Abstract: A retrofit method for increasing production capacity of an ammonia plant having a front end including in series primary and secondary reformers and a shift converter for reacting a hydrocarbon feed, steam and air to form a make-up syngas stream comprising hydrogen and nitrogen at about design stoichiometry, and a synthesis loop wherein a recycle syngas stream is combined with the make-up gas to form a syngas feed to ammonia converters. The retrofit involves the installation of an air separation unit to supply oxygen and nitrogen streams. The oxygen is used to enrich air supplied to the secondary reformer and increase the hydrogen content of the make-up gas substantially above the design stoichiometry and capacity. The nitrogen stream is supplied to the synthesis loop to obtain a desired hydrogen to nitrogen ratio in the syngas feed to the ammonia converters and compensate for the excess hydrogen in the make-up gas. The synthesis loop, if desired, is upgraded to include a high activity catalyst converter for increased ammonia production.

Abstract: An inkjet printer (10) has a printhead mounted in a carriage (20) which periodically moves along a printhead path (58) in a carriage scan direction to a stop position in a service station (50,52) where an actuation device imparts translational motion to a wiper blade (688). The wiper blade (688) moves along a linear wiping path orthogonal to the printhead path (58) and across ink orifices on a nozzle surface of the printhead during a wiping operation. The wiper blade is removably mounted on a base (684) and is split to form a first blade for wiping one column of ink orifices and a second blade for simultaneously wiping another column of ink orifices on a nozzle surface of the printhead. In a preferred form of the invention, the service station (50) provides different sequential wiping steps with successive wiper blades by first drawing ink onto the nozzle surface from the ink orifices with a rounded blade edge (756) of a leading wiper blade, and then wiping the ink from the nozzle surface with a sharp blade edge (758) of a following wiper blade. The sequential wiping steps are repeated twice during a normal wiping cycle -- once when the wiper blades leave a parking location to wipe across the stationary printhead, and again when the wiper blades change direction to wipe back across the same stationary printhead to return to the parking location located away from the printhead path.

Abstract: The hydraulic flow regulator has proportional action and includes the electromagnet (1) with the movable core (7). It acts by variation of a section of a input/output port crossed by a flow of hydraulic fluid which is proportional to the electrical current supplying the winding (4) of the electromagnet. The regulator has in an extension of the electromagnet(1), a hydraulic distributor (2) with a fixed end (11), having a radial orifice (12) for input of pressurised hydraulic fluid and a radial fluid output orifice (13) axially separated from the input orifice (12). Inside the fixed end (11) is mounted a hydraulic slide valve (14) having at least two ports (15,16) between which extends an annular chamber (17). The slide valve (14) is axially linked to the movable core (7) of the electromagnet (1) so that the slide (14) is displaced by the core (7) and closes one or both of the input and output orifices (12,13). The hydraulic fluid passing through the open section of these orifices generates an hydro-dynamic force in the same or opposite sense to the force (F) exerted by the electromagnet (1) and is used as internal counteraction for the flow regulator.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme permettant de conserver un état constant de mise à jour périodique dans une mémoire principale sans perturber le fonctionnement normal de l'ordinateur, ce qui permet à un système informatique de se rétablir de défaillances sans pertes de données ou de continuité de traitement. D'après l'invention, une premier ordinateur comprend un processeur et des éléments d'entrée/sortie reliés à un sous-système de mémoire principale comprenant un élément primaire. Un deuxième ordinateur possède un élément de mémoire éloigné à points de reprise, pouvant comporter une ou plusieurs mémoires tampon et une mémoire en double, qui est relié au sous-système de mémoire principale du premier ordinateur. Pendant le traitement normal, une image de données enregistrées dans le premier élément de mémoire est captée par l'élément de mémoire à distance à points de reprise. Quand un nouveau point de reprise est souhaité (ce qui établit un état constant dans la mémoire principale auquel toutes les applications d'exécution peuvent revenir en toute sécurité après une défaillance), les données captées précédemment sont utilisées afin d'établir un nouvel état à points de reprise dans le deuxième ordinateur. En cas de défaillance du premier ordinateur, le deuxième ordinateur peut être redémarré, afin de fonctionner depuis le dernier point de reprise établi pour le premier ordinateur. Cette structure et ce protocole peuvent garantir un état constant dans la mémoire principale, ce qui permet d'obtenir un fonctionnement insensible aux défaillances.

