Patent EP-1367325-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PARSONS DOUGLAS A
IPC: F02C7/26
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: A fuel supply control system for a gas turbine 20 includes a plurality of
solenoid valves 52,54,55,56. The solenoid valves are energized in a timing
sequence with a phase relationship designed to achieve a desired fuel flow.
In one example, one solenoid valve 52 is associated with a primary portion 60
of a fuel manifold 44 while at least two other solenoids 54,55,56 are
associated with a secondary portion 62 of the manifold 44. A controller 32
that energizes the solenoids 52,54,55,56 to achieve the desired fuel flow can
receive feedback information regarding turbine performance to make
adjustments to the solenoid operation to bring the turbine performance closer
to a desired level.

Title: Treatment of a tunnel barrier layer
Inventor: SHARMA MANISH
IPC: H01F10/32
Filed: 2003-10-13
Abstract: A tunnel barrier layer (6) is treated by forming overlayer on tunnel barrier layer, and irradiating tunnel barrier layer though overlayer with ultraviolet light (30). The light penetrates a thickness of the overlayer and is incident on a reactant in the tunnel barrier layer. It is operative to activate the reactant so that the reactant reacts with a material of the barrier layer and transforms the material into non-conductive material.

IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2003-02-24
Abstract: A method for real-time replication of a flow of data being exchanged between a
producer and a consumer comprises a succession of steps. A message is produced
from the data flow coming from the producer and en-queued on a producer queue. The
message is replicated on a first and on a second service queue. The message is pulled
of the first service queue to a first transmitter means, and of the second service queue
to a second transmitter means. The message of the first service queue is transferred via
the first transmitter means to a first receiver means through a first connection means.
The message of the second service queue is transferred via the second transmitter
means to a second receiver means through a second connection means.
     en-queuing the message of the first receiver means to a consumer queue,   de-queuing the message from the consumer queue to the consumer,   
In case of a failure of the first transmitter or the first receiver or the first connection
means, the message of the second receiver means is en-queued to the consumer
queue of the consumer.
     The method is implemented through a specific software working in the background
called a daemon.

Abstract: The procedure consists of transferring the manure to storage tanks to flocculate and concentrate suspended matter. Each tank has a skimmer for concentrating phosphorous in aqueous form, and a potassium extractor to recover and remove the potassium after liquefying. The hydro-injectors, skimmers and extractors are mounted on floats keeping them on the surface of the manure. The procedure consists of transferring the manure to storage tanks (1) in which it can be subjected to the action of one or more hydroinjectors (2) to flocculate and concentrate suspended matter, and especially potassium in solid form, on the surface. Each tank has one or more skimmers (3) for concentrating the phosphorous in aqueous form, and one or more potassium extractors (4) to recover and remove the potassium after liquefying it. The hydro-injectors, skimmers and extractors are mounted on floats (6) that keep them on the surface of the manure, the floats being immobilized by ropes, cables or other systems holding them to the base of the tank. The hydro-injectors are powered by turbines and create currents in the manure by means of injected air and a venturi system to provide oxygenation and flocculation of suspended organic and mineral matter. The tank also has a submerged pump for discharging liquid, actuated by a level sensor.

Title: Careful impotence treatment apparatus
Inventor: FORSELL PETER
IPC: A61F5/41
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus includes an elongate adjustable constriction member extending in a loop around a male patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof. An adjustment device adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop to temporarily constrict the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof to restrict the penile exit blood flow to achieve erection. A layer of a soft viscoelastic material is applied on the constriction member such that it is located between the constriction member and the patient's penile tissue or the prolongation thereof at least along a portion of the constriction member to protect the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof from being eroded by the constriction member. The layer has an inwardly directed radial extension in the loop such that, when the adjustment device is operated to decrease the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop, the soft layer is forced to expand radially inwardly in the loop causing a corresponding increased constriction of the penile tissue or the prolongation thereof.

Title: Fixation pour bouteille de distributeur
Inventor: BACON RAYMOND JOHN
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2003-03-17
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un distributeur (1) qui comprend une bouteille (2) et un corps (3). La bouteille est constituée par une extrusion d'aluminium comportant une valve sertie dans son ouverture, la valve ayant un bec de sortie (4). La zone sertie (5) de la bouteille entourant la valve a un diamètre inférieur à celui de la bouteille sur la partie principale (6) de sa longueur. Le corps du distributeur possède une pièce buccale (11) pourvue d'un couvercle pivotant (12) relié par entraînement à une came (13). Cette came s'appuie sur le côté inférieur d'un élément de jonction (14), dans une douille (15) duquel s'adapte le bec (4). Un mécanisme (16) de libération de doses actionné par la respiration est prévu. Le corps du distributeur possède une section tubulaire (7) destinée à recevoir la zone inférieure à col (5) de la bouteille. La section tubulaire et la partie principale de la bouteille ont le même diamètre extérieur. Une étiquette en papier imprimée (21) recouverte d'un auto-adhésif est enroulé autour du joint situé entre le corps et la bouteille du distributeur pour assembler la bouteille audit corps dans une position telle que, lors de l'ouverture du couvercle, une dose est distribuée par la came (13) en soulevant l'élément de jonction et en abaissant le bec. Afin d'établir un positionnement correct de la bouteille par rapport au corps, avant de coller l'étiquette, on applique une force prédéterminée F pour s'assurer que le bec est complètement abaissé. Cette force amène la bouteille à libérer dans le mécanisme de libération une dose, qui habituellement est une dose mesurée. Ainsi, dans cette position de la bouteille dans le corps, lors de l'ouverture du couvercle pour utilisation, une autre dose va être libérée. Sans relâcher cette force, on applique l'étiquette sur la bouteille et sur le corps, les fixant ainsi dans leur position relative.

Abstract: Even in the case of coding the input image by dividing into tiles, a fine image quality
adjustment is possible based on the characteristic of each tile. The input image signal is
transformed to the coded data through the tile dividing unit 102, the wavelet transforming unit
103, and the entropy coding unit 106, and is stored in the code memory 107. In parallel to this
processing, the distortion calculating unit 108 calculates the distortion in each coding pass of
each code block, and stores it in the distortion memory 109. On the other hand, the complex
tile deciding unit 111 decides whether a particular tile is the complex tile or not. The tile
classifying memory 112 stores the decision output. A distortion data outputted from the
distortion memory 109 is outputted to the multiplier 110, the multiplier 110 multiplies the
distortion data by the weight coefficient selected by the weight coefficient selecting unit 113.
The weighted distortion of each coding pass is output to the rate controlling unit 114, the rate
controlling unit 114 executes code amount control of coded data.
