Abstract: L'invention concerne un viscosimètre conçu pour détecter ou caractériser la contrainte nécessaire pour cisailler un fluide à un taux donné, qui comporte deux éléments montés coaxialement permettant une rotation relative. Un espace annulaire entre les deux éléments définit une voie d'écoulement pour le fluide. Ladite voie est conçue de façon que, lors de la rotation différentielle des éléments, le fluide s'écoule à travers l'espace annulaire qui est fonction de la rotation différentielle et de la viscosité du fluide. Un capteur mesure le couple ou l'équivalent du couple nécessaire pour réaliser une telle rotation différentielle entre les éléments.

Abstract: An antimicrobial material having at least one yarn having fine fiber of 1.0 denier or less and at least one yarn having antimicrobial fiber that are engaged with each other, wherein the antimicrobial fibers impart an antimicrobial property to the entire material. In a preferred embodiment, the yarns of fine fiber and yarns of antimicrobial fiber are woven or knitted together. It is further preferred that the fine fiber be less than 0.3 denier, have a diameter of approximately 3 microns, and have a generally triangular cross-section with sharp edges, therefore allowing the fine fiber to substantially remove bacteria, fungi and other microbes from a surface. It is also preferred that the antimicrobial fibers comprise an acetate fiber spun together with polyester to give the antimicrobial fiber added strength.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a previous state of stress in the area of a mountain range or soil. Said method comprises the following steps: applying a reference bit for a radial position, excavating a tunnel section, introducing a radially effective support in the area of the reference bit, determining the force acting upon said support and/or determining the dimensions of the support, and determining the previous state of stress using the detected force and/or dimensions of the support. The method for determining parts of a line that is characteristic of a mountain range comprises the following steps: introducing gradually variable, radially effective safety devices, allowing the support introduced to be deformed by geometrical changes, determining the force acting upon said support and determining the course and/or a parameter of the line characteristic of the mountain range on the basis of the detected force and/or the changed dimensions of the support. The values obtained are used in tunneling methods and systems.

Abstract: In the present invention, winding units (19) as a stator (23)
are fixedly mounted in a cylindrical housing (1). A rotor (29)
is provided on vanes (26) for supplying wind. The rotor (29) is
disposed to surround the stator (23), thereby forming a brushless
motor (30) that provides a hair direr having low noise level and
lighter construction. The rotor has a sufficiently larger
dimension in a direction of flow of wind than the stator (23). The
stator (23) and rotor (28) are positioned relative to each other
such that the center of the stator (23) in the direction of flow
of wind is at the same position as the center of the rotor (29)
in the direction of flow of wind. Thus, even if the rotor (29)
moves slightly in the direction of flow of wind when the rotor (29)
is rotating, the torque will not change significantly.

Abstract: A method and system for backing up and restoring single instance store (SIS) files comprising links to common store files. A dynamic link library (DLL) including an interface enables a backup/restore application to properly backup and restore SIS-enabled volumes including SIS links and their corresponding store files. For each link to be backed up, the DLL tracks whether its corresponding common store file has already been identified for backing up to the backup application, such that it is identified only once, whereby only one copy of a common store file is backed up per volume, regardless of the number of additional links pointing thereto. For each link to be restored, the DLL tracks whether its corresponding common store file has already been identified for restoring to the restore application, or is already present on the volume, whereby a common store file for a link file is only restored to a volume only once and if not already present on that volume.

Abstract: "Stabilizing base for truck-mounted mobile cranes 360° work
sites" wherein, instead of placing the front supports
perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle ( parallel
to the rear beams as indicated), they are oriented towards the
truck cabin thereby forming an acute angle so that, when the
front beams are extended, the support points of the vertical
cylinders are displaced towards the front part of the vehicle
thereby obtaining a major longitudinal separation between the
front and the rear supports and consequently an appropriate
stability base. Thus, the gravity centre of the loaded crane with
its boom oriented forwards is within the support base formed by
the four stabilizing supports.

Abstract: An NO x  storage-and-reduction type catalyst is used which
exhibits a saturated NO x  storage amount of 5 g or more as NO 2  with
respect to 1 liter of a catalyst volume at 500 °C, and rich spiking
is controlled so that an actual NO x  storage amount of the NO x 
storage-and-reduction type catalyst becomes 50% or less of the
saturated NO x  storage amount. 
     Since the saturated NO x  storage amount is large, the NO x  storage
amount is large even when it is 50% or less, it is possible to prolong
intervals of the rich spiking. Then, since NO x  storage component
stores NO x  preferentially into the sites which are likely to store
and release NO x , a reduction efficiency is high. Therefore, while
prolonging the intervals of the rich spiking and sustaining an effect
of mileage improvement, it is possible to improve the reduction
efficiency of NO x .

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de précloquage d'une préforme de fibres optiques, destiné à réaliser une dépouille de pointe optimisée de façon préalable, ainsi qu'un système d'étirage de fibres optiques. Le temps d'arrêt d'un dispositif d'étirage de fibres optiques peut être réduit considérablement par la mise en oeuvre de préformes présentant une forme de pointe optimisée de façon préalable. Les pointes optimisées de façon préalable selon l'invention subissent une séparation par fusion au moyen d'un élément de chauffage par induction d'un four de chauffage. De préférence, le four de précloquage présente un profil thermique essentiellement identique à celui du four d'étirage. Par conséquent, comme la pointe de la préforme est optimisée et le verre superflu à été retiré, le rendement du dispositif d'étirage est augmenté de manière avantageuse. Par ailleurs, la forme de la pointe de la préforme est optimisée du fait que ladite pointe à été exposée à un profil thermique identique à celui du four d'étirage.
