Abstract: L~invention concerne des techniques de mesure sans contact de l~épaisseur ou du calibre de bandes ou de feuilles en mouvement, à l~aide d~un dispositif de détection comportant une première tête de détection et une deuxième tête de détection espacées pour définir un chemin emprunté par une bande en mouvement. Le dispositif de détection projette un motif de points multiples généré par un laser sur la surface supérieure de la bande en mouvement. Une analyse par algorithme de reconnaissance de motifs identifie l~orientation, notamment l~inclinaison, de la bande en mouvement. Le dispositif mesure également, outre l~inclinaison de la bande, la distance entre la première tête de détection et une première surface de la bande, la distance entre la deuxième tête de détection et une deuxième surface de la bande, ainsi que la distance entre les deux têtes de détection de façon à effectuer une mesure instantanée et très précise de l~épaisseur de la bande en mouvement.

Abstract: An interphase coating is formed by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) on the fibers constituting a fiber preform, the interphase coating comprising at least an inner layer in contact with the fibers for embrittlement relief to the composite material, and an outer layer for bonding with the ceramic matrix. The fiber preform is then kept in its shape by the fibers provided with the interphase coating and is consolidated by being impregnated with a liquid composition containing a ceramic precursor, and by transforming the precursor into a ceramic matrix consolidation phase. The consolidated preform is then densified by an additional ceramic matrix phase. No support tooling is needed for forming the interphase coating by CVI or for densification after consolidation using the liquid technique.

Abstract: A lighter device having a flow restrictor and associated methods for manufacturing and testing such lighter device and flow restrictor are described. The flow restrictor may be formed of a porous member to achieve a substantially fixed or varying flame height. The flow restrictor may be tested before or after assembly into a lighter housing by receiving a non-combustible fluid therethrough. The flow rate of the non-combustible fluid may be correlated to the flow rate of a combustible fluid through the flow restrictor to approximate the resultant flame height of a lighter incorporating the tested flow restrictor. The flow restrictor may also be tested by receiving a combustible fluid therethrough prior to assembling the flow restrictor into the lighter housing. In this manner, flow restrictors and corresponding lighter devices may be tested without introducing combustible fluids into such lighter devices prior to shipment. Also, a vacuum may be drawn on a fuel tank of the lighter prior to shipment.

Abstract: Security systems and methods are implemented using a variety of devices and methods. According to one such implementation, a security system uses a controller to communicate with security-monitoring devices and has an integrated image-capture device comprising a circuit board structure having an angle-setting support article, a circuit board with a nonadjustable surface, and data-communicating electrical conductors. A camera is secured to the nonadjustable surface and is directed at a first angle relative to the nonadjustable surface. A motion detector is secured to the nonadjustable surface and is directed at a second angle relative to the nonadjustable surface of the circuit board. The support article sets the first angle relative to the second angle for capturing both images and motion in a target area. A data-communication circuit communicates data from the camera and the motion detector via the data-communicating electrical conductors and wirelessly communicates the data to the controller.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and system of processing chain calculations in spreadsheet applications utilizing multiple processors, each having a separate recalculation engine. A single calculation chain may be reordered into a unified chain where supporting and dependent formulas are organized into a tree hierarchy of child chains. The unified chain is further divided into dependency levels, where entries in each dependency level may be moved to a next dependency level during reordering. If an entry within a dependency level is dependent upon another entry not found within its own child chain, the unified chain is ordered such that an entry is only dependent upon an entry in a prior dependency level. Further, dependency levels allow a control thread to perform control-thread-only operations while maintaining multi-thread processing capabilities.

Abstract: Creating different congestion control modules (CCMs) that can be plugged into a network communications stack (e.g., a TCP/IP stack). Software abstractions defining transport control events, congestion control algorithms and other information may be exposed by an application programming interface, e.g., of an operating system, and these abstractions may be used to define a CCM. The network communications stack may be configured to select one of multiple available CCMs to control congestion for a given connection. This selection may be based on any of a variety of factors including, but not limited to: network environment; connection path characteristics; connection link characteristics; a value of a socket parameter of an application; other factors; and any suitable combination of the foregoing. Thus, CCMs may be selected and implemented on a per-connection basis.
