Granted: 2010-09-21
Abstract: A recirculating optical delay line (30) has a laser (32) controlled by wavelength control (33) so as to vary the wavelength of radiation over time to provide a first input (34) to an optical modulator (35). The modulator (35) modulates the intensity of the first input (34) with a pulsed electromagnetic frequency signal (36) to produce a pulsed modulated optical signal (39). The signal (39) passes through an optical coupler (40) into a delay loop (41) having a delay fibre (44) arranged to delay the signal (39) for a predetermined duration. The wavelength control (33) is arranged to vary the first input (35) so as to ensure that overlapping pulses of the signal (39) in the delay loop (41) are at different wavelengths, thereby inhibiting optical mixing effects between the overlapping pulses.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour déterminer, surveiller et actualiser des données de correction, afin de corriger des falsifications de valeurs de mesures et d'étalonner des systèmes de transmission remplis de liquide, au moyen desquels des signaux saisis dans le corps d'un patient sont transmis à un récepteur de valeurs de mesures externe, notamment pour des mesures de pression effectuées de manière invasive en cardiologie, en soins intensifs et en anesthésie. Les données de correction sont déterminées, pour chaque fréquence d'une zone de fréquence, à partir d'une statistique des signaux du patient mesurés dans ladite fréquence, et en particulier sur la base de la fonction de transmission obtenue à partir des signaux du patient. Pour déterminer ces données de correction, on utilise des hypothèses vérifiées de façon empirique concernant la statistique correspondante relative aux signaux de patient non falsifiés et aux caractéristiques générales de la fonction de transmission.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé d'utilisation d'un gazéificateur de taille réduite à fort débit. On sait que les réactions de combustion exothermique peuvent être séparées des réactions de gazéification endothermique. Les réaction de combustion exothermique peuvent se dérouler à l'intérieur ou à proximité de la chambre de combustion (118) alors que les réactions de gazéification endothermique ont lieu dans le gazéificateur (102). La chaleur dégagée dans la zone exothermique est transférée à la zone de réaction endothermique par circulation d'un solide particulaire inerte tel que du sable. Pour réduire les pertes thermiques du gazéificateur et donc augmenter l'efficacité, on dispose le gazéificateur (102) concentriquement dans la zone de réaction endothermique de la chambre de combustion (118).

Abstract: Assembly and method for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a biological matrix. The assembly includes an implantable optical-sensing element that comprises a body, and a membrane mounted on the body in a manner such that the membrane and the body define a cavity. The membrane is permeable to the analyte, but is impermeable to background species in the biological matrix. A refractive element is positioned in the cavity. A light source transmits light of a first intensity onto the refractive element, and a light detector receives light of a second intensity that is reflected from the cavity. A controller device optically coupled to the detector compares the first and second light intensities, and relates the intensities to analyte concentration.

Abstract: The directional element, following enablement under selected input current conditions, calculates a zero sequence impedance, in response to values of zero sequence voltage and zero sequence current. The current value is selected between two possible values, one being the value from an associated current transformer, the other being the sum of the currents IA+IB+IC. The calculated zero sequence impedance is then compared against sensitive selected threshold values, established particularly for ungrounded systems. A forward fault indication is provided when the calculated zero sequence impedance is above a first established sensitive threshold value, and a reverse fault indication is provided when the calculated zero sequence impedance is below a second established sensitive threshold value.
