Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de configuration pour l'attribution de contrôle de connexion en tandem, consistant : à configurer le champ et la zone du champ nécessitant un contrôle au moyen du contrôle de connexion en tandem (TCM); à déterminer le service ODU d'unité de données optiques nécessitant un contrôle au moyen du TCM; à attribuer le TCM automatiquement en fonction du trajet de service ODU et du champ configuré; à activer ou désactiver le TCM de chaque niveau. La présente invention permet d'attribuer automatiquement le TCM et de le mettre en œuvre automatiquement une fois que le paramètre nécessaire a été établi, sans intervention de l'utilisateur. L'attribution de contrôle de connexion en tandem peut être réalisée de manière simple et le traitement peut être centralisé ou séparé dans chaque nœud. L'invention permet de s'assurer que les attributions de TCM dans les deux sens correspondent les unes aux autres. Le procédé selon l'invention peut être appliqué à un réseau comprenant plus de six opérateurs. Considérant l'ordre d'attribution comme l'ordre de traitement, ce procédé permet que l'insertion d'AIS et de BDI soit effectuée correctement et garantit qu'il s'agit du seul résultat.

Abstract: A method is proposed for operating a metering valve which is realized as a solenoid valve which is actuated by an electromagnet that interacts with an armature which is connected fixedly to a valve needle and, furthermore, is loaded with a pulse-width modulated metering signal which defines the metering of a reagent which is to be introduced into the exhaust-gas region of an internal combustion engine or of a preliminary stage of a reagent, as is an apparatus for carrying out the method. The opening duration of the metering valve is limited to a minimum opening duration, for which the metering valve is opened completely and which is fixed in such a way that a spray mist is always produced during the metering. The procedure according to this invention prevents the reagent from crystallizing and, as a result, firstly ensures exact metering of the reagent and secondly counteracts clogging of the metering valve, in particular if a urea/water solution is provided as preliminary stage of the reagent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clutch release bearing device, which comprises a rolling bearing and overall serves the transmission of an axial force to a coupling member, for example to a clutch spring plate, and the displacement of said coupling member. The object of the invention is to find solutions that make it possible to implement clutch release bearing devices that can be produced in a cost-effective manner and that distinguish themselves, compared to previous designs, by further improved functionalities. Said task is solved according to the invention by a clutch release bearing device comprising an inner ring, an outer ring, a rolling bearing arrangement, which is received in a track region defined between the inner ring and the outer ring, a thrust ring section in order to introduce an axial force conducted over the rolling bearing arrangement into an associated coupling member, and a sealing device for sealing a displacement gap on a bearing back facing away from the thrust ring section. The sealing device comprises a sealing lip structure made of a plastic material with a sealing lip. The clutch release bearing device is characterized in that an annular element is provided, which forms a sealing lip running surface on which the sealing lip is located.

Abstract: Method of assembling a vacuum insulated piping run for conducting a cryogenic fluid in which piping sections are produced in a first location and then assembled in a second location into a piping run. Each of the piping sections incorporates an outer cylindrical casing and an inner pipe for transport of the cryogenic fluid to form an inner annular region for containing insulation that can be radiation shield insulation and aerogel blankets. The piping sections are joined by welding the ends of the inner pipes together and then joining the outer cylindrical casing by a shell-like section. Points of connections are tested by vacuum testing techniques as each of the connections is made. Thereafter, the annular region is purged with a condensable gas such as carbon dioxide and subjected to a subatmospheric pressure.

Abstract: A system for enumeration of cells in fluids by image cytometry is described for assessment of target populations such as leukocyte subsets in different bodily fluids or bacterial contamination in environmental samples, food products and bodily fluids. Briefly, fluorescently labeled target cells are linked to magnetic particles or beads. In one embodiment, a small, permanent magnet is inserted directly into the chamber containing the labeled cells. The magnets are coated with PDMS silicone rubber to provide a smooth and even surface which allows imaging on a single focal plane. The magnet is removed from the sample and illuminated with fluorescent light emitted by the target cells captured by a CCD camera. In another embodiment, a floater having a permanent magnet allows the target cells to line up along a single imaging plane within the sample solution. Image analysis can be performed with a novel algorithm to provide a count of the cells on the surface, reflecting the target cell concentration of the original sample.

Abstract: Two or more very small encapsulated electronic circuit cards to which data are read and written are removably inserted into two or more sockets of a host system that is wired to the sockets. According to one aspect of the disclosure, command and response signals are normally communicated between the host and the cards by a single circuit commonly connected between the host and all of the sockets but during initialization of the system a unique relative card address is confirmed to have been written into each card inserted into the sockets by connecting the command and status circuit to each socket one at a time in sequence. This is a fast and relatively simple way of setting card addresses upon initialization of such a system. According to a second aspect of the disclosure, the host adapts to transferring data between it and different cards of the system over at least two different number of the data lines commonly connected between the host and all of one or more sockets, each card permanently storing a host readable indication of the number of parallel data lines the card is capable of using. This allows increasing the rate of data transfer when the need justifies an increased card circuit complexity. According to a third aspect of the disclosure, a serial stream of data is sent over a number of data lines from one to many by alternately connecting bits of the stream to a particular number of individual lines
