Abstract: Système conçu pour écrire une séquence de signaux d'asservissement sur un support d'enregistrement et qui est constitué d'un transducteur à tête d'écriture pleine largeur et d'une ou de plusieurs têts d'effacement à fente. La tête d'écriture pleine largeur s'utillise pour enregistrer des signaux sur toute la largeur du support d'enregistrement; la tête d'effacement s'utilise pour effacer les caractères nuls dans la séquence de signaux d'asservissement. La séquence d'asservissement obtenue présente une très bonne correspondance de caractéristiques de signaux entre les différentes parties de la séquence de signaux obtenue, car les séquences enregistrées ont tout été écrites en une seule fois par la même tête d'écriture. L'utilisation de têtes d'effacement minutieusement fabriquées et alignées permet d'obtenir une séquence de signaux très précise.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le couplage catalysé au palladium, d'halogénures d'aryle et de vinyle avec des composés vinyliques et, plus particulièrement, le couplage catalysé au palladium, du 2-méthoxynathtalène substitué en position 4 et en position 6 pour former la nabumétone. L'avantage considérable de cette nouvelle réaction est que la méthylvinylcétone normalement utilisée pour la préparation de la nabumétone, se forme in situ. Nous avons découvert un mécanisme qui permet d'exploiter cette formation in situ de la méthylvinylcétone, et d'éviter d'utiliser, comme matière première, de la méthylvinylcétone, qui est chère, toxique et instable. La réaction peut être utilisée pour la synthèse de toute une gamme de composés pharmaceutiques actifs et non pharmaceutiques.

Abstract: Video coding apparatus and decoding apparatus
capable of reproducing decoded pictures without
introducing unwanted noises, even if any considerable
difference in pixel values or discontinuity exists at a
certain block boundary. In a video coding apparatus
employing predictive techniques, a dequantizer and an
inverse DCT processor reproduce a prediction error signal
from quantized transform coefficients. Here, a first
resolution conversion unit (or downsampling unit) might
have subsampled the original prediction error signal to
reduce its picture resolution. If this is the case, a
second resolution conversion unit (or upsampling unit)
attempts to restore the original resolution of the
prediction error signal by applying an upsampling process
to the reproduced prediction error signal having the
reduced resolution. In this upsampling process, each new
pixel value in a certain block are calculated with
reference to some surrounding pixels. The upsampling
process, however, will not refer to the pixels belonging
to any adjacent blocks that are subject to another coding
scheme which is different from the coding scheme of the
present block of interest. As an alternate arrangement,
the upsampling process will entirely neglect the pixels in
any other blocks but will refer only to the present block.

Abstract: A device (21) for metering the mass flow of bulk material, such as grain or other crop material, comprises a sensor member (51) with a curved surface (53) installed adjacent the outlet of a conveyor (12). The sensor member (51) is mounted for pivotment about a transverse axis (P) and is subject to the moment (M) resulting from the material flow along its surface (53). A spring means (66) is provided to keep the sensor member (51) in zero load position. The displacement of the sensor member (51) is proportional to the mass flow rate. Changing friction coefficients µ between the bulk material and the surface (53) will affect the flow pattern therealong, but an array (70) of pivot points can be found about which the measured moments (M) remain substantially insensitive to these flow changes. 
     Alternatively a force component may be sensed of the material flow on the sensor surface (53) in a particular direction. A direction can be found wherein the force component is equally insensitive to flow changes caused by friction coefficient changes. 
     Such metering devices may be used in grain and forage harvesters, wherein they need less recalibration under varying harvesting conditions.

Abstract: The goal of the disclosed invention is to obtain a condenser lens system which
is applicable to illumination conditions of objective lenses with super-wide fields of view
in a range between 1x and 100x. The condenser lens system consists of, between the
light source and the surface of the illuminated object: a first lens group which has
negative refractive power, a second lens group which has positive refractive power,
and a third lens group which has positive refractive power. The first and third lens
groups are separately movable to an application position which is located on the optical
axis, and the removed position, which is located outside the optical axis. When using a
high-magnification objective lens of the microscope, the first lens group is placed at the
removed position and the third lens group is placed at the application position so that
the condenser lens system as a whole has a positive refractive power. When using a
low-magnification objective lens, the first lens group is placed at the application position
and the third lens group is placed at the removed position so that the condenser lens
system as a whole is substantially an afocal system.
