Abstract: An electronic ballast for a fluorescent lamp includes a
rectifier circuit (11), a filter circuit (16), a high
frequency generating and control circuit (17), a starting
circuit (18) for the fluorescent tube and main (14) and
auxiliary (13) circuits used to increase the power factor
of the ballast and to suppress the harmonic current
interference. Because of the introduction of the main and
the auxiliary current-uninterrupted circuits, the input
curent is continuous and follows the variation with the
input voltage and the power factor of the ballast is
increased while the post high frequency generating and
control circuit tends to be stable in operation.
Furthermore, the interference of the harmonic current for
the ballast will be suppressed effectively, the
contamination to power network will be reduced and the
electrical security in operation will be enhanced.

Abstract: A module for executing SCSI commands including a computer
process (TSM) which communicates with a SCSI bus (15), which
carries SCSI commands. Ordinarily, the SCSI commands cause
specific actions in SCSI devices: for example, a given SCSI
command may cause a SCSI printer to eject a sheet of paper. The
module (TSM) also responds to the SCSI commands, but in a manner
determined by its programming, and not necessarily consistent
with SCSI conventions. For example, the module may respond to
the command just identified by looking up the time-of-day, and
presenting the time-of-day to the SCSI bus, for any interested
parties to observe.

Abstract: In order to avoid damage to the inner walls of the arc furnace (1) and a reduction of the electric power when material (5) to be melted has been partly burned down in an arc furnace (1), additives (10) are fed to the filling opening of a hollow electrode (7) by means of a loose-material conveyor (25) during this critical melting phase. An arc (6) between the hollow electrode (7) and a melt (4) in the arc furnace (1) is thereby shortened. A loose-material container (9) is arranged at the end of the loose-material conveyor (25) at a distance from the electrode and can easily be separated from the hollow electrode (7) in order to permit the tilting of the arc furnace (1) to empty out the melt (4). Problematic waste materials which are to be disposed of, such as for example filter dust, can be added to the additives (10).

Abstract: L'identification de données cachées, tels que des points de commande pilotés en fonction des caractéristiques dans une image, à partir d'un ensemble de données pouvant être observées, telle que l'image, est réalisée selon une approche en deux étapes. La première étape comprend un processus d'apprentissage, dans lequel un certain nombre d'ensembles de données échantillons, par exemple, des images, sont analysés pour identifier la correspondance entre les données pouvant être observées, comme les aspects visuels de l'image, et les données cachées requises, comme les points de commande. Deux modèles sont créés. Un modèle à aspect de caractéristique uniquement est créé à partir des exemples alignés de la caractéristique dans les données observées. En outre, chaque ensemble de données marqué est traité pour générer un modèle couplé des données observées alignées et des données cachées associées. Dans le mode de réalisation de traitement de l'image, ces deux modèles peuvent être des modèles d'ensembles affines de l'apparence d'un objet et du couplage entre cet aspect et un ensemble d'emplacements sur la surface de l'objet. Dans la deuxième étape du procédé, la caractéristique modelée est localisée dans un ensemble de données non alignées, non marquées, à l'aide du modèle d'aspect de la caractéristique uniquement. Cet emplacement est utilisé comme point d'alignement et le modèle couplé est ensuite appliqué aux données alignées, ce qui permet d'obtenir une estimation des valeurs des données cachées pour cet ensemble de données. Dans l'exemple de traitement d'image, le modèle d'aspect de l'objet est comparé à différents emplacements d'images. Les emplacements correspondants sont ensuite utilisés comme points d'alignement pour estimer les emplacements sur la surface de l'objet à partir de l'aspect dans cette image alignée et à partir du modèle couplé.

