Abstract: A method of measuring need of care and service in
elder care and care of the disabled for efficient
distribution of resources for need of care and service in
for example elder care and care of the disabled, wherein
available resources as full-year workers and current needs
of each person receiving care are registered, an 0 index
for the registered needs is determined for each person
receiving care and an evaluation is performed of the level
of dependence according to a predetermined scale, a PA
index is determined, which relates to a cost counted in the
number of full-year workers for the indirect care and
transport time, a B index is determined which relates to
the work load/full-year worker in relation to applied
resources, an average work load is calculated in an N
value, which is the total need in relation to available
resources, a recommended care resource/person receiving
care is calculated, and a recommended care resource/person
receiving care is applied.

Abstract: The method involves processing detected traffic data. The data are entered in a grid that is divided along the road w.r.t. the location (x). To determine a weighting function (g(x)), a weighting is defined for each location on the grid based on the traffic data. The weighting of a traffic datum is defined as being highest at the measuring location and decreasing as the distance form the measuring location increases. The traffic function along the grid is calculated for those locations for which no traffic data are available by equating the data with the nearest-lying data available and then multiplying with the weighting function. The average road sped or journey time is determined from the integral or sum of the values of the traffic function divided by the integral or sum of the values of the weighting function. An Independent claim is also included for a center for detecting the traffic situation.

Abstract: Le graphique montre le pourcentage de fraction de la puissance de mode fondamental présente dans les trous de revêtement de différentes fibres à bande interdite photonique (PFholes), en fonction de la longueur d'ondes, en microns, du mode fondamental ( lambda ). Les propriétés de deux groupes de fibres à bande interdite photonique sont également montrées. Le groupe supérieur de trois courbes illustre des modes de réalisation de l'invention avec  LAMBDA =0,75  mu m et d/ LAMBDA =0,6, 0,7 & 0,8 respectivement, où d représente le diamètre du trou et  LAMBDA  l'espacement des trous. Le groupe inférieur des courbes, lesquelles sont presque superposées les unes aux autres, illustre des propriétés de fibres à bande interdite photonique représentatives de la technique antérieure avec  LAMBDA =3,2  mu m et d/ LAMBDA =0,6, 0,7 & 0,8 respectivement. Le graphique met en évidence une amélioration considérable dans la puissance de mode présente dans les trous. Dans les courbes de la technique antérieure, la fraction de puissance de mode est généralement inférieure à 1 %, tandis que dans les modes de réalisation selon l'invention, on obtient des fibres à bande interdite photonique comprenant entre 10 et 40 % de la puissance de mode fondamental dans les trous. Généralement la fibre à bande interdite photonique devrait être structurée de manière que la longueur d'onde de la lumière guidée  lambda  > 2,2 LAMBDA . Pour les longueurs d'onde de télécommunications, cela implique que l'espacement des trous devrait être généralement inférieur par rapport à la technique antérieure, c'est-à-dire approximativement 1 mu m ou moins et que le diamètre des trous devrait être aussi grand que possible par rapport à l'espacement des trous, de préférence d/ LAMBDA  > 0,6.

Abstract: The optical fiber of this invention is an optical fiber,
which can generate white light that is adequately broadened
in wavelength and which can stabilize the polarized conditions.
The optical fiber of this invention generates, by means of
nonlinear phenomena, white light in the wavelength bands at
both sides of a pumping optical pulse that is input. The
optical fiber of this invention is formed by covering the
surroundings of a core (1) with a first cladding (2) and
covering the surroundings of the first cladding (2) with a
second cladding (3). The ratio (Δ2/Δ1) of the respective
specific refractive index differences Δ1 and Δ2 of the core
(1) and first cladding (2) with respect to the second cladding
(3) is set in the range, -0.4 to -0.85, the ratio of outer
diameter of the core (1) to the outer diameter of the first
cladding (2) is set in the range, 0.4 to 0.7, and the specific
refractive index difference Δ1 is set in the range, 0.6 to 1.2%.
The transmission loss of light in the vicinity of a wavelength
of 1.4µm is made less than or equal to 10dB/km. Stress-applying
parts (4), which apply stress to core (1), are provided inside
second cladding (3) so as to sandwich core (1) from both sides
to form a polarization-maintaining optical fiber and the
shortest distance between the stress-applying parts (4) is made 
2.3 times or more the mode field diameter for the wavelength
of the pumping optical pulse.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des générateurs d'énergie électrique ainsi que des procédés de production d'énergie dans un puits souterrain. Dans un mode de réalisation décrit, un fluide s'écoulant dans un conduit à fluide provoque le déplacement ou la vibration d'un élément, ce déplacement étant utilisé pour induire une contrainte dans un matériau piézo-électrique, provoquant ainsi la production d'électricité par ce matériau piézo-électrique. Il est possible d'utiliser divers moyens pour créer des turbulences dans l'écoulement de fluide, de manière à accroître ainsi le déplacement de l'élément, ce qui résulte en une sortie d'énergie accrue, à partir du générateur.

Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating and purifying an aqueous mixture that mainly consists of acetic acid, formic acid and high-boiling substances by extraction with a solvent in a cyclic process. The inventive method is characterized in that the flow of raffinate is fed to a solvent stripping column (11) with the major part of the water in order to remove the water from the cycle. The flow of extract is fed to a solvent recovery distillation column (8). In a first step, a mixture (A) that consists of water and solvent, is separated by overhead distillation. A mixture (B) that consists of acetic acid, formic acid and high-boiling substances is separated via a sump. Once the formic acid is removed in a column (29), mixture (B) is separated in an acetic acid distillation column to give pure acetic acid and high-boiling substances. Mixture (A) is fed to a phase separator and the aqueous phase is returned to the solvent stripping column (11) together with any residual portions of the solvent while the organic phase is returned to the extractor (8).

Abstract: L'amortisseur de chocs sensible à l'accélération présente un logement tubulaire (16) et un ensemble de piston (15) qui est disposé dans ledit logement et le divise en une chambre supérieure (13) et une chambre inférieure (12). Le piston (14) est relié à la roue d'un véhicule et le logement est relié au châssis du véhicule.

Selon l'invention, un orifice (48) est destiné à amener le flux du fluide de la chambre inférieure à la chambre supérieure lors d'une accélération de la roue en descente. Une masse anti-vibrations (46) amovible située dans l'ensemble du piston ouvre l'orifice pendant l'accélération de la roue du véhicule en descente afin d'augmenter l'écoulement entre les chambres. Une poche située en-dessous de la masse anti-vibrations applique une pression suffisante sur ladite masse en vue de la retenir dans une position d'orifice ouvert pendant l'écoulement du fluide, une fois que l'accélération a diminué. Une partie (99) en relief à diamètre élargie située à l'intérieur de la masse anti-vibrations minimise une performance incompatible des amortisseurs de chocs fabriqués en série.
