Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle tête de putter de golf ayant une cavité à l'intérieur de laquelle sont fixés solidement plusieurs moyens de support disposés horizontalement ou verticalement. Lesdits moyens d'appui comprennent un axe sélectionné pour des éléments rotatifs (balles, disques, barreaux cylindriques, roulements à billes, etc.). Ainsi, une face d'attaque d'un putter munie de pièces mobiles tournantes, filetées de manière concentrique et coaxiale autour d'un support, peut être mise en présence d'une balle de golf de façon à présenter une surface qui, lorsqu'elle est mise au contact de la balle de golf, peut imprimer à ladite balle de golf une trajectoire précise de mouvement en avant, en absorbant l'énergie cinétique du mouvement en avant grâce à un mouvement rotatif des pièces mobiles de la face d'attaque de la tête de putter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un rail revêtu de polymère. Un rail (10) à revêtir est placé à l'envers sur une base de moule (11), de sorte que la tête (12) du rail soit immédiatement adjacente à la plaque de base (11). Des pièces latérales (13, 14) du moule sont ensuite fixées sur la plaque de base (11) et disposées parallèlement au bord du rail (10). Une matière antidérapante, telle que de la grenaille (21) de bauxite ou de granite, est disposée dans le moule de manière à reposer sur la base de moule (11), puis le polymère liquide est versé à l'intérieur du moule pour remplir les vides (19, 20) et encapsuler ainsi le rail (10). Le polymère est versé à l'intérieur du moule jusqu'à ce que sa surface (22) recouvre le patin (23) du rail. Le polymère est laissé dans cet état pour qu'il sèche et se solidifie et, une fois les plaques latérales (13, 14) retirées, le rail et son revêtement de polymère peuvent être dégagés de la base de moule (11).

Abstract: On augmente le facteur de qualité (valeur Q) d'inductances spirales ou de bobines (305) dans des circuits intégrés (CI) en enlevant partiellement le substrat semi-conducteur (301) sous l'inductance (305) en formant des tranchées (303) par attaque chimique, tranchées qui sont remplies ultérieurement d'un matériau isolant. Ainsi, on réduit les pertes provoquées par le substrat (301) et on augmente en conséquence le facteur de qualité. On réduit également la capacité parasite par rapport au substrat (301), on augmente ainsi la fréquence de résonance de l'inductance (305) et on élargit la plage de fréquence de fonctionnement de celle-ci. De plus, en utilisant les métaux les plus à l'extérieur d'une structure métallique multicouche du circuit, on obtient une réduction supplémentaire des pertes et de la capacité parasite. L'utilisation de tranchées (303) sous des motifs métalliques pour la réduction des pertes et de la capacité ne se limite par à des implantations d'inductances spirales et peut s'appliquer aussi à toute ligne de métallisation, plot de connexion etc.

Abstract: A process and apparatus are described for producing drawstring packets. The packets are produced by forming thread loops (L) with tags (T) attached to their ends and placing the packet web material (W) onto the portions of a the loops further from the tags. After securing the loops in their shaped form temporarily to one face of the web, the tags and the remaining portions of thread are placed on the other face of the web to be attached there releasably. In subsequent processing the secured loop portions lie inside the packets and the tags outside. The process allows relatively precise location of the loops so that packets can be produced with the loops in a peripheral channel (P) sealed from the contents of the packets but able to move to contract the package when the ends of the loop are pulled.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for decoding a stream of data which has
been encoded into a chip stream so that a chip rate and phase of the chip stream can be
derived from the encoded data. 
     The method comprises the steps of: generating a clock signal  (clk)  having a clock
rate which is approximately equal to the chip rate or an integer multiple thereof; passing
the chip stream along a multi-stage delay line (14); for each clock cycle, sampling data
of the chip stream at a plurality of the stages of the delay line to produce a set of
oversamples ( oversamples ); for each clock cycle, producing an estimate ( edgepos ) of a
position in a respective set of the oversamples of a chip edge in the chip stream; for at
least some of the clock cycles, selecting at least one of the oversamples ( dec_chip(0),
dec_chip(1))  having a position within a confined range with respect to the estimated chip
edge position; and outputting the selected oversamples. 
     The method obviates the need for a high frequency oversampling clock or a
variable frequency clock. The delay per stage of the delay line does not need to be
stabilised if a calibration method is employed periodically between reception sessions.