Abstract: A ratio (Nc/Lc), in a condenser core portion (2), of the
number (Nc) of louvers (220) to a width (Lc) of a condenser
cooling fin (22), and a ratio (Nr/Lr), in a radiator core portion
(3), of the number (Nr) of louvers to a width (Lr) of a radiator
cooling fin (32) satisfy that the ratio in one core portion,
out of the condenser and the radiator core portions, a required
radiation amount of which is larger than that of the other core
portion is larger than the ratio in the other core portion. 
     Thus, in the core portion having a small required
radiation amount, the number of louvers relative to the width
of the cooling fin is small thereby decreasing the heat transfer
ratio. However, by this, the air flow resistance in this core
portion decreases thereby increasing an air flow amount. Thus,
the radiation amount of the core portion having a large required
radiation amount increases.

Abstract: A stator vane assembly for a gas turbine engine is provided which
includes a plurality of stator vane segments 22 and a seal ring 24,26.
Each stator vane segment has an outer platform 28 , an inner platform
30, and an airfoil 32 extending between the platforms 28,30. The
stator vane segments collectively form an annular structure. The seal
ring 24,26 includes an abradable bearing pad 44 which extends out
from an axial surface 46 of the body 42 of the seal ring 24,26. The
seal ring 24,26 is attached to a non-rotating member within the
engine, positioned in close proximity to the stator vane segments 22.
The abradable bearing pad 44 extends out from the body 42 of the
seal ring 24,26 in the direction of the stator vane segments. Contact,
and consequent friction, between the individual stator vane segments
22 and the abradable bearing pad 44 causes the abradable bearing pad
44 to abrade, thereby creating a sealing surface reflective of the
opposing stator vane segments 22 in contact with the abradable
bearing pad 44.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une commande de puissance améliorée dans un système de communications en boucle fermée. Une station de base (16a, 16b) surveille la qualité d'une liaison de retour entre elle et un station mobile (12) selon plusieurs procédés. Lorsque la qualité de la liaison de retour devient inacceptable, la station de base (16a, 16b) et la station mobile (12) entrent dans un autre mode de fonctionnement, passant d'un mode de retour rapide de la commande de puissance (voie de retour à largeur de bande élevée et une faible temporisation de la commande de puissance) à un mode de retour lent de la commande de puissance (voie de retour à largeur de bande faible ou temporisation élevée de la commande de puissance). La station mobile (12) utilise plusieurs procédés pour adapter le débit ou le volume des messages de commande de puissance qu'elle renvoie à la station de base (16a, 16b). Dans cet autre mode, la station mobile (12) augmente la puissance de ses signaux de retour. En outre, si la station mobile (12) est à l'état de transfert temporaire, elle augmente de la même manière la puissance de ses signaux de retour. Si la station de base (16a, 16b) détermine que les messages de commande de puissance reçus sont inacceptables, la station de base utilise des messages de commande de puissance qu'elle reçoit d'un contrôleur de station de base (14).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un galet et un procédé consistant à faire passer des supraconducteurs entre des galets. Le galet comprend deux corps de galet disposés à l'opposé, lesdits corps de galet déterminent des surfaces de galets opposés. Les organes sont disposés de manière à entraîner les deux éléments galet autour de leurs axes de symétrie de manière que l'élément à faire passer entre les galets soit tiré entre la surface de galet par le frottement généré entre l'élément qui doit passer entre les galets et les surfaces des galets. Selon l'invention, le galet est configuré de telle sorte que les corps de galet comprennent au moins deux corps de galet annulaires ou tubulaires. Ces corps de galet annulaires ou tubulaires présentent ensuite des surfaces qui forment une piste annulaire. Le galet présente un dispositif de pression qui est disposé de manière à s'appuyer sur la piste annulaire de manière que les surfaces de galets soient pressées les unes contre les autres. Le dispositif de pression est configuré et placé de manière à s'appuyer sur une partie seulement de la piste annulaire sur les galets annulaires ou tubulaires. Il est ainsi possible d'effectuer le passage entre les galets en utilisant des diamètres de galet très grands sans que les galets ne risquent d'être déformés pendant le processus de passage entre les galets. En ce qui concerne plus particulièrement le passage des supraconducteurs entre les galets, les expériences montrent que l'on obtient des propriétés améliorées pour le supraconducteur qui est passé entre les galets.
