Patent EP-0654655-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PRIMOT JEROME
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1994-11-15
Abstract: In the interferometer proposed, an input lens defines a reference plane (PC), optically conjugate with the plane in which the wave front of a light beam is analysed. A bidimensional mesh grating (GR) is placed in this reference plane (PC), perpendicularly to the beam. The various partial beams due to the various diffraction orders are focused jointly by a first lens (L1) in an intermediate focal plane (PF), in the vicinity of which a mask (M) selects from these partial beams those which result from at least three different diffraction orders. A second lens (L2) brings the selected partial beams to a plane (PO), called the zero-sensitivity plane, which is conjugate with the plane of the grating. The interference image is observed in a working plane (PA) located at a chosen distance (d) from the zero-sensitivity plane. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling vegetation, as well as insect infestation, as are typically encountered in agricultural environments is disclosed. The apparatus is characterized by its construction to include a high pressure pump liquid spray material may be applied to vegetation at a pressure from about 100 psi to as much as about 4,000 psi. The apparatus further includes a heater whereby the liquid spray material may be heated to a temperature of from about 100 DEG  F. to about 240 DEG  F. before it is sprayed. The apparatus is constructed so that it can be attached to a standard tractor for ease of use.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de concaténation utilisé pour l'enchaînement d'une première trame numérique avec une seconde trame numérique, tel que la fin et le début des chaînes de diphonèmes adjacentes qui sont concaténées pour former la voix, qui est basé sur la détermination d'un point de mélange optimum des première et seconde trames numériques en réponse aux amplitudes des échantillons des première et seconde trames numériques. Les trames sont ensuite mélangées pour générer une séquence numérique représentant une concaténation des première et seconde trames en référence au point de mélange optimum. Le système fonctionne en faisant un premier calcul d'une trame étendue en réponse à la première trame numérique, et puis en recherchant un sous-ensemble de la trame étendue qui s'adapte à la seconde trame numérique au moyen d'une fonction de différence d'amplitude moyenne minimum dans les échantillons du sous-ensemble. Le point de mélange est le premier échantillon du sous-ensemble approprié. Afin de générer la forme d'onde concaténée, le sous-ensemble de la trame numérique est concaténé aux segments de début de la trame étendue pour produire la forme d'onde concaténée.

Abstract: Une sonde de détection de données relatives à l'air (100) peut être montée sur un profil de voilure ou un mât d'aile (106) de forme aérodynamique, qui est fixé à un véhicule aérien (104). Un orifice d'entrée (112) situé près du bord d'attaque du profil de voilure (106) permet l'admission de fluide dans une première cavité (114) et une seconde cavité (122) possédant un capteur de température (120), de telle sorte que la température totale du fluide peut être mesurée. La seconde cavité (122) forme un angle par rapport à la première cavité (114) afin que les particules entraînées soient dirigées vers un orifice d'échappement (118). Des ouvertures d'évacuation du fluide de la couche limite (130, 132), ménagées dans le profil de voilure (106) à l'interface entre les deux cavités, permettent seulement à un échantillon de fluide central sans particules de venir en contact avec l'élément capteur de température.

Abstract: Ancre de suture présentant une surface conique et un alésage dans lequel est introduite l'extrémité d'un outil d'introduction. L'extrémité d'introduction de l'outil d'introduction est constituée d'un matériau possédant des propriétés élastiques. L'alésage et la base de l'ancre de suture forment un angle par rapport à l'axe central de l'ancre de suture et sont de préférence parallèles l'un à l'autre. Pendant l'introduction, l'ancre de suture est réorientée pour passer dans le trou, ce qui provoque la flexion de l'extrémité élastique de l'outil d'introduction. Lorsque l'ancre de suture se trouve à l'intérieur du tissu osseux spongieux, les propriétés élastiques de l'outil d'introduction confèrent à l'ancre de suture une orientation dans laquelle ladite ancre ne peut plus passer dans le trou osseux, ancrant ainsi solidement l'ancre de suture dans l'os humain.

Abstract: A placement system and method wherein the placement of programs such as movies, audio programs, audio-visual programs and similar types of data, is determined as a function of the bandwidth-space ratio (BSR) of each disk in the system. The BSR of a disk is defined as the bandwidth of the disk divided by the space. The BSR of the programs on the disk is the total expected demand for the programs divided by the space required to store the programs. In a preferred embodiment, a Video Placement Manager (a software task operating under a server's main control program) places the programs on the disks so as to best match the BSR of movies stored on the disk and the BSR of the disk, thus minimizing the waste of both disk bandwidth and disk space.

Abstract: Upon receiving an interrupt request signal output from an INTC 2, a CPU 3 outputs an interrupt reception signal to the INTC 2. The INTC 2 outputs both a vector address and an interrupt mode signal to a bus in response to the interrupt reception signal. The INTC 2 which has received the vector address and the interrupt mode signal carries out the interrupt processing on the basis of these signals. In this way, since the INTC 2 outputs both the vector address and an interrupt processing mode signal by using the bus, it is possible to reduce a number of terminals for connecting the CPU 3 and the INTC 2 with each other.

Abstract: A water-tight splice connector made from an existing connector, including a first housing and a plurality of pins mounted in means for splicing the pins together located in the housing. A first seal member is located at one end of the housing behind the splicing means and pins. A retainer member engages the housing behind the seal member to protect and secure the seal member in place in the housing. A terminal locking member is insertable in the end of the housing opposite the end receiving seal member to lock and align the pins in place within the housing. A second seal member is located in a second housing containing female terminals for receiving the pins in the first housing. An interfacial seal member is located between the first housing and second housing to seal both housings from outside moisture and water. In the case where the first and second housings are used to connect the wires of two harnesses together, the splicing means is made smaller to permit the wires to bypass the splicing means.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing system, and method of operation, in which the system has a first message based environment and includes an encapsulation system to facilitate the operation of an application program written for a second message based environment, the application program being arranged to create objects which interact via messages. The encapsulation system comprises means for intercepting environment dependent messages sent to or from an object of the application program, and conversion means for receiving each intercepted message and converting that message into an equivalent message stream of the other message based environment. Further transmission means are provided for sending the message stream to its original destination. By such an approach the object is treated by the first environment as a standard object of that environment. By increasing the re-use of code, development costs are greatly improved, as are quality and maintainability, without a detrimental effect on performance.
