Abstract: A circuit for detecting pulses in an electric input signal, which pulses are superposed on a specific reference level (U ref ), has an input terminal (1) for receiving the electric input signal, at least a first and a second comparator device (2, 3), switching means (S₁), an output terminal (8) and control signal generator means (13)˝. The control signal generator means supply a control signal to the switching means (S1) to control the position of the switching means. 
     The input terminal (1) is coupled to a first input of the comparator devices (2, 3), whose outputs (6 and 7 respectively) are coupled to a terminal ( c  and  a respectively) of the switching means (S₁). The output terminal ( b ) of the switching means is coupled to the output terminal (8). The first comparator device (2) transfers only pulses whose relative amplitude in relation to the reference level exceeds a first value (U D1 ). The second comparator device (3) transfers only pulses whose relative amplitude in relation to the reference level exceeds a second value (U D2 ). 
     When input terminal receives N1 consecutive pulses whose amplitude relative to the reference level exceeds a specific (third) value (U D3 ) the switching means (S₁) have been/are set to position  c-b  in such a manner that the first comparator (2) is coupled to the input terminal (8). When subsequently N2 consecutive pulsews are counted whose relative amplitude lies between a fourth and a fifth value (U D4  and U D5  respectively), such that U D5  < U D4  < U D3 , the switching means (S₁) have been/are set to position  a-b  in such a manner that the second comparator device (3) is coupled to the output terminal (8). N1 and N2 are integers larger than or equal to 1.

Abstract: Method for the optimisation of the characteristics of multilayer pipes made of fibre-composite materials, enabling the limiting stresses and strains which they withstand in response to applied forces to be maintained within specified limits. The method comprises the selection of at least two characteristic optimised parameters of each layer (its thickness and the winding angle of the fibres, for example) starting from an initial pipe chosen a priori. By means of small deviations applied to the parameters, the relationships between small deviations applied to the parameters and the variations of the limiting stresses and strains which result therefrom are determined and then the inverse relationships connecting the variation of the limiting stresses and strains to the parameter deviations. The understanding of these inverse relationships enables, in one or more steps, the deviations to be applied for meeting the measurable differences between the limiting stresses and strains of the optimised tube and of the tube chosen a priori to be found. Application to the production of tubular conduits for the oil industry for example. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to shorten the reading cycle of a memory whose memory points comprise floating-gate transistors (TF), use is made of a circuit (P) for pre-loading the bit lines of the memory which is independent of the actual reading detector (D). This pre-load circuit comprises a differential amplifier (3) receiving on the one hand an effective pre-loading voltage signal (PRE) from the bit line and, on the other hand, a pre-loading voltage reference signal (BLREF). So long as the effective pre-loading has not reached the assigned value, the differential amplifier delivers a control signal (PRECHBL) to a power transistor (4) which preloads the bit lines. Once the assigned pre-load value has been reached, the power transistor is blocked and the circuit of the amplifier is itself decoupled (14).

Title: Treatment of hot melt ink images.
Inventor: FULTON STEVEN J
IPC: B05D3/00
Filed: 1990-09-04
Abstract: A method for preparing a transparency involves application of hot melt ink to a transparent substrate to form a three-dimensional pattern with subsequent heating of the hot melt image above its melting point to change the configuration of the upper surface. In the embodiment described in the specification, a hot melt ink image on a substrate is treated in a continuous manner by moving it along a platen having a heating zone to melt drops of hot melt ink and cause them to spread on the substrate. The platen has a flat central portion and curved portions at each end with curvatures sufficient to prevent formation of cockle. At the output end of the heating zone, the substrate is moved continuously into a quenching zone where a cooling platen cools the substrate by thermal contact at a rapid rate to prevent crystallization or frosting of the hot melt ink image. After the quenching zone, the substrate is moved along a surface having a reverse curvature with respect to the curved portions of the heating platen to eliminate residual curvature of the substrate resulting from the curved portions of the heating platen.
