Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'évaluation non destructive de l'état d'une conduite acheminant un fluide, consistant à déterminer une valeur effective représentant la vitesse de propagation d'une perturbation acoustique se propageant entre deux points de la conduite séparés dans le sens de la longueur. Une valeur prédite correspondante de la vitesse de propagation est calculée à partir d'au moins un paramètre d'épaisseur de paroi de la conduite à l'aide d'un modèle théorique associé à la propagation d'ondes acoustiques dans la conduite. Ce modèle suppose que la conduite possède une épaisseur de paroi finie caractérisée par un profil d'épaisseur circonférentielle prédéterminé. Le paramètre d'épaisseur de paroi est alors calculé en faisant correspondre la valeur effective et la valeur prédite, par exemple en utilisant la valeur effective dans une formule prédisant la valeur théorique.

Abstract: A polymer electrolyte; and an electrochemical device utilizing the polymer electrolyte. In accordance with the diffusion of cell-phone and other portable information devices and in accordance with the recent-year development of new use of power source for hybrid electric automobile, etc., enhanced reliability is increasingly demanded on electrochemical devices, such as battery, for use as the power source thereof. Although generally a liquid electrolyte is employed in electrochemical devices, the liquid electrolyte is likely to induce trouble, such as liquid leakage, presenting a major factor for reliability loss. Accordingly, use of a polymer electrolyte in place of the liquid electrolyte to attain an enhancement of reliability is being studied. However, conventional polymer electrolytes have had the problem that it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy ion conductivity and reliability. The problem has been solved by the use of polymer electrolyte (5) having a ketonic carbonyl group wherein the weight ratio of the ketonic carbonyl group is in the range of 15 to 50 wt% based on the weight of the polymer material.

Abstract: One illustrative method for reducing power consumption in a mobile communication device of a wireless local area network (WLAN) involves the steps of identifying a communication signal quality value between the mobile device and a wireless access point of the WLAN with which the mobile device is currently associated; determining an initial timer value based on a predefined relationship with the communication signal quality value where, as the communication signal quality value decreases, the initial timer value correspondingly decreases; initializing a scan trigger timer with the initial timer value and running the scan trigger timer; and upon expiration of the scan trigger timer: causing a scanning operation to be performed for identifying one or more wireless access points in a coverage region; and repeating the acts of identifying, determining, initializing and running the scan trigger timer, and causing the scanning operation to be performed. Preferably, the mobile device operates to refrain from performing scanning operations altogether when the communication signal quality value is greater than a scan trigger threshold value. The scan trigger threshold value may be derived from or calculated based on a previously-received or last- sampled communication signal quality value of the wireless access point sampled at a time when the mobile device chose to reassociate with a different wireless access point of the WLAN.

Abstract: A plate-mounted bollard which includes an internal impact absorption mechanism that enables the bollard to absorb impact forces greater than conventional plate- mounted bollards. The bollard makes use of a force transfer process that shifts impact forces to areas better able to resiliently absorb the impact without causing damage to the bollard, the impact absorption mechanism, or the ground in which the bollard is installed. The impact absorption mechanism consists of an internal resilient core rod mounted at its proximal end to a base plate which is fixed to the ground. Impact forces are then transferred through an outer shell to the distal or upper end of the internal resilient core. With energy from the impact force being distributed along the maximum length of the resilient core rod, the rod flexes and the full length of the rod is utilized to absorb the impact energy.
