forces that tend to hold it in position. To
counter and utilize such forces for moving the flap
elements, an impulse mechanism kicks the flap element into
the valve chamber, away from the catch mechanisms. Since
the position of the flap elements is unstable, oscillations
of the flap elements in the fluid flow will eventually
bring the flap element into catchment range of another
catch mechanism in an activated state.

IPC: B21J5/00

Abstract: In a forging process analyzing method, many trace points are
set in a workpiece. Lines connecting the trace points express
fiber flow lines. The fiber flow lines may be imaginary ones
that are irrelevant to real fiber flow lines. By applying a
technique of a finite element method to the fiber flow lines,
deformation calculation is performed. A new trace point is
added between trace points when the distance therebetween is
great. The velocity of each trace point cause by deformation
is calculated, and the position of each trace point is updated.
When any trace point in an element is left behind in a die, the
left-behind phenomenon is prevented by converting the shape of
the element while the crossing of fiber flow lines is prevented.
A radius is set for each trace point. The radius of each trace
point is adjusted so as to eliminate off-boundary extension and
overlap of fiber flow lines.

Abstract: An automatic call distribution (ACD) system connected
to a switch in a telephone network over an ISDN PRI
interface. The ACD system receives a customer call and
determines which agent should handle the call. The ACD
system places an outgoing call to the agent. When the
agent answers, the ACD system exchanges ISDN PRI Two B-Channel
Transfer (TBCT) messages with the switch to cause
the incoming customer and outgoing agent calls to be
directly connected. When the incoming and outgoing calls
are directly connected, the ACD is disconnected from both
calls. The ACD is notified when the call between the
agent and the customer is cleared.

Abstract: A dual fuel nozzle is provided with two different
size injection holes. The first injection holes (4)
have larger diameters and are used only for injecting
gaseous fuel into a combustion chamber. On the other
hand, the second injection nozzles (5) have smaller
diameter and are used for injecting either gaseous fuel
or liquid fuel as required. When gaseous fuel is used,
if the fuel injection amount is large or medium, both
of the first and second injection holes (4,5) or first
injection holes (4) only are used for injecting gaseous
fuel depending upon the required fuel injection amount.
When the fuel injection amount is low, only the second
injection hole(5) is used for injecting gaseous fuel.
Therefore, the pressure drop across the fuel nozzle can
be kept at a sufficiently high level even when the fuel
injection amount is low, and thereby combustion
vibration is suppressed. Further, when liquid fuel is
used, a premixed fuel and steam mixture is injected
from the second injection holes (5). This also keep
the pressure drop across the fuel nozzle at a high
level in order to suppress combustion vibration when
the fuel injection amount is low.
