Abstract: A connector 20 for connecting a vacuum cleaner 22 to an
end of a hose 24 comprises a threaded body that receives
a threaded shell 14. When the shell 14 is fully
tightened to the outside of the body, the shell distorts

Abstract: A cold shrinkable sleeve comprising a sheet (1) of resilient material adapted
to be placed around a cable or tube (6) to be repaired. The sheet is provided
with spaced-apart holes (2) and is first resiliently elongated. Removable spacing
means or struts (5) are then positioned in the elongated holes (2) to hold the
sheet in its elongated state. To form a sleeve, the sheet is placed around the
cable and its ends are joint together. The spacing means are then removed
whereby the sleeve shrinks towards the cable. The sheet has the particularity of
having its cross section reduced between the spaced apart holes. This reduction
of section is realized by means of grooves (3) or small holes (4) extending
through the sheet. Owing to the latter, the internal forces appearing in the
elongated sheet are distributed in an asymmetrical way that avoids the spacing
means to overlap each other. Additionally, anti-friction means comprising a layer
of silicon coated polyester film (14, 15) covering the upper and the lower surface
of the spacing means are provided for facilitating the withdrawal of the latter.

Abstract: Afin qu'il soit possible de réduire les calculs nécessaires lors de la mise en oeuvre du procédé fondé sur le principe de ce que l'on appelle l'appariement modèle-objet corrélatif et également d'augmenter la capacité de rendement, la réduction d'échelle de l'image de départ se fait à différents échelons de résolution au moyen de tableaux contenant toutes les sommes des valeurs de pixel d'une image à l'intérieur d'un carré (running sums). En outre, à la place d'une égalisation d'histogramme ou d'une transformation non linéaire, on utilise la normalisation des valeurs de pixel pour toutes les positions de masque possibles, par soustraction de l'approximation linéaire la meilleure, ainsi qu'une transformation des valeurs de pixel à la valeur moyenne 0 et un écart type constant. Un premier classificateur assure la fonction d'espacement à calculer au plus vite, pour les valeurs de pixel se trouvant à l'intérieur du masque.

IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: A new non-intrusive technique for measuring the relative amount of each individual phase
in a multiphase fluid is disclosed, which also provides certain flow rate information. The
inventive technique is based on the measurement of displacement current which flows in a field
created by electrodes located in or on the walls of a pipe through which the fluid flows. The
inventive technique was a database, obtained, for example, by empirical measurements, which
relates specific values of specific parameters of the displacement current (e.g., phase and
magnitude) to specific known states inside the pipe, for example, particular percentages of each
phase in a multiphase flow, such as an oil/gas/water mixture. Then, a measurement of current
of an actual pipe in the field, the phase and magnitude (envelope) of a displacement current is
obtained. This data may be outputted in digital form and transmitted to a remote computer
located remotely. With the aid of the computer the predetermined database is used to correlate
the actually measured phase and magnitude measurement with a particular state inside the pipe,
e.g., an oil/gas/water mixture with a particular amount of each phase. In some circumstances,
the measurements based on displacement current may not provide sufficient information about
the state of a multiphase fluid in the pipe. To obtain additional or, in some cases, more accurate
results, it is desirable to utilize a more extensive predetermined database which may include other
parameters besides those resulting from the displacement current measurement, i.e., parameters
obtained from other non-intrusive flow metering techniques, such as transit-time, reflexor, and
bubble detection. Thus, this predetermined database contains a multidimensional mapping
between particular parameter values and known particular states or conditions inside the pipe.
In this case, to perform an actual measurement to obtain data about what is going on in the pipe, 
parameters from a plurality of actual non-intrusive measurements, including magnitude and phase
parameters from a displacement measurement are obtained and converted to digital form. These
parameters are transmitted to a computer which is located remotely from the pipe being
measured. The computer uses the predetermined database to identify the condition inside the pipe
which most closely correlates with the actually measured parameters. In this way, information
about the state inside the pipe is obtained non-intrusively without the use of any equation of state.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device with copper
interconnects is disclosed. In the process of the present invention, a layer
of dielectric material is formed on a substrate. At least one recess is formed
in the layer of dielectric material. Barrier layers and seed layers for
electroplating are then deposited over the entire surface of the substrate.
The recess is then filled with copper by electroplating copper over the
surface of the substrate. The electroplated copper has an average grain
size of about 0.1 µm to about 0.2 µm immediately after deposition. The
substrate is then annealed to increase the grain size of the copper and to
provide a grain structure that is stable over time at ambient conditions and
during subsequent processing. After annealing, the average grain size of
the copper is at least about 1 µm in at least one dimension. The copper
that is electroplated on the dielectric layer is then removed using an
expedient such as chemical mechanical polishing. The copper that remains
is the copper in the recess.
