Inventor: LACAZE PIERRE
IPC: C02F1/461
Filed: 2001-01-05
Abstract: A device has a storage tank for preparing an electrolyte, a pump delivering the electrolyte to a reactor with an anode and a cathode, and a pipe for injecting the electrolyte leaving the reactor into a water supply pipe. An outflow meter measures the flow rate in the supply pipe. A controller controls the current intensity between the anode and cathode and the injection rate of the electrolyte. An Independent claim is included for the following: (a) Continuous treatment of water using the above treatment device where the operation of injection pump is controlled in relation to the water flow rate in the pipe. Preferred Features: The controller responds to the flow rate of cold water in the supply pipe. The storage tank includes a pH controller. The reactor is a cylinder about 300 mm tall and an external diameter of 300 mm. It contains an inner cylindrical anode surrounded by rod shaped cathodes. In operation, the reactor produces free chlorine having a concentration in the water to be treated of 2 - 3.5 mg/l.

Abstract: Un dispositif 2 de régénération de l'horloge d'un bus série externe comprend un oscillateur en anneau RO1 et des moyens de comptage 11. L'oscillateur en anneau fournit n phases Φ0 à Φ9 d'un signal d'horloge, dont une phase, Φ0, est utilisée comme référence CKR1, et appliquée aux moyens de comptage. On peut ainsi mesurer le nombre Na de périodes entières d'horloge de référence CKR1 entre une première impulsion IS1 et une deuxième impulsion IS2 reçue du bus, et, en relevant l'état des phases dans l'oscillateur sur réception de la deuxième impulsion, déterminer une phase courante Φa, correspondant au retard de phase T entre la phase de référence et la deuxième impulsion du bus. En utilisant un étage de régénération comprenant un oscillateur en anneau RO2 et des moyens de compatge 21 identiques à ceux utilisés pour mesurer Na et Φa, on peut régénérer avec une grande précision, l'horloge du bus. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method for pre-stretching a stretch film (1),
the film (1) is caused to run on two means (3, 4), of
which the front means (4) as seen in the direction of
feed of the film (1) is a draw means and the rear means
(3) as seen in the direction of feed of the film (1) is
a brake means (3). A parameter, which is dependent on the
tensile force (P) generated by the two means (3, 4) in
the portion (11, 12) of the stretch film (1) that is located
between said means (3, 4), is measured, and the
measured value thus obtained is used to control the action
of the front and rear means (3, 4) on the film (1)
in such manner that said tensile force (P) is kept within
a predetermined range (I). A device for pre-stretching a
stretch film comprises, in addition to a draw means (4)
and a brake means (3) of the type mentioned above, a
measuring device (7) for measuring the above parameter as
well as control means (20) for controlling the action of
the draw means (4) and the brake means (3) on the film
(1).

IPC: C09K11/00
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: Improved devices, systems (14), and methods for sensing and/or identifying signals from within a signal detection region are well-suited for identification of spectral codes. Large numbers of independently identifiable spectral codes can be generated by quite small bodies (12a, 12b), and a plurality of such bodies or probes (12a, 12b) may be present within a detection region. Simultaneously imaging of identifiable spectra (60) from throughout the detection region allows the probes (12a, 12b) to be identified. As the identifiable spectra can be treated as being generated from a point source within a much larger detection field, a prism, diffractive grading, holographic transmissive grading, or the like (56) can spectrally disperse the images of the labels across a sensor surface. A CCD (18) can identify the relative wavelengths of signals making up the spectra. Absolute signal wavelengths may be determined by determining positions of the labels, by an interval wavelength reference within the spectra (60), or the like.

Abstract: A mobile internet protocol regional paging network (10) includes a paging foreign agent for handling a regional registration of a mobile node visiting a paging area, which includes internet protocol subnetworks. In operation, the mobile node periodically can provide an idle mode request to the paging foreign agent to enter an idle mode so as to deactivate one or more components for energy-saving purposes and reduce active communication with the mobile internet protocol regional paging network. The invention provides a small and link-layer independent extension to Mobile Internet Protocol with Regional Registrations to support power-constrained operation in the mobile nodes and to reduce routing state information in the visited domain. The extension allows a Mobile Node to enter a power saving Idle Mode during which its location is known with the coarse accuracy defined by a Paging Area. The mobile node and the visited domain may optionally agree on time slots used for Agent Advertisements and paging. The mobile node (14) may include a mobile phone, a pager, or any telecommunications device capable of wireless communicating, including communication over the internet.
