Inventor: RODRIGUEZ ERNESTO M JR
IPC: G03B21/16
Filed: 1998-06-18
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un piège à lumière conçu pour un projecteur, notamment pour un projecteur intégré à un dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides. Ce piège à lumière est conçu pour être placé dans les canaux de ventilation afin d'empêcher les fuites de lumière à travers ces canaux tout en permettant le libre écoulement d'un liquide de refroidissement. Le piège à lumière est construit dans un matériau présentant une structure nid-d'abeilles, et comporte des conduits placés de préférence de manière oblique entre la source lumineuse et l'ouverture du canal. Le piège à lumière peut être recouvert d'un revêtement ou être traité pour accroître l'absorption du rayonnement visible et infrarouge. Non seulement ce piège à lumière empêche les fuites de lumière parasite par les orifices d'ouverture de ventilation du projecteur, mais il contribue en outre à réguler la charge thermique générée par la source lumineuse et offre une résistance plus faible à l'écoulement d'air que les panneaux à canaux de ventilation utilisés d'ordinaire pour couvrir l'ouverture de ventilation d'un projecteur, ce qui permet de réduire le bruit émis par le système de ventilation.

Abstract: A process for preparing calcium aluminate from aluminum dross comprising crushing (10) the dross and extracting solubles therefrom with water in a digester (14). The brine so obtained is processed in a crystallizer (32) to obtain fluxing (32 (a)) materials contained therein, and the insolubles are furnaced (22) to separate the free aluminum metal therefrom. To prevent undesirable reactions from occurring in the digester (14) which result in the production of hazardous and noxious products, the pH in the digester is controlled in the range of from about 5 to about 8, by withdrawing a magnesium chloride-containing stream (32 (b)) from the crystallizer (32 (c)) and introducing it into the digester (14).

Abstract: An electric contacting device has a contact housing in one or several parts into which a cable, in particular a multicore flat cable, can be set in an at least partially form-fitting manner, as well as one or several insulation displacement contacts which, when actuated, can displace the insulation of the cable, cutting or penetrating into the cable core and establishing a contact therewith. Also disclosed is an insulation displacement contacting process. In order to establish safe and corrosion-resistant contacts with ring circuits at any location of the ring circuit without cutting the same, a gel reservoir (24) to which pressure can be applied is provided and arranged in such a way that the cable (30) is arranged between the gel reservoir (24) and the cutting elements (11) before the latter are actuated.

Ce système comporte également un détecteur d'images (8). On a prévu un dispositif de commande (13) permettant de faire varier la distance focale d'un des composants optiques (7) à distance focale variable, par rapport à la distance focale de l'autre composant optique (6) à distance focale variable. On peut utiliser ce système pour produire une image à grossissement variable tout en maintenant une image focalisée au niveau du détecteur (8). Le dispositif de commande (13) peut comporter un élément de liaison mécanique, un circuit électronique ou un programme informatique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le système optique est un dilatateur de faisceau. Le fait de commander un miroir de focalisation peut entraîner un effet de tremblement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ordonnanceur pour système ATM (mode de transfert asynchrone) qui intervient pour de multiples types de trafic (CBR, VBR, ABR) avec dans chaque cas une pluralité de connexions de trajets virtuels (VPC) sur une liaison ATM. L'ordonnanceur gère une ou plusieurs tables d'ordonnancement qui hiérarchisent les types de trafic et assurent leur ordonnancement respectif pour chaque trajet virtuel. Pour chaque durée d'émission de cellule, un trajet virtuel est reconnu comme affecté à l'émission à l'intérieur du créneau d'émission de la cellule correspondante. Chaque connexion de trajet virtuel prise parmi une pluralité de telles connexions est associée à au moins un type de trafic hautement prioritaire, tel qu'un trafic à débit binaire constant (CBR). L'ordonnanceur détermine s'il existe une connexion de circuit virtuel (VCC) à haute priorité de service parmi les connexions associées au VPC identifié, connexion à laquelle un créneau de cellule a été affecté. Si le dispositif d'ordonnancement repère une telle connexion, l'ordonnanceur donne la possibilité d'émettre sur cette connexion. Ainsi, si la connexion VCC a un service à débit binaire constant (CBR), une cellule sera émise s'il existe effectivement une cellule prête à être émise par la connexion en question. De même, pendant le traitement pour chaque créneau d'émission de cellule, l'ordonnanceur ATM interroge une liste de liaisons qui permet d'identifier au moins une connexion VCC pour service à débit binaire disponible (ABR). La liste de liaisons identifiée est celle qui renferme la connexion de trajet virtuel désignée. L'ordonnanceur ATM transfert de préférence la liste de liaisons à laquelle il a eu accès à une liste ABR (débit binaire disponible) en rapport avec la connexion de trajet virtuel (VPC) désignée. Pendant chaque durée d'émission de cellule - au cas où le traitement relatif aux services hautement prioritaires n'a pas permis d'émettre la cellule dans le créneau imparti - l'ordonnanceur recherche dans la liste ABR une connexion VCC de type service pour laquelle une cellule est prête à être émise, à la suite de quoi la cellule correspondant à ce circuit est émise sur le réseau dans le créneau de temps correspondant.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing graphite
materials for a negative electrode used in a lithium secondary
battery which process comprises the steps of packing carbon
materials having an average particle diameter of 5 to 50 µm
in a plurality of boxes, placing the boxes in a graphitization
furnace, subjecting the graphite materials to graphitization
treatment, and thereafter subjecting the resultant graphite
materials to uniformization treatment by mixing and agitation.
The above process is capable of decreasing the influence on
the qualitative variation of graphite materials ascribed to
packing operation into boxes for graphitization, to the
position of the materials in a graphitization furnace, and to
bubbling phenomenon or the like through graphitization
treatment, and is also capable of stabilizing the qualities of
the resulting graphite materials and increasing the
productivity. In a specific embodiment, a fixed vessel-type mixer
equipped with a planetarily motional screw was used.

Abstract: A drive bay opening (24) in the front bezel portion of a tower type computer CPU unit
is provided with a swing-out plastic access door (26). The door (26) is pivotable between a closed
position and a full open stop position in which it is outwardly pivoted more than ninety
degrees away from its closed position. A specially designed concealed, break-away hinge
structure (28) removably interconnects the access door (26) and front bezel portion and includes
a pair of hinge arms (42,44) projecting outwardly from the door (26) and molded integrally therewith.
Outer end tabs (62) in the hinge arms (42,44) have apertures (68) therein that rotatably receive hinge pins (46,48)
within recessed pocket areas in the bezel (22). In the event that the access door (26) is forcibly
pivoted outwardly beyond its full open stop position, separate disconnect pins (54,56) disposed
laterally outwardly of the hinge pins (46,48) act as cams that torsionally deflect the hinge tabs (62) out
of engagement with the hinge pins (46,48). As a result, the door (26) simply pops off the bezel (22) without
damaging either the door (26), the hinge structure (28) or the bezel (22). The hinge arm tabs (62) of the
separated, undamaged access door (26) may subsequently be snapped back onto the hinge
pins (46,48) with chamfered edge portions (72) of the tabs (62) initially engaging domed portions (74) of the
hinge pins (46,48) to torsionally deflect the tabs (62) in a manner facilitating their re-connection to the
