Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape de décharge réparable (2) ayant un corps qui forme une surface interne cannelée (9) à facilité de réparation améliorée. Ladite surface s'adapte à un outil de démontage (31). Un ensemble soupape (6) est monté coulissant dans le boîtier de soupape et coulisse sous l'effet d'une pression excessive pour la décharge de vapeur depuis un récipient (40), du type réservoir. Le corps de soupape présente une première surface siège (22) qui s'adapte à une seconde surface siège (24) sur l'ensemble soupape lorsque l'opercule de soupape (14) est en position fermée. La soupape est équipée d'un joint (28) qui assure l'étanchéité d'une interface entre l'opercule et le boîtier, et d'un capuchon amovible (8) monté à proximité du capuchon pour le soutien mécanique du joint. On peut retirer le capuchon et remplacer le joint sans démontage important de la soupape, ce qui supprime le rétalonnage après une réparation.

Title: Magnetic resonance imaging method
Inventor: TSAO JEFFREY
IPC: G01R33/561
Filed: 2003-05-12
Abstract: In SENSitivity Encoding (SENSE), the reconstructed images are susceptible to amplified noise and/or artifacts ifthe underlying matrix inversion procedure is ill-conditioned. In this work, we propose to firstly apply the conventional SENSE algorithm to obtain an initial estimate. This initial estimate undergoes filtering to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Then, it is fed back to the reconstruction as a reference image to estimate the amount of aliasing that may arise from regularization. We derive the optimal regularized solution that minimizes the weighted sum of artifact and noise power.

Abstract: A pre-tensioner for pre-tensioning a safety belt such as a vehicle seat belt comprises a cylinder 1 associated with a housing 2 containing a pyrotechnic charge 3 to be injected into one end of the cylinder to move a piston 17 within the cylinder. A wire or cable 9 which is connected to part of the safety belt and passes around pulley wheel 8 extends into the cylinder and is connected by a connector 14 to a deformable bar or rod 15 which extends through a bore in the piston to terminate in a coil formed from at least one turn 24 of the deformable rod or bar. The connector is contained within a spacer 26 which spaces the piston from the end of the cylinder whilst permitting the connector to move axially when tension is applied to the cable thus deforming the bar (see figure 3). The pre-tensioner is intended to allow limited seat belt payout so as to limit the force applied to an occupant of the seat belt when the pre-tensioner is triggered.
