Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de conception d'un système de batterie redox à circulation constante. La baisse d'efficacité du système pendant la charge/décharge, imputable à la faiblesse de la puissance générée ou de la puissance de charge, est empêchée sans nécessité d'utiliser un accumulateur au plomb, ce qui améliore le rendement du système. Un bloc-électrogène, dont la production d'énergie varie de façon irrégulière, est associé à une batterie redox à circulation constante pour stabiliser la production d'énergie. La valeur moyenne et l'écart-type de la répartition de la puissance de sortie de la batterie relativement à la production d'énergie stabilisée sont déterminés. Au moins la puissance nominale de la batterie ou celle d'un convertisseur qui convertit la puissance de sortie de la batterie est déterminée sur la base dudit écart-type.

Abstract: To provide comprehensive, i.e. rapid and sensitive, MS-MS analysis, the invention involves a time-nested separation, using two time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers 13 and 15. Parent ions are separated in a slow and long TOF1 13, operating at a low ion energy (1 to 100eV), and fragment ions are mass analysed in a fast and short TOF2 15, operating at a much higher keV energy. A low energy fragmentation (CID) cell 14 between TOF1 and TOF2 is tailored to accelerate fragmentation and dampening steps by shortening the cell and employing a higher collision gas pressure. Since separation in TOF1 takes milliseconds and mass analysis in TOF2 takes microseconds, the invention provides comprehensive MS-MS analysis of multiple precursor ions per single ion pulse. Preferably the second time-of-flight mass analyser TOF2 is of the orthogonal acceleration type (oa-TOF).

Abstract: A pre-tensioner for pre-tensioning a safety belt such as a vehicle seat belt comprises a cylinder 1 defining a cavity and a gas supply 6 to move a piston 11 within the cylinder. A deformable bar or rod 18 extends through a bore 17 in the piston to terminate in a coil formed from a plurality of turns of the deformable rod or bar which extend beyond the end of the piston. Should the piston move by a sufficient distance, such as when there is slack in the seat belt, the extending turns will engage an end part 3 of the cylinder thus becoming compressed and absorbing energy (see figure 2). If the compression of the turns is not sufficient to terminate movement of the piston the ends 23 of the piston may deform lips 3 of the cylinder thus forcing the lips back. If sufficient force is applied to the seat belt the deformable rod may be drawn through the bore in the piston thus providing a further energy absorbing effect.

Abstract: Scheduler 304 performs scheduling such that the communication terminal apparatuses to transmit packets to are determined according to the order in CIR information output from demodulator 303, and determines the modulation schemes and coding rates of the packets. Command detector 305 detects an ARQ command transmitted from the communication terminal apparatus determined in scheduler 304, outputs an ACK/NACK signals to buffer 306, and outputs a SUSUPEND signal or a GIVEUP signal to scheduler 304. Scheduler 304 stops retransmission upon receiving a SUSPEND signal or a GIVEUP signal from command detector 305, and redoes the scheduling. Thus, it is possible to improve overall system throughput in a wireless communication system that performs packet transmission. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tapered waveguide improves insertion loss occurring at the slab/waveguide interface of an optical array waveguide grating (AWG). The tapered waveguide has two segments. The first segment decreases from a first thickness, nearest the slab of the AWG to a second thickness moving away from the slab. The second segment has a substantially constant or uniform thickness equal to the second thickness of the first segment. The second segment may also have a swallowtail shape comprising a forked end having two sidewalls tapered back towards the first segment. Light that would otherwise be lost at the slab/waveguide interface is instead captured by the tapered waveguide which laterally channels the light back into the waveguides thus mitigating insertion loss.
