Abstract: A helical antenna (10) has a helix (12) supported by a helix support (14).
The helix support (14) includes at least one piece of flexible sheet (20)
having its two surfaces (28,30) covered with a layer antistatic material
(32). The flexible sheet (20) is curlable into a revolution surface
configuration to form a revolution surface-shaped support section (20') for
at least partially supporting a portion of the helix component (12) there
around. A grounding mechanism (42) electrically grounds the external
sheet surface (28) to the helix (12) and the two sheet surfaces (28,30) to
one another when in the revolution surface configuration while a locking
mechanism (66,68) locks the flexible sheet (20) in the revolution surface
configuration. The combination of the helix (12) and the flexible support
(14) renders the antenna (10) structurally relatively rigid in all
directions (A,B,C).

Title: Procede d'excitation avec une puissance optimale de moteurs a courant continu sans balais
Inventor: LINDEMANN HARALD
IPC: H02P6/18
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'excitation avec une puissance améliorée de moteurs à courant continu sans balais. Selon ledit procédé, la différence temporelle entre deux passages par zéro (TN1, TN2) (inversions de sens) de la tension induite d'une bobine de moteur non alimenté entre deux phases moteur est mesurée. Cette différence temporelle est utilisée comme mesure pour le moment de commutation suivant immédiatement de la phase de moteur suivante, selon un algorithme simple. Ainsi une influence est exercée avant chaque passage à l'état suivant. Les moments de chaque passage par zéro (TN1, TN2) dépendent de la charge. Ainsi, un passage fondé sur un algorithme adapté peut se faire par réaction directe même en cas de changement de charge brusque.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of delivering solid material at a position far enough from any surrounding solid with high enough target density without scattering debris to the environment. In the present invention, radiation is generated from plasma produced by laser irradiation on a material. This material is a cluster of particles that is composed of many fine particles bound together with a binder that vaporizes at temperature lower than melting point of fine particles. Density of particles in a particle-cluster 8 is increased by vaporizing a solvent 7 by heating a droplet 5 with the irradiation of laser 6. Solvent of a droplet occupies large fraction of the droplet in order to stabilize droplet generation. This solvent is vaporized prior to delivery to a vacuum chamber 9 for plasma generation. This vaporization helps to avoid degradation of vacuum of the chamber 9. The diameter of a particle-cluster thus condensed is several tens µm.

A desired ratio between dispersed and dispersing media is maintained with the aid of a self-adjusting pneumatic system by increasing oscillation and reducing gas-flow rate in the jet supplied to the material socket. The inventive device for carrying out said method for bead-blasting processing comprises a nozzle, a reservoir provided with a dosing unit which are connected to each other by a transport pipe and to a pressure gas source by means of a gas conduit. Said nozzle is embodied in the form of a channel whose length ranges from 30 to 120 diameters thereof. Said dosing unit comprises a wideband acoustical oscillator, a multi-circuit vibration exciter provided with an ejector, an activator and a centrifugal moisture separator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for dynamic adjustment of the receiver gain during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. To account for distortions introduced by the receiver that may be different at various receiver gains, a reference radio frequency (rf) signal is applied to the receive chain by an additional antenna. In some disclosed embodiments the reference signal is adjusted such that its frequency lies at the border of the frequency band detected by the MR scan. Comparing the a priori known amplitude and phase of the reference signal with the amplitude and phase of the received reference signal allows determination of the distortions introduced at the respective receiver gain which are subsequently corrected. In some disclosed embodiments, the reference signal is used to synchronize the modulation and demodulation units of a wireless transceiver system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des structures d'échelle nanométrique ou de moyenne échelle fabriquées sur la surface d'un substrat (silicium, par exemple) par rassemblement d'agrégats atomiques (antimonie ou bismuth, par exemple) dans des rainures en V. Ces structures, qui se présentent de préférence sous la forme de nanocâbles, sont utilisées comme masques de gravure pour la gravure ultérieure du substrat. Dans un mode de réalisation, les rainures en V sont métallisées (avec du titane ou de l'or, par exemple) avant dépôt des agrégats. Dans ce cas, l'utilisation de nanostructures (antimonie ou bismuth, par exemple) comme masque de gravure donne lieu à la formation de nanostructures du métal sous-jacent (titane ou or, par exemple). Ainsi, les dimensions des nanocâbles sont transférées dans le film métallique sous-jacent, et le procédé permet de fabriquer des nanocâbles à partir de matériaux, tels que le titane ou l'or, qui ne peuvent être déposés comme agrégats.
