Patent EP-1489107-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BIRSE DAVID GORDON
IPC: C10M129/93
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A process for producing polyalkenyl acylating agent, wherein, upon completion of the thermal reaction of a polyalkene and an unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound, the reaction mixture is allowed to cool to below the reaction temperature, an additional amount of unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound is added to the cooled reaction mixture, which is then maintained in the reactor for a time period, optionally with agitation. Reducing the temperature of the reaction mixture prior to the introduction of additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound minimizes further reaction between the additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound and any remaining unreacted polyalkene, as well as self-polymerization of the unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound. Polymerized unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound in the reactor, suspended in the reaction mixture in the form of sediment or deposited on the internal walls of the reactor vessel as tar, is dissolved by the additional unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride compound and removed from the reactor upon draining of the reactor vessel.

Abstract: A hydraulic control system for a working machine according to the present invention includes a regulator control valve for controlling an operation of a pump regulator and a controller for sending a control signal for changing a discharge quantity of the pump to the regulator control valve in accordance with an operation amount of an operating means. On the basis of the control signal, a secondary pressure in the regulator control valve is fed to the pump regulator. This system further includes a fail-safe valve disposed in a control line joining the pump regulator and the regulator control valve. The fail-safe valve has an ordinary position for sending the secondary pressure to the pump regulator and a fail-safe position for sending an oil pressure from a path other than the regulator control valve to the pump regulator in such a manner that a predetermined discharge amount is ensured. The fail-safe valve is configured so as to switch from the ordinary position to the fail-safe position in accordance with a failure signal indicative of failure in the regulator control valve. According to this, while adopting an electronic control system for the pump, it is possible to continue a work even in the failed condition of the system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a surface acoustic wave linear motor that can be driven in opposite directions along a predetermined path, a package including the surface acoustic wave linear motor, and a lens actuator that is capable of performing an optical zoom function by adopting the surface acoustic wave linear motor package. The surface acoustic wave linear motor includes a substrate, through which a surface acoustic wave progresses, a movable part constructed such that the movable part can perform a translating movement in the opposite direction to the progressing direction of the surface acoustic wave, and electrodes for supplying the substrate with power to generate the surface acoustic wave in the substrate. According to the present invention, the surface acoustic wave linear motor is capable of performing a translating movement without the provision of an additional mechanism, unlike the conventional actuator using the rotary motor, the gear, and the lead screw. Furthermore, the surface acoustic wave linear motor is suitable for miniaturization and weight reduction, and therefore, various applications of the surface acoustic wave linear motor are possible.

Abstract: The present invention provides a character/data transmitting/receiving system, a terminal management apparatus, and a character/data transmitting/receiving method used therein, which can obtain responses from all the parties concerned at once without requesting a voice response from each of the parties in a group communication. PTT (Push-to-Talk) terminals and a terminal management apparatus are provided with a capability of group communication by the PTT communication and a response request capability using a communication protocol of the response control communication. The terminal management apparatus, upon receipt of a response request instruction from one of PTT terminals via the response control communication, makes an inquiry by sending a response request to the other PTT terminals participating in the group communication. The respective PTT terminals having received the inquiry send back a response to the inquiry to the terminal management apparatus. The terminal management apparatus collects the respective response status based on the responses from the PTT terminals, and informs the PTT terminal that has originated the response request instruction of the response status via the response control communication.

Abstract: A needle disengagement sensing mechanism includes a fistula needle that is adapted to carry fluid. An electronic sensing system is operatively connected to the needle. The sensing system is capable of detecting partial or full disengagement of the needle from a position where it is engaged with the fluid. Disengagement detection is a result of i) a comparative analysis of complex impedance measurements of the needle when in and at least partially out of the fluid engaged position and/or ii) a comparative analysis of optical spectroscopic measurements taken through an area of the mechanism adapted to carry the fluid, the measurements being taken when the needle is in and at least partially out of the fluid engaged position. An alarm control conduit operatively connects the sensing system to a hemodialysis machine and/or an electronic device. The alarm control conduit generates an alarm upon detecting at least partial disengagement of the needle.

Abstract: A CPU cooling assembly having a first, covering layer (18') of conductive material above the upper surface of an enclosed, heat producing chip (10') and a third, upper layer (24') of conductive material (a heat sink base plate) thermally bonded to the first by an intermediate, second layer (26') of thin, conforming material (thermal grease) that is far less thermally conductive, and more resistive, than the other two layers. The relative thickness relationship of the first and third, more conductive, layers is essentially reversed from the prior art, with first layer being relatively thicker than the third. This creates an overall lower resistance for the three layer sandwich.

Abstract: The hearing device to be worn by a user of the hearing device comprises 
- an input transducer for transducing incoming acoustical sound into audio signals; 
- a signal processor for processing audio signals; 
- an output transducer for transducing audio signals into outgoing acoustical sound. 
     Said signal processor is designed such that there exists an input SPL range (ΔSPL in ) of at least a portion of said incoming acoustical sound, in which an increase (δ + SPL in ) in input SPL (SPL in ) of said at least one portion of said incoming acoustical sound results in a decrease (δ - SPL out ) in output SPL (SPL out ) of at least a portion of said outgoing acoustical sound, wherein SPL stands for sound pressure level. Through this, at high input SPL (SPL in ) the hearing device's power consumption can be reduced by making use of direct sound, which propagate as sound waves from outside the user's ear canal to the user's ear drum.
