Patent EP-0907848-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BLOMGREN RALF
IPC: F28G9/00
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une vanne permettant de modifier le sens de circulation d'un fluide dans des conduits d'amenée et de départ du fluide d'un échangeur thermique. En effet, les échangeurs thermiques utilisés dans des systèmes où l'eau de refroidissement est prélevée dans des courants naturels, l'eau de rivière, l'eau de mer, etc., connaissent souvent des problèmes d'encrassement. Pour conserver un échangeur propre, le procédé utilisé consiste généralement à y inverser la circulation, c'est-à-dire à renverser le sens d'écoulement, par exemple un petit nombre de fois chaque jour, de façon à éliminer par rinçage les particules et le limon qui se sont accumulés dans la région d'admission de l'échangeur thermique. La vanne de l'invention est constituée d'un carter cylindrique renfermant un corps de vanne (18). Les conduits d'amenée et de départ de l'échangeur thermique sont raccordés respectivement à deux tubes de raccordement diamétralement opposés du plateau d'extrémité du carter de sorte que, par rotation sensiblement à 90° du corps de vanne, celui-ci se place dans deux positions différentes faisant que le fluide considéré est conduit, soit par un premier jeu de passages (19, 20), soit par un second jeu de passages (21, 22).

Title: Recepteur gps a acquisition efficace du signal
Inventor: TIEMANN JEROME JOHNSON
IPC: G06F17/15
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: Un récepteur à spectre étalé à séquence directe échantillonne un signal d'arrivée et transforme ce signal en signal FI, ce dernier est échantillonné puis stocké en mémoire (192, 194). Dans une forme de réalisation la mémoire est constituée de deux banques de stockage qui reçoivent alternativement des segments d'échantillons. Pendant une période d'écriture dans une des banques de stockage, l'autre banque de stockage envie sa sortie à un processeur (70). Cette procédure se poursuit suivant un mode 'ping-pong'. Dans une autre forme de réalisation une bande stockage unique est remplie et lue en fonction des besoins, le récepteur ne tenant pas compte du signal d'arrivée jusqu'à la fin du traitement par le processeur de l'échantillon disponible à la sorte de la mémoire. Un récepteur de ce type est utile dans le traitement des signaux de satellites du système de positionnement global (GPS) dans lequel le signal d'arrivée contient plusieurs transmissions satellite codées au moyen d'un codage AMCR.
Patent EP-0915739-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BINDER JUERGEN
IPC: B05B3/04
Filed: 1997-08-07
Abstract: A rotary nozzle for a high-pressure cleaning apparatus has a housing into which a feed line for a cleaning fluid issues, an outlet provided in the housing for expelling the cleaning fluid, a nozzle body through which the cleaning fluid flows, and a bearing that surrounds the outlet. The nozzle body is disposed in the housing, and is supported at its convex end in the bearing. The bearing is formed directly in an inner wall of the housing as a conically-shaped depression to avoid the need for a separate bearing insert, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. Additionally, the conical shape of the bearing cooperates with the convex shape of the nozzle body to provide optimal sealing with a reduced contact surface for a long service life. The bearing is disposed concentrically relatively to the outlet. The nozzle body is set by the flow of cleaning fluid through the housing in a revolving movement in which a longitudinal axis of the nozzle body revolves on a generated cone.

Inventor: DEMOULIN GUNNAR DIPL-ING
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 1998-06-24
Abstract: In a process and assembly to eliminate phosphorous from water effluent, the water is treated in an activated sludge process and a stage which extracts water (especially containing carbonic acid). In a pre-treatment process, separated primary sludge is fermented to a pH 4.0-8.0 and/or a redox potential in the range (-100)-(-400) mV, with reference to a silver chloride electrode. The fermented primary sludge is rich in carbonic acid, which after washing out and separating the fermented primary sludge, is extracted in the form of carbonic acid-enriched washing water. This product can then be transferred to the anaerobic stage of an activated sludge treatment basin in which it serves as a source of nutrition and energy for micro-organisms which remove phosphates from the water.

Abstract: A connectionless communications network includes a number of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite nodes. Motion of the satellites constantly changes the topology of the network. A virtual model of the network having fixed virtual nodes, is maintained in a connection control system. This virtual model is used to control the route that traffic will take through the real network. As topology changes happen in the network then the virtual nodes of the model become embodied by different real nodes and communicate their virtual identity to connected nodes. Routing of the traffic is performed with reference to the virtual network so that routing follows the current embodiment of the virtual network.
