Patent EP-0925865-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NESTER PAUL D
IPC: B23K9/028
Filed: 1998-11-25
Abstract: A robotic welding method for making a heat
exchanger having tubes 14 and inlet 22 and outlet 24
headers is disclosed. The headers 22;24 have planar
tubesheets 40;41 and covers 30;32. The planar
tubesheets 40;41 are welded to the inlet 18 and outlet
20 ends of tubes 14. The tubesheets 40;41 have two co-linear
edge portions and a third edge intersecting a
line through the two co-linear edge portions. The
tubesheet 40;41 has interior edges defining holes
through which the ends of tubes 14 extend. A robotic
welding system 80 is provided, with a sensor 82, a
welding apparatus 84 and a controller 86 for controlling
the movement and operation of the welding apparatus 84.
The tubesheet 40;41 is scanned to find the first and
second co-linear edge portions, the third intersecting
edge portion, and the face 60 of the tubesheet 40;41.
An actual origin 89 is defined at the intersection of a
first line through the first two co-linear edge portions
found through scanning and a second line perpendicular
to the line through the co-linear edge portions and
extending through the third intersecting edge portion
found through scanning and lying on the plane of the
tubesheet face 60. The welding apparatus 84 is moved to
weld the tubesheet 40;41 and tubes 14 together. The
positions of the welds are based upon the location of
the actual origin of the tubesheet 40;41 relative to the
robotic system 80. After the tubesheet 40;41 has been
welded to the tube ends 14, the cover 30;32 is welded to
tubesheet 14. The robotic welding system 80 uses the
same coordinate system that it has defined and performs
additional scans of the cover 30;32 to determine two
points on each of the side faces of the cover 30;32 and
one point on each of the cover's end faces. The welding
apparatus 84 then welds the cover 30;32 to the tubesheet
40;41 along the edges of the cover faces.

Abstract: On décrit un système et un procédé pour effectuer des opérations bancaires à partir d'un ordinateur individuel relié directement à un système informatique hôte par l'intermédiaire d'un fournisseur du service de réseau, de sorte que les demandes de service client puissent être traitées automatiquement sans nécessiter l'intervention de représentants du service à la clientèle. Le système peut distinguer les demandes de service client pouvant être traitées automatiquement des demandes nécessitant l'intervention d'un représentant du service à la clientèle. Le système est intégré au système informatique hôte de la banque, ce qui permet au client de la banque à domicile d'accéder à d'autres services automatisés de la banque. Pour réaliser le procédé de l'invention, le client entre à partir d'un ordinateur individuel distant une demande de service bancaire choisie dans un menu de demandes de service bancaire. Cette demande est transmise à un ordinateur hôte du réseau qui la reçoit, en identifie le type, l'enregistre automatiquement, la compare avec une table de types de demandes stockée en mémoire. Chaque type de demandes inclut un attribut qui détermine si le type de demandes doit être traité par un représentant du service à la clientèle ou par un système automatisé. En fonction de l'attribut, la demande est soit mise en file d'attente de traitement par un représentant du service à la clientèle soit mise en file d'attente de traitement par un système automatisé.

Abstract: Solar wing positioning methods are provided which favorably
reduce seasonal variation of generated power in a satellite
while simultaneously managing the composite system influence
that off pointed solar wing operation imposes on the satellite.
The composite system influence includes environmental torques
and may also include other system influences such as wing-to-body
thermal radiation, thruster plume impingement and antenna/sensor
field of view encroachment. In the simplest method
embodiment, the solar wings are tilted asymmetrically from a
nominal position to reduce seasonal power variations and are
further tilted symmetrically to generate a solar pressure
torque component which, on a diurnal average basis, compensates
a gravity gradient torque component that is substantially generated
by the net, off pointed configuration of the wings.

Abstract: In order to make application as independent as possible of a
particular SmartCard abstract interfaces representing data types
of a plurality of SmartCards are used for realizing SmartCard
access operations. These data types, referred to herein after as
"items" can be amongst others primitive JAVA types, arrays,
structures, cryptographic keys, counters or, complex, self
defined object types, as well. The interfaces each determine the
functionality of the programming objects and are used for
integration of the plurality of potential SmartCards into the
application by visual programming: the interfaces representing
the SmartCard objects are associated with objects of the
application by event control. To the same time, that interfaces
hide details specific to SmartCards, such as attributes as file
paths, offsets, addresses or similar things, which are not
relevant for the programming of the application itself or which
are dependent on the SmartCard type. The actual implementation of
that interfaces for the current SmartCard types is done, however,
specific for each card and independently of the development of
the application and is bound dynamically and automatically by an
item factory at runtime, dependent and specific for each of the
applied SmartCards. By doing this, all card specific operations
are encapsulated and one and the same application is compliant to
a plurality of different SmartCard types, including JAVA cards or
the commonly used file system-oriented SmartCards, as well.
