Inventor: GORRETTA NATHALIE
IPC: G01N21/94
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for
harvesting crop material, involving the determination of
the proportion of a product in a mixture of products
containing crop material and bodies foreign to the crop,
comprising: the capture of at least one initial image of a
surface of the mixture to be examined; the assignment to
each image pixel of one of two extreme grey levels
according to the initial grey level of the pixel relative
to a set threshold; and the recording the number of pixels
of at least one extreme grey level to determine a area
ratio between areas occupied by fruit and foreign bodies in
the image. The invention has particular application to the
harvesting of fruit, berries and the like produced on trees
or bushes grown in rows to use the calculated proportion to
adapt at least one of the functioning parameters of the
machine.

Abstract: The method involves using a receiver (25) with a clock (29) to determine the period of blocking and unblocking sequences of an oscillator-detector (27) to make it sensitive to the signal at a nominal reception frequency. Radio waves are transmitted by nearby equipment (28) at this frequency which is subject to spaced out time periods of operation or of maximum radiation so the sensitive phase and operating or radiating phase do not coincide. The transmitted radiation may be detected and the relative phase shifted by a preset amount. A characteristic of the received signal and the equipment signal may be compared and a given shift value provided where the characteristics are different.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un terminal cellulaire ou sans fil (1) et un procédé permettant à l'utilisateur d'effectuer des transactions à distance de paiement d'achats et de factures et de transférer de la monnaie électronique ou d'autres données nécessaires à d'autres terminaux (2) ou à des ordinateurs centraux à distance (4) sans utiliser de modem. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce terminal comprend des moyens de réception et d'émission de factures et de monnaie électronique directement vers et depuis d'autres terminaux selon un mode sans fil sans utiliser le réseau (3). Le procédé consiste à envoyer ou à diffuser vers le terminal du bénéficiaire (par exemple, un téléphone mobile) des détails concernant ce bénéficiaire, tels que son numéro de compte ou des codes de contact. Le payeur active les détails du bénéficiaire, ce qui autorise l'envoi soit du montant de la facture, soit de la quantité nécessaire de monnaie électronique au terminal ou à l'ordinateur central du bénéficiaire. Le terminal faisant l'objet de l'invention peut fonctionner à la fois comme portefeuille électronique cellulaire ou sans fil de l'utilisateur et comme son téléphone cellulaire ou sans fil, ce qui constitue un ensemble portefeuille-téléphone mobile (MWP). Cet ensemble (MWP) permet à l'utilisateur de recevoir des messages de paiement et de la monnaie électronique directement depuis d'autres terminaux, ainsi que d'en envoyer à d'autres terminaux, avec une couverture radio limitée de terminal à terminal (1, 2) ou par l'intermédiaire du réseau (3). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ce procédé est basé sur un numéro d'identification personnelle de paiement (P-PIN) servant à authentifier l'utilisateur et qu'on utilise, si nécessaire (en plus du code PIN qu'on utilise pour des services de téléphone mobile), de manière à vérifier que l'utilisateur a le droit d'utiliser son terminal en tant que portefeuille électronique, afin d'effectuer des paiements par monnaie électronique ou virement. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une demande de renseignements concernant la facture est envoyée depuis d'autres terminaux ou par l'ordinateur central au terminal de l'utilisateur sur la demande de ce dernier ou bien de façon automatique ou continue si le service fourni le nécessite. Dans ce cas, le terminal utilisateur peut également être un ordinateur personnel ou un téléviseur connectés à Internet ou fonctionnant sans fil.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un épurateur sous pression (10) conçu pour classer les éléments d'une suspension de pâte à papier, qui utilise un organe cylindrique à épurateurs (20) comportant soit un épurateur unique soit une pluralité d'épurateurs axialement alignés et dans lesquels les régions de classage de la pâte sont agencées en zones annulaires (22a, 22b, 22c), des régions de rejet (24a, 24b) étant définies entre les zones de classage. Les régions intermédiaires de rejet diminuent la distance que doivent parcourir les contaminants à la surface de l'orifice d'entrée de l'épurateur et réduisent la possibilité de formation d'une concentration des rejets à la surface de l'épurateur, ce qui optimise les résultats obtenus avec un tel épurateur.

the tip of a center electrode (2) made of a material such as
nickel by laser beam welding. The noble metal chip (1)
contains another noble metal such as rhodium having a melting
point lower than that of the noble metal chip. By laser
welding, a molten bond (11) containing the noble metal melted
thereinto from the noble metal chip (1) is formed at the
junction of the noble metal chip (1) and the center electrode
(2). Alternatively, the noble metal to be melted into the
molten bond (11) may be supplied by a separate noble metal
plate. The molten bond thus made has a high bonding strength
