Abstract: The apparatus is a gas filled ultraviolet generating lamp (10) for use as a liquid purifier. The lamp (10) is powered by high voltage AC, but has no metallic electrode within or in contact with the gas enclosure which is constructed as two concentric quartz cylinders (16, 20) sealed together at their ends, with the gas fill between the cylinders. Cooling liquid is pumped through the volume (14) inside the inner quartz cylinder (16), where an electrically conductive pipe (12) spaced from the inner cylinder (16) is used to supply the cooling liquid and act as the high voltage electrode. The gas enclosure (18) is enclosed within but spaced from a metal housing (28) which is connected to operate as the ground electrode of the circuit and through which the treated fluid flows. Thus, the electrical circuit is from the central pipe (12), and through the cooling liquid, the gas enclosure (18), the treated liquid on the outside of the outer quartz cylinder (20), and to the housing (28). The high voltage electrode (12) is electrically isolated from the source of cooling liquid by a length of insulated hose which also supplies the cooling liquid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing the sole structure of a shoe, especially a working and safety shoe, and for fixing it to the upper structure (1). A working shoe is normally worn all day long, and thus the feet will start perspiring. Moisture cannot escape from the inside of the shoe. Sole structures are known, in which ventilation has been provided between the inside and the outside of the shoe through a perforated insole, a vapour-permeable membrane and holes in the tread of the sole structure. The manufacture of such shoes is complex and expensive. In accordance with the invention, a breathable sole structure with a straightforward design can be made by direct injection moulding and can be fixed permanently and tightly to the upper structure. In this construction, the honeycomb (8) is fixed to the insole (2) of the upper structure (1) and the mould (30) known per se for the sole structure (4), having pins extending parallel to the sole structure in its side walls, is closed and direct injection moulding is performed. The pins are adapted to extend into close contact with the side walls of the honeycomb (8) in order to provide air vents (9) between the honeycomb and the outside atmosphere. The sole structure is fixed directly to the upper structure. The invention also relates to the mould for carrying out the method.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'attribution de longueurs de paquets optimales dans un système de communication à vitesse variable capable de transmettre des données à une vitesse données parmi une pluralité de vitesses de transmission de données. Les longueurs de paquets relatives aux vitesses de transmission de données sont sélectionnées de façon à obtenir une vitesse maximale de capacité de traitement tout en suivant les critères d'équité. On peut obtenir les critères d'équité en limitant la longueur du paquet attribuée à chaque vitesse de transmission de données par rapport à une plage de valeurs, ou Limin ≤ L¿i? ≤ Li?max¿. Les longueurs de paquets pour toutes les vitesses de transmission de données sont d'abord initialisées aux longueurs de paquets maximales pour ces vitesses de transmission de données. Puis, pour chaque vitesse de transmission de données, on détermine si une autre attribution de paquets de données donnerait lieu à une plus grande vitesse de capacité de traitement. Si tel est la cas, la longueur du paquet pour cette vitesse de transmission de données est alors réattribuée, et la vitesse de capacité de traitement, ainsi que les attributions des longueurs de paquets remises à jour, est recalculée. Le procédé se répète pour chaque vitesse de transmission de données jusqu'à ce que toutes le vitesses aient été prises en compte. La vitesse de capacité de traitement peut être calculée à l'aide d'un modèle probabiliste ou d'un modèle déterministe.

Abstract: A tip (16) for a liquefaction surgical handpiece is described. The tip uses at least two lumens. One lumen (29) is used for aspiration and another, smaller lumen (30) is used to inject heated surgical fluid for liquefying a cataractous lens. The termination (27) of the distal portion (30 @ ) of the injection lumen terminates just inside the termination (31) of the distal portion (28 @ ) of the aspiration lumen so that heated fluid escaping the injection lumen is reflected off of the internal wall (33) of the aspiration lumen prior to entering the eye. Such an arrangement prevents the injected fluid from directly entering the eye. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a mechanism for enabling memory allocation operations to be deterministic. According to the invention, determinism is achieved by first pre-allocating a contiguous memory space, and then using that memory space to perform subsequent memory allocation operations. Because the subsequent memory allocation operations are performed using memory space that has already been allocated, it is ensured that the allocation operations will not trigger a garbage collection operation. Also, because the pre-allocated memory space is contiguous, there will be no fragmentation concerns. Thus, the present invention eliminates the two major causes of non-constant allocation times. By doing so, the present invention makes it possible to achieve determinism in a dynamic memory allocation system.
