Abstract: In its center part, between its free end (40) and its angled n' transition to the interval join (36), the cutting part (34) of the tool is narrower (b) than at the transition itself (c) and at the far end (d). This part (34) has a blade (44) standing concave to the first receiving hole (18) and supplemented by a second blade (46) set convex to the receiving hole (18). Variants to this include a second straight and slightly convex blade or again a first straight and slightly convex blade to work with the second convex blade. The cutting part (34) has a point (42) at its end (40) and is designed so the radial distance (a) from blade (44) to the hole (18) center (48) increases steadily from the transition point (38) to the outer end (40).

IPC: H04L12/10

Abstract: A network [10] for connecting a plurality of devices [11] and the components
includes at least one fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] for connecting the devices [11] to
each other. The fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] includes a controller [54, 110, 220],
a top port [212] and a plurality of downstream ports [202]. The controller [54, 110, 220]
monitors messages received by the ports and generates messages that are sent via the ports.
The network [10] also includes a plurality of network cables [14], one per port. The
network [10] utilizes a cabling system that includes twisted pairs for communicating the
messages via the Ethernet protocol and power conductors for distributing power to the
various network devices [11]. The fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] includes one
power component [121-123, 204] associated with each of the ports. Each power component
[121-123, 204] provides connections between the power lines in the network cable [14] and
the ports of the fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200]. The power components [121-123,
204] are used to power the devices [11] on the network [10] and to monitor the power lines
for problems. Switching circuitry in the power components [121-123, 204] allows the fan-out
device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] to isolate cable runs connected thereto that have shorts or
other problems. The fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] preferably stores a device
identification number that the controller [54, 110, 220] transmits on all of the ports in
response to a message received on one of the downstream ports [202]. The controller [54,
110, 220] also generates a signal on the top port [212] that causes any device [11] connected
to the fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] via the top port [212] to ignore the message.
The fan-out device [13, 20, 50, 100, 200] may provide a hub that is transparent to Ethernet
protocols while not introducing the jitter into the signals associated with the re-transmission
and synchronization functions performed by conventional hubs.

Inventor: HENRY PIERRE
IPC: D06B11/00
Filed: 1999-06-04
Abstract: The yarn space dyeing operation applies dyestuffs of different colors at intervals to the moving yarns. The dyes are applied at successive stations in short bursts in cycles or in a pseudo-random action. The yarns are brought into contact with the dyestuffs, by movement of the dye baths. The operating unit (2) gives a linear or pseudo-linear movement to the dye baths at the applicator (1). The applicator (1) is a jet, turbine or spray with a guide to determine the size of the dye bath jet. Each operating unit (2), to determine the bath movement, has a blade (3) fitted to the shaft of a linear movement unit (4) to divert the jet stream to a lower receptacle (6). A guide (5) sets the size of the jet of the dye bath. The cyclic or random action can be through a control fitted to a distorting member such as a twin strip which is tripped to give a deflection action on the jet unit. The trip action can be through a piezo electric activator. The swing axis of the movement is parallel to the jet and the plan of the yarns being dyed, for the displacement action as a screen parallel to the dye bath. The linear or pseudo-linear activator is at right angles to the screen or parallel to it, with a lever for positioning which is an extension of the screen or is at right angles to it. An additional activator works in the opposite direction to the first activator (2) system to give the linear or pseudo-linear movements. Two moving blades can be used, to seal off the outlet of the jet while the dye flow is interrupted, with a separate linear or pseudo-linear movement activator to control each blade individually. The applicator can have a dyestuff jet and an air jet, with separate controls to open and close them. The linear movement units (4) are linear electric motors, piezo electric units or electromagnetic systems. They can have a mechanical movement enhancement, or not, and can be controlled wholly, or not at all, or in a proportional mode.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un modulateur (210) et un démodulateur (310) en quadrature qui permettent d'obtenir un niveau requis de performances en réduisant au minimum la consommation de courant. Dans le modulateur (210) en quadrature, les signaux I et Q parviennent à deux paires de mélangeurs. Chaque mélangeur d'une paire de mélangeurs module un signal I ou Q à l'aide de la sinusoïde FI respective en phase ou en quadrature. Les signaux modulés I et Q provenant de chaque paire de mélangeurs sont additionnés. Les signaux provenant des additionneurs parviennent à une troisième paire de mélangeurs et sont modulés à l'aide des sinusoïdes HF respectives en phase ou en quadrature. Les signaux provenant de la troisième paire de mélangeurs sont additionnés et fournis comme signal modulé. A l'aide de cette topologie de modulateur (210) en quadrature, l'équilibre d'amplitude et l'erreur de phase du signal modulé sont rendus insensibles au déséquilibre d'amplitude et/ou à l'erreur de phase des diviseurs en quadrature utilisés pour produire les sinusoïdes FI et HF. De plus, comme les deux premières paires de mélangeurs et les deux paires subséquentes d'additionneurs fonctionnent à des fréquences FI, les conditions nécessaires (p. ex. largeur de bande et linéarité) aux performances de ces éléments peuvent être assurées avec une consommation de courant réduite. Le concept de l'invention peut en outre être adapté à un démodulateur (310) en quadrature.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for permanently joining two or more metallic vehicle frame components using magnetic impulse welding techniques. The vehicle frame may include a pair of similar or dissimilar tubular side rail members in multiple sections joined together by a plurality of transversely extending tubular of "C" or "U" shaped cross members. A plurality of similar or dissimilar material brackets are joined to the side rails and/or cross members to facilitate the attachment of other portions of the vehicle to the vehicle frame. These components are joined via an overlap joint between two individual side rail sections, a cross member section and a side rail section, or a bracket and a side rail section or a cross member section. The first component and the second component, if tubular side rails, are sized so that they may be disposed telescopically with clearance. Similarly, the first component and second component, if a cross member/side rail, a bracket/cross member, or a bracket/side rail combination are sized and/or positioned so that some clearance exists between the components. An electromagnetic coil is provided for generating a magnetic field that causes the first component and the second component to move toward one another. Portions of the electromagnetic coil are disposed on either side of the side rail sections. A first end of the electromagnetic coil is connected through a switch to a first side of a capacitor, while a second end of the electromagnetic coil is connected directly to a second side of the capacitor. A source of electrical energy is provided for selectively charging the capacitor to store a quantity of electrical energy. By closing the switch, electrical energy is passed from the capacitor through the electromagnetic coil. Consequently, an intense electromagnetic field is generated about the first and second components. This force causes the first and second components to move toward each other at great velocities, when they meet, the large pressures produced on impact cause the first and second components to weld or molecularly bond.
