Abstract: A flow meter system that calculates mass flow rate based only on a single pressure signal. A flow controller is arranged in parallel with a restriction such that a constant pressure differential is maintained across the restriction. The pressure, and temperature if not controlled, of the fluid flowing through the restriction is measured on either side of the restriction. The pressure is compared to a plot of pressure versus mass flow rate calculated for the specific restriction and fluid being measured. The constant pressure differential maintained across the restriction yields a linear relationship between pressure and flow rate. If temperature is not controlled, the plot of pressure versus mass flow rate will remain linear, but the slope of the curve will be adjusted based on the temperature of the fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fastening a spacer (12) in a non-load bearing veneer wall in front of a solid wall (1), said veneer wall comprising an insulating layer (3) and an outer surface layer (4). The inventive method is characterized in that a drill (5) with a drill bit (8) that is rotationally rigidly linked therewith is used to place a bore in the solid wall (1) through the veneer wall, the drill bit (8) at the same time establishing a cut in the outer surface layer (4) of the veneer wall. An assembly pin (13) is introduced into the bore in the veneer wall and the spacer (12) is placed onto the assembly pin (13) which is then driven into the insulating layer (3) using an assembly tool. An anchor bolt (25) is inserted through a center opening (14) in the spacer (12) and is anchored in the solid wall (1), and a structural component (29) is placed onto the anchor bolt (25) and fastened therewith. The inventive spacer comprises a tube (2, 3) across the outer periphery of which a plurality of wing projections (24) are distributed and substantially extend radially outward.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur le système de commande de pompe à injection de moteur (1) comprenant un régulateur électronique (12) et un contrôleur (13), et faisant fonctionner le régulateur en mode isochrone. L'invention porte également sur un contrôleur (18) d'engin recevant un signal de pression (P) de refoulement, et commandant un régulateur (16) pour que, quand la pression de refoulement dépasse un seuil prédéterminé (P1), le volume déplacé par la pompe ne dépasse pas une valeur déterminée par une courbe (20) préétablie du couple d'absorption de la pompe, et pour que, quand la pression de refoulement de la pompe (2) ne dépasse pas un niveau prédéterminé (P1), le volume déplacé par la pompe croisse alors que la pression de refoulement s'abaisse au-dessous d'un seuil prédéterminé (p1). Ainsi, même si le régulateur fonctionne en mode isochrone, il est possible d'augmenter le débit lorsque la charge du moteur décroît.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour améliorer la cohérence de la mise à jour d'un logiciel dans un réseau ad hoc, il est proposé, dans une première étape (S10), de préparer une transition à partir d'une configuration de logiciel initiale vers une configuration de logiciel cible. Avant de décider de l'engagement en faveur de la nouvelle configuration de logiciel, il convient, dans une autre étape (S12), d'évaluer au moins un résultat de reconfiguration obtenu au niveau d'un autre dispositif mobile du réseau ad hoc. Sur la base de ce résultat, on peut se prononcer quant à savoir si, après l'engagement en faveur de la nouvelle configuration de logiciel, la cohérence des versions logicielles peut être conservée dans le réseau ad hoc. Si tel n'est pas le cas, par exemple du fait de l'échec de la mise à jour dans l'un des dispositifs mobiles, on exécute un repli vers la configuration de logiciel initiale.

Abstract: A stent ( 30 ) formed from cannula and having flexible segments ( 31 ) and high hoop strength segments ( 32 ) alternating therealong. Longitudinal struts or tie bars ( 41 ) interconnect the segments. Minimal length reduction of the strut occurs upon expansion. In the high hoop strength segment ( 32 ), struts ( 37 ) in a zig-zag configuration (Gianturco Z-stent) are initially parallel in the unexpanded strut condition. In the flexible segment ( 31 ), struts ( 58 ) extend from a respective C-shaped bend ( 59 ) to converge at the opposite ends thereof when unexpanded. In one embodiment, certain adjacent struts ( 39-41 ) of the hoop segment are spaced apart by elongated openings or gaps ( 46, 48 ) interposed therebetween and interconnected at their respective ends ( 42, 44 ) to form a T-shaped strut interconnection ( 45 ). The selected width ( 50, 51 ) of the first and third struts ( 54, 57 ) increases toward the ends ( 47, 48 ) of the elongated openings ( 46, 48 ) adjacent the strut interconnection ( 45 ). This strut width increase about one end of the strut significantly reduces the tensile strain exhibited about the opening end when the stent is radially expanded during manufacture. The tip length ( 52, 55 ) of the struts about the interconnection ( 45 ) is also adjusted (increased) along with the other C-shaped strut interconnections ( 59, 71 ) to further distribute the tensile strain developed during radial expansion.

Abstract: An optical vestigial sideband transmitter includes first and second intensity-modulated light sources and a pair of optical splitters. A first and second wavelength combiner receives a portion of the outputs of the first and second intensity-modulated light sources. The first wavelength combiner filters the two modulated signals to generate two vestigial sideband signals and multiplexes them onto a single waveguide such as an optical fiber for output to an optical transmission medium. The second wavelength combiner operates in conjunction with the first wavelength combiner to automatically and precisely regulate the optical wavelengths of the light sources, such that the passband of the first wavelength combiner substantially suppresses the redundant sideband from each modulated signal. After transmission, a vestigial sideband receiver including a wavelength splitter and optical-to-electrical receivers extracts the multiplicity of vestigial sideband signals placing them on separate optical waveguides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention is related to an electrooptic Q-switch comprising Langasite-type structured single crystals. The Q-switch consists of a rectangular piece of langasite (LGS) single crystal (1) and a reflection element (2) located on one side of the langasite crystal and a polariser (7) on the other side of the langasite crystal. Additionally a  lambda /4-plate (4) can be provided between the reflection element and the LGS crystal along the light propagation direction. The light beam which penetrates the LGS crystal along the main optical axis, is reflected by the reflection element, and passes the LGS crystal again. The advantage of this kind of electrooptic Q-switch is its low, adjustable, highly stable half-wave voltage. It overcomes the disadvantages of commercial Q-switches, such as the high, un-adjustable, low stable half-wave voltage and great half-wave voltage variation with temperature. <IMAGE>This invention is related to an electrooptic Q-switch comprising Langasite-type structured single crystals.
