Inventor: MAITLAND GEOFFREY
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Ce liquide de forage, qui possède une phase dispersante liquide non aqueuse dont la conductivité électrique n'est pas inférieure à 10 νS m-1 à 1 kHz, comporte un liquide organique polaire (POL) d'une constante diélectrique d'une valeur au moins égale à 5,0 et d'un paramètre de solubilité Hildebrand d'une valeur au moins égale à 17 (J cm-3)1/2. Il est possible d'utiliser des huiles et d'autres liquides organiques (OL) connus pour convenir en tant que phase dispersante liquide de liquides de forage en les mélangeant au composant polaire susmentionné. Certains sels inorganiques, des bases organiques, des sels d'ammonium quaternaire ou des hydroxydes (le composant dissous (DC)) font montre d'une solubilité suffisante (ainsi que de capacités suffisantes en tant que porteurs de charge) dans le POL, l'OL ou dans des mélanges de POL et d'OL liquides pour améliorer encore la conductivité électrique du mélange. On peut utiliser ce liquide de forage pour obtenir une meilleure information en provenance des appareils de diagraphie, effectuer des mesures et réaliser des opérations de diagraphie en cours de forage, ainsi que pour mener des opérations d'orientation géodésique et analogue.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for masking program selection latency in an MPEG equivalent information stream receiver, such as an ATSC or DVB television receiver (FIG. 1). An information stream receiver receives VSB or QAM modulated signals comprising an MPEG equivalent system streams including program transport streams. In a channel scanning mode of operation, a plurality of identified program transport streams (i.e., channels) are sequentially retrieved from one or more system streams (FIG. 2). In a channel changing mode of operation, if a desired channel is one of the sequentially scanned channels, then the stored I-frame is retrieved and coupled to a decoder while the desired channel is reacquired by tuning, demodulating, and demultiplexing operations (FIG. 3). In this manner, the inherent latency of the tuning, demodulating, and demultiplexing operations are somewhat masked. Moreover, by storing tuning and demodulation parameters associated with an anticipated next channel, the actual time required to retrieve that channel is reduced.

IPC: F42B23/04

Abstract: Defence weapons which are triggered automatically by a vehicle are already used for combating vehicles, especially tanks. Weapons of this type are used to defend a strip of land which generally corresponds to their range. The weapon should be aligned in such a way that the land between it and the furthest possible target or combat point is as flat as possible. However, rather than being flat, the land between the furthest possible combat point and the defence weapon usually deviates downwards by a greater or lesser degree in relation to the firing axis with this point. This results in a vertical sighting error in relation to different target distances, caused by the land. A fixed weapon with unguided projectiles does not take into account the different excessive heights of the ballistic trajectories for the different distances. The probability of a hit is therefore reduced as a result of topographical differences. The aim of the invention is to reduce this problem. According to the inventive method, the topography of the land within the range of action of the weapon in relation to the location of the launching device is determined and stored in a memory for controlling the device for adjusting the weapon. The information is then used to align the weapon with the target and set the launching angle respectively.

Abstract: This invention concerns a continuous manufacturing
process of sections (11) or plates from soft matter (2)
which is extruded under heat and encased by at least one
strip sheet (3,3), said encased matter subsequently being
calendered, shaped to the desired profile and finally cut
into lengths. The process is particularly remarkable in
that the matter used is a mixture containing a
non-synthetic binder and water, so that the mixture
becomes sticky by undergoing said heat treatment in an
aqueous medium, which assures adhesion of the casing onto
the matter during calendering, while the product
undergoes at least one drying operation after said
calendering operation. 
     The binder is advantageously starch-based and the
mixture may also contain a plasticizer, for example
containing urea. 
     The invention also concerns an installation for
implementation of the process and the products thus
obtained.

Abstract: A digital system is provided with a multi-channel DMA
controller (400) for transferring data between various resources
(401, 402). Each channel includes a source port (460-461), a
channel controller (410-412) and a destination port (460, 461).
Channel to port buses (CP0-CP2) are representative of parallel
buses that are included in the read address bus (RA). Similar
parallel buses are provided for a write address bus and a data
output bus, not shown. Port to channel buses (PC0-PC1) are
representative of parallel buses that are included in data input
bus DI. Scheduling circuitry (420, 421) includes request
allocator circuitry, interleaver circuitry and multiplexer
circuitry and selects one of the channel to port buses to be
connected to an associated port controller (460, 461) on each
clock cycle for providing an address for a transaction performed
on each clock cycle. The schedulers operate in parallel and
source/destination channel addresses are transferred in parallel
to each scheduler via the parallel channel to port buses.
Input/output data words are also transferred in parallel to/from
each port. Each port is tailored to provide an access protocol
required by its associated resource. The ports may be tailored to
provide an access protocol required by a different type of
resource. Channel and scheduling circuitry within a sub-portion
(400a) of the DMA controller can interact with various versions of
tailored ports without being modified.
