Abstract: A method for producing a formed member (10, 20,
30, 50, 50', 60, 70, 80, FR, F4) made of a steel sheet
according to the present invention is characterized by
preparing a steel sheet material having tensile strength
of 500 MPa or less and containing a nitriding element;
forming a formed member (10', 20, 30', 50, 50', 60, 70,
80, FR, F3) having a predetermined shape by performing a
plastic forming on the steel sheet material; and
performing a nitriding treatment on the formed member so
that an average hardness in the sheet thickness direction
of the resultant steel sheet member is Hv 300 or more by
Vickers hardness, and further characterized in that the
difference in hardness between the surface part and the
inside center part in the thickness direction of the
steel sheet member of the formed member is Hv 200 or less
by Vickers hardness, thereby it is possible to reliably
obtain a formed member having a sufficiently high
strength after a nitriding treatment while ensuring a
plastic formability of a steel sheet in obtaining a
formed member made of a steel sheet member of high
strength by performing a nitriding treatment after
subjecting a steel sheet material to a plastic forming.

Abstract: To spin a yarn (17) of staple fibers, a spinning centrifuge (3) is used with a two-stage spinning action. Shortly before the end of the first stage, a prepared yarn end at the yarn wound on a cross wound bobbin (15) is laid in front of the final pair of rollers (10) at the drawing unit (9), and is spliced with the partially-twisted yarn (11) from the first stage. The additionally fed sliver (6) is cut, and the yarn path is changed. In the second stage, the partially-spun yarn cake (12) in the spinning centrifuge is taken off with additional twisting, and wound into a cross wound bobbin. The two-stage spinning process, for a yarn of staple fibers, takes the yarn end from the bobbin into a preparation station (18) before it is spliced with the partially-twisted yarn, where the end of the yarn is untwisted at least partially and thinned out. At the end of the second spinning stage, the yarn is taken off at a higher speed with a lower twist. The draft is temporarily raised at the drawing unit during the splicing phase at the first spinning stage, and at the end of the first spinning stage. The working direction of the final pair of drawing rollers is reversed while the partially-spun yarn is drawn off the spinning cake in the spinning centrifuge. A pressure roller at the final pair of drawing rollers is swung into a take-off setting, to take the partially-spun yarn from the cake in the spinning centrifuge.

Abstract: A cluster implements a virtual disk system that provides each node of the cluster access to each storage device of the cluster. The virtual disk system provides high availability such that a storage device may be accessed and data access requests are reliably completed even in the presence of a failure. To ensure consistent mapping and file permission data among the nodes, data are stored in a highly available cluster database. Because the cluster database provides consistent data to the nodes even in the presence of a failure, each node will have consistent mapping and file permission data. A cluster transport interface is provided that establishes links between the nodes and manages the links. Messages received by the cluster transports interface are conveyed to the destination node via one or more links. The configuration of a cluster may be modified during operation. Prior to modifying the configuration, a reconfiguration procedure suspends data access requests and waits for pending data access requests to complete. The reconfiguration is performed and the mapping is modified to reflect the new configuration. The node then updates the internal representation of the mapping and resumes issuing data access requests.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for characterising the surface of a sensitive layer deposited on the base of an optical prism, said surface comprising active zones whereof the optical thickness is capable of varying with time, said method using a technique based on analysis of the reflective variation of the prism-sensitive layer interface. The method consists in causing: a collimated light beam with an angle of incidence enabling total reflection on the prism base to penetrate into the prism, said beam illuminating a fixed part of the interface corresponding to the part to be characterised; scanning at an angle so as to locate an incidence whereon the reflectivity of the active zones is minimal; determining an angle of incidence optimal for sensitivity of detection of the active zones; adjusting the incidence to the optimal value; and measuring the reflectivity with an imaging system. The invention also concerns a device for implementing said method.

Abstract: A bandwidth-efficient concatenated trellis-coded modulation (TCM) decoder
which is realized by combining turbo codes having an advantage of coping
effectively with a fading channel with TCM having an advantage of bandwidth
efficiency, and a decoding method thereof are provided. A conventional TCM
method has high bandwidth efficiency suitable for transmitting information at high
speed. However, it is very sensitive to InterSymbol interference (ISI) so it is
usually applied to a wire communication system rather than to a wireless
communication system. A turbo code method is an error correction encoding
method showing steadiness in a channel having severe ISI and having an
excellent error correction ability, but has drawbacks of low data transmission rate
and low bandwidth efficiency due to a low code rate. Bandwidth-efficient
concatenated TCM is provided for enhancing the steadiness against ISI and
improving power and bandwidth efficiency by applying the turbo code method to a
TCM having a code rate of m/(m+1) to compensate for the drawbacks of the
conventional TCM and turbo codes. A newly provided decoding method in
bandwidth-efficient concatenated TCM uses a SOVA algorithm, thereby reducing
decoder complexity and path memory. In addition, bandwidth-efficient
concatenated TCM encoder and decoder are provided such to have parallel
transition, thereby reducing the complexity of the bandwidth-efficient concatenated
TCM decoder. Therefore, the Bandwidth-efficient concatenated TCM is applied to
a high speed wireless communication system and can increase bandwidth
efficiency and coding gain.
