Patent EP-1038041-A1 (EP)
Title: Systeme fibreux comportant des fibres meches impregnees d'un agent d'extraction permettant de capter en continu des metaux a partir d'un courant aqueux
Inventor: ROHRBACH RONALD
IPC: B01J20/32
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de filtration unique (10), permettant d'extraire les ions métalliques d'un courant aqueux contaminé grâce à l'utilisation de fibres mèches partiellement creuses (20), imprégnées d'un liquide (18) choisi pour sa capacité à capter les ions métalliques du courant aqueux. Ces fibres mèches (20) sont fabriquées dans un élément filtre (12) qui s'étend depuis une chambre (16) que ledit courant aqueux traverse pour se diriger vers une chambre (18) à l'intérieur de laquelle les ions métalliques indésirables sont extraits du liquide d'extraction (18). Ces fibres mèches (20) renferment par ailleurs des cavités intérieures longitudinales (22), chacune de ces cavités présentant un orifice longitudinal relativement petit (24). Les fibres mèches (20) sont remplies avec ledit liquide d'extraction (18), qui reste à l'intérieur de ces fibres grâce à une action capillaire par laquelle chaque fibre mèche (20) attire rapidement, par l'intermédiaire de ses cavités intérieures (22), le liquide choisi (18), avec lequel elle est destinée à entrer en contact. Ce liquide (18) reste à l'intérieur des cavités (22) desdites fibres mèches (20), généralement sans pénétrer l'espace séparant ces fibres (20), mais communique par l'intermédiaire des orifices longitudinaux (24) avec le courant aqueux contaminé par des métaux, ce courant s'écoulant dans ledit filtre (12) et traversant chacune desdites fibres (20).

Abstract: A digital spacecraft antenna tracking system (10) and
method are provided which utilize an array of antenna feed elements
(18) oriented relative to a shaped spacecraft reflector
antenna system (14) each of which generates an output signal
(22) corresponding to a received incident signal. The outputs
(22) can be processed by a mixer/multiplexer (M/MUX 20) before
processing by a digital tracking control receiver (TCR 24). The
direction of a beacon signal (34) incident on the spacecraft
reflector antenna system is obtained by the TCR by comparing
the beacon response of the M/MUX to a set of premeasured responses
to incident signals having a known direction or orientation
relative to a reference tracking grid. The premeasured
responses are stored in a memory (32) as a set of reference responses.
Once the direction of the signal is obtained, the TCR
assigns control voltage which are used by the spacecraft to
steer the spacecraft antenna to a desired pointing direction
relative to the beacon signal.

Abstract: There is provided a monitoring apparatus for preventing
paper breakage. For this monitoring apparatus, a light
source 9 is disposed on the upper side of a wet paper 1,
and a light emitting face thereof faces downward. An
operation-side camera 5a and a drive-side camera 5b are
disposed on the side opposite to the light source 9 with
respect to the wet paper 1, and a lens face thereof faces
upward. Light 9a of the light source 9 passes through
the wet paper 1 after being reflected from a mirror 11,
and is caught by the cameras 5a and 5b. Thus, the
cameras 5a and 5b photograph a silhouette (image) of the
light 9a of the light source 9, which has passed through
the wet paper 1. This image is sent to an image
processing unit 6, where the image is processed. The
coordinates of a boundary line such that the wet paper 1
separates from a centre roll 2 is detected from the
images photographed from two directions. This coordinate
value is sent to a computer 8. The computer 8 converts
the value into a movement amount in each sampling cycle
to determine the change amount and frequency of a point 3
at which the paper separates from a roll and the whole
shape of separation lines 3a and 3b. Thereby, a machine
problem resulting in paper breakage can be predicted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for
securing a cloth (3) of a screen device which has been unwound from a cloth
roll (1). A cloth beam (6) whose ends are guided along fixedly disposed guide
members (11) is fixed to the free end of the cloth remote from the end of the
cloth (3) which is fixed to the cloth roll (1) in a connecting point (4,5). The cloth (3)
is unwound from the cloth roll by rotating said cloth roll (1) in one
direction. Once the cloth (3) has been completely unwound from the cloth roll (1)
by rotating the cloth roll (1) in one direction, the cloth roll (1) is rotated
further in the same direction, thereby pulling the cloth beam (6) towards the
cloth roll (1) again. Latching elements (12) connected to the cloth beam (6) then engage
with further latching elements (15,16,17,18) connected to said guide members (11). The cloth
roll (1) is rotated in the opposite direction in order to release the latching
engagement between said latching elements (15,16,17,18).

Abstract: An embedded memory macro device includes a memory system and a
logic circuit constructed on a common semiconductor substrate. The
memory system and logic circuit communicate through a handshake procedure
via a system data interlock signal. During read cycles the memory system
uses the system data interlock signal to tell the logic circuit when data
at memory system data outputs is valid. In the preferred embodiment,
during write cycles the memory system uses the system data interlock
signal to tell the logic circuit when data has been successfully written.
The logic circuit needs to wait only until the system data interlock
signal permits it to proceed. It then signals the memory system to
reset the system data interlock signal and can immediately initiate a new
read or write cycle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining parameters of a

two spaced light sources provide light through the tissue or other medium to
at least two spaced detectors (18,19), with the spacing between the light sources (20,23) and
the detectors being constrained to certain dimensions. The combined data
received by such detectors can provide data that is substantially independent
of the intensity of the light sources, the sensitivity of the detectors, the
coupling efficiency of light from the light sources into the medium, and the
coupling efficiency of light from the medium to the detectors. The light from
the two sources (20,23) is of substantially identical wavelength.

IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1999-05-24
Abstract: In a satellite mobile telecommunications system based on the GSM standard, and
using a TDMA frame structure, discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode is used to
take advantage of the substantial silences which occur during normal speech. In this
mode, traffic channel (TCH) data is not sent, but control of the link between a
ground station and a user terminal is maintained by sending control channel data
bursts (SACCH) together with silence descriptor (SID) frames. To avoid high peak
to mean values of transmission power at the satellite, the emission time of the
bursts is controlled so as to be uniform over the available sending opportunities.
Conventional techniques for doing this cannot be used in a system which includes
diversity operation. Therefore, the burst transmission time at the ground station is
set in dependence on a reference provided by the user terminal which is a modified
version of the reference generated for contention resolution of random access
requests.

Abstract: A packet radio network for communicating between a first user
terminal and a second terminal which is a mobile terminal. The network is responsive to
an indication that voice service us required, to communicate over a radio link on the
uplink between a base station and a mobile terminal in data blocks of fixed length. Each
block contains a flag indicating whether the payload is speech or silence. A radio
channel is dedicated for uplink communication between the mobile terminal and a base
station as long as the flag indicates that the payload is speech. After the base station
receives a flag indicating that the payload is silence, the base station polls the mobile
station dynamically, indicating in what radio channel the mobile station should send its
next data block. This facilitates rapid allocation of a radio channel when there is speech
to send.
