Abstract: The tachograph is equipped with a pulse generator which can be activated by at least one control to produce a sequence simulating a road speed signal. This sequence is transmitted over the tachograph output wiring for a check on the speedometer and/or on equipment which imposes an automatic speed limit on the vehicle. A nonvolatile memory in the tachograph registers the date and time of at least the most recent speed signal simulation, and/or counts the number of such simulations performed within a fixed unit of time. The duration of each simulation is measured by a timer.

Abstract: The seat has an adjuster for regulating various moveable and deformable elements which are grouped together in a multi-function device and provide a way of altering the chair users position. The way for altering one or more of the elements is via an external command point (5,8). A first command is carried out by rotation of a first axle at the command point, a second by a second coaxial axis and a third by movement of the second axis along the first axis. Raising of the seat is by use of a pneumatic system with a compressed gas cylinder, tilting by a system with a coiled spring which is tensioned accordingly, the multi-position feature is more accurate use of the separate position features.

Abstract: A process for producing LCP films that have improved tear resistance, improved balance of physical properties, and relatively wrinkle-free surfaces. An annular co-extrusion die (2) is used to line the LCP (11) with one or more surface layers (12) of a nonadherent polymer before the LCP becomes shear-oriented. The multilayer tube (1) formed by the co-extrusion is sealed, stretched and cooled by passing it over a sizing mandrel (3). The tube is slit open into a flat configuration.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for assembling electronics which allows for rapid heating and fast curing, and avoids subjecting the components to potentially damaging cure conditions. The process includes applying conductive or non-conductive curable thermoplastic or thermosetting resins, having adhesive properties, to a surface of the substrate or electrical component or both. One or more electrical components may be mounted on the substrate using the adhesive properties of the resin. The resin is then subjected to variable frequency microwave irradiation selected to cure the resin without adversely affecting the substrate or electrical components.

Abstract: There is disclosed a probe for facilitating the execution, as an endoscopy, of a haemostatis (sclerosis or binding of varices) in case of bleeding varices of the oesophagus, which is the predominant cause of death for cirrhotic patients. The probe which may be controlled by an operator other than the operator who manages the endoscopy allows the operating area to be isolated from the gastric cavity and the proximal end of the oesophagus by inflating two pneumatic bladders. This allows the operation to be executed in several more favourable circumstances: easier cleaning of the operating area from the considerable quantity of blood through the suction channel which the device is provided with; blocking of the reflux of the blood from the stomach to the oesophagus; prevention of the reflux of the blood to the upper respiratory tract and reduction of ab ingestis pneumonias; more effective suction of the blood in the gastric cavity; and keeping of a desired pressure in the operating area.

Abstract: Percutaneous methods and systems for treating an intervertebral disc are disclosed. An intervertebral disc treatment apparatus includes an introducer (12) and a catheter (14) having a distal end (28), a proximal end, a longitudinal axis, and an intradiscal section (16) at the distal end on which there is at least one functional element (29). The treatment proceeds by applying a force longitudinally to the proximal end of the catheter which is sufficient to advance the intradiscal section through the nucleus pulposus and around an inner wall of an annulus fibrosus, but which force is insufficient to puncture the annulus fibrosus. The functional element is positionned at a selected location of the intervertebral disc by advancing or retracting the catheter and optionally twisting the proximal end of the catheter. Then, the functional unit treats the intervertebral disc. Optionally, there is an additional step of aspirating and/or adding a substance to the intervertebral disc.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme permettant l'ajustement dynamique du nombre de paquets (164) envoyé dans le convoi (160) depuis un noeud (103) pour refléter la vitesse des paquets arrivant à ce noeud (103). Un convoi (160) est un groupe de paquets (150) qui sont envoyés depuis le noeud (103) sous forme d'une seule unité. Ce noeud (103) possède une longueur de convoi optimale que ledit noeud souhaiterait envoyer. Ce noeud (103) présente également un intervalle d'horloge, qui est le temps maximum à attendre avant d'envoyer le prochain convoi. Si cet intervalle expire et que le nombre des paquets (164) accumulés dans le convoi (160) est inférieur à la longueur de convoi optimale, le noeud (103) transmet alors le convoi (160) et règle la longueur de convoi optimale sur le nombre de paquets effectivement reçus, c'est-à-dire que la longueur de convoi optimale est ajustée à la baisse. Si le nombre de paquets accumulés est égal à la longueur de convoi optimale et que l'intervalle d'horloge n'a pas encore expiré, le noeud de réception (103) transmet ces paquets dans un convoi (160), et si le paquet suivant arrive avant l'expiration de l'intervalle (121), le noeud (103) augmente la longueur de convoi optimale.

Abstract: An improvement is disclosed for a boiler leak system that (a) measures fluid input into the recovery boiler system, (b) measures fluid output from the recovery boiler system, and (c) calculates fluid leakage loss based on an average difference between the measured fluid input and output values. The improvement increases the accuracy and responsiveness of calculating and interpreting the difference between the input and output fluid flow of the boiler. One aspect of the invention is an improved method which includes (1) compensating for the effects of boiler drum swelling and shrinking; (2) using multiple time frames to calculate the average differences between input and output such that a balance is struck between a highly responsive leak indication (short time frame) and a highly accurate leak indication (longer time frame); and/or (3) indicating a leak only after a predetermined certain sequence of significant differences between input and output is reached. Other aspects of the invention involve an apparatus and system for performing the above method.
