Abstract: The invention relates to a steam generator (1, 1', 1"), in which a continuous heating surface (8, 10, 12) is located in a fuel gas channel (6) that can be traversed in an approximately horizontal fuel gas direction (x). Said continuous heating surface comprises a number of steam generator pipes (22, 50, 60) that are connected in parallel (W) for the passage of a flow medium and is designed in such a way that a steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60), which is heated to a greater extent than another steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60) of the same continuous heating surface (8, 10, 12), has a higher throughput of the flow medium (W) than the other steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60). The aim of the invention is to produce a low-cost steam generator with a particularly high level of mechanical stability, even when subjected to different thermal stresses. To achieve this, the or each steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60) has a respective downpipe section (34, 52, 62, 64), which is approximately vertical and through which the flow medium (W) can flow downwards and a respective riser pipe section (36, 54, 66, 68) connected downstream of the downpipe on the flow medium side, which is approximately vertical and through which the flow medium (W) can flow upwards.

Abstract: L'utilisation de triéthylènglycol-di-2-éthylhexanoate, désigné par les sigles 3G8 ou 3GEH, en tant que plastifiant de faible polarité pour des feuilles de polyvinylbutyral (feuilles de PVB) se limite jusqu'à présent à des types de PVB présentant une teneur en alcool polyvinylique (PVOH) inférieure à 19,5 % en poids. Selon la présente invention, un ou plusieurs agents tensioactifs non ioniques sont utilisés en tant qu'additif augmentant la solubilité et la compatibilité du plastifiant de faible polarité dans la résine PVB. Ainsi, des plastifiants de faible polarité, tels que 3G8, peuvent également être utilisés notamment dans des mélanges à base de PVB standard. L'agent tensioactif non ionique utilisé est un alcool aliphatique ou aromatique plusieurs fois éthoxylés, contenant au moins 6 atomes de carbone dans la proportion d'alcool et présentant un degré d'éthoxylation moyen supérieur ou égal à 2. Cette invention convient à des préparations de PVB renfermant un plastifiant, notamment à base de PVB standard, destinées à la production de feuilles pour verre de sécurité feuilleté.

IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2002-11-06
Abstract: A dispatcher for a non-uniform memory access computer system dispatches threads from a common ready queue (305) not associated with any CPU (201-204), but favors the dispatching of a thread to a CPU having a shorter memory access time. Preferably, the system comprises multiple discrete nodes (101-104), each having a local memory (205) and one or more CPUs. System main memory is a distributed memory comprising the union of the local memories. A respective preferred CPU and preferred node may be associated with each thread. When a CPU becomes available, the dispatcher gives at least some relative priority (714-717; 801-804) to a thread having a preferred CPU in the same nodes as the available CPU over a thread having a preferred CPU in a different node. This preference is relative, and does not prevent the dispatch from overriding the preference to avoid starvation or other problems.

Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation de thérapies d'entraînement électrosytolique auriculaire aux fins de traitement d'une tachycardie auriculaire (AT). Quand un épisode de AT est détecté, un dispositif médical implantable applique une thérapie ATP (entraînement électrosystolique anti-tachycardie). Si l'épisode de AT persiste, la thérapie ATP peut être automatiquement appliquée à nouveau, plus tard pendant le même épisode de AT. Plus précisément, des thérapies ATP appliquées auparavant sont appliquées à nouveau quand des conditions épisodiques, telles que la longueur ou régularité de cycle, changent. Même si une thérapie ATP particulière visant à faire cesser la AT peut être vaine dans un premier temps, elle peut s'avérer efficace quand la longueur ou régularité de cycle du rythme auriculaire change. Quand le rythme diminue, la AT peut mieux répondre à des thérapies ATP s'étant avérées vaines dans un premier temps. Par conséquent, des thérapies ATP potentiellement efficaces peuvent être appliquées à nouveau, aux fins d'achèvement d'épisodes de AT et réduisent le nombre d'épisodes nécessitant une coupure plus agressive mettant en oeuvre de chocs auriculaires douloureux.
