A gas turbine engine exhaust nozzle arrangement for the flow of exhaust gases therethrough between an upstream end and a downstream end thereof comprising a nozzle and a plurality of tabs which extend in a generally axial direction from a downstream portion of the nozzle wherein the nozzle further comprises an actuation mechanism capable of moving the tabs between a first deployed position, where the tabs interact with a gas stream to reduce exhaust noise thereof, and a second non-deployed posit...

A magnetic steering angle detection apparatus includes a magnet rotating in synchronization with a steering shaft mounted on a vehicle, senses a change of a magnetic field from the magnet by use of a hall IC mounted on a column side, and detects a rotation angle of the steering shaft. The magnet has S and N poles arranged on a plane of which normal line is in a substantially axial direction of the steering shaft. The hall IC is disposed such that a sensing direction of the hall IC is set to be a...

A lighted umbrella comprises a solar power device mounted on the top end of the shaft of the umbrella. A plurality of ribs is pivotally connected to the shaft. Each rib has a hollow interior in which an electrical wire can be stored. A slot is formed on each rib to accommodate two transparent light guiding rods that are disposed on the slot to form an opening space near the middle of the rib. A plurality of lighting devices is affixed on the rods through the opening space. Energy efficient devic...

A heating apparatus includes a heating roller that is heated by heating units, a main power supply that supplies power from an external power supply to the main heating unitl, and an auxiliary power supply that supplies power to the auxiliary heating unit. The auxiliary power supply further includes a mass capacitor of multiple capacitor cells, which are charged by the external power supply. The connection mode of the capacitor cells is changed at least at the time of electric discharge.

An atomic lithography apparatus for depositing atoms included in an atomic beam on a substrate to manufacture an periodic atomic structure, comprising an atomic oven having a pin hole, a collimator for collimating an atom gas effused from the atomic oven to generate an atomic beam, four lasers for irradiating laser beams on the atomic beam to control the spreading angle of the atomic beam, two lasers for forming an optical standing wave at a part of a space in which the atomic beam is propagated...

In a telephone system where frequency multiplexed analog telephone signals and digital data signals are transmitted over a line, incoming calls are announced to the customer installation by a ringing indication signal having an amplitude between 1 and 30 V RMS, which is much less than the regular ringing and therefore easier to be generated, and moreover having a smoother shape than a rectangular shape. Upon receiving the ringing indication signal, the customer installation locally generates and...
