Abstract: A hydrolysis cell for the conversion of kinetic energy into chemical energy is proposed. It is
characterised in that the electrical current (18) for the cleavage process is provided via the
rotation of at least one disc (9,10) in a strong, substantially constant magnetic field (17) oriented
substantially parallel to the rotational axis (5) of said disc (9,10). Thus a very simple
and effective conversion is provided which e.g. allows the levelling of fluctuations in available
kinetic energy in windmill power systems.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a plate for a slide gate with indentation. The plate is
characterized in that it is asymmetric relative to its axes (XX, YY) so as to cooperate with
a complementary form (34) of the indentations in order to define an aligning device that
permits it to be mounted only in one position in the upper indentation (14) and in only
one position in the lower indentation (18). 
     The combination of both the plate and the slide gate permit efficient and safe recycling of
the plates after a step of cleaning, repairing or reconditioning of the plate surface.

Abstract: A calibration station for a printhead adapted to provide a beam of
electromagnetic radiation from a variable electromagnetic energy source onto a
sensitive radiation medium, the calibration station, incorporates a sensor disposed
for sensing the beam provided by the printhead, wherein the sensor provides an
output sensor signal indicative of the sensed power of the beam. A control circuit
is adapted to accept the output sensor signal from the sensor and adjusts the
variable electromagnetic energy source. A filter is disposed in the path of the
beam between the printhead and sensor, adapted to transmit to the sensor a portion
of incident electromagnetic radiation over a predefined range of wavelengths,
dependent upon a measured response characteristic of the radiation-sensitive
medium.

Title: Optical communication system
Inventor: HASUO KOJI
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: An optical communication system including optical
transmitters, in which every two adjacent transmitters are
interconnected through a working transmission line and an
auxiliary transmission line and an optical signal is
transmitted through one of the transmission lines. Each
transmitter has an optical amplifier and a controller. The
optical amplifier of an optical transmitter amplifies an
optical signal inputted through one of the transmission line
carrying the optical signal between the optical transmitter
and the upstream-side adjacent optical transmitter and outputs
an optical signal containing a signal component and a noise
component. The controller controls the level of the optical
signal outputted from the optical amplifier so that the signal
component of the optical signal may be at a predetermined
level, and corrects the level of the optical signal when the
transmission line carrying the optical signal between the
optical transmitter and the upstream-side adjacent optical
transmitter or between two upstream-side optical transmitters
is changed from one to the other of the two transmission
lines.

IPC: G11C27/02
Filed: 2001-07-09
Abstract: A driver circuit operating in stages that comprise a programming stage and a
reproduction stage, the circuit comprising: a plurality current paths each of which passes
through the circuit, a current driven element, a transistor connected so as operatively to
control the current supplied to the said element, a capacitor connected for storing an operating
voltage of the transistor during the programming stage, and switching means which control
the current paths, the arrangement being such that one of the current paths does not include
the said element. No current is applied to the current driven element by the current
controlling transistor during the programming stage and thus the overall power consumption
is reduced. Furthermore, the circuit can be operated from a normal supply voltage rather than
requiring a high bias voltage. During the programming stage, the circuit uses a current sink
rather than a current source. Preferably, the current driven element is an electroluminescent
element.

Title: Autoconfiguration of control connections in an exchange
Inventor: TIITTANEN TERO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-01-09
Abstract: The invention concerns autoconfiguration of control connections in a telecommunication switch. Multiplexers ( 31, 32, 33 ) themselves and without external control information find out which ports of the switching fabric ( 34 ) they are in connection with. After finding out the ports, logical connections are established. Each multiplexer forms probe cells addressed to each of the ports ( 0, 1, 2 ). Each probe cell includes one port index, preferably in the header. The switching fabric ( 34 ) switches the probe cell to that output port which has been indicated in the header of the probe cell. Thus, those probe cells fed from a port into the switching fabric are returned to the same port if the target in the header is the same as the port number. In consequence of this, the multiplexer receives only the same kind of probe cells. After the connection ports have been determined, a logical connection between each of the multiplexers ( 31, 32, 33 ) and the operation and maintenance unit ( 35 ) is established. The processor units connected to the multiplexers can now receive configuration information and instructions from the operation and maintenance unit ( 35 ).

Abstract: Une unique rafale de signaux remontants dans une région à signaux remontants d'un système de radiotéléphonie satellitaire est reçue pendant une trame de signal remontant au niveau d'au moins deux satellites visibles de la région à signaux remontants. Cette rafale en réception provenant du terminal utilisateur, est reçue par lesdits satellites visibles, à la suite de quoi elle subit une combinaison en diversité. Ces mêmes satellites reçoivent de préférence une unique rafale de signaux remontants d'une pluralité de terminaux utilisateur, de préférence de la totalité de ces terminaux, et ce, dans la région à signaux remontants, sans chevauchement de périodes, de façon à pouvoir réaliser la combinaison en diversité. De façon plus préférentielle, la totalité des satellites reçoit les rafales de signaux de la totalité des terminaux utilisateur dans la région des signaux remontants pendant la trame de signaux remontants, et ce, sans chevauchement de périodes, de façon qu'on puisse aboutir à une diversité des liaisons de retour combinant l'utilisation de tous les satellites visibles. Pour qu'au moins deux satellites visibles dans la liaison de retour puissent recevoir les rafales de signaux en provenance de plusieurs terminaux utilisateur dans la région de signaux remontants, on ménage un intervalle de sécurité entre les rafales adjacentes de signaux remontants émises par les terminaux utilisateur dans la région de signaux remontants. Cet intervalle de sécurité est établi sur la base d'un écart entre instants d'arrivée des rafales adjacentes de signaux remontants arrivant à l'un des satellites, notamment ceux pour lesquels l'angle d'élévation est minimum, ou ceux de l'horizon. Les intervalles de sécurité entre rafales adjacentes de signaux remontants émises par les terminaux utilisateur de la région de signaux remontants peuvent être fixes ou variables. Il en résulte que ce système de radiotéléphonie satellitaire est capable d'utiliser de préférence la totalité des signaux émis depuis les terminaux utilisateur, et ce de façon à permettre une meilleure réception par le satellite et/ou à permettre une réduction de consommation électrique par les terminaux utilisateur.
