Title: Commande d'evacuation de carburant
Inventor: HURLEY RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de régulation du passage de carburant d'un dispositif de captation de vapeur à la chambre de combustion d'un moteur à combustion interne, permettant d'évacuer le carburant accumulé dans le dispositif de captation de vapeur au moyen d'un flux de purge; le flux de purge s'écoule du dispositif de captation de vapeur vers le moteur, le débit du flux de purge étant modifié au moyen d'une soupape de régulation de débit située entre le dispositif de captation de vapeur et le moteur. Le procédé consiste à déterminer une valeur de signal de soupape minimale et une valeur de signal de soupape maximale en fonction du moteur et de la charge du moteur; le procédé consiste également à déterminer une plage minimale et maximale des valeurs de signal de soupape permettant de commander l'ouverture de la soupape, et la sélection soit de la valeur de signal de soupape minimale ou de la valeur de signal de soupape maximale, soit d'une interpolation entre les valeurs minimale et maximale en fonction des conditions de fonctionnement du moteur pour optimiser la quantité de carburant évacué du dispositif de captation de vapeur au moteur dans diverses conditions de fonctionnement du moteur. L'invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la quantité de vapeur de carburant évacuée pendant le fonctionnement en boucle fermée du moteur, dans un moteur à combustion interne comprenant une source de carburant primaire et un système de fourniture de vapeur de carburant produite dans le système de carburant du moteur à combustion interne à au moins une chambre de combustion de ce dernier. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer la quantité de carburant fournie au moteur par la source de carburant primaire; et à comparer cette valeur avec une estimation prédéterminée du niveau total d'avitaillement en carburant requis.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système d'éclairage automatisé et sur un procédé remplaçant le contrôle à l'oeil nu de la surface d'un échantillon présentant des caractéristiques ou anomalies distinctives pouvant être détectées soit sous un éclairage sur fond clair ou fond noir, soit sous un éclairage combiné sur fond clair et fond noir. Selon une réalisation préférée, on utilise un système d'examen de défauts macroscopiques après développement ADI Macro) qui recherche sur la face gravée d'une tranche de semi-conducteur des défauts à grande échelle (à savoir dans une plage de dimensions se situant au-dessus de 25 microns minimum). Le système d'examen ADI Macro recherche les défauts apparaissant après le développement photolithographique et comprenant des régions de manques d'épaisseur, d'égratignures, de microtaches, de grosses particules (à savoir des particules comprises dans une plage de dimensions se situant au-dessus de 25 microns minimum), des excès de dépôt de photorésist, une inégalité de dépôt de photorésist et des incohérences imputables au détourage. Deux tubes fluorescents sont utilisés pour éclairer la zone cible sur fond noir, et un tube fluorescent est utilisé pour éclairer la zone cible sur fond clair. Des premier et second systèmes d'imagerie captent, respectivement, des rayons lumineux sur fond noir et des rayons lumineux sur fond clair émanant de la zone cible éclairée de la surface de la tranche. Chacune des deux matrices de capteurs de lumière communique optiquement avec un système différent des premier et second systèmes d'imagerie. Les sorties des matrices de capteurs de lumière émettent un courant de données numériques qui est traité par un ordinateur d'imagerie. On effectue à partir de ces données l'examen des défauts en analysant une image à différence parmi des zones réticulaires voisines de la tranche échantillon.

Abstract: Dans le cadre de la présente invention, il a été découvert que PPARη est systématiquement exprimé dans chacun des principaux types histologiques du liposarcome humain. Ainsi, il a été découvert que l'activation maximale du PPARη avec un ligand exogène (une thiazolidinedione ou un de ses dérivatifs) activait la différenciation terminale des cellules de liposarcome humain primaires. De plus, il a été découvert que le ligands spécifiques de RXR étaient également des agents adipogènes efficaces au niveau des cellules exprimant l'hétérodimère PPARη/RXRα, et qu'un traitement simultané des cellules de liposarcome avec une fraction de thiazolidinedionyle (une classe sélective de PPARη de composés) et un ligand spécifique de RXR générait une stimulation supplémentaire de la différenciation. En conséquence, l'invention a permit d'identifier des compositions efficaces pour le traitement des liposarcomes.

Abstract: A VXI compliant interface module (108) which plugs into a VXI test equipment
environment (VXI mainframe (106)) and provides a high speed serial link 104 to a
general purpose computer (102) operating as a controller of the test equipment. In
particular, the VXI interface module (108) of the present invention utilizes an IEEE 1394
high performance serial bus (104, 200) as the interface between the controller (102)
and the VXI mainframe (106) and bus (110). A processor (214) on the VXI interface
module (108) interprets and processes VXI standard commands sequences including
message based command/status sequences and register based command/status
sequences. Standard software modules (300..306) on the general purpose computer
(controller) exchange such commands and status in accordance with the VXI
standards. A simple driver module (306) performs the encoding and decoding of the
commands and status into for the IEEE 1394 serial signal standards. As compared to
presently known VXI interface solutions, the present invention is simpler while
maintaining a high level of performance. Simplicity, hence lower cost, is achieved
through enabling use of a standard general purpose computer (i.e., personal computer
102 or workstation) as a controller as compared to prior custom VXI "plug-in"
controllers and through use of a narrow (e.g., one bit wide) serial connection bus (104)
as compared to prior wide parallel bus cables and structures.

Abstract: A capping apparatus includes a capping head 3 which is
provided with a rotatable spindle. A plurality of permanent magnets
51 are embedded around the entire outer periphery at the upper end of
the spindle, with adjacent permanent magnets 51 presenting magnetic
poles of different polarities. An arcuate rotation imparting member
53 is fixedly mounted and includes a plurality of permanent magnets
55 which are disposed along a locus of travel of the permanent magnets
51 on the capping head 3, with adjacent permanent magnets 55
presenting magnetic poles of different polarities. As the capping
head 3 moves through a threadable engaging zone C in a direction
indicated by an arrow, coaction between the permanent magnets 51
and 55 causes the capping head 3 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing
a cap 12 to be threadably engaged with a container 4. The permanent
magnets 51 and 55 form together a drive source which is free from a
sliding movement, thus preventing a occurrence of abraded powder
and avoiding a contamination of the environment of a working area.
