Patent EP-1403649-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KREMER PETER
IPC: G01R31/26
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: Method for fault diagnosis of photovoltaic generators (PV) of a photovoltaic installation (PA), whereby the characteristic curves of the generators are monitored at regular time intervals to detect any unexpected discontinuities in the curves. A maintenance warning is generated if any curve exceeds a preset threshold line. Optimally a solar inverter can be used to carry out the method with existing semiconductor switches, and voltage and current sensors of the inverter used to measure the generator characteristic curves.  An Independent claim is made for a solar inverter with a microcontroller that controls semiconductor switches so that at least a part of the characteristic curves of photovoltaic generators of a photovoltaic installation can be measured.

Abstract: A bearing for use in a water pump or similar apparatus and
a method of assembling the bearing. The bearing has a stepped
shaft and a counterbored raceway at the fan or pulley end
which allows for use of a larger number of balls in the
raceway at the fan or pulley end, and which allows for using
larger balls at the impeller end. The method of assembly of
the bearing includes assembling balls and a cage to form a
ball and cage assembly, assembling ball and cage assembly into
the outer race at its pulley end, then sliding the shaft,
impeller end first, into the outer race through the pulley end
such that the first inner raceway and the first balls align
with the first outer raceway. The shaft is then displaced in a
direction perpendicular to its axial centerline within the
outer race. A second plurality of balls is inserted onto the
shaft within the outer race at its second outer raceway end,
and a second cage is inserted over the shaft and within the
outer race to surround the second plurality of balls.

Abstract: A method and device for error concealment in a video sequence. When there is a scene transition (126) in the video sequence and there is an error in a picture belonging to the scene transition, an error concealment procedure based on the type of scene transition is used to conceal the error (136). Information about the type of the scene transition is provided to a video decoder in a supplemental enhancement information message. If the scene transition is a gradual scene transition, a spatio-temporal error concealment algorithm is used to concel the picture. If the scene transition is a scene cut and only a part of the picture is lost or corrupted, a spatial error concealment is used to conceal the lost or corrupted part of the picture. If a whole picture belonging to the scene cut is lost or corrupted and the picture starts a new scene, it is not concealed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une montre universelle mécanique comportant un mécanisme de transmission qui permet, à l'aide d'une bague tournante comportant 24 zones horaires, de déplacer directement l'élément indiquant l'heure, par exemple une aiguille à 12 heures et/ou une aiguille à 24 heures. Avec cette montre, on peut déplacer manuellement la zone horaire, c'est-à-dire lire l'heure d'une autre zone horaire. L'utilisation de cette montre ne peut pas être plus simple. Après ouverture d'un levier, le mécanisme montré par la figure 1 s'enclenche automatiquement. La couronne dentée (6) bloquée avec la bague tournante entraîne une roue d'entraînement vertical (5) qui est reliée, par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre, à une roue d'accouplement (4). Lorsque le mouvement (4) est enclenché, il entraîne une ou deux minuteries (8, 9) qui déplacent une roue à 12 heures (10) et une roue à 24 heures (11) selon un rythme d'1 heure. La bague tournante est donc ainsi facilement tournée jusqu'à la destination souhaitée à 12 heures et on peut immédiatement lire l'heure locale. Soit la bague tournante est maintenant ramenée à son point de départ, soit le levier est tout simplement fermé. Dans le second cas, le mécanisme continue à tourner selon la destination réglée. Le poussoir (2) désengage le mécanisme par l'intermédiaire d'un baladeur (3), bloque, simultanément à l'état fermé la couronne dentée (6) et empêche un déplacement intempestif de l'heure. Ce mécanisme de transmission peut également être utilisé pour le réglage ou la modification d'autres éléments indicateurs, indiquant notamment la date, le jour, le mois, l'année, les minutes, ou bien pour assurer d'autres fonctions telles que celle d'un réveil.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention provide a method and system for memory
to bus interface data encryption and decryption. A method for memory to bus interface
data encryption and decryption may include encrypting data by a encryption/decryption
engine or processor and transferring the encrypted data across a first bus interface to a
data processing and/or storage device coupled to the first bus interface. The encryption
engine may receive encrypted data from a device coupled to the first bus interface and
decrypt the received encrypted data. In this regard, unencrypted data never traverses
across the first bus interface, and is thereby not accessible to devices coupled to the
first bus interface. An encryption function and a decryption function associated with the
encryption/decryption engine may be integrated within a bus adapter, for example, an
IDE bus adapter.
