Patent EP-1265488-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AUDY STEPHANE
IPC: A23L3/358
Filed: 2001-03-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et appareils permettant de réduire la numération bactérienne d'une denrée alimentaire sans en affecter la qualité organoleptique générale (goût, odeur et couleur). Pour ce faire, on utilise un fluide de traitement comprenant de l'ozone, que l'on injecte dans la chambre de traitement renfermant la denrée alimentaire. Pour obtenir un meilleur contact entre l'ozone et le produit alimentaire, on ajoute, de préférence, de l'eau de manière à former une fine couche d'eau ozonée à la surface des aliments. De préférence, on peut également ajouter à l'eau des épices et/ou autres ingrédients. Le produit alimentaire est placé dans un cylindre tournant, que l'on met en mouvement. Pendant le traitement, on obtient un contact satisfaisant entre le fluide de traitement et la denrée alimentaire en faisant osciller de façon réversible ledit cylindre tournant. Par rapport aux techniques n'utilisant pas d'ozone, on peut ainsi obtenir une réduction logarithmique de la numération bactérienne supérieure ou égale à 40 %.

Inventor: TALLARIDA STEVEN J
IPC: A61M39/02
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un port d'hémodialyse comprenant un logement souple définissant un ou plusieurs ports. Chaque port possède une membrane sélectivement perméable, qui permet à des dispositifs médicaux tels que aiguilles de Huber, gaines et dilatateurs d'être introduits dans ledit port. A l'interface entre le logement et la membrane est prévu un ressort exerçant une force axiale sur la membrane, ce qui rend étanche la piqûre créée par lesdits dispositifs médicaux. Dans un mode de réalisation servant d'exemple, ce port d'accès pour hémodialyse comprend plusieurs ports destinés à des traitements d'hémodialyse multiples sur toute la durée de vie du port. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation servant d'exemple, le fond de chaque port peut comporter une pièce faisant office de butée pour l'aiguille, cette pièce étant constituée par exemple de métal, de titane, d'acier inoxydable ou de céramique.

Abstract: A navigation-satellite receiver support data network
comprises a server connected to the Internet to provide
initialization information to clients for faster cold starts.
The server includes a GPS receiver that provides for tracking
of a constellation of navigation satellites. When a client is
started cold, time and frequency are initially unknown to it.
Test messages are sent back and forth over the Internet and a
path delay time is computed from the average of the quickest
transit times. This yields the offset time between the
server's time system and the client's time system. The server
sends current time information to the client, and the computed
path delay is added. The client can then compute correct time
from the server and path delay information, and thereby select
much sooner which satellites are correct to search.

Abstract: A controller for controlling an air-fuel ratio of the engine is provided.
An exhaust gas sensor is provided between an upstream catalyst disposed
upstream of an exhaust pipe and a downstream catalyst disposed downstream
of the exhaust pipe. A virtual exhaust gas sensor is virtually provided
downstream of the downstream catalyst. After an operating state in which
the air-fuel is lean is cancelled, or after a fuel cut is cancelled, an output of the
virtual exhaust gas sensor is estimated based on a gas amount that
contributes to reduction of the upstream and downstream catalysts and an
output of the exhaust gas sensor provided between the upstream and
downstream catalysts. The air-fuel ratio of the engine is controlled in
accordance with the estimated output of the virtual exhaust gas sensor. Thus,
the catalyst converter is appropriately reduced in accordance with a load of the
engine and a state of the catalyst. When the reduction process is completed,
an adaptive air-fuel ratio control based on the output of the exhaust gas sensor
is started.

IPC: H01S3/102

Abstract: Commercially available optical fiber amplifiers have gain over a large optical
bandwidth, and for many applications, especially long distance fiber
communications, developing techniques to flatten the gain of EDFA's is
important. High gain amplifiers give rise to gain ripple and are thus more
difficult to flatten effectively and efficiently. The invention provides a method
of amplifying a signal in an optical fiber in an optical fiber amplifier having a
pre-determined operating temperature range, whereby the temperature of the
fiber in the pre-determined operating temperature range is maintained, and
the fiber has an optimal length so as to minimize gain ripple in the amplifier
over the operating temperature range. The invention also provides an optical
fiber amplifier having an optimal length of fiber, a heater (2) and a
temperature monitor (3) both coupled thermally to the fiber. The temperature
monitor is responsive to the temperature falling below the pre-determined
operating temperature range of the amplifier to energize the heater, and is
responsive to the temperature rising higher than the pre-determined
operating temperature range of the amplifier to de-energize the heater.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine (10) comprises a fan rotor (26) having
a plurality of fan blades (24) and an apparatus (34) for
detecting damage to the fan blades (24). The apparatus
(34) comprises a transducer (36) arranged to detect the
pressure in the gas flow around the fan blades (34) and to
produce a pressure signal. A speed sensor (48) is arranged
to measure the speed of rotation of the fan rotor (26) and
to produce a speed signal. A processor unit (40) analyses
the pressure signal and the speed signal to detect changes
in the amplitude of the pressure signal, which occur at
multiples of the rotational frequency of the fan rotor
(24). The changes indicate differences in pressure between
the gas flow around a damaged fan blade (24) and the gas
flow around the remainder of the fan blades (24). The
processor unit (40) sends a signal indicative of damage to
a fan blade (24), if the difference in pressure is above
the predetermined level, to an indicator device (44,46).
