Abstract: L'invention concerne un comparateur comprenant au moins un premier dispositif de décision par phase (115, 117, 119, 121) couplé fonctionnellement à un second dispositif similaire (123), et des procédés de prise de décision au moyen du comparateur. Les premiers dispositifs de décision par phase reçoivent et choisissent parmi un certain nombres d'exemples d'un signal (A1-A16, B1-B16), ce qui produit des premiers signaux correspondants choisis par phase (C1, C2), et le second dispositif de décision par phase fonctionne pour recevoir et choisir parmi les premiers signaux choisis par phase, ce qui produit un second signal choisi par phase. Selon des modes de réalisation différents, les premiers dispositifs de décision par phase déterminent (220) indépendamment des temps de conclusion de décision (TA, TB) qui ne coïncident pas généralement, ou qui déterminent indépendamment (420) des temps de conclusion de décision (TAB, TAB') qui coïncident pratiquement, ou encore un des premiers dispositifs de décision par phase détermine (320) un moment de conclusion de décision commun (TAB) qui est communiqué (325) aux autres premiers dispositifs de décision par phase. Les moments de conclusion de décision respectifs déterminent le moment auquel les premiers signaux choisis par phase sont envoyés au second dispositif de décision par phase. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les premiers dispositifs de décision par phase reçoivent (500, 540) plusieurs exemples d'un signal, extraient des informations caractéristiques, y compris, par exemple, des informations de groupes de contexte (545) et un statut d'erreurs (555) et déterminent le caractère d'acceptation des signaux par détermination par exemple, du contexte approprié (550) des signaux et du meilleur statut d'erreurs (560) de ceux-ci par rapport à un seuil d'erreur prédéterminé. Puis, les exemples du signal à critères d'acceptation positifs peuvent être envoyés à un second dispositif de décision par phase.

Title: Urine drain assembly with tube clamp valve
Inventor: NEVILL DAN
IPC: A61F5/453
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: A drain assembly (14) for a fluid collection container (10) includes a housing (22) attached to the container and defining a cavity therewithin. A stop (42) is located within the cavity and is fixed relative to the housing. A switch (24) having a closure member formed thereon is mounted within the cavity for rotary movement relative to the housing. In a disclosed embodiment the switch has a tab (52) extending through the housing to facilitate rotation of the switch from outside the housing. A flexible, resilient tube (10) in fluid communication with the interior of the fluid collection container has a portion disposed within the cavity and extending between the stop and the closure member of the switch. The tube is configured so that fluid discharged from the lower end (33) of the tube is discharged through an opening (41) in a lower portion of the housing. When the switch is rotated in one direction, the tube is compressed between the stop and the closure member, thereby preventing fluid flow through the tube. When the switch is rotated in the opposite direction, the closure member rotates away from the stop so as to permit the tube to open, thereby permitting fluid flow to be discharged from the fluid collection container through the tube.

Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: A process is described for the co-production of maleic anhydride and at least one C4 compound selected from butane-1,4-diol, .gamma.-butyrolactone, and tetrahydrofuran in which maleic anhydride is produced by partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon feedstock selected from C4 hydrocarbons and benzene to yield a vaporous reaction effluent stream comprising maleic anhydride, water, unconverted hydrocarbon feedstock, and carbon oxides. A part of the maleic anhydride present in the vaporous reaction effluent stream is condensed to form a crude maleic anhydride stream and leave a residual vaporous stream containing residual amounts of maleic anhydride. Further maleic anhydride is absorbed from the residual vaporous stream by absorption in an organic solvent, water or an aqueous solution. Maleic anhydride is then recovered from the loaded liquid absportion medium. Said at least one C4 compound is produced by hydrogenation of a C4+ hydrogenation feedstock selected from maleic anhydride, maleic acid, dialkyl maleates, and mixtures of two or more thereof. The process is characterised in that material of the crude maleic anhydride stream is used as the C4+ hydrogenation feedstock or is used to prepare the C4+  hydrogenation feedstock.

Patent CA-2391706-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LANGRIDGE DAVE
IPC: H04J3/08
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: An important feature of communications networks is resilience in the event of failure. Conventional ring-configured networks use 100% bandwidth over provisioning so that in the event of failure of a fibre, a span which may be used to use the spare capacity on the same span and in the event of a total failure in a particular span of both working and protection capacity, it is possible to ring switch the data around the far side of the ring in order to provide total protection. However, 100% over provisioning of bandwidth in the network is expensive. By using up to half the protection bandwidth for working data and using span and ring switching together, it is possible to use some of the bandwidth capacity on the protection path and still retain a robust network configuration.

Title: Oscillating step drive for a bicycle
Inventor: KIELLAND PETER JOHANN
IPC: B62M1/36
Filed: 2003-01-13
Abstract: A quasi-rectilinear drive mechanism for a bicycle comprised of left and right crank arm and pedal assemblies, each of said crank arms driving a transverse crankshaft through left and right one-way clutch assemblies. The rider applies alternate pedal strokes to the crank arms, thereby inducing unidirectional forward rotation of said crankshaft and associated power transmission components too the rear wheel. To provide support for a standing rider during coasting as well as forcing synchronized, opposed pedal strokes, each crank arm is constrained to rotate within its forward quadrant by means of a cable and pulley. Said pulley is affixed by a swivel mount near the bicycle's steering head at an approximately 45-degree angle above the crankshaft's axis of rotation. A cable passing over said pulley is affixed at each end to one of the two pedals, thereby causing each pedal to lift its opposite-side crank assembly as it is depressed. The cable's length and pulley's location are configured such that cable tension provides a positive pedal stop at the top and bottom of each stroke. Embodiments may be retrofitted to conventional bicycles or incorporated into miniature step scooters.
