Patent EP-1158085-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZEIFFER DIETER FRIEDRICH
IPC: D06B1/08
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for applying a chemical foam to a traveling substrate (16) in which a
plurality of shut-off valves (17-22) are spaced along a foam conduit (12) between a foam generator (11)
and an applicator head (13) to form the conduit (12) into isolated sections when the valves (17-22) are
simultaneously closed upon stoppage of the traveling substrate (16), thereby maintaining
pressure differential along the length of the conduit (12) in readiness for resumption of
operation when the substrate (16) resumes travel and the valves (17-22) are opened. To avoid
decomposition of the foam in the applicator head (13) during stoppage, a small by-pass
conduit (32) is connected to the valved conduit (12) upstream and downstream of the valves (17-22) to
allow a small quantity of foam to continue to flow to the applicator head (13) during stoppage
of the substrate (16). A discharge valve (34) at a discharge outlet (33) of the applicator head (13) opens
during substrate stoppage to allow foam to discharge from the applicator head (13) and
maintain circulation of foam therein. The discharged foam is either returned directly to
the generator (11) for recycling or is fed selectively to one or the other of a pair of settling
tanks (39,40) until that settling tank is full, at which time the foam is directed to the other settling
tank and the foam in the first settling tank is allowed to decompose to a liquid, following
which it is recycled to the generator (11) for regeneration and recycling through the apparatus (10).

to be executed by the plurality of data processing devices
has become zero by completing the execution thereof, starts
sending the queued instructions in sequence to the plurality
of data processing devices, and continues to send the queued
instructions or every newly received instruction to the plurality
of data processing devices until the number of instructions
being executed or waiting to be executed by the plurality of
data processing devices reaches the predetermined number.

Abstract: The invention features novel osteoregulin polypeptides, nucleic acid sequences which
encode the polypeptides, vectors, antibodies, hosts which express heterologous
osteoregulins, and animal cells and mammals with a targeted disruption of an
osteoregulin gene. These osteoregulins play a role in regulating bone homeostasis,
adiposity, and the calcification of atherosclerotic plaques. Accordingly, the invention also
features screening assays to identify modulators of osteoregulin activity as well as
methods of treating mammals for diseases or disorders associated with osteoregulin
activity.

Abstract: Coolant gas recovery and reuse from a heat exchanger (2) is automatically
interrupted when the oxygen content of the used gas exceeds a predetermined
maximum concentration and is recommenced when the oxygen content falls below a
predetermined minimum concentration. The mass flow of coolant gas (5) introduced into
the passageway is controlled independently of its composition and, during normal
operation, the mass flow ratio of coolant gas withdrawn (15,15') for recovery to coolant
gas (5) introduced into the heat exchanger (2) is maintained constant. This ratio can be
ramped up to the constant level in a predetermined manner on start up of fibre cooling
and following recovery interruption. The invention provides both methods and apparatus
and has particular application to Optical Fibre (1) manufacture.

Title: Automatic test pattern generation for functional register transfer level circuits using assignment decision diagrams
Inventor: GHOSH INDRADEEP
IPC: G01R31/3183
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: Test patterns are generated by generating (105)
assignment decision diagrams that represent a register
transfer level digital circuit. A nine-valued symbolic
algebra is used in which objectives are determined
(107) for portions identified in the assignment
decision diagram. The objectives are justified and
propagated by traversing the assignment decision
diagram in which a test environment is found (111).
Heuristics are used (115) if a test environment is not
initially found. Using the test environment found,
predetermined test vectors are propagated (117) to
obtain a system-level test set. Each test set for each
portion is concatenated (123) to obtain a complete test
set for the register transfer level digital circuit.

Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle, having at least
first and second shock absorbes (20, 30). The first shock
absorber has a first main piston (22), and the second
shock absorber has a second main piston (32). The shock
absorbers are motively linked such that when the first
main piston retracts, the second main piston is also
caused to retract. The first and second shock absorbers
may be hydraulic shock absorbers, wherein the first shock
absorber defines a first hydraulic chamber (28) therein,
and the second shock absorber defines a second hydraulic
chamber (40) therein, the first and second hydraulic
chambers being connected with a hydraulic line (50), so
that causing the first main piston to retract reduces the
size of the first hyudraulic chamber, which increases the
size of the second hydraulic chamber, which then causes
the second main piston to retract. The suspension system
may include an adjustor (70) for convenient adjusting of
the suspension system. The suspension system may include
a remote reservoir (90) to accommodate changes in the
volumes of the first and second hydraulic chabers.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif électromécanique (Fig. 2) destiné à tester des microcircuits intégrés (12c), comprenant un sous-ensemble support de puce (12a-12d), un sous-ensemble convertisseur de puissance (13a-13c), et un sous-ensemble régulateur de température (14a-14d), pressés les uns contre les autres en plusieurs séries, par des mécanismes de pressage respectifs (15a-15g). L'un des avantages de ce dispositif électromécanique est que lors du pressage du sous-ensemble régulateur de température (14a-14d) contre le sous-ensemble support de puce (12a-12d), de la chaleur peut être ajoutée/enlevée des puces (12c) par conduction, la température des puces pouvant ainsi être régulée avec précision. Un autre avantage de ce dispositif électromécanique et que le pressage du sous-ensemble convertisseur de puissance (13a-13c) contre le sous-ensemble support de puce (12a-12d), permet de réduire la distance entre les puces (12c) testées et les dispositifs d'alimentation (13c) de ces puces. Par conséquent, les tensions des puces peuvent facilement être maintenues constantes pendant que la dissipation de puissance des puces change rapidement lorsque les puces sont testées. Un autre avantages de ce dispositif électromécanique est que le contact physique entre les trois sous-ensembles (12a-12d, 13a-13c, 14a, 14d) se fait et se défait rapidement, par les mécanismes de pressage. Cette caractéristique de branchement/débranchement rapide est très utile dans un environnement de test de puces.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de fabrication de pièces métalliques autoporteuses sans soudure par métallisation sous vide de nickel, les pièces présentant une épaisseur minimale donnée, une première surface aérodynamique de forme, et une deuxième surface sensiblement parallèle. Ce procédé, qui remplace les soudures coûteuses en main d'oeuvre de segments de métal fabriqués séparément pour obtenir des formes aérodynamiques complexes, donne des pièces plus précises, plus économiques, et de résistance et dureté contrôlées. Le moulage de la pièce de tôle sans soudure se fait comme suit: élaboration d'un moule dont l'une des surfaces au moins est le négatif de la première surface de la pièce; pose du moule dans une chambre fermée de métallisation sous vide de nickel; dépôt de nickel sur la surface du moule jusqu'à ce qu'on obtienne une ébauche de nickel présentant une épaisseur minimale et une surface extérieure de dépôt; puis séparation de l'ébauche d'avec le moule.

free to slide on the plate when they are retracted. The
reciprocation between plate and sheet causes the movement
of the blades to protrude or to retract with respect to
the holes.
