Title: Detection optique de particules dans un milieu liquide
Inventor: RASTOPOV STANISLAV
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne la détection de particules dans un milieu liquide, qui consiste à diriger une source de lumière laser à travers un récipient contenant un échantillon liquide qui présente une concentration de particules microscopiques en suspension. Un détecteur optique situé hors de l'axe optique reçoit de la lumière diffusée provenant des particules, et produit un signal contenant une composante CC et une composante variable. La composante CC est éliminée afin d'obtenir un signal filtré représentant la composante variable. Un mouvement est produit dans le liquide échantillon, p. ex. par agitation par convection, afin d'étendre la bande de fréquences de la composante variable vers des fréquences supérieures. Le dispositif, qui peut servir à détecter la courbe de croissance d'échantillons biologiques, possède une sensibilité accrue.

Abstract: A process for measuring the profile depth of a tyre during use, esp a vehicle tyre, comprises detecting the vibrations that occur due to profile separation and/or geometry, or vibrations from tyre components. A process for measuring the profile depth of a tyre during use, esp a vehicle tyre, comprises detecting the vibrations that occur due to profile separation and/or geometry, or vibrations from tyre components. The vibration values are fed to a processing unit, where they are compared to a characteristic nominal or threshold value produced by an adequate profile depth. A signal is produced if the measured value falls below an acceptable level. The profile geometry is such that the positive amount of the profile is dependent upon the depth, and profile separation changes suddenly as the depth reduces.

Abstract: A tapered roller bearing is proposed in which the
retainer will not wear during use even if the retainer is
subjected to bottom-expanding and caulking steps.
Circumferential end faces on both sides of pockets of the
retainer have a crown shape so that even if deformation
occurs in recesses of the pockets during bottom-expanding
and caulking steps, the tapered rollers contact the
circumferential end faces on both sides at their crowned
portion. Thus, the tapered rollers will not locally
contact the recesses of the pockets. This prevents wear
of the retainer and deterioration of lubricating oil by
wear powder.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for negotiating a secure
end-to-end connection using a proxy server as an intermediary. The client first negotiates a
secure connection between the client and the proxy so that any credentials exchanged will be
encrypted. After the exchange of authentication credentials, the secure client-proxy
connection is altered so that no further encryption takes place. The client and server then
negotiate a secure end-to-end connection through the proxy, with the secure end-to-end
connection being encapsulated within the insecure client-proxy connection. In this way, the
overhead of creating a separate client-proxy connection for the secure end-to-end connection
may be avoided, but the insecure client-proxy connection introduces only minimal overhead
because it no longer encrypts any data that it carries.

Abstract: What is described is a mobile high voltage network to supply electrical consumer units
connected via a plug-in connector and which can be switched on and off by means of
mechanical switches, with a fuse responding in the event of a short circuit. 
     Well know mobile high voltage networks carry alternating voltage. With a view to the
greatest possible flexibility, a high degree of efficiency, a low expenditure on components
as well as a reasonably priced solution, including expenditure on power electronics, the
losses through the power electronics as well as the expenditure for the stabilisation of the
mains frequency and the mains voltage, these high voltage networks based on power
transmission by means of alternating or direct current are however uneconomical. 
     A high voltage network of the type described in the introduction hereto is to be created,
that can be operated and monitored economically. 
     For this the high voltage network carries a direct voltage and to each electrical consumer
unit (8; 10) a separate diagnostic and protection monitoring system is assigned which is
activated when it is switched on and/or off. 
     Such a direct voltage and high voltage network in conjunction with the diagnostic and
protection monitoring system makes it possible, before starting up any circuit of
consumer units to effect a self-diagnosis of the protection monitoring system, to ensure
that all components are fully functional. Without this self-diagnosis with proof of
functionality the relevant circuit of consumer units is not switched on.

Abstract: A sound volume set-point value set by the variable
resistor 1 is converted into a sound volume set-point value
signal by a sound volume set-point value detecting section.
A control signal generating section rectifies an input signal
and adds it to a sound volume set-point value signal, thereby
generating a control signal less fluctuated, and the
amplification factor of amplifying section is adjusted by the
control signal. The input signal is amplitude limited by this,
to thereby prevent an output sound from being distorted. When
the input signal is low in level, the amplitude limiting
operation of the amplifier is stopped, to thereby retain a
dynamic range of the original signal. Through the fluctuation
suppression of the control signal, the unnatural feeling given
to the listener when the amplitude limiting operation starts
or stops is also lessened.

Abstract: An optimal digit translation and call processing system and method is provided. A prefix translation and digit characterization process are performed utilizing a digit prefix table and a second table interfaced therewith. The digit prefix table contains numerous records corresponding to prefixes of dialed digit streams. Each record includes an index to a record of a second table operable to output a termination type of the digit stream. The second table includes numerous records associated with various call termination types. Each index included within respective records of the digit prefix table may reference more than one record of the second table. The digit stream length is analyzed to resolve ambiguities in the digit stream when an index in a record of the digit prefix table references more than one record of the second table. Multiple records of the digit prefix table may have a common index to an identical record of the second table thus reducing the required number of records in the second table for characterizing call termination types. A call screening table is interrogated with termination type data obtained from the second table. The call screening table can pass call control to a national or international translator table which provide a route index on which further call processing is performed. The route index may be modified by an originator routing table, a carrier identification code routing table and a time of day routing table before the call is ultimately routed.

Abstract: A trench MOSFET is formed in a structure which includes a P-type epitaxial layer overlying an N+ substrate. An N-type dopant is implanted through the bottom of the trench into the P-epitaxial layer to form a buried layer below the trench, and after a up-diffusion step a N drain-drift region extends between the N+ substrate and the bottom of the trench. The result is a more controllable doping profile of the N-type dopant below the trench. The body region may also be formed by implanting P-type dopant into the epitaxial layer, in which case the background doping of the epitaxial layer may be either lightly doped P- or N-type. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown voltage.
