Title: Device for variably actuating the gas exchange valves in reciprocating engines
Inventor: SCHOEN HELMUT
IPC: F01L1/18
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to fulfill, in a way that is superior to that of the previous state of the art, the demands placed by the engine on a variable valve control with regard to the shaping and accuracy of the valve lifting curves, to the simplicity of the structural design of the valve drive and of the associated adjusting mechanism, and to mechanical losses due to friction. These demands are met without any additional structural complexity, and, more particularly, without any changes to the overall height. This feat is achieved by means of the provision of a rotatable drive consisting of a housing (G), a shaft (W), an intermediate element (Z), and of an output element (A).

Inventor: TABORYSKI RAFAEL
IPC: F04F99/00
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne une pompe destinée à générer un débit électro-osmotique (EOF) dans une solution s'écoulant à travers un canal, un guide, un tuyau ou analogue. Le débit électro-osmotique est généré par l'application d'un champ électrique à travers une solution s'écoulant dans un canal délimité par des parois d'isolation. Le phénomène se fonde sur l'ionisation de sites sur la surface de manière que l'on atteigne l'électroneutralité avec un excès de charge mobile dans la solution. Le champ électrique agit sur la charge en excès, ce qui provoque l'écoulement du fluide. La quantité et la distribution de la charge en excès dépendent de la solution et des matériaux de la surface et sont en rapport avec un paramètre, à savoir le potentiel zéta (z) caractérisant des combinaisons de matériaux/solution.

Abstract: An emphasis converter 52 compares the image data of the
current vertical period with the image data of the previous
vertical period and controls the input image data to a liquid
crystal display panel 4 based on the emphasis conversion
parameters stored in tables of ROMs 3a to 3c so as to achieve
accelerated drive. A microcomputer 38 is able to realize
stable control of selecting emphasis conversion parameters
by adding hysteresis to the detected temperature from a
thermistor 37 even when the detected temperature fluctuates
up and down crossing the temperature threshold.

Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'insérer une endoprothèse auto-extensible dans un dispositif d'implantation, puis d'implanter ladite endoprothèse dans une lumière corporelle. L'appareil selon l'invention comprend un tube extérieur; un tube intérieur contenu à l'intérieur du tube extérieur; un élément de capture monté coulissant sur le tube intérieur et pourvu d'un manchon pliable dont l'extrémité proximale est inférieure au tube extérieur et l'extrémité distale supérieure au tube extérieur; un élément de blocage fixé sur le tube intérieur, conçu pour empêcher l'insertion d'une endoprothèse dans le manchon de manière proximale audit élément de blocage, et empêcher l'élément de capture de se placer de manière distale à un point prédéterminé par rapport audit tube intérieur. L'élément de capture est disposé sur le tube intérieur de sorte que l'extrémité distale du manchon peut s'étendre au-delà de l'extrémité distale du tube extérieur, dans une position dépliée, et de sorte que le manchon peut être déplacé dans le tube extérieur par l'élément de blocage et se plier à l'intérieur dudit tube extérieur lorsque le tube intérieur est déplacé de manière proximale par rapport au tube extérieur. Une endoprothèse dont une extrémité est insérée dans le manchon peut ainsi être déplacée dans le tube extérieur, puis capturée dans un état d'étranglement radial à l'intérieur du tube extérieur. L'endoprothèse est déployée par insertion de l'appareil d'implantation dans une lumière corporelle, de sorte à placer l'extrémité distale du tube adjacente au point de déploiement de l'endoprothèse, et par déplacement du tube extérieur de manière proximale par rapport à l'endoprothèse, l'élément de blocage empêchant cette dernière de se déplacer avec le tube extérieur sur le tube intérieur, de sorte à libérer l'endoprothèse de sa position d'étranglement radial.

Abstract: The electric switch (1) with actuation direction resulting from the user's contact without displacing any mechanical element of the switch comprises means for the return of information of tactile type signalling to the user that the actuation has been detected and the switching realized. The return of tactile information is generated by an electric signal sent from a generator (6) when the detection of the contact is effective. The detection is realized by a capacitive detector (4), and the electric signal is formed and/or modulated by an electronic control circuit (5) connected to the generator (6).  The return of tactile information is by repetitive motion of a mechanical element in contact with the actuating finger, or by variable motion of the mechanical element as a function of the duration, the amplitude, or the force of initial actuation. The return of tactile information is generated by a vibration in response to the detection of contact, and the vibration is obtained by a piezoelectric component (2) excited by an electrode (3) supplied with the electric signal after detecting the contact. At least one electrode (3) of the piezoelectric component (2) is the antenna of the capacitive detector (4). The piezoelectric component (2) is switched from the antenna mode to the vibration mode by a switching organ of type relay, multiplexer or equivalent. The signal supplied to the piezoelectric component (2) is sinusoidal whose frequency is in the range 220-300 Hz. The signal is modulated in amplitude by a sinusoidal signal of low frequency, in particular in the range 10-20 Hz. The sinusoidal signal is sent in regular bursts. The return of tactile information is generated by an electromotor setting in rotation a massive part whose center of gravity is radially eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A randmization section 101 makes the number of 1s

performs coding processing on data in which the number
of 1s and number of 0s have become the same. An HS-DSCH

modulation of the coded data, followed by spreading
processing using a spreading code. Meanwhile, a common
known signal undergoes M-ary modulation, followed by
spreading processing using a spreading code, by a CPICH
modulation and spreading section 104. The common known
signal that has undergone spreading processing by CPICH
modulation and spreading section 104 and data that has
undergone spreading processing by HS-DSCH modulation and
spreading section 103 are multiplexed by a multiplexing
section 105. A multiplexed transmit signal is
transmitted from a radio transmitting section 106. By

a high degree of accuracy by means of a simple circuit
configuration.
