Abstract: A suspension system for magnetically suspending an object O comprises an electromagnetic coil L having an axially extending core 13 of magnetically permeable material and a permanent magnet 14 disposed on its axis. A permanent magnet 10 is also provided in the object O and is arranged such that it is in attraction with the permanent magnet 14 on the coil L, and with the magnetically permeable core 13 so that the object O is suspended at a position below the coil L by the attractive force. Sensors 15,16 on the coil L detect the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 10 in the object O, and provide signals to a control circuit, which applies current to the coil L to attract the object O when the detected field is below a predetermined limit and to repel the object when the detector field is above a predetermined limit. In this manner, the object O is held in position using a relatively low current, since the coil L is only energised when the object moves away from the position in which it is held by the field of the permanent magnets 10,14.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de générer une image perçue comme tridimensionnelle de la structure interne d'un sujet à partir d'une série d'images bidimensionelles. Ce procédé consiste à diriger un faisceau de rayons X, ou de toute autre radiation pénétrante, vers le sujet, puis à capturer l'image de la radiation ainsi produite qui passe à travers la structure interne du sujet ou est émise, réfléchie, dispersée et/ou diffractée par celle-ci, et, enfin, à visualiser plusieurs de ces images. Ce procédé est particulier en ce que (a) l'on génère les images en dirigeant les radiations pénétrantes vers le sujet depuis un certain nombre de points espacés l'un de l'autre de manière angulaire le long d'un certain trajet par rapport au sujet; (b) les images sont capturées pour quelques-uns ou pour tous les points; (c) les images sont stockées sous forme d'une séquence d'images discrètes sur un support d'enregistrement pouvant être lu par une machine et possédant une capacité suffisante pour stocker plus de deux images en même temps; (d) les images du support d'enregistrement sont présentées à un observateur, sans réinterprétation sensible des images individuelles, sous forme d'une série d'images individuelles ou de paires d'images, et de préférence par paires comme si elles constituaient des paires d'images stéréoscopiques; (e) l'observateur sélectionne la vitesse de présentation des images et/ou la direction relative dans la séquence d'images enregistrée selon lesquelles les images lui sont présentées, ceci de manière à optimiser sa perception de la profondeur tridimensionnelle. Cette invention concerne également un appareil permettant de mettre en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention.

Filed: 1996-12-10
Abstract: A system (10) for distributing synchronized clock signals to spatially distributed circuits (15) includes a pair of transmission lines (16, 18) between first (14) and second (24) sites. Deskewing circuits tap the signal transmission lines between the first and second sites. A first delay circuit (DELAY) in each deskewing circuit detects the outgoing clock signal on the first line and produceds a local clock signal (CLKL) that lags the outgoing clock signal by an adjustable delay. A similar second delay circuit in each deskewing circuit delays the local clock signal by a similar delay to produce a local reference signal. A phase lock controller (30) in each deskewing circuit adjusts the delay of the delay circuits so that the local reference signal is phase locked to the returning clock signal on the second line. When reference signals in all deskewing circuits are phase locked to the returning clock signal, their local clock signals have similar phases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and facility for processing the electric steelworks dusts and zinc-bearing, high-iron, oxidized materials in a low-frequency induction furnace of coreless type, resulting in:
     reduction of contained iron oxides to cast iron,   concentration of non-ferrous metal oxides in fumes recovered from the process, and   formation of slag suitable for being disposed of in normal dumps.   
     The cast iron bath, kept at high temperature and rapidly circulated by the induced currents which flow through it, constitutes the "reducing section" of the furnace, inside which the reduction takes place of the oxides of metal which constitute the feed: Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe. 
     The bath covering layer, occupied by the feedstock (pelletized steelworks dusts, granular coal, slagging agents) constitute the oxidizing section of the furnace inside which coal is burnt yielding CO, and and vapours of Zn and other feedstock metals leaving the bath are oxidized again and turn into fumes. 
     A proper fume collection unit collects the dusts and recovers Zn, Pb, Cd oxides concentrated to more than twice as high levels relatively to their initial concentrations at process beginning.
