Abstract: A gas discharge lamp 4 is driven by a high frequency pulse train formed by combining a first pulse train with a second pulse train. The two pulse trains may be generated by respective inverters with input drive signals P0, P1 and output transformers T0, T1 having secondaries TP30, TP40 and TP31, TP41 connected in series with one another across the lamp 4. The circuit has a high power factor and may be used for driving a lamp at a steady power, but is particularly intended for dimming metal halide or sodium vapour lamps, or especially fluorescent lamps. A digitized dimming control signal causes the phase of drive signal P0 to be shifted relative to drive signal P1, signals P0 and P1 being in phase for 100% light output and 180 degrees out of phase for 0% light output (Fig.2), so that the outputs from transformers T0, T1 combine to drive the lamp with pulses having a width dependent on the dimming level (Fig.5). Secondaries TP10, TP20 and TP11, TP21 provide high frequency lamp filament heating currents which remain steady irrespective of the dimming level. The circuit may be used to dim a 2.44 m (8 feet) long fluorescent lamp to less than 1% of full light output.

Abstract: A method of and system for performing intravenous tomographic digital angiography imaging which combines the principles of intravenous digital angiography with those of cone-beam volume tomography for generating a direct, unambiguous and accurate 3-D reconstruction of stenosis and other irregularities and malformations from 2-D cone-beam tomography projections is disclosed in which several different data acquisition geometries, such as a circle-plus-arc data acquisition geometry, may be utilized to provide a complete set of data so that an exact 3-D reconstruction is obtained. Only a single IV contrast injection with a short breathhold by the patient is needed for use with a volume CT scanner which uses a cone-beam x-ray source and a 2-D detector for fast volume scanning in order to provide true 3-D descriptions of vascular anatomy with more than 0.5 lp/mm isotropic resolution in the x, y and z directions is utilized in which one set of cone-beam projections is acquired while rotating the x-ray tube and detector on the CT gantry and then another set of projections is acquired while tilting the gantry by a small angle. The projection data is preweighted and the partial derivatives of the preweighted projection data are calculated. Those calculated partial derivatives are rebinned to the first derivative of the Radon transform, for both the circular orbit data and the arc orbit data. The second partial derivative of the Radon transform is then calculated and then the reconstructed 3-D images are obtained by backprojecting using the inverse Radon transform.

Abstract: A fork lift truck includes a body, a drive mechanism supported on the body for effecting movement of the body, and a fork carrying assembly carrying forks which can be moved in height between a lowered position and desired raised positions. A tilt cylinder is provided for tilting the forks through a fork tilt range. The truck further includes a pressure sensor capable of generating signals indicative of the weight of a load on the forks, a fork tilt position sensor capable of being activated when the forks are tilted to extremes of the fork tilt range, and a controller. The controller is coupled to the drive mechanism, the pressure sensor and the fork tilt position sensor. It causes the drive mechanism to effect movement of the body up to a first maximum speed when at least one of the pressure sensor generates a signal indicative of a load on the forks having a weight above a predetermined value and the tilt position sensor is activated, and causes the drive mechanism to effect movement of the body up to a second maximum speed which is greater than the first maximum speed when the pressure sensor generates a signal indicative of no load or a load on the forks having a weight below the predetermined value and the tilt position sensor is inactivated. The lowering speed of the forks can also or alternatively be increased under the same operating conditions.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de fabrication d'un transistor à effet de champ, et notamment d'un transistor à effet de champ distinct, comportant une région source (1) et une région drain (2) et, entre ces régions, une région canal (4) au dessus de laquelle est située une région grille (3). On forme cette dernière en appliquant une couche isolante (5) sur le corps semi-conducteur et en formant sur cette couche isolante une partie échelonnée (6) suivant l'épaisseur, puis en appliquant une couche conductrice (30) à la surface du corps semi-conducteur (10). On retire alors sensiblement cette couche par gravure, de sorte qu'une partie (3A) de cette couche conductrice (30), qui est une partie de la région grille (3) et qui repose sur la partie échelonnée (6), reste intacte. Selon un procédé conforme à cette invention, on forme la région source (1) et la région drain (2) avant la couche isolante (5), et après formation de la partie (3A) de la région grille (3), cette partie étant composée de la couche conductrice (30), et l'on aplanit la surface du corps semi-conducteur (10) en appliquant une couche isolante supplémentaire (7) en position adjacente à la partie échelonnée (6). Ce procédé permet de fabriquer simplement une région grille (3) en forme de T comportant une très courte partie verticale (3A), par exemple en silicium polycristallin, et une partie horizontale sus-jacente plus large, par exemple en aluminium. Un tel transistor présente d'excellentes caractéristiques à hautes fréquences. Dans une réalisation préférée, on forme la partie échelonnée (6) en ménageant dans la couche isolante un évidement (8) dont les parois latérales sont situées au dessus de la région source (1) et de la région canal (4). Dans une variante particulièrement simple, on forme ultérieurement au dessus de la région source (1), une région grille 'parasite' (32) qui ne présente aucun effet indésirable. L'évidement (8) peut également servir à la formation d'un transistor avec semi-conducteur à oxyde de métal à double diffusion latérale (LDMOST) dont la région de source (1) peut être pourvue d'un prolongement (1A).

Abstract: An apparatus for purifying air comprising two electrodes having a dielectric material such as glass extending therebetween. The dielectric material is air permeable, for example, in the form of a bed of discrete particles such as glass beads. The electrodes are also air permeable, allowing the air to flow through the electrodes and dielectric. Ozone is generated by discharge at points of contact of the dielectric particles. Airflow through the device is improved, allowing greater cooling, and higher volumes of airflow but at lower concentrations of ozone production than with prior art devices, thus reducing toxicity.

Abstract: The invention concerns a two-wheel vehicle equipped with lateral stabilising wheels (18) whereof the passage from a retracted position into an active state, and inversely, is automatically carried out when a predetermined speed threshold is exceeded. Moreover, each stabilising wheel (18) is provided with a damper jack (52) whereof the rigidity decreases with speed, when the wheels are in active state. An inclination sensor (23) commands the vehicle to be upright when the stabilising wheels are in active state. Thus a gradual transition is achieved between a two-wheel type vehicle behaviour and a four-wheel type vehicle behaviour, thereby making the most of the advantages particular to the two types of vehicles, without requiring any particular training for the driver.
