Patent EP-0882219-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NICHOLSON JAMES E
IPC: G01J3/12
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: Un signal optique incident est capté par un réseau d'ouvertures et orienté vers des paires de fibres, chaque paire présentant une fibre à temporisation d'une longeur unique et une fibre sans temporisation. Chaque paire de fibres présente également une caractéristique de transmission unique. On procède ensuite à une interpolation temporelle à l'aide de la courbe de caractéristiques de transmission pour chaque fibre à temporisation, et la durée à partir du temps auquel le signal optique arrive sur les fibres sans temporisation et le temps auquel le signal arrive sur les fibres à temporisation afin de déterminer la longeur d'onde. Dans un second mode de réalisation, chaque paire de fibres à temporisation et sans temporisation est remplacée par un répartiteur de fibres orientant la lumière dans une fibre sans temporisation et une fibre à temporisation ayant été subdivisée à partir de l'entrée du répartiteur. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, on utilise deux répartiteurs de fibres à la place des paires de fibres. Chaque répartiteur présente un certain nombre de branches destinées à recevoir la lumière ainsi qu'une extrémité de sortie destinée à guider la lumière sur les photodétecteurs. Le temps de propagation du signal optique à temporisation, comparé au signal sans temporisation, et d'autres facteurs tels que la longeur de la fibre individuelle et les caractéristiques de transmission, sont utilisés pour déterminer la longeur d'onde.

Abstract: A boot strap assignment system is disclosed for a symmetric
multiprocessor computer in which the role of the boot strap
processor is assigned to one of the working processors by a
central agent as part of power-on configuration. The
system includes a system management processor which
monitors the operation of the multiprocessor computer and
controls a switching circuit that selectively transmits the
boot strap assignment signal from the central agent to the
working processors. Since the management processor
monitors environmental conditions and shut-down events, it
can predict the failure of working processors and assign
the bootstrapping function appropriately. A watch dog
timer is also provided in case the bootstrapping fails so
that another working processor can be assigned the task of
booting up the computer.

Abstract: An article separating and drying system (20) which, separates a series of
container ends (24) moving along a path of travel (40) and removes moisture from a
compound applied to the container ends. The article separating and drying system
includes a magnetic separating assembly (36) which imposes a magnetic field on the
series container ends for similarly magnetizing the container ends causing neighboring
ends (30, 32) to repel one another. The magnetic repulsion of neighboring ends
produces a gap (34) between the neighboring ends as they move through the path of
travel. A conveying device (72) is provided to controllably move the container ends
through the path of travel. An air distribution assembly (38) is provided to move air
through the gap between neighboring container ends thereby contacting the liner

Abstract: Many recuperators have components which react to corrosive gases and are used in applications where the donor fluid includes highly corrosive gases. These recuperators have suffered reduced life, increased service or maintenance, and resulted in increased cost. The present header assembly (80) when used with recuperators (10) reduces the brittle effect of a portion of the ceramic components. Thus, the present header assembly (80) used with the present recuperator (10) increases the life, reduces the service and maintenance, and reduces the increased cost associated with corrosive action of components used to manufacture recuperators (10). The present header assembly (80) is comprised of a first ceramic member (40), a second ceramic member (70), a reinforcing member (91) being in spaced relationship to the first ceramic member (40) and the second ceramic member (70). The header assembly (80) is further comprised of a refractory material (100) disposed in contacting relationship with the first ceramic member (40), the second ceramic member (70) and the reinforcing member (91) and having a strengthening member (86) wrapped around the refractory material (100). The present header assembly (80) provides a high strength load bearing header assembly (80) having good thermal cycling characteristics, good resistance to a corrosive environment and good steady state strength at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel process for producing a calcium phosphate cement or filler which hardens in a temperature dependent fashion in association with an endothermic reaction. In the reaction a limited amount of water is mixed with dry calcium phosphate precursors to produce a hydrated precursor paste. Hardening of the paste occurs rapidly at body temperature and is accompanied by the conversion of one or more of the reactants to poorly crystalline apatitic calcium phosphate. The hardened cements, fillers, growth matrices, orthopedic and delivery devices of the invention are rapidly resorbable and stimulate hard tissue growth and healing. A composite material is provided including a strongly bioresorbable, poorly crystalline apatitic calcium phosphate composite and a supplementary material. The supplementary material is in intimate contact with the hydroxyapatite material in an amount effective to impart a selected characteristic to the composite. The supplemental material may be biocompatible, bioresorbable or non-resorbable. A method for treating a bone defect also is provided by identifying a bone site suitable for receiving an implant, and introducing a strongly resorbable, poorly crystalline apatitic calcium phosphate at the implant site, whereby bone is formed at the implant site. The implant site may be a variety of sites, such as a tooth socket, non-union bone, bone prosthesis, an osteoporotic bone, an intervertebral space, an alveolar ridge or a bone fracture.
