Abstract: The present invention includes a system and a method for automatically
authoring video compositions from longer units of digitized video (or a source
video) by using short segments of video (or video "cliplets"). The video
composition authoring process provides an aesthetically-pleasing layout of data
elements to create a video composition. The data elements include multimedia
elements, parameter information and description information. Any data elements
that are missing but required are automatically selected by the system. The user
may then review preliminary video composition results and refine the results if
desired. The video composition authoring system includes an element selection
and layout module for selecting the data elements in the video composition, and
an iterative refinement module that allows the user to change and refine the
preliminary results.

used as DC power sources; AC power from the commercial AC power source
(Utility) is supplied to the load (Lac/dc) until the storage battery (B) is fully charged by
the DC power sources; DC power from the storage battery (B) is supplied to the load
(Lac/dc) when the storage battery (B) has been fully charged; and the AC power from
the commercial AC power source (Utility) is supplied to the load (Lac/dc) as the
storage battery (B) approaches the terminal period of discharging. Thus, there can
be provided the novel co-generated power supply system, in which the electric
power of the natural energy system having many fluctuation factors is combined
with the stable electric power such as the midnight electric power or the fuel cell,
so that the stable electric power is supplied to the load via the electronic

Abstract: L'invention a trait à une composition de brasure et à un procédé de formation associé. La composition de brasure comprend un alliage sensiblement sans plomb contenant de l'étain (Sn), de l'argent (Ag) et du cuivre. La concentration d'étain dans l'alliage, en pourcentage en poids, s'élève à au moins 90 % environ. La concentration d'argent dans l'alliage, en pourcentage en poids, est de X. X est suffisamment petit pour que soit sensiblement éliminée la formation de plaques de Ag3Sn lorsque l'alliage à l'état liquéfié est solidifié par un refroidissement à une température inférieure, à laquelle s'effectue la germination de la phase Sn solide. Cette température inférieure correspond à une surfusion δT liée la température de fusion eutectique de l'alliage. Dans une autre variante, X peut représenter environ 4 % ou moins, l'alliage liquéfié étant refroidi à une vitesse de refroidissement suffisamment élevée pour que soit sensiblement éliminée la formation de plaques de Ag3Sn dans l'alliage. Le cuivre a un pourcentage en poids, dans l'alliage, ne dépassant pas 1,5 % environ.

Title: Convertisseur a commutation souple mettant en oeuvre une correction de courant
Inventor: JITARU IONEL DAN
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne une topologie de convertisseur qui élimine des pertes de recouvrement inverse dans ses dispositifs à semi-conducteurs de rectification de sortie, mettant en oeuvre une source de tension d'injection CA montée en série avec une bobine primaire de transformateur d'alimentation. Des commutateurs à semi-conducteurs d'entrée situés dans le circuit primaire du convertisseur sont commandés afin de fournir dans un transformateur d'alimentation secondaire une tension appliquée sur la ou les bobines dans une première direction vers l'avant, qui sollicite un des dispositifs de rectification de sortie, suivie d'une tension de sollicitation inverse de niveau inférieur produite par la tension d'injection. Cette tension de niveau inférieur appliquée sur le transformateur d'alimentation secondaire met en position d'arrêt le dispositif de rectification précédemment conducteur et entraîne des signaux hors d'une ou de plusieurs de ses jonctions à semi-conducteurs afin d'éliminer des pertes de recouvrement inverse se produisant lorsque le transformateur d'alimentation secondaire applique une polarisation inverse de niveau supérieur sur le dispositif de rectification non conducteur. Ladite source de tension d'injection peut être un transformateur ajouté au transformateur d'alimentation présentant une bobine primaire montée en série avec la bobine primaire du transformateur d'alimentation secondaire et une bobine secondaire connectée à la terre au moyen d'un condensateur. Outre la prévention contre les pertes de recouvrement inverse dans les dispositifs de rectification situés dans le transformateur d'alimentation secondaire, le transformateur de tension d'injection injecte également un courant de forme d'ondes triangulaire CA dans le courant situé dans le circuit d'entrée primaire du convertisseur à la jonction des commutateurs à semi-conducteurs où ils sont connectés dans un circuit en pont fournissant le transformateur d'alimentation primaire. Ainsi, la source de tension d'injection assure une commutation de tension nulle des commutateurs à semi-conducteur même avec des charges légères.
