Abstract: A silicon carbide-based thermal spray powder contains at least one boride chosen
from zirconium boride, titanium boride and hafnium boride. The powder is
prepared by mixing and aggregation of powders containing the compounds in
question. Said thermal spray powder is used to deposit, via the plasma spraying
technique, a silicon carbide-based coating on a metallic or non-metallic substrate.
The figure shows the X-ray crystallogram obtained, for a silicon carbide-based
powder, according to the invention, after thermal spraying. The substantial identity
of this crystallogram with the one obtained prior to thermal spraying demonstrates
that the silicon carbide has been deposited on the substrate without decomposing.

Abstract: Um Toner zu einer Toneranlagerungseinheit, z.B. einer Fotoleitertrommel, zu transportieren, wird eine walzenförmige Transportvorrichtung (15), z. B. Eine Magnetwalze, eingesetzt. An der Hülle der Walze lagert sich beim Betrieb eine unerwünschte Schicht von Toner an, die den Übergang von Toner zur/von der Toneranlagerungseinheit behindert. Eine Ursache dafür liegt in der adhäsiven Eigenschaft der Walzenhülle. Um diese Tonerschicht leichter von der Walzenhülle (22) entfernen zu können, wird die Walzenhülle (22) derart ausgeführt, dass sie niedrige Oberflächenenergie aufweist. Dazu kann ein Material aus PFA oder PTFE auf der Walzenhülle aufgebracht sein. Die Vorrichtung kann auch als Reinigungswalze für einen Zwischenträger oder eine Applikatorwalze eingesetzt werden.

La partie d'extrémité comprend également un profil de rebord qui s'aligne verticalement avec la pochette de réception (2) du connecteur opposé. La pochette de réception (22) comporte une paroi élastique semblable à un ressort qui empêche la force de l'assemblage de gêner les lances de verrouillage de projection même lorsque les connecteurs sont pratiquement en dehors de la tolérance dimensionnelle. La paroi de la pochette semblable à un ressort, la forme de la lance de verrouillage, et les billes de renforcement contribuent à l'amélioration d'un clic audible signalant qu'une connexion a été établie. La lance de verrouillage fonctionne avec une rainure de dégagement afin d'augmenter l'auto-alignement des connecteurs.

Title: Multiphase clock recovery
Inventor: FREDRIKSSON JESPER
IPC: H04L7/033
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: The invention represents a parallel and distributed approach to clock recovery based on multiple mutually phase shifted sample clock signals (åS) defining a set of orthogonal clock phases. The phase shifted clock signals are used for obtaining an input data sample representation (åU). Input data transition detection is accomplished by determining, for each one of the above clock phases, whether input data samples within a detection window associated with the respective clock phase include an input data transition vector (I). A corresponding clock selection control signal vector (I) is generated based on the input data transition vector (I) to determine a clock selection master. In order to dynamically extract an output clock signal, to control signal vector (I) is then logically combined with a representation (åS'), preferably a rotated version, of the sample clock vector (åS).
