Inventor: MORLEY MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A23L3/30
Filed: 1992-11-04
Abstract: Procédé de décongélation d'aliments congelés, caractérisé en ce que l'on dirige l'énergie d'ultra-sons sur un aliment congelé, en respectant les conditions suivantes: a) la fréquence doit être suffisamment élevée pour ne pas être considérablement affaiblie à la surface de l'aliment, et b) la fréquence doit être suffisamment basse pour qu'elle ne soit pas considérablement affaiblie à l'intérieur du corps de l'aliment décongelé. De cette manière, l'énergie produisant la décongélation provient principalement de l'absorption de l'énergie des ultra-sons dans la zone située entre toute partie décongelée et la partie sensiblement congelée, la zone de décongélation. Une condition supplémentaire est que le seuil de cavitation peut être augmenté, notamment par l'augmentation de la pression ambiante.

Abstract: A sensor consists of two ultrasonic transducers (12; 13) arranged opposite each other on a common axis (11) of a measuring tube (1), the said transducers being equipped with a wafer (14; 15) made of piezoceramic material for the emission and reception of ultrasonic waves. A medium (6) flows through the measuring tube (1) and changes the transit time of the ultrasonic wave trains passing through the measuring tube (1) in both directions. The transit times serve as a measure of the through-flow of the medium (6). Temperature-dependent errors of the flow measurement can be practically eliminated by holding the surface of the smaller or second electrode (26) in a prescribed relationship to the cross-sectional surface of the measuring tube (1) and by the edging of the two surfaces being similar. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communications cable in which plastic material which is disposed about each transmission medium thereof is characterized by a relatively low dielectric constant. The cable exhibits relatively low flame spread and low smoke generation while maintaining circuit integrity through a fire retardant composition which includes a mixture of an organic resin and first and second inorganic oxide constituents. The first inorganic oxide constituent is characterized by a melting point in the range of about 350 ° C. The second inorganic oxide constituent comprises a higher melting devitrifying frit which begins to crystallize at about 650 ° C. Advantageously, when the cable is exposed to high temperatures, the mixture of the first and second inorganic oxide constituents melts and forms a crusty layer which is interposed between the covering plastic material and other components of the cable.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sizing a surface-connected planar crack (8) through a gas- or liquid-filled gap (32). Ultrasonic energy having a frequency equal to the resonant frequency of the gap is emitted toward the crack edge (24). A first portion of the energy is back-scattered by the crack edge toward the emitter (at 20) in a detection mode and a second portion is scattered by the crack edge toward a surface (18) to which the crack is connected, which reflects the second portion toward a detector (at 30). The difference between the respective times-of-flight from emission to detection of the first and second portions is measured and used to determine the depth of penetration of the surface-connected crack. The paths traveled by the first and second portions of said emitted ultrasonic energy substantially intersect at the gap. A similar method also applies in sizing buried planar cracks (8') across fluid-filled gaps.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for the preparation of β-cyanoalkylsilanes by contacting a mixture comprising trichlorosilane and an olefinic nitrile with a phosphinoaliphaticsilane catalyst. The phosphinoaliphaticsilane catalysts are effective in the process as homogeneous catalysts or as supported heterogeneous catalysts. A preferred catalyst for the present process is a phosphinoaliphaticsilane on a solid support. The supported phosphinoaliphaticsilane catalysts surprisingly have greater activity then the analogous homogeneous catalyst when used at lower temperatures.

Abstract: A multi-bit SP-Vector is created to record the history of each page of a process. Each time an ager scans the accessed/not accessed bit flag of the page tables entires, the SP-Vector is updated to reflect whether or not the corresponding page was accessed. Thus depending upon the number of bits within the SP-Vector, a history of past usage is created, and pages may be selected for swapping out of physical memory based at least partially upon this history.

Abstract: Un système de chasse (10) commandé par batterie comprend une vanne de chasse (34) du type à fermeture automatique et à pilote, comportant une chambre de pression (46) reliée à un conduit pilote (52) commandé par une électrovanne (50) du type non verrouillant. Une vanne de commande de pression (48) est disposée entre la chambre de pression (46) et l'électrovanne afin de limiter la pression d'eau statique appliquée à l'électrovanne (50) lorsque celle-ci est fermée. L'utilisation de la vanne de régulation de pression (48) permet de réduire considérablement la consommation de puissance requise pour soulever un plongeur d'électrovanne à l'encontre de la pression hydraulique statique. Une fois que le plongeur est soulevé, l'électrovanne du type non verrouillant est excitée à l'aide d'un courant électrique réduit, suffisant pour maintenir la vanne en position ouverte. La consommation d'énergie par cycle de fonctionnement est globalement réduite. L'utilisation de ce type d'électrovanne permet d'éviter les fonctionnements défectueux associés aux électrovannes du type à verrouillage. D'autres modes de réalisation sont également décrits.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus having a vertically movable weight, and an input pedal mechanism engaged by the user to input an input power with a unidirectional exercise force at a user-selected velocity for moving the weight upward. Also included is a brake applying a negative braking power with a unidirectional braking force opposing the exercise force. The braking power has a braking velocity for permitting downward movement of the weight. A brake controller controls the application of the brake to maintain the braking velocity at a selected constant velocity for at least a selected portion of the user's exercise time. A differential member is coupled to the weight and receives the input power and the braking power. The differential member determines a differential between the user-selected velocity and the selected constant braking velocity, and applies the resultant to movement of the weight. If the user-selected velocity is greater than the braking velocity, the weight is lifted, and if the user-selected velocity is less than the selected constant braking velocity, the weight is lowered. If they match, the weight is maintained in a stationary elevated position.

Abstract: In a safety belt pretensioner, the safety belt (22) can be tightened around a passenger under the action of a cable (24) pulled by a piston (36), in a cylinder (26), driven by expanding gas from a gas generator (32). To reduce the length of travel of the piston (36) necessary to achieve sufficient tightening of the belt, and hence reduce the total size of the device, the cable (24) is passed over a pulley (40) attached to the piston (36), and also over a fixed pulley (46). On detection of a sudden deceleration the gas generator (32) is activated. Gas from the generator (32) drives the piston (36) along the cylinder (26). The cable (24), one end of which (60) is anchored to the cylinder, is then pulled over the two pulleys (40,46), causing a drum (18), onto which the second end of the cable (24) is anchored, to rotate in direction A. The rotating drum (18) engages the belt take-up shaft (20) in rotation via a clutch mechanism (19,19A,21). The safety belt (22), which is wound onto the shaft (20), is thereby tightened.
