Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé en une seule étape et un appareil pour la production d'une maille métallique expansée à partir d'une bande métallique déformable, notamment une bande de plomb ou d'alliage de plomb que l'on utilise dans la fabrication d'un accumulateur au plomb-acide. L'appareil comprend une paire de rouleaux opposés (116, 118), chacun ayant une pluralité de disques espacés (122, 124) ayant des parois latérales opposées et des surfaces d'outil périphériques, espacées de manière égale et convexes en alternance avec des surfaces sensiblement plates. Le disque présente des entailles radiales ménagées dans les parois latérales opposées des surfaces plates et périphériques en alternance. Les surfaces périphériques des rouleaux opposés sont conçues de manière à interagir sur une bande déformable intermédiaire afin de fendre et de former des segments de câble convexes et des noeuds en alternance dans ladite bande par intermaillage desdites surfaces d'outil formées. Le procédé consiste à fendre et former des rangées transversales de segments de câble allongés et convexes déformés et sortant de la bande plate, dont les segments de câble adjacents par les côtés s'étendent en regard de la bande plate, les rangées latérales séparées par des segments fendus en alternance retenus dans le plan de la bande définissant des noeuds s'étendant latéralement à travers la bande.

Title: Bandwidth allocation method and apparatus
Inventor: MACRIDIS PHILIP
IPC: H04W76/06
Filed: 1997-12-04
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a mobile terminal (2) on which different communications applications (4a to 4d) may be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications (4a to 4d) via a satellite (12) to a network management centre (18) which provides different service adaptors (20a to 20d) which adapt the calls to different types of service provided over terrestrial networks (22), such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied during the call according to demand either from the relevant application (4) or from the network management centre (18). Multiple calls may be connected concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call.  Efficient use is thereby made of the limited bandwidth available over the satellite (12), according to the instantaneous bandwidth requirements of different applications (4). For real-time calls requiring multiple slots per frame in a TDMA channel, the slots are mutually spaced apart to reduce delay.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'une méthode et d'un appareil qui permettent d'enregistrer des données sur un support d'enregistrement optique. Dans cette méthode, un repère ou un espace sont formés au moyen d'une forme d'onde d'enregistrement qui présente une configuration d'effacement qui comprend une impulsion prédéterminée dont le niveau haut est plus élevé qu'un niveau de puissance d'effacement et dont le niveau bas est plus faible que le niveau de puissance d'effacement. Par conséquent, il est possible d'empêcher la déformation du repère et d'améliorer sa forme, ce qui résulte en une amélioration des caractéristiques d'enregistrement et de reproduction.

Abstract: This invention provides a validating device for validating at least one dimension of a part as being at least a minimum magnitude. It may also validate a dimension of a part as being no greater than a maximum magnitude or between a minimum magnitude and maximum magnitude. The validating device includes a frame having a cavity and employs a plunger and a sensor. One portion of the plunger engages the part and another portion activates the sensor. When the sensor activates, it indicates that the dimension of the part is at least the minimum magnitude. The cavity for receiving the part may be sized to correspond with maximum magnitudes for the same dimension and/or other dimensions for the part such that the part cannot fit in the cavity if a dimension exceeds its maximum magnitude and therefore the sensor cannot be activated and the part cannot be validated.
