Patent EP-0880262-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOUGHTON THOMAS FRANCIS
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: A technique for programming operating parameters in an electronic
device (5), such as programmable configuration settings, uses an interactive response
configuration server (10) accessible through the telephone network (15). The
configuration server (10) provides voice prompts to an electronic device operator (20)
over a telephone connection. The voice prompts concern a desired manner of operation
achievable with particular operating parameter settings. Desired operating parameter
settings are determined based on the operator's responses. A programming signal
including representations of the desired operating parameter settings is then generated
and transmitted to the electronic device (5). The electronic device then sets the values
of its programmable operating parameters in accordance with the received programming
signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble (6) de palier lisse auto-aligné indiqué pour un arbre à cames (1) de frein d'un véhicule comportant un carter et une bague de palier (13) avec des surfaces sphériques présentant des parties coopératives. Une desdites surfaces de la bague présente un évidement (14) axial dans lequel est introduite une saillie du carter, ce qui permet à la bague de basculer par rapport au carter tout en l'empêchant de pivoter autour du carter. Des éléments (9, 11) de demi carter du carter reçoivent des anneaux d'étanchéité (12) en dehors de la bague (13). Un desdits éléments comporte un trou (15) de passage dans lequel un raccord de graissage (16) est reçu et bouché afin de contenir l'huile qui doit ensuite lubrifier les surfaces de palier du carter et de la bague. Entre l'ensemble de palier et l'arbre (6) à cames, un ou des soufflets d'étanchéité (5, 7), placés dans la bague, peuvent être ajustés à l'une ou à chaque extrémité opposée du carter afin d'empêcher que des matières étrangères accèdent aux surfaces de palier. Cet agencement prolonge la durée de vie de l'ensemble de palier et améliore l'efficacité de sa lubrification.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un élément d'interconnexion assurant la permutation de longueurs d'onde et conçu pour un système de communication optique à multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde (WDM wavelength division multiplexing) comportant à la fois des chemins optiques transparents et des chemins opaques à travers un réseau de commutation électronique, tel qu'un commutateur d'interconnexion numérique à grande vitesse (DCS) et mettant en oeuvre des conversions opto-électroniques du signal de donnée. La commutation tout-optique est mise en oeuvre du côté entrée et du côté sortie, par exemple au moyen de commutateurs à fibres actionnés mécaniquement. Le commutateur DCS, qui reçoit des entrées optiques en provenance des commutateurs optiques d'entrée et qui délivre des sorties optiques aux commutateurs optiques de sortie, met en oeuvre la commutation dans le domaine électrique et peut effectuer la conversion de longueurs d'onde des signaux le traversant. Ce commutateur DCS rend également possible l'accès à des lignes électriques d'insertion-extraction assurant l'interface avec un client. Le chemin optique transparent, qui peut être soit direct, soit passer par un commutateur optique, achemine un signal, quelque soit son format, de l'entrée vers la sortie du système de commutation. Un algorithme permet de définir les connexions requises à travers les différents composants.

Abstract: L'invention est destinée à un appareil de retenue des occupants d'un véhicule et concerne un dispositif de gonflage intelligent (14) de coussin muni d'un piston (30) qui sert à pomper par récupération un agent propulseur depuis un réservoir (49) dans une chambre de combustion (48) dans laquelle se produit l'allumage et la combustion générant les gaz de gonflage du coussin. Afin de commander le degré de gonflage du coussin, le piston est pourvu d'une tête (32) qui rentre coulissante dans une chambre d'amortissement (46) remplie d'un fluide magnéto-rhéologique (83), qui est pompé à travers un orifice (92) durant la course de pompage de récupération du piston. On excite de manière sélective un électro-aimant (86) pour produire un champ magnétique variable afin de régler la viscosité du fluide magnéto-rhéologique s'écoulant à travers l'orifice et ainsi de faire varier la force d'amortissement exercée sur la course du piston, ce qui modifie le taux de combustion de l'agent propulseur. On commande l'excitation de l'électro-aimant par le courant en réaction à un type particulier d'accident.
