Abstract: La présente invention concerne un mélangeur statique qui comprend un groupe d'éléments déflecteurs ventilés dans un conduit à travers lequel un fluide s'écoule dans une direction généralement parallèle à un axe de ce conduit. Chaque élément déflecteur défini une surface inclinée vers l'axe du conduit de sorte que le fluide soit défléchi par cette surface dans une direction transversale de cet axe. Ces éléments déflecteurs sont positionnés de façon à générer un flux de tourbillon asymétrique de sorte que les intensités des tourbillons fixes voisins soient différentes. Ces éléments déflecteurs peuvent prendre la forme, par exemple de paires de plaquettes asymétriques, de paires de plaquettes espacées de différentes longueurs. L'angle d'inclinaison de ces plaquettes par rapport à l'axe du conduit peut être réglable.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système d'inspection de spécimens, des masques photographiques par exemple, qui permet de repérer notamment des particules indésirables ou des défauts de motif. Ce système présente les caractéristiques suivantes : absence d'obscurcissement central, pupille externe pour la détermination de l'ouverture et filtrage de Fourier, et tolérances de fabrication assez lâches. Il convient pour l'imagerie et l'inspection à la fois sur fond clair à large bande et par laser sur fond sombre à des longueurs d'onde inférieures à 365 nm. Dans de nombreux cas, les lentilles peuvent être façonnées ou fabriquées à partir d'un seul matériau. L'invention porte sur de multiples agencements des objectifs, tous comprenant au moins un petit miroir de renvoi et un miroir de Mangin. Le système fonctionne hors-axe de sorte que la seconde image en retour est décalée latéralement par rapport à la première image et que la séparation latérale permet la réception et la manipulation optique de chaque image séparément. Dans les systèmes d'objectif présentés, l'axe optique du relais d'image fait un angle de 90° par rapport à l'axe optique défini par les lentilles de focalisation, ou bien on trouve un objectif linéaire ou droit créant une déviation de 90° des rayons lumineux.

Abstract: The allocation of shareable resources of a computing environment is dynamically adjusted to balance the workload of that environment. Workload is managed across two or more partitions of a plurality of partitions of the computing environment, which are preferably configured as groups of partitions. At least one group of the computing environment includes a plurality of partitions of the computing environment. Shareable resources are assigned to the partitions of the group and are managed as a group. The managing includes dynamically adjusting allocation of a shareable resource of at least one partition of the two or more partitions in order to balance workload goals of the two or more partitions. One example of this is managing central processing unit (CPU) resources within a computing environment. When the allocation of CPU resources to a partition of the computing environment is to be adjusted, the allocation is adjusted dynamically. The adjusting includes modifying processor weights associated with the partitions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des toiles gonflables comprenant deux couches de tissu différentes et séparées, placées dans des zones distinctes de ces toiles, ainsi que des matériaux de jonction utilisés pour la fabrication de coutures et auxquels sont attachées simultanément ces couches de tissu. La toile composite gonflable ainsi fabriquée inclut donc des zones gonflables séparées, au moins partiellement, par des barrières cousues. Cette structure permet la formation de « bourrelets » à l'intérieur de la toile, sous l'effet du gonflage. Les matériaux de jonction utilisés pour les coutures à l'intérieur de la structure en deux couches forment des coutures pelables sur chaque couche de tissu. Sous l'effet du gonflage, ces coutures deviennent alors des coutures arrachables, qui augmentent sensiblement la résistance globale de la toile gonflable à deux couches. Ces coutures arrachables constituent ainsi un moyen relativement efficace de réduire la perméabilité à l'air de l'article en toile dans son ensemble. Ladite toile peut être utilisée dans des applications nombreuses et variées lorsque le gonflage de la toile est nécessaire ou souhaité. La toile résultant de cette invention peut, en particulier, entrer dans la fabrication d'un coussin d'airbag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a metallurgy of light alloys in particular to methods for ultrasonic treatment of melts in a production of shaped castings from hypereutectic silumins of a piston group. The method consists of a degasification and a following modification of the melt by introducing in it modification additives which contain phosphorus. After the modification, the ultrasonic treatment of a melt stream is being performed and accompanied by a developed cavitation in such a way that a volume of a cavitation field conforms to a total volume of the melt passing through the area of ultrasonic treatment. The ultrasonic treatment of every element of the melt stream is performed during 0.15 s to 1.2 s depending on the concentration of said modification additives which represent 0.01 to 0.06 % of the total mass of the melt. The inventive method is directed at increasing the fatigue strength of castings at high working temperatures.

Abstract: A laundry appliance comprises a drum for receiving a load of articles. The drum comprises at least two rotatable drum portions and a drive which is capable of rotating the drum so as to cause relative rotation between the drum portions. A controller monitors and controls operation of the appliance. The controller is arranged to determine when there is an overload condition on the drive during a period when the drum portions are being rotated relatively to one another and, in the event of an overload condition, causes the drive to operate in a manner that alleviates the overload condition. The drive can abort the current drum action and begin the next drum action in the sequence and, after a predetermined number of overload conditions, can suspend counter-rotating drum operation. The user may be provided with an indication when an overload condition occurs.
