IPC: B29C70/54
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: In resin transfer moulding (RTM), the walls of the mould cavity are provided with temperature sensing thermocouples 20. Pressure sensors can be used alternatively or additionally. The thermocouples are connected to a processor unit 10,12 which receives signals from all the thermocouples and detects from a temperature rise when an exothermic reaction has been completed in the mould cavity. The processor unit then, after a certain time delay, gives an instruction to open the mould so that a moulded component can be demoulded.

Abstract: An inelastically deformable metal diffuser device (10) has a circular substantially planar top (14) with radially disposed stiffening ribs (18) and a cylindrical sidewall. Diffusing apertures are provided at the junction of the top and sidewalls. The diffuser is welded to the cylindrical sidewall of a gas generator (22) and the planar top (14) deforms into a substantially hemispherical shape upon actuation of the generator. Measurement of the height (H) of the diffuser (10) provides an indication of whether generation of a predetermined pressure has occurred.

Abstract: A field programmable gate array (FPGA) with a programmable function unit (PFU) that includes a look-up table (LUT) for implementing a plurality of functions including first and second RAM cells (102, 108), and a programmable switching device (114) dedicated to coupling and decoupling the RAM cells. The first and second RAM cells are coupled to respective first and second read/write ports (104, 110). The RAM cells function individually as single-port RAM cells when decoupled by the switching device. However, the RAM cells share data to function collectively as a dual-port RAM cell when coupled by the switching device. The dual-port RAM cell is accessible by both the first and second read/write ports.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un ensemble de verrouillage d'une colonne de direction et le procédé de fabrication correspondant. Ce procédé consiste à emboutir une bague de verrouillage de colonne de direction (2) sur un tube de colonne de direction (1) de manière à restreindre le mouvement relatif d'une pièce par rapport à l'autre au-dessous d'un niveau prédéterminé de moment de torsion alors qu'une rotation relative se produit pour des valeurs de moment de torsion supérieures à la valeur prédéterminée. On peut placer une couche (3) de matière plastique entre ces deux pièces. Une fois que le premier moment de torsion est surmonté, la rotation entre les deux pièces peut se produire, mais celle-ci cesse dès que le niveau du moment de torsion tombe au-dessous du niveau prédéterminé.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method and system for the
secure transmission and storage of protectable information, in
particular, of patient information, by means of a patient card.
The data stored on the patient card are protected by cryptographic
methods. The data can be decrypted only with the same
patient card if a doctor is authorised and the patient has
given his agreement. All information which the patient card
needs in order to decide whether the doctor is authorised and
the key for protecting the control data and the random key are
held on the chip. The patient data can be freely transmitted to
any storage medium. The chip controls both the access to the
data and the encryption and decryption functions. Random keys,
which are themselves stored encrypted together with the data
ensure that every data record remains separate from every other
and that only authorised persons can access it. Every patient
card has its own record key. The system and method in accordance
with the invention is not directed exclusively to patient
data but can be applied to any protectable data to which right
of access is to be restricted.

Abstract: Synchronization of a terrestrial transmitted CDMA signal with
despreading and respreading in a remote satellite, for transmission to a second
terrestrial site, is achieved in accord with the processes recited in the appended
claims. Uplink access and synchronization signals are acquired at a satellite switch
and a reference propagation delay time is established in terms of quantified timing
marks with intervals within a size range of chip intervals used in the CDMA
spreading codes of the system. The propagation delay is defined in terms of one of
the quantified timing marks defining when a first signal from a terrestrial subscriber
unit is received. This propagation delay is transmitted to a terrestrial subscriber unit
and utilized to adjust the timing of uplink CDMA code chips.

Abstract: A heat exchanger, particularly, a multi-tube heat exchanger
(3), includes a heat exchanger body substantially reversing a
direction of air flow in the heat exchanger body. An air
conditioner has such a heat exchanger (3) in its air-flow
reversing section (2). Because the air flow may be reversed in
the heat exchanger (3) itself, it is not necessary to provide
particular spaces for the flow of air into the heat exchanger
(3) and the flow of air from the heat exchanger (3). Therefore,
the heat exchanger (3) may be installed in a limited amount of
space, and the air duct (1) forming air path of the air
conditioner may be reduced in size. As a result, the size of
the entire air conditioner may be greatly reduced.

Abstract: To reduce the power consumption of a remote unit in a dispatch system the remote unit enters a dormant state. A base station transmits a forward link broadcast signal and monitors a common access channel. A first remote unit continually receives and decodes the forward link broadcast signal and determines whether said forward link broadcast signal comprises active signals. If the remote unit determines that the forward link broadcast signal comprises no active signals for some a duration T1, the first remote unit enters a dormant mode. In the dormant mode the remote unit sporadically receives and decodes said forward link broadcast signal. If this remote unit or any other remote unit on the same net presses a push to talk button, it transmits a message on the common access channel. In response, every remote unit on the net which is in a dormant state exits the dormant state and continually monitors the forward link broadcast signal.

Abstract: A digital frequency-doubling circuit includes a pair of cascaded

first stage of the cascaded first delay circuits receiving an input signal to
be frequency-doubled, and an exclusive-OR circuit receiving the input
signal and a delayed output signal outputted from the first stage of the

A delay amount comparator receives a first delayed output signal
outputted from a second stage of the cascaded first delay circuits and a
second delayed output signal outputted from a second delay circuit of a
small delay receiving the first delayed output signal, for performing
comparison at a transition timing of the input signal, to discriminate
whether the obtained frequency-doubled signal advances or delays in
comparison of an optimum duty ratio. A delay amount selector responds
to the result of the comparison of the delay amount comparator for
generating a delay control signal optimizing the delay amount of the
cascaded first delay circuits. Thus, the frequency-doubled signal can be
automatically controlled to have a optimum duty ratio.
