Abstract: A front end portion 100 is disposed on the front end of a car
body. The floor thereof consists of extruded hollow members
210 that constitute a shock absorber 200. The shock absorber
200 is divided into an upper shock absorber 200 and a lower shock
absorber 200. Annealed extruded hollow members are used to form
the hollow member 210. The hollow members 210 are disposed so
that their direction of extrusion corresponds to the longitudinal
direction of the car body. The hollow members 210 are divided
longitudinally into two portions by a plate 220. At the
width-direction ends of member 210, the face plates 211 and 212
are welded onto plates 223-226. Upon receiving impact load,
members 210 fold up into concertinas, absorbing the impact force.
Since members 210 are separated by a plate, they deform evenly
and continuously into concertinas instead of being bent in half,
capable of absorbing a large energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a waste container (1) for mechanical waste collection,
which has a manually and mechanically openable main lid (2) equipped with at least
one and preferably a pair of manually operated secondary lids (4), one at each side
thereof, through which litter or waste bags are discharged into the container
without opening the main lid itself, which remains closed and is mainly used
during mechanical waste collection. The user may therefore discharge litter
and/or waste bags into the waste container without having to leave the
pavement, thereby avoiding exposure to dangers associated with the
opening/closing operation being conducted from the roadside, by merely
opening the manually operated secondary lids whilst standing at the sides or at the
rear of the container, without having to open the relatively heavy main lid and
consequently be exposed to the bulk of the waste inside the container and
undesirable odors deriving therefrom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact device (1) for the detachable connection of a mobile appliance unit (30) to fixed conductor rails (14). Said device comprises a housing (2) consisting of insulating material, and contact units (4) which are housed in chambers (3) of the housing (2). Each contact unit (4) comprises at least one bent contact member (5), a connector part (16) which is likewise bent, and a guiding part (15) which is arranged between the two. An intermediate wall (13) is arranged in the chambers (3) of the housing (2), said wall comprising a window (22) for receiving the guiding part (15). An excessive thickness of the guiding part in relation to the intermediate wall (13), combined with the dimensions of the window (22), enables the contact units (4) to be displaced in the chambers (3) in relation to the housing (2). The contact units (4) can thus be oriented towards fixed conductor rails (14) without influencing the contact force.

IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne de procédés d'imagerie optique, notamment des procédés faisant appel à la tomographie à cohérence optique. Ces procédés utilisent un faisceau de lumière à faible cohérence qui est réfléchi par une surface échantillon et comparé à un faisceau de lumière de référence. La rétroaction optique dynamique en temps réel permet de détecter la position de surface d'un échantillon de tissu par rapport à un point de référence et à la portée de balayage de retard nécessaire. Le retard est assuré par un miroir inclinable/rotatif actionné par un galvanomètre à tension réglable. L'invention concerne également un appareil de sonde d'imagerie qui permet d'améliorer ledit procédé. Initialement, la sonde effectue un balayage le long d'une ligne jusqu'à ce qu'elle trouve la surface du tissu, qui est identifiable comme une transition abrupte entre une absence de signal et un signal fort. Lorsque la sonde balaie la ligne suivante, elle règle la forme d'onde en fonction du balayage précédent. Un algorithme permet de déterminer la portée de balayage optimale.

Abstract: In a system for encoding digital video, a method of interframe coding is described. A sequence of digital video frames may be expressed as anchor frames and at least one associated subsequent frame. The plurality of pixels (304) of the anchor frame and each subsequent frame are converted from pixel domain elements to the frequency domain elements (312). The elements are quantized (316) to emphasize those elements that are more sensitive to the human visual system and de-emphasize those elements that are less sensitive to the human visual system. The difference between each quantized frequency domain element of the anchor frame and corresponding quantized frequency domain elements of each subsequent frame are determined and encoded.
