Patent EP-1036232-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NEWMAN STEVEN S
IPC: D06F39/02
Filed: 1998-10-08
Abstract: A chemical dispensing system controller is used in conjunction with a mechanism for dispensing specified chemicals and a device that transmits trigger signals to the control system for requesting chemicals to be dispensed. The controller receives and accumulates sequences of the transmitted trigger signals. Each trigger signal sequence is preceded and followed by a period of time of predefined duration during which no trigger signals are received. At least some of the trigger signals in some of the trigger signal sequences are not received simultaneously. Also, the number of distinct chemical feed requests that can be communicated using the accumulated trigger signals exceeds the number of distinct trigger signals. The controller maps a first subset of the accumulated trigger signal sequences into chemical feed requests, each of which requests a quantity of a corresponding chemical. The controller enables the dispensing of chemicals in accordance with the chemical feed requests. A second subset of the accumulated trigger signal sequences are mapped into wash classification codes, each of which identifies a type of wash load to be washed using the dispensed chemicals. The number of distinct wash classification codes that can be communicated using the accumulated trigger signals exceeds the number of distinct trigger signals. When the control system uses a classification dependent feed arrangement, the chemical feed request corresponding to each received trigger signal sequence is determined based on both the current wash load type and the accumulated sequence of trigger signals.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif d'administration osmotique comprenant un mécanisme de rétention d'un bouchon à membrane qui peut également servir à doser le débit d'un agent bénéfique. Ce dispositif d'administration osmotique se compose d'un implant-capsule qui renferme un agent bénéfique et un agent osmotique. Des trous sont formés dans une paroi latérale de cette capsule au niveau d'une extrémité ouverte. Lorsque le bouchon à membrane est inséré dans la capsule, la matière dans laquelle est faite se bouchon se dilate et remplit les trous de la paroi latérale, ce qui crée une force de frottement importante empêchant le bouchon d'être expulsé. Le taux de diffusion de l'agent bénéfique est fonction de la taille et du nombre de ces trous. En jouant sur la taille et le nombre de ces trous, on modifie la surface exposée du bouchon à membrane et donc le taux d'administration de l'agent bénéfique. Plus la surface du bouchon à membrane qui est exposée à l'environnement extérieur est importante, plus la perméabilité de la membrane est grande et plus le taux de diffusion de l'agent bénéfique est élevé.

Abstract: A method of multi-level iterative digital filtering of a data structure, e.g. an image, is
described, whereby the elements of the data structure form the zero layer in the zero level
and the data layer in each subsequent level is given by the results of one iteration,
comprising the steps of:
   subdividing each level into a plurality of regions, there being data dependency between the
data in one data layer in one level and the data layers in any other level of a region;   filtering each level by lapped-region processing; and   scheduling the data processing of each level to provide substantially regional
synchronization of the filtering step at each level.    
     Preferably the sequence for traversing the regions is selected so that outputs from
processing the regions are scheduled to occur at substantially equal time intervals. 
     Preferably when the processing is stopped at the end of one region the data dependencies
included in adjacent unprocessed regions are stored. 
     The method may be used for encoding or decoding. Apparatus for encoding and decoding is
also described.

Abstract: A fixture (10) apparatus for material deposition or processing on a
long, flexible, nonplanar, filamentary substrate (12) has a tubular
member (16,22) for holding the filamentary substrate rotatably disposed on
a base. An opening is formed in the tubular member through which
material is deposited on the surface of the filamentary substrate.
Moveable tubes (30,32) are each slidingly disposed in the tubular member
on either side of the opening. The tubes and/or the tubular member hold
the filamentary substrate on both sides of a deposition area on the
substrate to maintain the straight configuration. The tubes and/or
tubular member also physically masks the filamentary substrate to
prevent material deposition outside the deposition area on the
substrate. The base (13) has a circular path (14) and a rotating member
(15). A wheel (51) is coupled to one side of the tubular member and is
rotatably disposed on the circular path of the base. The other side of
the tubular member is rotatable coupled to the rotating member (50) of
the base by a bearing (52). The rotating member causes the wheel to turn
about a vertical axis in a circular path. The wheel is fixed to the
tubular member causing the tubular member to rotate about a horizontal
axis or longitudinal axis of the tubular member. As the rotating member
turns and the wheel rolls, the tubular member the filamentary substrate
is rotated about the two different axes to uniformly deposit material on
the filament.
