Abstract: Dispositif de mise en rotation destiné à mettre en rotation le bras d'une excavatrice ou machine analogue, comprenant des plaques de fixation (1 et 2) pour le bras et le godet, dotées d'éléments de fixation, un corps (3), des patins d'accouplement (4), un matériau de friction (5), une plaque de fixation (6) pour le corps, des plaques (7, 8) de palier à glissement à passages de graissage, un cylindre de blocage (14), un cylindre rotatif (12), un accumulateur hydraulique, une soupape de blocage, des soupapes directionnelles, des contacts de fin de course, et un agencement de commande, ainsi que les conducteurs électriques et hydrauliques requis. Le dispositif de mise en rotation est accouplé entre deux bras ou éléments similaires, par exemple un godet et un bras d'une excavatrice, ce qui permet de modifier en continu la position du godet de la manière requise et la plus avantageuse pour la phase de travail précise. Grâce au dispositif selon l'invention, il est possible de faire tourner rapidement les bras d'une excavatrice, d'une perforatrice de roches, d'un tracteur forestier, d'un élévateur à nacelle, d'une grue sur camion etc. vers une position de travail avantageuse. Par exemple, lorsqu'une excavatrice est utilisée dans des espaces confinés, à proximité des murs, ou sur des sites de travaux routiers dans des zones à forte circulation, l'invention permet de faire tourner le godet vers une position angulaire arbitraire, ce qui en accroît sensiblement la portée ainsi que l'étendue du contact visuel du conducteur par rapport à la machine. L'invention permet également à la machine de décrire un mouvement de travail arqué ou circulaire. La rotation du godet et les mouvements de travail peuvent également s'effectuer semi-automatiquement ou entièrement automatiquement par commande du système hydraulique au moyen d'un agencement de commande approprié. Les coûts d'excavation seront ainsi réduits, ainsi que la masse de terre à déplacer, puisque l'emplacement de l'excavatrice ne doit pas être changé avec la même fréquence.

Abstract: A process and device for shaping surfaces by laser machining and which are used for photorefractive keratectomy and shaping contact lenses. The shaping is performed in stages so that after any interruption in the process, a complete partial correction of the entire surface is obtained. A computing unit receives data from input units and directs data to a block generator which associates laser machining coordinates to enable the removal of individual surface layers. A sequence generator gathers the data generated by the block generator into blocks which correspond to an individual ablation areas, and orders the blocks into sequences. A block sequence transmitted by the sequence generator acts upon a laser beam deflector and beam shaping unit such that the complete partial correction of the surface is obtained for each block sequence. A central processor coordinates control of the laser, the beam shaping unit and the laser beam deflector.

Abstract: Comparators (CP1-CP10) receiving reference voltages (Vref1-Vref10) are provided. An output signal (APout) from a differential amplifier (4) is applied to these comparators (CP1-CP10). Here, the relationship of Vref1>Vref2>Vref3>Vref4>Vref5>Vbias>Vref6>Vref7>Vref8>Vref9>Vref10 is established. The output signals (CPout1-CPout10) from the comparators (CP1-CP10) are applied to a data latch/threshold level select circuit (101). The select circuit (101) retains the maximum peak level of the prior comparison by the comparators (CP1-CP5), and retains the minimum peak value of the prior comparison by the comparators (CP6-CP10). The select circuit (101) selects the output signal of the comparator of one lower level than the comparator that detects the maximum peak level at the prior comparison to supply the selected signal to a RS flip-flop circuit (13), and selects the output signal of the comparator of one higher level than the comparator that detects the minimum peak level at the prior comparison to supply the selected signal to the RS flip-flop circuit (13). The RS flip-flop circuit (13) outputs a detection signal (Dout) of a VISS signal in response to these select signals (SCPouth, SCPout1). As a result, a VISS signal detection circuit can reliably detect only the VISS signal without detecting the erase noise. <IMAGE>

Un routeur combiné à chaque commutateur dans les centres d'appel, est conçu pour appliquer les règles d'acheminement et sélectionner des stations d'agents afin de transférer les appels reçus aux points d'acheminement, les stations d'agents sélectionnées pouvant être situées dans un des centres d'appel en question. Dans un aspect de l'invention, le routeur, après avoir sélectionné une station d'agent dans un centre d'appel à distance du centre d'appel où un appel à acheminer est d'abord reçu, demande un numéro virtuel de point d'acheminement au centre d'appel à distance, puis transfère l'appel à ce nouveau point d'acheminement. Le deuxième centre d'appel achemine alors l'appel transféré à la station d'agent finale. On peut utiliser des statistiques pour l'acheminement et des données concernant les appelants-clients peuvent être acheminées pour affichage à la même station d'agent que celle où sont acheminés les appels.

Granted: 2007-11-28
Abstract: A multi-layer piezoelectric transformer device includes first and second electroactive members having electrodes bonded to each of their opposing major faces; and a bonding layer disposed therebetween. The first and second electroactive members are polarized in a thickness direction, between their two major faces, such that when energized by an electric field the first and second electroactive members longitudinally strain. The first and second electroactive members are arranged such that deformation of one electroactive member results in corresponding deformation of the other electroactive member. The device provides substantial transformation ratios in which relatively high power may be transferred in relation to the size of the unit, operability over wide input and output frequency bandwidths, and electrical isolation of the voltage and current at the input to the device from the voltage and current at the output of the device.

Abstract: A vacuum-assisted venous drainage reservoir of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery with both hard and soft shell reservoirs. The system creates regulated negative pressure of approximately -70 to -25 mmHg within a sealed hard shell reservoir, or within a sealed housing surrounding a soft shell reservoir. The reservoir has a blood inlet for supplying blood removed from the patient and a blood outlet leading to an oxygenator. A vacuum regulator subassembly for manually setting the predetermined desired vacuum, a valve subassembly for manually enabling and disabling the negative pressure, a pressure relief valve, and/or a vacuum stabilizer to reduce the severity of large changes in vacuum pressure may be provided. A flexible membrane in the hard shell reservoir may expand to contact the blood surface and reduce blood/air interactions. A volume sensor for the hard shell reservoir may be used in a feedback loop for controlling the vacuum, circulation pump, or other device. A piece of air-permeable in the venous return line enables the use of smaller cannulas suitable for minimally invasive surgery. The reservoir need not be positioned well below the patient as in conventional gravity venous drainage configurations, thus adding flexibility to the operation room layout and enabling a reduction in the required extracorporeal blood prime volume.
