Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure sensor, for example for a domestic central heating boiler, comprising a rolling diaphragm (15) that adjusts its position in dependence upon the fluid pressure admitted through a pressure port (5). The diaphragm acts against an actuator (7) which adjusts the position of a wiper (20) of a thick film potentiometer, to provide an output voltage in dependence on the admitted fluid pressure. The potentiometer may be calibrated at the factory by rotating an adjustment cap (11) of the actuator (7), which has claw-like projections in engagement with outward projections of part-helical form on a body part (8) of the actuator. There is a one-to-one axial position relationship between the actuator (7) and the wiper (20).

Abstract: An electrolytic cell for reduction of a metal oxide to a metal and oxygen has an inert anode and an upwardly angled roof covering the inert mode. The angled roof diverts oxygen bubbles into an upcomer channel, thereby agitating a molten salt bath in the upcomer channel and improving dissolution of a metal oxide in the molten salt bath. The molten salt bath has a lower velocity adjacent the inert anode in order to minimize corrosion by substances in the bath. A particularly preferred cell produces aluminum by electrolysis of alumina in a molten salt bath containing aluminum fluoride and sodium fluoride.

Abstract: The L4 application in the switch is expanded to permit functions previously performed exclusively in the L5 protocol application. Moreover, the L4 application is programmable by the system operator so that the system operator may expand the predefined set of L4 call management operations to accommodate his call processing requirements. Overall supervision of the call-management operations was previously limited to the L5 applications. However, the ability to program the L4 application enables the system operator to decide which call processing operations will be managed by the L5 applications and which operations will be managed by the L4 application. The system operator may thus define, in the L4 application, a proprietary call model that instructs the switching node to manage all incoming calls, or the system operator may specify the call model on a channel by channel basis. The latter arrangement programs the switching node to use different call-processing protocols among the various channels. In addition, the user may either re-define or define entirely new application programming interface (API) calls for communications between the host and switching node and/or between the switching node and ports.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un câble, en particulier un câble à fibres optiques, qui résiste à la perméance radiale et à la propagation longitudinale de l'eau. Ce câble est fait d'un matériau polymère soluble et gonflable dans l'eau. Il est caractérisé en particulier en ce que, lors de l'entrée de l'eau dans le câble, la propagation de celle-ci est gênée par l'effet combiné du matériau gonflable et soluble dans l'eau et de la formation d'une solution acqueuse au niveau dudit matériau, dont la viscosité prédéterminée permet de faire obstacle au passage de l'eau résiduelle. De préférence, le matériau soluble dans l'eau est un polyacrylamide, poly(alcool) de vinyle modifié, copolymère d'alcool vinylique/d'acétate de vinyle, polyvinylpyrrolidone ou un mélange de ces derniers, le copolymère d'alcool vinylique/d'acétate de vinyle étant le matériau idéal. Pour un meilleur résultat, on peut extruder le matériau afin d'obtenir des éléments tubulaires destinés à contenir les fibres optiques, par exemple, des éléments tubulaires composés de deux couches, la couche interne étant faite d'un matériau soluble dans l'eau et la couche externe d'un polymère classique tel que PE, PP ou PBT.
