Abstract: The invention relates to a device for operating a gas shuttle valve of a reciprocating internal combustion engine comprising an electromagnetic actuator which operates the gas shuttle valve. The actuator has a closing magnet and an opening magnet. An axially displaceable armature is arranged between said magnets. The armature acts upon a valve stem via an armature shaft combined with a spring system, said armature shaft being arranged in a guide, whereby the armature shaft is constructed in the shape of a tube and the device has an element which compensates for play. Said element is connected to a pressure connection in order to supply pressure medium via the armature shaft. According to the invention, the armature shaft comprises load oriented regions with varying wall thicknesses in order to create a device for operating a gas shuttle valve of a reciprocating internal combustion engine having a lower weight with a sufficient loading capacity.

Abstract: An inorganic body 3 containing rare earth and/or transition metal ion is
irradiated with a pulsed laser beam 1, in the manner such that a focal point 2 of the
pulsed laser beam 1 is adjusted to an inner part of the inorganic body 3. The inorganic
body 3 may be a glass or crystal containing one or more of oxide, halide and
chalcogenide. The rare earth ion may be one or more of Ce, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Tm,
Tb. The transition metal ion may be one or more of Ti, Mn, Cr, V, Fe, Cu, Mo and Ru.
When the focal point 2 is relatively shifted with respect to the inorganic body 3, an ionic
valence-changed domain is formed with a predetermined pattern at the inner part of
the inorganic body 3. The pulsed laser beam is preferably with pulse width under a
picosecond. The ionic valence change occurs at the focal point 2 and its vicinity but the
rare earth or transition metal ion keeps its original valence at the other part, so as to
form a reformed domain with a predetermined pattern in the inorganic body 3. Since
optical properties are selectively changed at the reformed domain, the processed
inorganic body 3 is useful as a functional device such as a memory device or a
light-emitting device using the differentiated optical properties.

Title: Method of transmission and transmission system
Inventor: ZELLERHOFF THOMAS
IPC: H04L49/111
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: Digital data introduced in a parallel form of a specific number of data channels (K0-Kn) on the input side, is converted into a serial data flow (D).Once said data is received, it is re-divided by corresponding demultiplexing into parallel data channels (K0-Kn) on the output side. In order to enable allocation of the parallel inputted bits of the data channels (K0-Kn) without the need for complicated switching and additional synchronisation data, the serial data flow (D) transmitted in the form of ATM cells is monitored with respect to the occurrence of a specific bit sequence which is transmitted with each cell format. This characteristic bit sequence enables the position of the individual bits of the corresponding data channels (K0-Kn) in the serial optical data flow to be determined, whereby correct parallelising of the serial data flow (D) can thus occur.

Abstract: In an ink jet recording apparatus having two head
units (232, 233), each having a large number of ink
nozzles arranged in a line, assembled so that they
overlap with each other, an 8-shade image signal is
entered into a correction circuit (41) and a line
direction position signal is input into a position
signal decision circuit (42). When the position signal
decision circuit (42) decides that the position signal
represents the overlapping zone of the head units, the
shade level of the image signal is divided between the
head units (232, 233). For example, when the shade
level of the image signal is 7, one of the head units
is allotted the shade level (6) and the other is
allotted the shade level (1). The overlapping nozzles
in a pair eject droplets of ink to form one dot.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un système destiné à analyser les facteurs généraux de diagnostic des cellules et des fluides biologiques à l'aide d'un cytomètre de flux, et notamment sur un système caractérisant un nombre de tests de fécondité différents, selon une formule simple et rapide, afin de rechercher des facteurs affectant la fécondité, de préférence de manière semi ou totalement automatisée. Un procédé de préparation a été spécifiquement développé de façon à augmenter les chances de réussite de la fécondation in vitro et de l'insémination intra-utérine dans des cas d'immunofécondité des cellules du sperme en retirant les anticorps liés au sperme. Un dispositif spécifique a été conçu pour récupérer uniquement les cellules mobiles du sperme dans des échantillons de liquide séminal. Cette invention permet donc d'améliorer les procédés de test de diagnostic et de dépistage de la stérilité, et permet également aux gynécologues d'obtenir des informations sur le couple stérile dans un test préliminaire qui, jusqu'à maintenant, prenait du temps et n'était réalisable que dans des laboratoires sophistiqués.
