Abstract: A cylindrical filter is formed of stacked microfine conjugate fibers comprising a higher melting point component and a lower melting point component, each obtained by a melt-blow spinning process, the fiber diameter of the conjugate fibers decreasing across the thickness of the filter and in the direction of passage of a fluid to be filtered, and the contact points of the conjugate fibers being melt-adhered by the lower melting point component. 
     This cylindrical filter is produced by a process which comprises subjecting a higher melting point component and a lower melting point component, each consisting of a fiber-forming thermoplastic polymer, to conjugate melt-blow spinning so that the fiber diameter varies during the spinning; winding up and stacking the fibers onto a core to form a cylindrical shape on the core with the fibre diameter decreasing across the width of the stack in the direction of flow of liquid through the filter; heat-treating the resulting web at a temperature above the melting point of the lower melting point component and below the melting point of the higher melting point component, before, at the time of or after the winding-up, and drawing out the core.

Abstract: Procédé de transport de documents importants d'un premier endroit vers un second endroit dans une mallette protégée contre les effractions et pourvue d'un dispositif qui, lorsqu'il est déclenché, agit sur les objets de valeur dans la mallette, par exemple en les détériorant à l'aide d'un colorant, le déclenchement étant commandé par un mécanisme minuterie dans la mallette. Selon ce procédé, l'expéditeur se trouvant au premier endroit, après avoir placé les objets de valeur dans la mallette, verrouille celle-ci et active le mécanisme à minuterie pour provoquer le déclenchement après un temps de transport donné si le mécanisme n'est pas désactivé. La mallette est ensuite transportée du premier endroit vers le second, le destinataire, se trouvant au second endroit désactive le mécanisme dans la mallette et l'ouvre ensuite. Les aspects distinctifs de ce procédé résident dans le fait qu'un code d'identification est calculé dans le premier endroit en fonction d'une clé secrète du destinataire, d'un algorithme et de données libres comprenant des données non fixées telles que des données de temps, le code calculé étant électroniquement mémorisé dans la mallette pour en effectuer le verrouillage, de préférence avec les données non fixées nécessaires pour calculer le code. En recevant la mallette, le destinataire calcule le code d'identification en fonction d'un code de destinataire fourni par celui-ci, de l'algorithme et des données libres comprenant les données non fixées. Une comparaison est effectuée dans la mallette entre le code mémorisé et le code ainsi calculé au second endroit, la correspondance entre les deux codes permettant de désactiver le mécanisme à minuterie et d'ouvrir la mallette sans produire la détérioration sus-mentionnée des objets qu'elle contient.

Title: Data transmission device and method for random access network having advanced collision resolution.
Inventor: JACQUET PHILIPPE
IPC: H04L12/413
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: A data processing station wherein a network interface (I; RE) monitors the transmission channel and generates event signals, e.g. 'transmission start', 'collision detected' and 'channel back to vacant condition'. If a collision occurs in local transmission, transmission is maintained with a collision indication for at least one period (C) before being cut off. An observation register (RO) receives the event signals and responds by generating a channel observation signal which may be 'transmission OK', 'collision slot' and 'vacant slot'. When transmission of a fresh data packet is requested, a first transmission may or may not be attempted (normal mode) depending on the condition of the observation register. If the attempt is unsuccessful (transmission refused or collision), a suitably reset mechanism for incrementing/decrementing a common integer (E) determines the right to transmit, so that the response to a request for the transmission of a fresh data packet is made regardless of the channel's operating record, upstream from the last normal mode to be executed.

Abstract: Une pompe (1) comprend un ensemble soupape pneumatique (98) possédant une chambre (105) alimentée en air comprimé par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit d'entrée. A l'intérieur de la chambre (105) se trouve une soupape (109) comprenant une chambre (111) divisée en deux compartiments séparés (112, 113) par une membrane flexible (114). La membrane (114) est sollicitée vers le compartiment (112) par un ressort (115) et supporte un piston (116) s'étendant depuis la chambre (111) et comportant une extrémité tronconique (117) destinée à venir en contact sélectivement avec la face (99) du siège et à empêcher l'air de circuler entre les chambres (105, 90). Deux passages (119, 120) de purge d'air s'étendent respectivement depuis la chambre (90) et le compartiment (113) vers l'atmosphère, de façon à permettre un retour graduel à la pression atmosphérique quand l'alimentation en air comprimé de la chambre et du compartiment respectif est discontinue. Un autre passage de purge (121) s'étend à travers la membrane (114), de façon à assurer un équilibrage graduel de la pression dans les deux compartiments (112, 113), de telle manière que la membrane retournera ensuite à sa position de sollicitation originale. Une ouverture (125) s'étend entre le compartiment (112) et la chambre (91), de façon à assurer une communication fluide entre ces derniers. L'ouverture (125) est couverte sélectivement par un mécanisme de commutation (126) empêchant la traversée d'un écoulement de fluide. Le mécanisme de commutation (126) ouvre sélectivement l'ensemble soupape (98) sous l'effet du liquide remplissant le puisard (6) et élevant le flotteur (42) à une position opérationnelle. Ceci permet à l'air comprimé de mettre le puisard (6) sous pression et d'en évacuer le fluide par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit de sortie (22).

Abstract: The sensor head (1) is provided for a fibre-optic current measuring device. It has a twisted, low-birefringent (double-refracting) LB-fibre (14) which is guided around a current conductor (2) and serves to guide polarised light. With the LB-fibre (14) the Faraday rotation of the polarised light caused by the magnetic field (H) of the current (J) to be measured is detected. The LB-fibre (14) is spliced at its two ends in each case to one of two polarisation-maintaining, light-guiding HB-fibres (6, 7), one (6) of which feeds the polarised light. The two HB-fibres (6, 7) are in each case mounted next to the two splicing points (19, 20) while absorbing the torsional force caused by twisting the LB-fibre (14). The sensor head (1) is characterised by high measuring accuracy despite having a simple and robust construction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1. The tilt of the slide, caused by eccentric loading, on the mechanical presses is taken into account upon working-in of the die, the presses not being available from time to time for production tasks. Consequently, the dies are often worked in on a hydraulic work-in press. When using the dies on the production presses, time-consuming correction work is often still required as a result of the different load-dependent tilt of the slide. By virtue of the novel method, the tilting behaviour of production presses with different spring rates is intended to be simulated on a hydraulic work-in press. 2.2. The hydraulic work-in press contains at least four counter-retaining cylinders which act counter to the operating movement of the slide. In order to simulate the load-dependent tilt of the slide of mechanical presses, the oil pressure in the counter-retaining cylinders is regulated such that the slide is in each case counteracted at least in the operating region - starting from the tilt of the slide determined - by so much force that the tilts of the slide in the x-axis and y-axis are restricted to values which are given by parameterisable tilting characteristics Mx = f1 (kx) and My = f2 (ky). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compressed air is introduced into a cylinder chamber 64 to displace a piston 20 closely to a target position. Then, a ball screw shaft 22 is rotated about its own axis by an electric motor 26 to inch the piston 20 to the target position. Upon arrival of the piston 20 at the target position, the ball screw shaft 22 is stopped by a brake mechanism to hold the piston 20 accurately in the target position. The drive shaft 28 of the electric motor 26 extends parallel to the ball screw shaft 22, thus reducing the entire length of a servo cylinder apparatus 10. Solenoid-operated directional control valves 14, 34 for supplying compressed air to the cylinder chamber 64 and the brake mechanism are coupled integrally to a cylinder assembly, so that pipes are shortened for allowing the piston 20 to be displaced and stopped quickly and accurately.
