Abstract: The scaffolding platform (7), of rectangular overall shape, includes retractable hooks (10) at its ends towards its four corners, these hooks being mounted so that they can pivot about horizontal pins (13). The pivoting hooks (10) lock onto the horizontal bars (6) of the ladder elements (3) belonging to the vertical structure of the scaffolding, but these hooks (10) retract into the overall size of the platform (7) when the platform is being lifted up. The platform (7) is hoisted up and lowered by means of hauling cables or ropes (16, 17) attached (at 15', 15'') to the hooks (10) and which can be operated from the ground or from a winch borne by the platform (7). This device applies more particularly to moving scaffolding. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2000-09-13
Abstract: An automatic pill dispensing apparatus is provided having a plurality of cartri An au Vb pV:support in guide slots within a housing. The apparatus is integrated with a microprocessor operating according to an algorithm, which receives, stores and processes prescription schedule data. Each cartridge has a plurality of compartments disposed about its periphery for containing medication to be dispensed at proper intervals at a dispensing position. An alarm is sounded for the user when the cartridges are ready to be positioned for dispensing medication according to the prescription schedule. A dispense bar is manually actuated by the user to eject scheduled medication into a tray for user access. If the user fails to dispense scheduled medication, it is withheld to prevent double dosing at subsequent dispensing times. The plurality of cartridges enable filling by a pharmacist of independent multiple prescriptions. After the cabinet housing is loaded for use, the housing is locked to prevent access unless a security code is entered into the processor. A dislodging wire sweeps through each compartment as the dispense bar is depressed, thereby dislodging the medication from the compartment for user access.

Abstract: SQUID control apparatus for controlling multiple SQUID probes (102) includes a plurality of head units (104) each corresponding to a respective SQUID probe, each of the head units including a non-cryogenic modulated flux-locked loop feedback circuit operating at a respective modulation frequency. The apparatus also includes a base unit (112) coupled to all of the head units, the base unit providing control signals to control the multiple head units. Means are also provided, such as through the use of a daisy chain topology, for synchronizing the modulation frequency of all of the modulated flux-locked loop feedback circuits. The head units may also contain a phase shifter coupled to phase shift the modulation frequency oscillator signal for provision to the local oscillator input of a demodulator, and the phase shifter may include a shifting filter for filtering the oscillator signal to reduce all frequency components except a fundamental frequency component by a desired amount, and shaping means for shaping the filtered and shifted signal into a square wave.

Les anneaux et les segments isolés sont couplés à un compteur d'énergie, et les amplitudes des signaux subissent un traitement statistique de manière à donner des classes d'amplitude. On détermine les caractéristiques dimensionnelles à partir d'une comparaison graphique ou numérique des classes d'amplitude. Si l'un au moins des anneaux est partagé en plusieurs segments, un calcul de la relation réciproque entre les signaux provenant des différents segments d'anneau permet de déterminer avec précision les caractéristiques dimensionnelles moyennes des particules.

Abstract: A speech recognition process uses an algorithm to identify the start of speech and simultaneously the end of a pause as well as the end of speech. The speech signal is divided into a number of blocks and a characteristic vector is defined that has two characteristics. One is a function of the signal energy and the other is a function of the quadratic difference of a linear predictive coding, LPC, Cepstrum coefficient. The average characteristic vector is calculated based upon a fixed number of blocks and a comparison made with a threshold value to determine start and end points. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system to warn of early removal of food from a cooking medium. The system is a combination of a frypot (14), a basket sensor and an alarm where the frypot is a container holding a cooking medium such as oil or shortening. Food items to be cooked are placed in a control zone in the cooking medium and held by a basket (18) that holds the food submersed in the cooking medium. The basket sensor is installed to detect the presence of a basket in the container. The basket sensor is monitored by a cooking computer (16a,16b,16c) that controls the alarm, activating the alarm if there is no basket (18) in the frypot (14) when a cook cycle is initiated or when the basket is removed before the cook cycle is completed. The cooking computer monitors the cooking cycle by using a preprogrammed cook time and adjusting the time based on variations measured in the cooking medium temperature or other factors. During the cooking cycle the cooking computer monitors the sensor to ensure that the basket is in the container to begin the cook cycle and that the basket remains in the container until the cook cycle is complete. If the basket is not in the container to begin the cook cycle or if the basket is removed from the container before the cooking time is complete, a signal is sent from the cooking computer to an alarm controller. The controller activates an alarm that can only be deactivated by turning of a key switch. The particular basket that was removed early is indicated by a decimal point or other visual indication in the cooking computer's alpha-numeric display. <IMAGE>

Un hydrure métallique peut être formé en présence d'hydrogène à une pression telle que l'hydrogène se lie au métal formant hydrure (10) pour former un hydrure métallique à l'intérieur du matériau polymère (8). La pression de l'hydrogène peut être réduite de manière à ce que l'hydrure métallique se dissocie et que l'hydrogène dissous s'échappe à travers le matériau polymère (8), formant ainsi une pluralité de micropores de diamètre inférieur à 1 nm.
