Abstract: A method for decoding a pulsed signal coded by phase jumps, in which each bit is coded by N pulses of the coded signal and a change of the value of a bit in relation to the previous bit is coded by an inversion of the coded signal phase. The method has steps of sampling the coded signal by a pulsed strobe of the same frequency as the coded signal, with a sampling window the duration of which is less than the duration of one pulse of the coded signal. For each group of N pulses of the coded signal, the number of sampled pulses resulting from the sampling of the coded signal is counted, and then the value of the bit coded by the group of N pulses is deduced from it.

The cylindrical opening extends between the spaced ends. The wall has two edges communicating with the outer peripheral surface of the core portion to define between the two edges an entrance slot (21) to the at least one of the cylindrical openings (24). The extended tail portion is integral with and extends from the outer peripheral surface of the core portion (20). Moreover, the tail portion (22) has a surface tangential to the wall forming the at least one opening. In addition, the tail portion has sufficient length to wrap about the outer peripheral surface of the core portion to form a wrapped end seal such that the tail portion covers the entrance slot (21) of the at least one opening and a cable to be placed therein. The assembly further includes a rigid collar having first and second collar portions (90, 91) that are pivotably interconnected. The first and second portions have inner surfaces that conform to and enclose the wrapped end seal to form an inner cavity between the wrapped end seal and the first and second portions of the collar. The collar also has an outer surface adapted to sealingly abut an end of the closure. Furthermore, the assembly provides for injection of a sealant composition to fill the inner cavity and to bond together the wrapped end seal, the cable (which is placed in the opening), and the rigid collar.

Abstract: A system for measuring the weight of a seat occupant is used to control airbag deployment. The system includes a plurality of weight sensors that have a first end mounted to a seat riser and a second end mounted to a seat frame or track member. The weight sensors have a central bendable portion that extends between the first and second ends. A groove is formed in one of the external surfaces of the central bendable portion to localise strain. A full bridge strain gage assembly is mounted on a surface of each of the weight sensors, opposite from the groove, for generating a weight signal in response to measuring deflection of the central bendable portion. A central processor determines seat occupant weight based on the weight signals and an airbag control module communicates with the processor. The control module controls deployment force of the airbag based on seat occupant weight.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing electronic devices, in particular, but not exclusively, semiconductor devices, and apparatus for carrying out such a method, in which method wafers (1), which are provided at a surface (2) with a material 3 to be removed, are subjected, while being divided into successive batches, to a wet treatment in a bath (4) containing a solution (5) of an active component in a solvent. The successive batches of wafers (1) are immersed in the solution (5) at first time intervals during the wet treatment of the successive batches, which first time intervals each consist of a processing period during which the material (3) is removed from the surface (2) of the wafers (1), thereby forming ionic components, and a waiting period following the removal of the wafers 1 from the bath (4) at the end of the processing period. During the wet treatment of the successive batches the conductivity of the solution (5) is monitored, which monitored conductivity is brought to approximately a desired conductivity at second time intervals during the wet treatment of the successive batches by adding the active component or the solvent, or both, to the solution (5) inside the bath (4). In order to improve the process stability of the wet treatment of the successive batches of wafers (1) in the solution (5) of the active component in the solvent and to lengthen the lifetime of the bath (4) containing the solution (5), the desired conductivity is changed at third time intervals during the wet treatment of the successive batches with a value, which value is determined at each one of the third time intervals on the basis of the amount of the material removed during the latest completed one of the third time intervals.

Abstract: Un premier ensemble d'appareils est agencé de façon à émettre à destination d'un lieu éloigné des données provenant d'un point se situant dans un segment à tubage d'un puits de forage (1, 3). L'appareil peut servir de station relais (6) de façon à augmenter la profondeur opérationnelle. Les signaux qui s'appliquent à la station relais (6) sont reçus en provenance du train de tiges (1). Une longueur définie du train de tiges (1) est garnie de cales d'écartement isolantes (9) venant de part et d'autre de la station relais de façon à garantir que le train de tiges (1) et le tubage (3) sont effectivement isolés sur une distance minimale déterminée. Cela permet d'appliquer au train de tiges des différences de potentiel et de les y détecter, rendant possible par là même l'émission et la réception de données. Un deuxième ensemble d'appareils (figure 8) est agencé de façon à émettre depuis une unité interne (408) située dans les limites d'un segment à tubage du puits de forage (401, 403) à destination de l'environnement immédiat extérieur au tubage (403). Cette unité interne (408) a pour fonction d'injecter dans le train de tiges (401) un signal de courant. Un toroïde (415) entourant le tubage (403) recueille ce signal. Un ensemble discontinu de garnitures électro-conductrices (411) établit une liaison de place en place entre le train de tiges (401) et le tubage (403). On produit un décalage d'intensité entre le courant du train de tiges (401) et le courant du tubage (403) de façon que le toroïde voie un flux non nul, et donc qu'il soit possible de recevoir un signal.

The ultrasonic vibration may be applied to move the particles from a first suspending liquid to a second suspending liquid, or to move the particles into proximity with electrodes to apply the dielectrophoretic force, or to move the particles into the center of the liquid medium. Alternatively, the ultrasonic vibration and the electrical field may be applied simultaneously.
