Abstract: A rotary offset printing machine has print cylinders (4) that have a coating of a colour carrying material and these are in contact with elastomer cylinders (3). The surfaces are cleaned by a process that removes all particles from the print relief pattern on the surfaces. This process has cleaning stations (7,8) in which a cleaning fluid is directed at the surface along the length. Each station has high pressure spray nozzles supplied by a combined pumping and suction system. The spray heads are located in an enclosure to prevent dispersion of the fluid.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a nickel active material, nickel hydroxide particles coated with cobalt hydroxide are put on the mesh disk 4 of the fluidized granulator 1. Then, hot air is continuously supplied from outside through the hot air inlet 5, while air inside the fluidized granulator 5 is continuously emitted through the air outlet 8. At the same time, the nickel hydroxide particles are stirred with the stirring fan 3 and further dispersed by a hot air current. In this condition, an alkali aqueous solution is sprayed on the nickel hydroxide particles through the spray nozzle 7 by the pump 9. After the spray, the nickel hydroxide particles are further stirred in hot air so as to complete an alkali heat treatment.

Abstract: A PCMCIA card comprises a plurality of I/O functions. Each has an interrupt signal, but the card has only one interrupt request (IREQ) line. The card is provided with an interrupt status register (ISR) to receive the interrupt signals from each of the I/O functions. This ISR allows software to determine the function that signalled the interrupt. The card is also provided with interrupt control logic (ICL) that is responsive to the interrupt status of ISR.

Title: Perfectionnements relatifs a la mesure de distance par echo d'impulsion
Inventor: FELL ROGER
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 1996-02-01
Abstract: Cette invention concerne la mesure de distance par écho d'impulsion et elle traite tout particulièrement d'un procédé et d'un appareil permettant le calcul d'une distance au moyen de la capture de multiple signaux réfléchis émanant d'un signal donné d'impulsion. Du fait que de nombreux signaux réfléchis sont captés, et non pas seulement l'écho primaire, les retards internes, qui pourraient sinon être à l'origine d'erreurs systématiques, peuvent être simplement éliminés et les nombreuses lectures obtenues peuvent servir de contrôles d'auto-diagnostic du système, de même qu'elles peuvent permettre l'élimination d'informations fallacieuses et assurer une mesure de précision de la distance. Ce procédé est particulièrement intéressant car il rend possible la mesure de très courtes distances entre le capteur et la cible.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'affectation adaptative des canaux dans un système de communication (220) multiporteuse à plusieurs intervalles de temps. Pour ce procédé et ce système, on choisit dans un ensemble N de canaux de communication d'une liaison (300, 330) un sous-ensemble M moins important de canaux. Pendant le déroulement des communications sur la liaison (300, 330), on procède périodiquement à des mesures de qualité du signal (C/I) des canaux du sous-ensemble M de canaux, et des mesures d'interférences (I) entre co-canaux de l'ensemble des N canaux. Les mesures C/I et I servent ensuite à reconfigurer le sous ensemble de M canaux de façon à réduire le niveau d'interférences entre co-canaux de la liaison (300, 330).

Abstract: The apparatus and method of the invention relates to the
formation of ducts or passageways, referred to as ducts
underground by using existing lengths of plant (2) such as pipes,
cables or wires, or a length of plant laid in predetermined
position as a guidance or reference for the drill head (4) used to
form the duct or passageway as it passes through the ground.
The plant is used to generate an electromagnetic field which is
sensed by at least one electromagnetic field sensor (10,12) mounted in
the drill head, said sensor rotated to allow comparison of
signals and the distance of the drill head from the plant to be
calculated. Other sensors can also be provided to determine
other positional characteristics of the drill head with respect
to the plant. This allows the duct to be formed with the
avoidance of potentially hazardous plant and/or along a path
which is determined with reference to the plant. The apparatus
can also be used as a guidance means without the drill to pass
along existing passageways and indicate the path of the same
using the same operating procedure.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus with intermittent receiving
for receiving a TDMA SIG is disclosed. The receiving
apparatus receives a FRQ reference SIG to control a voltage
controlled OSC for generating a system clock and receives a
TDMA synchronizing SIG to control the phase of a TDMA
timing SIG to establish the reference FRQ synchronizing and
the TDMA synchronizing. To save a power consumption in the
sleep interval during the intermittent receiving, it is
stopped to supply a supply power to a d/a converter
supplied with the FRQ control data to supply a FRQ control
voltage to the voltage controlled OSC. Just before an
intermittent receiving interval, that is, the end of the
sleep mode, the supply power to the d/a converter is
supplied and the TDMA timing is compensated by calculation
from the sleeping interval and the FRQ of the
self-oscillation of the voltage controlled OSC. The TDMA
timing may be not compensated but receives the TDMA
synchronizing SIG to control the TDMA synchronizing if the
phase difference in the TDMA timing is within the range of
the correlator. The FRQ reference SIG may be received to
compensate the FRQ and phase of the system clock and the
TDMA synchronizing timing may be compensated by calculation
from the sleeping interval and the FRQ of the self-oscillation
of the voltage controlled OSC.
