Patent CA-2269874-C (CA)
Title: Procede et appareil pour masquer les temps d'attente dans un systeme interactif de diffusion d'informations
Inventor: COLE BROOKS
IPC: H04N21/438
Filed: 1997-10-24
Granted: 2006-05-23
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé (200) et à un appareil permettant de masquer les temps d'attente dans un système interactif de diffusion d'informations (100). Ledit appareil comporte un boîtier de raccordement (108) qui émet des demandes d'informations à destination d'un serveur (102) et reçoit de ce dernier lesdites informations. Ces informations sont généralement visualisées sur un poste de télévision (110) classique, couplé au boîtier de raccordement qui contient une unité centrale de traitement (122) et un décodeur (130) de trains de données, programmé de manière à mettre en oeuvre ledit procédé. Lors de l'exécution de certaines fonctions sélectionnées par un abonné, habituellement au moyen d'une unité de commande à distance (112), ledit procédé extrait (205) une image préétablie de la mémoire et effectue un fondu (206) faisant passer de l'image couramment visualisée à une image préétablie, par exemple un écran blanc. Simultanément, le son courant se fond également à un son préétabli, par exemple, un son nul. Le décodeur à l'intérieur du boîtier de raccordement est remis à zéro (210). Finalement, le boîtier de raccordement effectue un fondu (214) faisant passer de l'image préétablie au nouveau train de données vidéo décodées et du son préétabli au nouveau train de données sonores.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de dessalement destiné à éliminer des solides dissous de l'eau de mer ou de l'eau saumâtre. Ce dispositif de dessalement (10) comprend un boîtier (12) dans lequel une pompe (14), entraînée par un moteur (16), pompe sous pression de l'eau de mer ou de l'eau saumâtre. Une cartouche de dessalement (76), située à l'intérieur de ce boîtier (12), comprend un matériau semi-perméable qui sert de membrane d'osmose inverse et permet de séparer le perméat de l'eau de mer ou de l'eau saumâtre. Les solides dissous dans l'eau saumâtre ou dans l'eau de mer sont retenus dans les passages destinés à retenir le sel de la cartouche (76). Trois bobines électriques (94, 96, et 98), encastrées dans les parois du boîtier (12), entourent cette cartouche (76). Ces bobines sont alimentées en courant par une source d'alimentation (112), qui est de préférence une alimentation triphasée de 50 Hertz, 380 Volts. Ces bobines sont également reliées à un dispositif d'entraînement à courant alternatif et à fréquence ajustable (110), lui-même reliée au moteur (16). Les bobines (94, 96, et 98) imposent un champ magnétique à l'eau de mer ou à l'eau saumâtre dans les passages destinés à retenir à retenir le sel, ce qui permet d'augmenter la vitesse à laquelle l'eau traverse la membrane d'osmose inverse, et empêche tout colmatage de cette membrane.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for accurately determining the presence of voltage at capacitive test points and for determining the phase angle relationship between two capacitive points. The detection of the presence of the voltage at the capacitive test points is independent of the voltage range in the systems, independent of the contamination or defects that may occur in the capacitive test point systems. The phase angle relationship is determined based on the actual phase angle difference between the voltage waveforms at the capacitive test points independent of the capacitive divider ratio difference and the capacitive test point voltage accuracy.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un système de microinjection (198) est pourvu d'un dispositif (10) pouvant contenir des formes sèches de réactifs médicaux tels que des vaccins, et des hormones, sous forme de monodoses. On met à l'intérieur d'une chambre unique (14) un lit de réactif sec (15) contre un élément compressif (16) préservant al compacité du lit (15). Le principe de fonctionnement est de faire couler le diluant (190) dans la chambre (14) de façon à emporter le réactif hors de la chambre (14) sous forme fluide. Pour les réalisations retenues, le fluide (190) emportant le réactif est directement débité de la chambre via une aiguille (24). L'invention concerne également des distributeurs de diluant (100), intégrés ou à monter, servant à fournir un volume approprié de diluant (190) dans la chambre des réactifs (14). L'invention permet ainsi de conserver sous forme sèche des médicaments, sans risque dans le cas des formulations instables. Dans le cas des médicaments injectables, on peut les obtenir quasiment instantanément sous forme fluide, simplement en libérant le diluant dans la chambre, le lit de réactif passant en solution ou en suspension, le reste du réactif étant maintenu compact en permanence. Le fluide obtenu (199), qui renferme une seule dose du réactif, s'administre alors directement au patient, de préférence sans mesurer la forme fluide (199).
