Abstract: Procédé d'analyse de groupes de relèvements (A, B, C et D) obtenus de sources éloignées par un réseau de postes de radiogoniométrie. Chaque relèvement comporte une erreur UE et un procédé de triangulation est utilisé pour établir la position des sources. Une combinaison de relèvements est obtenue, à raison d'un relèvement par station. Chaque relèvement de la combinaison est utilisé tour à tour comme un rayon (30) dirigé vers une source. Le procédé de triangulation produit une barre (31, 32, 33) de points d'intersection le long du rayon pour un relèvement de la combinaison sur deux, chaque barre correspondant à l'erreur UE d'un relèvement sur deux. Le nombre de chevauchements entre des paires de barres le long d'un rayon est totalisé pour produire une valeur de rayon. Les valeurs de rayons pour tous les rayons de la combinaison sont ajoutées pour former une valeur de fiabilité de repérage pour une source qui peut être associée à la combinaison ou au groupe de relèvements. Des procédés destinés à rejeter de repérages redondants associés à des sous-ensembles de relèvements à l'intérieur d'un groupe sont aussi décrits.

Abstract: The transducer has a hermetically sealed biocompatible housing (10) one wall of which is designed as a membrane (11) capable of vibrations and forming a heteromorphous composite element together with a piezoelectric ceramic disc (12). Mechanical vibrations of the housing membrane are decoupled via a mechanically rigid element (12) fixed in the central membrane region. This element is designed as a bracket in such a way that its shape and local position represent an artificial anvil on positioning of the transducer housing adjoining the tympanic cavity from the mastoid, to which anvil coupling elements (28, 29, 39, 40, 42, 43) can be fixed which transmit the vibrations of this artificial ossicle mechanically to the inner ear. It is possible to use different coupling elements corresponding to each particular individual pathological situation. The entire transducer system can be applied with free vision of the surgeon and without any extensive space-providing interventions in the anatomy of the middle ear.

Abstract: A method for acquiring the node identifier of a node in a data processing input/output (I/O) system having a plurality of nodes. This procedure is part of the initialization of each node in the I/O system and may be used to establish the configuration of the I/O system such that if a connection breaks or a fault occurs between nodes, the configuration can be confirmed after the break or fault is corrected. This prevents data from being sent to the wrong device if lines were connected in a different configuration during the correction of a fault. The node identifier is a worldwide-unique identifier such that only one node is identified by a node identifier. The node identifier contains a validity code that specifies if the node identifier is valid. Also disclosed is a retry procedure for retrying the acquisition of a node identifier if the acquired node identifier is not valid, and a deferral procedure which defers the retry procedure if a link is not available.

IPC: F02B1/02

Abstract: NO x  emissions are reduced in two stages during operation of an engine equipped with an exhaust gas catalyst system. In the first stage, a reduction in NO x  emissions is effected in the exhaust leaving the combustion chamber. In the second stage a further reduction in NO x  emissions is effected in the exhaust passing through the exhaust catalyst system. Both of the two-stage reductions are brought about in the same way, namely (a) by use of a suitable fuel composition containing at least one fuel-soluble cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl compound in an amount equivalent to up to 1/32 gram of manganese per gallon of fuel; and b) by enhancing the NO x  control activity of at least the catalyst by prior operation of the engine on such fuel composition, either intermittently or continuously. Such prior operation constitutes a run-in or conditioning stage of sufficient total duration (continuous or interrupted) so that substantial reductions in NO x  emissions are thereafter continuously achieved in subsequent operations of the engine. The efficacy of the invention are demonstrated by conducting a fleet test involving 48 cars, each operated for 75,000 miles during the test. Dramatic reductions in NO x  were achieved. Moreover, no significant catalyst pluggage, or increase in exhaust gas back pressure, or adverse effect upon oxygen sensors were experienced in the fleet test.

Abstract: An asynchronous high density segmented programmable array logic device utilizes a programmable switch interconnection matrix to couple an array of symmetric programmable logic blocks. Each programmable logic block includes programmable output logic macrocells, programmable input/output macrocells, programmable input logic macrocells, a logic allocator and a programmable product term array. Further, the switch matrix provides centralized global routing with a fixed path independent delay. The programmable switch interconnection matrix decouples the output logic macrocells from the product term array. The logic allocator decouples the product term array from the output logic macrocells, and the I/O macrocells decouple the output logic macrocells from the package I/O pins. Thus, the architecture of this invention is easily scalable to higher density devices without compromising speed. The logic allocator steers product terms from the product term array to selected logic macrocells so that no logic product terms are permanently allocated to a specific logic macrocell. Each output logic macrocell is provided three dedicated control product terms from the programmable product term array and each I/O macrocell is provided one control product term from the programmable product term array in one embodiment. These four dedicated product terms are used to implement asynchronous applications. Each asynchronous programmable logic device of this invention is derived from the core of a programmable logic device in a family of synchronous programmable logic devices.
