Abstract: The invention relates to the analysis of successive data sets. A local intensity variation is formed from such successive data sets, that is, from data values in successive data sets at corresponding positions in each of the data sets. A region of interest is localized in the individual data sets on the basis of the local intensity variation. In particular the time derivative of the local intensity variation is used to localize the region of interest. The invention can be used notably for cardiological applications so as to separate the image of the myocardium from a sequence of 3D magnetic resonance reconstruction images.

Abstract: An adaptive data communication approach permits communication bus monitoring by using a reconfigurable bus monitor built into the CPU bus structure and adapted to report back to the CPU in response to detecting certain CPU-programmed events. In one particular example embodiment, a circuit arrangement having a CPU circuit communicates with another device over a communication channel while a reconfigurable circuit monitors the communication channel. The CPU circuit configures the reconfigurable circuit for monitoring any of various types of event expected to occur on the communication channel. The reconfigurable circuit collects signals passed on the communication channel and reports back to the CPU circuit when data indicative of the first event type occurs on the communication channel. In response to the data indicative of the monitored event, the CPU circuit reconfigures the reconfigurable circuit to monitor for another event type occurring on the communication channel and thereby permits for an adaptive evaluation of the communication channel. Another aspect of the invention is directed to the CPU redirecting data communication in response to this adaptive evaluation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure capacitive d'accumulation d'énergie électrique fabriquée sous la forme d'un dispositif à couche mince comprenant des électrodes sur des côtés opposés d'une couche diélectrique. Dans un mode de réalisation, une éponge métallique à surface active importante peut être incorporée dans la structure. La structure d'accumulation d'énergie peut comprendre soit une couche unique ou plusieurs couches de condensateurs reliées en série, de manière parallèle, soit une combinaison de tels agencements. La structure de condensateur à couches multiples peut être soit appliquée directement sur des structures de support de dispositifs portatifs ou transportables, soit elle peut être fabriquée sous la forme d'un film qui est appliqué comme un stratifié sur de telles structures. De plus, une seconde structure d'accumulation d'énergie conforme peut être produite, une telle structure étant façonnée de manière à s'adapter dans des vides présents dans des dispositifs et qui ne seraient peu voire pas utilisés autrement. Une structure d'accumulation à couche mince et à capacité élevée peut être fabriquée sur une surface d'un substrat de manière immédiatement adjacente à un circuit électronique chevauchant et consommant de l'énergie, de manière que l'alimentation soit disponible à une très courte distance de circuits d'exploitation de support ne pouvant tolérer de longues lignes d'alimentation conductrices. Des dispositifs portatifs de consommateur peuvent être fabriqués, l'intérieur des logements étant revêtus de manière conforme au moyen de la structure capacitive, aux fins de mise en place d'une accumulation d'énergie remplaçant des piles rechargeables ou jetables. Un film souple de la structure capacitive peut être fabriqué au moyen d'un procédé en continu et ce film peut être utilisé dans plusieurs conceptions différentes permettant d'obtenir une accumulation d'énergie légère, pouvant être adaptée à l'espace disponible et pouvant fournir aussi bien une haute énergie qu'une densité de puissance élevée.

Abstract: An air conditioning system includes a variable displacement compressor (1)
under flow rate control by a proportional variable orifice flow rate control
solenoid valve (12) in a discharge-side flow passage, and a constant differential
pressure valve (13) controlling a differential pressure (PdH - PdL) across the
variable orifice, developed depending on a flow rate Qd to a constant level,
and a normal charge type expansion valve (3). The expansion valve (3) always
maintains the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet in a superheated state. Even
during low load operation, high cooling efficiency is maintained. The
proportional flow rate control solenoid valve (12) controls in response to an
external signal a minimum flow. This prevents an oil shortage during low load
operation.

Abstract: A charging circuit, and method of performing the same, having a primary switching circuit (110, 140) that controls the transfer of energy between windings (110, 112) in a transformer based upon a reconstruction of a secondary winding current, in a primary winding side of the transformer, without directly sampling the secondary winding current, such that the secondary winding is isolated from the primary winding. The reconstruction of secondary winding current is performed by sampling a voltage across the primary winding reflected from the secondary winding, and integrating the sampled voltage using a current source driven according to the sampled voltage and a capacitor. The primary switching circuit operates to turn on an energizing of the primary winding when the integrated sampled voltage indicates that the flux density of the transformer, after a transfer of energy between primary and secondary windings, lowers to a predetermined level.

Abstract: An arrangement (10) for efficiently generating tunable pulsed laser output at 8-12 microns. The arrangement (10) includes a laser (12), a first optical parametric oscillator (14) including an x-cut rubidium titanyl arsenate crystal (20) and a second optical parametric oscillator (22) including a silver gallium selenide crystal (20). Energy from the laser (12) at a first wavelength is shifted by the crystal (20) and output at a second wavelength. The second wavelength results from a secondary process induced by a primary emission of energy at a third wavelength, the third wavelength resulting from a primary process generated from the first wavelength in the crystal. Mirror coatings are applied on the reflective elements (16 and/or 18) for containing the primary emission and enhancing the secondary process. The second optical parametric oscillator (22) then shifts the energy output by the first OPO (14) at the second wavelength to the desired fourth wavelength.
