Inventor: LANGLEY ROBERT E
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1998-04-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for lossless compression and decompression of digital data. Input data is processed by a binary search procedure to achieve nominal compression in a single iteration. Repeated iterations performed on the output of the first iteration provide significant compression of all types of digital data. The method may be practiced in software on a personal computer or implemented in VLSI hardware using a large number of identical compression circuits connected in series to achieve a systolic pipe architecture.

Title: Rainure d'attenuation des contraintes dans des raccords de tubes
Inventor: ENDERLE DOUG
IPC: F16L15/06
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une rainure atténuant les contraintes subies par un raccord fileté pour tubes comportant un manchon, une tige et une rainure continue formée dans le filetage de l'un ou de l'autre. Le manchon comporte un filetage conique intérieur à filet sensiblement en queue d'aronde présentant des flancs de guidage, des flancs de charge, des bases et des sommets. Ledit filetage qui présente un début et une fin croît en épaisseur dans un sens. La tige comporte également un filetage conique extérieur à filet sensiblement en queue d'aronde présentant des flancs de guidage, des flancs de charge, des bases et des sommets, mais croissant en épaisseur dans le sens opposé. Il en résulte que les flancs respectifs complémentaires des deux filets entrent en contact pendant l'établissement du raccordement par vissage et forment des surfaces étanches qui résistent au passage des fluides dès que le raccordement s'est effectué. Une partie de l'un des filetages, intérieur ou extérieur, comporte une rainure continue usinée à la base. Cette rainure qui part soit du début, soit de la fin de l'un des filets et aboutit en un point situé entre le début et la fin du filet concerné permet de réduire la pression qui se développe pendant le vissage entre les surfaces d'étanchéité dans le lubrifiant appliqué sur les filets.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de localisation d'un défaut à la terre haute résistance dans un réseau de distribution d'énergie, sur la base de mesures d'intensité. Selon ce procédé, on mesure les variations de la tension homopolaire U0 et du courant homopolaire I0f de la ligne ou d'une partie de celle-ci, ainsi que leurs angles de phase. On calcule ces variations en fonction d'une moyenne à long terme (par exemple une période de 10 minutes). L'influence du courant à travers l'impédance homopolaire Z0f de la ligne saine est ensuite déduite des variations mesurées dans ledit courant homopolaire. Puis on choisit parmi les mesures d'intensité le courant correspondant à la ligne ou partie de ligne défectueuse présentant la valeur absolue d'intensité la plus forte et dépassant simultanément un seuil prédéterminé.

Abstract: Runflat tires are generally made by including a
stiff insert in the sidewall thereof. This insert
should be as stiff as possible to help support the
weight of the vehicle to which the tire is mounted in
situations where there is a loss of air pressure.
However, the material used in making the insert should
also exhibit low hysteresis and must be processable.
This highly beneficial combination of properties is
attained by utilizing the compositions of this
invention in making inserts of runflat tires. This
invention discloses a runflat tire which is comprised
of a generally toroidal-shaped carcass with an outer
circumferential tread, two spaced beads, at least one
ply extending from bead to bead and sidewalls
extending radially from and connecting said tread to
said beads; wherein said tread is adapted to be ground
contacting, wherein said sidewalls contain at least
one insert radially inward from said ply and wherein
the insert is comprised of (1) a cured polydiene
rubber that is coupled with a Group IVa metal selected
from the group consisting of tin, lead, germanium and
silicon, (2) from about 30 phr to about 130 phr of a
filler and (3) from 0.1 phr to 5 phr of a fatty acid.
The insert will generally extend radially inward from
under the outer circumferential tread toward the bead
to which the sidewall extends. It is normally
preferred for the cured polydiene rubber to be coupled
with tin.

Abstract: One end of a first transmission line 3 is

connected to an output terminal of an input-side matching
circuit 1 and with the emitter grounded, and one end of an
end-open stub 4 for blocking the passage of the doubled wave
is connected to the other end of the first transmission line
3. One end of a second transmission line 5 is connected to
the other end of the first transmission line 3, and one end
of an end-open stub 6 for blocking the passage of the
fundamental wave is connected to the other end of the second
transmission line 5. An input terminal of an output-side
matching circuit 7 is connected to the other end of the
second transmission line 5. The fundamental wave is
reflected toward the HBT 2 at the connecting point of the
end-open stub 6 for blocking the passage of the fundamental
wave, while the doubled wave is reflected toward the HBT 2
at the connecting point of the end-open stub 4 for blocking
the passage of the doubled wave, by which only harmonics of
quadrupled wave or higher-ordered waves are outputted via
the output-side matching circuit 7. Thus, the frequency
multiplier is capable of taking out fourth- or higher-ordered
harmonics efficiently with a simple constitution
using one high frequency transistor, and can be reduced in
size and stabilized in operation.

Abstract: A midsole assembly for an athletic shoe (1)
comprising a midsole and a corrugated sheet (4). The midsole (3) is
formed of soft elastic material. The corrugated sheet (4) is
disposed in a heel portion to a forefoot portion of the
midsole. Hardness of the upper midsole (3a) is different from that
of the lower midsole (3b). When the upper midsole (3a) has a lower
hardness than the lower midsole (3b), foot contact feeling of a
shoes wearer becomes better and cushioning properties can
be improved. On the other hand, when the lower midsole (3b) has
a lower hardness (3a) than the upper midsole, shock load on
landing is relieved and the cushioning properties can be
improved. Moreover, in this case, when the load from the sole
of a foot is applied to the upper midsole (3a) having a relatively
high hardness, the corrugated sheet (4) functions in such a way
that the lateral deformation of the upper midsole (3a) can be
prevented and running stability can be secured.
