Abstract: A hydroelectric power generation system (20) generates electrical power for an electrical utilization system (72). A controller (42) obtains a requested output electrical power level from a hydro-turbine unit (70) by using a signal indicative of water head (hmeas) to control speed of an asynchrcnous rotary converter (50) coupled to the hydro-turbine unit and to control gate position of the hydro-turbine unit. The requested output electrical power level is applied from the hydro-turbine unit via the rotary converter to the electrical utilization system. In one embodiment, the controller (42B) accesses an updatable memory wherein Hydraulic Hill Chart intormation is stored. In another embodiment, the controller (42C) also includes a real-time automatic governor which uses a signal indicative of ac transmission frequency to the electrical utilization system to control the output electrical power level of the rotary converter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and evaluating the time pattern (SV) of a signal, including means for carrying out said method, during which the signal curve (SV) is recorded in particular zones in a digitalised form and is subject to a calculation, in which a mathematical function suitable for describing the causal, physical process for the signal curve is optimally approximated to the signal curve. The cross-correlation coefficient between the signal curve and the approximate function (F) is subsequently calculated and compared with a cross-correlation set value characteristic for the physical process and the mathematical function. It is assumed that the above physical process has occurred, if the value of the calculated cross-correlation coefficient exceeds the cross-correlation set value.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head, for attachment directly to a vacuum cleaner body having a central longitudinal axis, has exposed bristles with remote ends on a plane off-set by about 70 DEG  to the central axis. The bristles 14 and IS extend along opposing sides of a lower surface of the head in strips at either side of a channel 18 through which dust and debris gathered up by the bristles passes into the vacuum body. The off-set plane means that when the body is held directly or by a handle, a natural comfortable sweeping action, with the handle axis at about 20 DEG  to the vertical, keeps both strips of bristle in contact with the swept surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cigarette is provided with a filter comprising a filter element of water-disintegratable paper. The paper is water swellable and/or the filter element comprises a water swellable agent. Tipping which interattaches the filter to the tobacco rod of the cigarette is anchored by means of water susceptible adhesive. Thus when the cigarette comes into contact with sufficient water, the filter element swells and the tipping opens away from the filter. This facilitates disintegration of the water-disintegratable paper.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un codeur et un décodeur d'images qui effectuent un déplacement d'image autre que parallèle sur une échelle relativement petite et grâce auxquels le temps de traitement peut être réduit et qui réalisent une estimation avec une précision élevée. La constitution destinée au codage de compression de l'image d'entrée comprend un compensateur de mouvement qui détecte le mouvement trame à trame des blocs dans lesquels l'image d'entrée est divisée. La constitution comprend en outre un détecteur de mouvement qui inclut un comparateur de bloc déformé qui déforme uniquement les pixels en nombres entiers, c'est-à-dire les points réels d'échantillonnage présents dans une région partielle correspondant à une image de référence pour une détection de mouvement donnant des formats prédéterminés, élimine en les découpant les pixels déformés, et compare les pixels déformés du découpage aux pixels en nombres entiers des blocs de l'image d'entrée, rendant ainsi en sortie un vecteur en mouvement qui donne une erreur minimale extraite par désignation de coordonnées et un compensateur de mouvement qui inclut un module de détermination de point correspondant. Ce compensateur, qui inclut le comparateur de bloc déformé, fait la corrélation des blocs de l'image de référence en fonction des paramètres de mouvement provenant de la sortie de comparaison, désigne les coordonnées, déforme et détermine le bloc, et rend en sortie une image partielle prédite. En outre, un décodeur d'images est construit de façon à correspondre à la construction du codeur. De plus, le décodeur d'images calcule les coordonnées avec une pluralité de vecteurs de mouvement en utilisant aussi les valeurs des coordonnées des demi-pixels de l'image de référence dans un compensateur de mouvement, puis soumet les valeurs de pixels obtenues à un traitement de déformation en utilisant un motif de déformation tenant compte d'un motif déformé.
