Patent EP-0634801-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERGEVIN BENOIT
IPC: H02S40/12

Abstract: This invention relates to a photovoltaic system comprising a casing having mounted therein a plurality of solar cells. The casing has a front and opposite thereto, a rear. The front of the casing is provided with a light-transmitting panel for transmitting solar light to the solar cells. The rear is a double wall. A first wall is in contact with the back of the solar cells, and on its side away from the solar cells is of a dark-opaque colour, solar-light absorbing surface. The second wall is a light-transmitting enclosure of the dark-opaque colour side of the first wall, but spaced therefrom so as to produce a greenhouse effect. A method to remove snow, frost and ice over a photovoltaic system involves maintaining the light-transmitting panel at an angle with the horizontal, receiving reflected solar rays from the surroundings of the photovoltaic systems through the light-transmitting enclosure to the outer side being dark-opaque colour to be absorbed by the outer side and converted into heat to be transmitted to, and thereby to raise the temperature of the light-transmitting panel.Simultaneously the light-transmitting enclosure creates a greenhouse effect and thereby an additional temperature increment to further raises the temperature of the light-transmitting panel to melt or sublimate snow, frost and ice present thereon.

Abstract: A hollow shaft of a screw conveyor for transporting powder material receives pressurized air in its interior. A plurality of openings through the wall of the hollow shaft permits the pressurized air to exit energetically to prevent build-up of the powder material on the inside wall of the casing of the screw conveyor. In one embodiment, the openings are slits angled with respect to the axis of the screw conveyor at about the same angle as the helical blade. This produces a swirling flow of air which, in addition to preventing build-up of materials, enhances the advance of the powder material and, when the powder material is a mixture of different materials, helps prevent separation of the materials during transport.

Abstract: The monitoring method involves interrupting the door (3) movement if an obstruction is encountered. A physical operating parameter is measured during door movement depending on the movement distance or time. A movement interruption signal is generated if the measured value for the actual movement deviates from the desired value by greater than a defined amount, the desired value having been measured and stored during unobstructed operation. The derivative of the movement parameter is formed against distance or time for each measurement value. An interruption signal is generated if the current value for the movement characteristic differs to a defined extent from the corresp. value of a desired movement characteristic.

The solder layer extends along most of the height of each cover side, so the two rails and the solder layer between them serve as a single rigid beam. The cover assembly can be, instead, spot welded at a plurality of locations at each side of the card, to weld the two rails facewise together.

Abstract: The testing method is divided into several processes. A conductor arrangement is tested with each measurement process. With the first process, a field measurement is carried out to determine short circuits between the individual networks and a resistance measurement is carried out to determine open circuits or interruptions in the networks. From the data sets generated in the field measurement, complex conductor values are determined between at least one antenna used for the field measurement and the measured network. The complex conductor values are used for the further measurement processes. With these further measurement processes, short circuits between the networks and/or breaks in the networks are determined by measuring a complex current conductor value between each network and the antenna and comparing that value with a reference value.

Abstract: A multi-nodal computing system is connected by a communication network. A first node of the multi-nodal system includes apparatus for transmitting an information transfer request to a second node, the request including identification data that the second node can use to access the selected information. The second node includes memory for storing the requested information and a message output control structure. A processor is responsive to received identification data from the first node to access selected information that is defined by the data. The processor is further responsive to the information transfer request to insert the identification data received from the first node directly into a message output control structure. The processor then initiates an output operation by employing the identification data in the message output control data structure to access the identified information and to communicate the information to the first node. In such manner, no processor interrupt is required (with software intervention) to enable the requested information to be transferred, as pointers to that information are already included in the message output control structure, with the output mechanism in the second node employing that output control structure to access and transmit the requested information.

Abstract: A signal adaptive loop filter reduces blocking effects and ringing noise
of motion-compensated image data. In the loop filter, binary edge map
information on which global thresholding and local thresholding with respect
to the motion-compensated image are reflected, is used to judge whether the
binary edge map information within a predetermined size of the filter window
is either a homogeneous or an edge area. If it is judged as a homogeneous
area, predetermined first weight factors corresponding thereto are used for
generating a filtered pixel value corresponding to the corresponding filter
window. While, in the case that it is judged as an edge area, predetermined
second weight factors are varied according to the binary edge map information
corresponding to pixels, and the filter window having the varied second
weight factors is used for generating the filtered pixel value corresponding to
respective corresponding pixels.

Abstract: A watertight body (10) having a first (1a) and a second (1b) body shell of rigid polymer material that can be joined together for accommodating a photographic camera (11) is designed such that, using a multiple-component injection moulding process, a sealing means (2) comprising elastic polymer material is moulded on an edge (2a) of at least one body shell (1a, 1b) that forms the joint, and a covering means (3) is moulded on surface areas of said body shells and is connected to the body shell by chain looping of the polymer materials. The result is that the body is reliably sealed against water and is nevertheless inexpensive and simple to manufacture. For a simple and correspondingly inexpensive recyclability of the body, the body shells (1a, 1b) can be crushed without separation of the polymer materials using known devices, with the resultant material mix being usable as an admixture for the manufacture of new camera components.
