Patent EP-1300712-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HEFTMAN GEORGE
IPC: F21V7/00
Filed: 2002-10-07
Abstract: An optical system includes conical reflectors (32)
axially aligned back to back with a xenon tube (35)
located in the throat (36) formed by their truncated
apices, for emitting light in two opposite directions.
Each reflector (32) is enclosed by a transparent cover
(33) that includes a central lens (37) for evening out
axial light-distribution. Alternatively, a xenon tube
(15) may be located between the apices of two mutually-inverted
conical reflectors (16,17) at right angles to
their common axis (18) for emitting light from their
external reflective surfaces throughout 360 degrees. As
further alternatives, a single conical or pyramidal
reflector (3,10) may be used with a LED (1) as light
source, and the systems may be used for reception of
light.

Abstract: A means for determining long-term discharge
performance, particularly in a lithium/silver vanadium
oxide cell, by analyzing and characterizing the initial
pulse voltage waveform, is described. The relationship
between the initial P1 (P min ) voltage drop and the extent
of that initial voltage drop with P last  (the final voltage
under load) is a reliable indication of long-term
discharge performance.

Title: Dispositif pour l'analyse d'un signal audio concernant des informations de rythme de ce signal a l'aide d'une fonction d'auto-correlation
Inventor: HERRE JUERGEN
IPC: G10H1/40

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif pour l'analyse d'un signal audio concernant des informations de rythme de ce signal audio à l'aide d'une fonction d'auto-corrélation (FAC). Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un banc de filtres servant à décomposer le signal audio en au moins deux signaux de sous-bande. Les signaux de sous-bande sont examinés (106a) à la recherche de périodicités au moyen d'une fonction d'auto-corrélation afin d'obtenir des informations brutes de rythme pour les deux signaux de sous-bande. Afin de réduire ou d'éliminer les ambiguïtés de la fonction d'auto-corrélation pour des signaux périodiques, les informations brutes de rythme sont à nouveau traitées (121) afin d'obtenir des informations brutes de rythme retraitées pour le signal de sous-bande. Les informations de rythme du signal audio sont déterminées (122) sur la base des informations brutes de rythme retraitées. Grâce au traitement FAC complémentaire par sous-bande, les ambiguïtés FAC sont éliminées dès l'endroit où elles apparaissent ou des parties de rythme, qu'un traitement par fonction d'auto-corrélation ne fournit normalement pas, sont ajoutées pour des tempos doubles. On obtient ainsi comme résultat une détermination plus robuste des informations de rythme du signal audio.

Abstract: An equivalent to the spatial separation either side of a nominal median plane that is inherent in a bimorph (with one piezoelectric layer on one side, and the second on the other side of the plane) is attained by structurally shaping the cross-section of a simple, single piezoelectric layer ( 11 ) such that it has a multiplicity of piezoelectric portions arranged in two generally-planar groups one either side of a median plane, so that any dimension change undergone by a portion on one side of that plane will tend to bend the whole device in the opposite direction to the same sense dimension change undergone by a portion on the other side of that plane. The simple, single layer acts as though it were a bimorph if elongate and beam-like, bending along its length, one end moving up/down, or back/forth, relative to the other but with any need for an internal, electrode.

IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for microfabricating precision patterns of biopolymers onto solid substrates by means of laser transfer are disclosed. The method involves the use of ultrafast laser pulses for transferring target biopolymer material, dimensioned according to the focal spot of the laser, from one surface of a transparent support onto the opposite positioned surface of receiving substrate. Repeating the transfer process at different target and substrate positions results in the production of extended patterns such as arrays of features or localized coatings. The apparatus is designed to produce the patters of biopolymers on solid substrates in an automated fashion. The method and the apparatus are of particular utility in producing devices for biological and biochemical assay systems such as biosensors and microarrays.

Abstract: A constant velocity joint has outer and inner joint members formed with aligned ball grooves. A torque-transmitting ball is contained in each set of grooves and is captured within windows of a cage disposed between the joint members. The radial groove profile provides a large operating joint angle but with a relatively low Rx ratio. At zero joint angle the balls are positioned in a ball center plane and define a ball center radius (BCR) in the ball center plane. As the joint angulates, the balls roll on the grooves and, while maintained in a ball plane, are displaced radially relative to the ball center radius (BCR). Rx=BCR/x, which is the ball displacement. The groove profile includes a straight section coupled with a double arc or polynomial curved section which attains high joint angle at a relatively low Rx ratio.