Abstract: A means of optimizing throughput on a communications channel shared by multiple users. A communications channel that must be shared by a large number of devices has the potential of being very inefficient because of collisions or overlapping of transmissions by the various devices. The system combines a carrier sense, multiple access (CSMA) mode with a time division multiple access (TDMA) mode to achieve a channel utilization greater than 90 percent. The remote units send a poll request to a base station using the CSMA mode and receive a poll signal from the base station with a poll sequence. The remote units send their data in their assigned time slot. The remote units do not have to all be in radio contact with each other to maintain synchronization. Each remote unit selects the base station that it wishes to communicate with based on signal strength of various base stations. The remote units may switch from one base station to another by addressing the selected base station and using the selected base station's synchronization data pattern in radio transmissions from the remote unit. The synchronization data pattern may be different for each base station or may be identical for groups of base stations to provide broader regional control of the communications network. The base station will only communicate with remote units using the synchronization code for that base station. The system also recovers data from a more powerful signal that collides with a weaker signal by examining the received data for the synchronization code from the more powerful signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems for language translation are disclosed. The translator is based on finite state machines that can convert a pair of input symbol sequences to a pair of output symbol sequences. The translator includes a lexicon associating a finite state machine with a pair of head words with corresponding meanings in the source and target languages. The state machine for a source language head word  w  and a target language head word  v  reads the dependent words of  w  to its left and right in a source sentence and proposes corresponding dependents to the left and right of  v  in a target language sentence being constructed, taking account of the required word order for the target language. The state machines are used by a transduction search engine to generate a plurality of candidate translations via a recursive process wherein, a source language head word is first translated as described above, and then the heads of each of the dependent phrases are similarly translated, and then their dependents and so on. Only the state machines corresponding to the words in the source language string are activated and used by the search engine. The translator also includes a parameter table that provides costs for actions taken by each finite state machine in converting between the source language and the target language. The costs for machine transitions are indicative of the likelihood of co-occurence of pairs of words in the source language, and between corresponding pairs of words in the target language. The transduction search engine provides a total cost, using the parameter table, for each of the candidate translations. The total cost of a translation is the sum of the cost for all actions taken by each machine involved in the translation.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a
through-hole, a substrate used to produce a through-hole,
a substrate having a through-hole, and a device using
such a through-hole or a substrate having such a
through-hole, which are characterized in that: a
through-hole can be produced only by etching a silicon
substrate from its back side; the opening length d can be
precisely controlled to a desired value regardless of the
variations in the silicon wafer thickness, and the
orientation flat angle, and also regardless of the type
of a silicon crystal orientation-dependent anisotropic
etchant employed; high productivity, high production
reproducibility, and ease of production can be achieved;
a high-liberality can be achieved in the shape of the
opening end even if temperature treatment is performed at
a high temperature for a long time; and a high-precision
through-hole can be produced regardless of the shape of a
device formed on the surface of a substrate. The method
of producing a through-hole comprises the steps of: (a)
forming a dummy layer on the principal surface of the
substrate at a location where the through-hole will be
formed, the dummy layer being capable of being
selectively etched without etching the material of the 
substrate; (b) forming a passivation layer having
resistance to an etching process on the substrate in such
a manner that the dummy layer is covered with the
passivation layer; (c) forming an etching mask layer on
the back surface of the substrate, the etching mask layer
having an opening corresponding to the dummy layer; (d)
etching the substrate by means of a crystal
orientation-dependent anisotropic etching process until
the dummy layer is exposed via the opening; (e) removing
the dummy layer by etching the dummy layer from the part
which has been exposed in the step of etching the
substrate; and (f) partially removing the passivation
layer so as to form a through-hole.
