Abstract: A device (1) for implementing a dry electrical connection of a motor vehicle lock (27), comprising a fastening part (2) for a lock housing (3), wherein an electrical connection to the lock housing (3) can be implemented through an opening (4) of the fastening part (2) from a first side (5) of the fastening part (2), wherein the lock housing (3) has an external plug (7) that is positioned at a distance to the fastening part (2) and at the circumference (8) of which a flexible collar (9) is fastened, extending to the first side (5) of the fastening part (2) and forming a seal (11) with a second distance (10) to the opening (4) of the fastening part (2).

Abstract: With the aim of realizing an easy and inexpensive method of realizing a “stealth” dot pattern, whose presence on a medium surface is not visually recognizable, merely through minor improvements in the existing printing technology, the present invention provides dots which form a dot pattern by printing these dots using an ink of any color reactive in the infrared or ultraviolet wavelength range on a medium surface on which a dot pattern is to be formed, for use with a dot pattern reading system that irradiates infrared or ultraviolet light on a medium surface having a dot pattern provided thereon, recognizes the dot pattern by reading the reflections of the light with an optical reading means, converts the dot pattern into the corresponding data, and outputs the text, voice, images and so forth contained in the data.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a vehicle door latch, whose basic version contains a locking mechanism (1, 2) with at least one operating lever (3) for the locking mechanism (1, 2) and a motor drive (4, 5, 6, 7) for opening the locking mechanism (1, 2). According to the invention, the motor drive (4, 5, 6, 7) directly acts upon the locking mechanism (1, 2) solely via the operating lever (3).

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a pickup device for a stringed instrument which can take a piezoelectric signal for a tone of an acoustic stringed instrument. A stringed instrument is composed of a stringed instrument main body and a sensor mechanism. The stringed instrument main body is composed of one or more strings, a vibration plate used to radiate the vibration of each string as a sound wave, and a sensor mechanism that can make pressure contact with the vibration plate of the stringed instrument main body. The sensor mechanism has fixing means configured to be secured to the stringed instrument main body and a contact sensor member tightly contacted with the vibration plate directly or via an intermediate member.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for effectively preventing the scattering and the like of powder material, by maintaining a completely sealed condition, from the supply of the powdery material and the discharge of the molded articles to the cleaning of the interior. A housing 1 comprising, connected via a piping system 10, a vacuum device 11 for depressurizing said housing 1 interior; an atmosphere cut-off valve 12 installed on said piping system 10 for cutting off a piping interior atmosphere on said housing 1 side from a piping interior atmosphere on the vacuum device 11 side; a wetdown piping system 72 for wetting, within the atmosphere on the housing 1 side starting from said atmosphere cut-off valve 12, a compression molding mechanism 2 as well as powdery material stuck to the inside of said housing 1; and an outside air introduction mechanism 15 installed on said housing 1 for opening up an airtight condition of the housing.

Abstract: An invention is provided wherein the bearings of a molded motor do not become electro-eroded. An inner rotor type, brushless DC motor 10 is provided having a stator 22 which has a stator core 12 wound with a coil 16, a housing 26 formed by covering the outside surfaces of the motor 10 with an unsaturated polyester, molding resin having electrical insulating properties, and an earth electrode 40 made of metal, installed to go through a metal bracket 38 and the housing 26 to reach the stator core 12, such that electric current flows from the stator core 12 and the bracket 38 to the exterior, preventing electro-erosion and resulting deterioration of bearings 30, 32.

Abstract: The present invention is an information entry system comprising a touch panel monitor screen, wherein the touch panel monitor screen displays keys for information entry, which are arranged circularly in order and the keys are rotationally shifted by a random number of key units around the center of the circular arrangement without changing the order when a user touches a predetermined option key before or after the information entry. This system also has a central processing unit and a program storage unit including an Information entry Screen Generator, a Random Number Generator, a Key Moving Unit, and a PIN Information output unit. This information entry device prevents a PIN or any other information entry from being stolen by someone who glances at the finger movement, since the entire series of the entry keys are rotated before or after the PIN entry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering target speech from mixed signals, which include the target speech and noise observed in a real-world environment, based on split spectra using sound sources' locational information.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for approximating and displaying a three-dimensional object represented by CAD data.
