Patent EP-1374326-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KELLEY RONALD J
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un appareil et à un procédé permettant une régulation de la température d'une pile à combustible au moyen de la capacité thermique différentielle du milieu de stockage du combustible. Le procédé de régulation de la température consiste à mesurer la température d'une ou de plusieurs piles à combustibles, à comparer la température à des valeurs cibles, à sélectionner un procédé de régulation parmi un ensemble de procédés de régulation disponibles en fonction du résultat de la comparaison et à utiliser ce procédé de régulation pour lancer et commander un cycle de régulation, et à actionner une unité de régulation du débit au moyen du procédé de régulation sélectionné de manière à modifier le débit du combustible entre un ou plusieurs contenants de stockage du combustible, chacun de ces contenants renfermant le milieu de stockage du combustible qui présente différentes enthalpies de formation et de dissociation. Le processus de régulation démarre avec une mesure de la température (110) d'un système de piles à combustible (100). La température mesurée est comparée à un ensemble préétabli de valeurs cibles idéales pour assurer des performances optimales des piles à combustible. Après l'étape de comparaison, un procédé de régulation (130) est sélectionné parmi une liste de procédés de régulation disponibles. Le procédé de régulation fait appel aux paramètres et à la logique nécessaires pour définir un processus d'initiation de l'écoulement du combustible (140) qui entraîne l'actionnement d'un moyen de régulation du débit (150). L'actionnement du moyen de régulation du débit change la température d'une ou de plusieurs piles à combustible et en modifie les paramètres de fonctionnement (160).

Title: Grouping of film-like or sheet-like materials
Inventor: THOEING HEINRICH
IPC: A61F13/00
Filed: 2002-04-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grouping a multitude of film-like or sheet-like materials, which are stacked in a magazine ( 20 ) and which consist of at least one material layer, using at least one suction apparatus ( 42 ), which suctions the film-like or sheet-like materials in a clocked matter while removing them from the magazine, whereby one film-like or sheet-like material at a time directly rests with a portion of its surface that forms a contact surface against the suction device. To this end, one portion of the magazine contents consists of gas-impermeable film-like or sheet-like materials whereas another portion contains film-like or sheet-like materials that are each provided with at least one gas-permeable zone. The invention develops a method for grouping film-like or sheet-like materials during which a number of film-like or sheet-like materials can be grouped without impairing the speed of subsequent processing.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un élément et un procédé de modélisation de déformation dans un corps qui réduit le blocage volumétrique. L'invention concerne également un élément et un procédé de modélisation qui réduit la complexité algorithmique. Le nombre de noeuds par élément est réduit, tout en maintenant une réduction des contraintes par l'utilisation d'un élément composite. L'élément de modélisation peut plus aisément être soumis au maillage adaptatif grâce à l'utilisation d'éléments de premier ordre. L'élément de modélisation présente un facteur de forme dans l'élément parent et dans les sous-éléments afin d'améliorer la précision et l'efficacité computationnelle. L'incorporation de pression constante sur l'élément parent produit un rapport de contrainte plus approprié.

Title: Moteur a combustion interne a arbre vertical dote d'une prise de puissance sur le dessus
Inventor: SHOEMAKER RICHARD W
IPC: F02B/
Filed: 2002-10-22
Abstract: Un moteur à combustion interne comprend un carter et un vilebrequin monté verticalement dans le carter. Le vilebrequin présente une extrémité s'étendant à l'extérieur de la partie inférieure du carter permettant la fixation à un outil primaire, tel qu'une lame de tondeuse à gazon, lequel est entraîné par le moteur. Une autre extrémité du vilebrequin s'étend à l'extérieur de la partie supérieure du carter et présente un accouplement permettant de raccorder un dispositif accessoire. Le dispositif accessoire peut être fixé en permanence ou amovible au moteur. De préférence, un couvercle recouvre la partie supérieure du carter et présente une surface extérieure d'où s'étend un puits en direction du carter. L'accouplement est saillant dans le puits mais il ne s'étend pas à l'extérieur au-delà de la surface extérieure du couvercle, de manière que le puits protège ainsi l'accouplement rotatif contre un contact accidentel avec l'utilisateur du matériel sur lequel le moteur est monté. Une coiffe peut aussi fermer le puits lorsqu'un dispositif accessoire n'est pas relié à l'accouplement pour protéger davantage contre un contact accidentel.

Inventor: KHAWAND JEAN
IPC: G10H1/12

Abstract: A percussive sound contains both harmonic and non-harmonic frequency spectral content. To reproduce a particular percussive sound, such as the sound of a drum or cymbal or hand clap, for example, the harmonic and non-harmonic content are determined empirically. Also, and tendency of the harmonic content to change over time, and the temporal aspects of attack, sustain, and decay are likewise determined empirically. These attributes are represented in the invention in a percussive sound file which includes a harmonic content profile (502), noise shape filter (504), Doppler shift profile (506), and a time wave shaping profile (508). The harmonic content profile is used by an FM generator (114) to generate a frequency modulated signal (116). The noise shape profile is used by a noise generator (134) to generate and shape the non-harmonic spectral content. While the sound is being generated, the Doppler shift profile is used to adjust the base frequency of the FM signal. The harmonic and non-harmonic signals are scaled (142, 144) and summed (146). The summed signal is then shaped (150) in time to substantially simulate the attack, sustain, and decay properties of the sound. The shaped, summed signal is then played by an audio circuit and converted to an acoustic signal.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une armature d'atténuation de choc en cas d'accident de la circulation comprenant des éléments transversaux qui sont reliés par des éléments latéraux. Chaque élément latéral se trouve en intégralité sur un côté respectif d'un axe longitudinal central de l'armature, et un ou plusieurs éléments de tension sont fixés aux éléments latéraux et s'étendent entre les éléments latéraux en traversant l'axe longitudinal. Chaque élément de tension comprend un fusible mécanique qui peut fonctionner pour perdre sa tension lorsqu'un premier et un second élément latéral imposent une charge de traction excessive à l'élément de tension. Lorsque le fusible mécanique perd sa tension au cours d'un choc, les éléments latéraux sont relâchés simultanément pour se déplacer vers l'extérieur, en s'éloignant de l'axe longitudinal, de sorte qu'ils s'affaissent d'une façon coordonnée entre les côtés gauche et droite de l'armature.

Abstract: A target driving force is calculated by an ECU (30) on the basis of an
accelerator (40) opening and a vehicle speed, and a rounded target driving
force value (or a corrected target driving force), as gradually changed from
the driving force, is determined in the course to reach the target driving
force. On the other hand, a rounded target power value (or a corrected
target power) is determined on the basis of the rounded target driving
force value. Moreover, the gear ratio of a CVT (20) is controlled according to a
target power calculated on the basis of the target driving force, and the
load on an engine (10) is controlled on the basis of the rounded target power
value, so that the reduction in the power characteristics or the physical
discomfort, as might otherwise be caused by the difference in the response
between the engine and the CVT, is loosened.
