Abstract: An electrical energy meter comprises an electrically insulating housing (10) for securing relative to least two mains cables (22,24) each having a conductive core surrounded by a sheath of insulating material. The housing includes respective electrical contacts for piercing the insulating sheath of each cable, a current probe for measuring current flowing in at least one of the cables, and circuit means for calculating and displaying electrical energy as a function of the voltage across the contacts and the output of the current probe. An improved current probe is employed comprising a series of Rogowski coils equally spaced around the circumference of a circle, with the gap between two adjacent coils permitting the current-carrying conductor to be introduced into the loop. An alternative current probe employs two such concentric loops of coils, enabling compensation for the effects of external current source pickup.

Abstract: A method of sending mail electronically. A sender supplies information to a receiver on data media relative to mail to be sent, such as addressees and mail contents. The contents of the data media are fed into the receiver's computer system, in which the addressees are compared with a register that includes information as to whether or not respective addressees have an electronic mail address. The computer system sends the mail items by electronic mail to addressees that have an electronic mail address, and it sorts out as physical mail the mail to the remaining addressees to whom mail items are to be sent. Upon expiration of a predetermined time, the computer system sorts out such addressees who have not answered the electronic mail, for the purpose of sending them the mail item by physical mail.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for autofocusing of an optical instrument, especially a microscope (10). The autofocus scheme includes a digital gradient filter for generating a focus score from each captured image. Images may be captured at various positions and the focus scores analysed to determine a focus score maximum. The position corresponding to this maximum is then taken as the focus position. The spatial extent of the filter is preferably settable so that the digital filter settably selects elements of the image depending on their size in the image. Thus, the filtering process is controllable so that it is influenced by elements of the image whose size may be specified by the operator indirectly by way of the spatial extent of the filter. This allows the exclusion of small or large elements of the image from the autofocusing procedure which the filter should preferably ignore. The autofocus scheme is particularly useful for autofocusing biological specimens.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions qui sont normalement des adhésifs autocollants à température ambiante, mais également des absorbants de fluides, notamment de fluides corporels, et qui contiennent de 0,1 à 65 % en poids d'une matière de cyclodextrine. Ces compositions ont diverses applications dans le domaine médical. De faibles quantités de cyclodextrine, soit de 0,1 à 10 % en poids, peuvent conférer à l'adhésif des propriétés d'absorption d'odeurs, utiles dans des produits médicaux et de consommation. De faibles quantités d'autres ingrédients actifs tels que des constituants antimicrobiens, des ingrédients médicamenteux actifs, des parfums, etc., peuvent avantageusement former des complexes à l'intérieur des molécules de cyclodextrine. Ces compositions sont utiles, par exemple, comme adhésifs antibactériens, ou comme adhésifs blanchissant la peau, et préviennent ou diminuent les taches d'acné sur la peau, ou produisent une sensation de refroidissement ou de réchauffement sur la peau. Des quantités plus élevées de cyclodextrines, soit jusqu'à 65 % en poids de la composition, seules ou combinées à d'autres matières de charge absorbantes représentant au total jusqu'à 65 % en poids, sont utiles spécialement comme adhésifs barrière pour patients stomisés et comme pansements de plaies, et sont particulièrement utiles en tant qu'adhésifs absorbant les fluides possédant aussi des propriétés d'absorption d'odeurs. Ces adhésifs sont particulièrement utiles comme adhésifs de stomie.

Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding 24, 25 and a field winding 10 for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit 40 is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding 24, 25 such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit 40 to control the current in the armature winding 24, 25 in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.
