Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for downhole processing of measurements made in a wellbore during the construction of the wellbore. The system includes a sensors located downhole adapted to measure a two downhole parameters. The system uses a downhole processor to calculate a statistical relationship, preferably covariance, between the two downhole parameters. A transmitter located downhole and in communication with the downhole processor is used to transmit the calculated statistical relationship to the surface. At the surface the statistical relationship is compared with surface acquired data and surface drilling operating parameters are altered based on the statistical relationship. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The seat belt module is electronically controlled using magneto-rheological fluid. A CPU delivers a signal to an electromagnetic coil within the module at the beginning of a crash to cause the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid to increase sufficient to lock the spool on which the seat belt is wound against rotation. Thereafter, a subsequent signal is delivered by the CPU to the coil to reduce the magnetic field and the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid allowing the spool to be unwound in a programmed manner so as to reduce the forces imposed on an occupant by the seat belt. The CPU may be pre-programmed in response to signals from sensors throughout the vehicle that deliver signals corresponding to the characteristics of the occupant and may be programmed in response to signals from these sensors and from an air bag to respond in real time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tumble dryer has a drum 1 mounted in a cabinet 2, the drum having an opening 3 through which the drum is loaded and which is closed by a door (now shown) in use. Heated air enters the drum at the rear via opening 8 under the propulsion of a blowing fan 5, and cooler moist air leaves the front of the drum and is fed to a duct 10 to be led to the rear of the dryer to be exhausted, for example, to the atmosphere. According to the invention, a cyclone separator 11 is provided into which the drying air leaving the drum is fed tangentially. A further sucking fan 15 is provided to increase the velocity of the moist air entering the cyclone separator.

Abstract: Blind source separation (BSS) of statistically independent signals with low signal-to-noise plus interference ratios under a narrowband assumption utilizes cumulants in conjunction with spectral estimation of the signal subspace to perform the blind separation. The BSS technique utilizes a higher-order statistical method, specifically fourth-order cumulants, with the generalized eigen analysis of a matrix-pencil to blindly separate a linear mixture of unknown, statistically independent, stationary narrowband signals at a low signal-to-noise plus interference ratio having the capability to separate signals in spatially and/or temporally correlated Gaussian noise. This BSS provides the ability to blindly separate signals in situations where no second-order technique has been found to perform the blind separation satisfactorily, for example, at a low signal-to-noise ratio when the number of sources equals the number of sensors or when the noise is spatially and temporally colored.

Abstract: L'objectif de la présente invention est d'obtenir, avec des réseaux téléphoniques courants (TDM), une plus grande disponibilité du service de téléphonie, même en mettant en oeuvre des réseaux IP en tant que réseau de transport. A cette fin, des passerelles médiatiques (MG) doivent être connectées avec une sûreté intégrée à un réseau (IP) de routeurs IP (ER0, ER1, ER2, ER3). Les défaillances à prendre en compte comprennent des défaillances partielles de la passerelle médiatique (MG), des défaillances totales ou des défaillances partielles de routeurs IP (ER0, ER1, ER2, ER3) et des défaillances de connexion (L0, L1, L2, L3) entre la passerelle médiatique (MG) et les routeurs IP (ER0, ER1, ER2, ER3). Une connexion à sûreté intégrée d'une passerelle médiatique (MG) à des routeurs IP (ER0, ER1, ER2, ER3) assure un fonctionnement sans entrave de l'ensemble du système dans le cas d'une des défaillances susmentionnées. Selon cette invention, un élément de réseau (MG) présentant au moins un composant (ES0, ES1) qui est exécuté au moins deux fois de manière redondante fait l'objet d'une connexion à sûreté intégrée à un réseau de communication (IP) et, par conséquent, au moins deux unités d'interface (IF0, IF1, IF2, IF3) sont couplées respectivement par l'intermédiaire d'une connexion (L0, L1, L2, L3) à chaque composant (ER0, ER1, ER2, ER3) du réseau de communication (IP) et aux composants redondants (ES0, ES1) de l'élément de réseau (MG).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit (640) et un procédé utilisé dans une unité de comparaison (400) d'une matrice de comparaison (170) pour la compression LZ1 d'une chaîne de données. Ce procédé consiste à comparer des octets d'une mémoire tampon d'entrée (140) avec des octets d'une mémoire tampon d'historique (110, 120). Par ailleurs, ce procédé consiste à fournir une pluralité d'étages de portes logiques (720, 730, 740, 750) couplées en série, chaque étage produisant une valeur de report qui est admise dans une des sorties de l'unité et dans une autre de la pluralité des étages de portes logiques. Le produit du nombre d'étages dans la pluralité des étages de portes logiques et le nombre de portes logiques dans chaque pluralité d'étages de portes logiques est inférieur au nombre de portes logiques requis pour un circuit équivalent ayant une seule étape de circuit logique. La valeur de report représente le nombre de concordances consécutives détectées par la série d'étages de portes logiques. Le délai qui résulte de l'utilisation de la pluralité d'étages de portes logiques peut être réduit en utilisant une valeur de préanalyse de report (770). L'efficacité de compression peut être améliorée en comparant la valeur de report produite au niveau de la sortie d'unité avec une valeur de préanalyse de report générée précédemment, afin de déterminer si la valeur de report peut être améliorée.

Abstract: A protrusion 10 of a distal hood component 9 fitted to a distal end 3 of an endoscope 1 is formed from a elastically deformable soft component. When the distal end 10 is pressed against an observation target 13 and the protrusion 10 is deformed due to an external force at that time, a part 10a thereof is entered into the range of the observational field of view 12. Consequently, the surgeon becomes aware that the protrusion 10 is deformed and, therefore, does not press the end of the protrusion 10 against the observation target 13 with a further force, so that the patient can have a reduced uncomfortable feeling. Since the external force applied to the protrusion 10 is relieved by the elastic deformation of the protrusion, damage to the distal hood component can be prevented from occurring. <IMAGE>
