Patent EP-0890091-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAYE PAUL HENRY
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 1997-03-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé, permettant de détecter et de caractériser rapidement des microparticules transportées en suspension dans un fluide et ayant habituellement une taille dans la plage allant de 0,3 νm à 100 νm. Le procédé est, en premier lieu, destiné à la mesure de particules atmosphériques telles que celles présentes dans les nuages et dans des aérosols dans l'environnement, mais il peut également être utilisé pour analyser d'autres formes de suspensions particulaires, chaque fois que l'on peut définir un débit d'une suspension, dans un espace de mesure défini. Le procédé est basé sur une analyse rapide du profil spatial de la dispersion d'un faisceau laser (c'est-à-dire de la manière complexe dont les particules individuelles dispersent la lumière laser) observée avec des particules individuelles, entraînées en suspension dans l'espace de mesure. En utilisant ce procédé, il est possible de distinguer entre différents types de particules sur la base de leur forme et de leur structure, qui se manifestent par des motifs spécifiques dans la dispersion spatiale de la lumière. On peut déterminer la taille des particules sphériques et la taille sphérique équivalente de particules non sphériques, ainsi que la répartition granulomérique de chaque type de particule de la suspension. On décrit une mise en oeuvre du procédé dans le cas d'un instrument monté à bord d'un aéronef.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des articles absorbants pourvus de rabats latéraux, et plus particulièrement des serviettes hygiéniques, ces rabats étant munis d'éléments permettant de faire tenir les articles sur la culotte de l'utilisatrice. L'élasticité, qui se répartit partiellement au moins dans le sens de la longueur, exerce une force en contraction faisant que l'article absorbant s'incurve, et s'adapte ainsi plus facilement à l'anatomie de l'utilisatrice. En outre, grâce à l'élasticité, les rabats suivent les mouvements d'extension et de contraction des ourlets d'entrejambe de la culotte de l'utilisatrice, ce qui fait que les rabats tiennent sur la culotte de façon plus sûre.

Abstract: The invention relates to Internet service in a digital mobile communication network by means of short message service. For this purpose the short message service centre (SC) is connected to the Internet network and uses the HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP protocols towards the Internet network. Short messages are transferred between the short message service centre (SC) and mobile stations (MS) in the usual manner. The user submits to the service centre a short message containing a criterion identifying the desired information. The short message centre or said other equipment sets up a connection to the desired server via the Internet network in order to inquire information identified by the criterion received from the mobile station, such as a keyword. The Internet server responses to the inquiry by providing and sending information identified by the criterion.

Title: Belt tightener for a safety belt system
Inventor: WIER FRANZ
IPC: B60R22/46
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: The invention concerns a belt tightener, in particular a lock tightener for a vehicle passenger restraint system, the belt tightener comprising a housing, a gas generator, a working chamber (15) into which flows the pressure gas released in the event of restraint, a piston part (9) which can be displaced by the pressure gas in the working chamber (15), a belt-engagement device and a traction-transmission device (7) which connects the belt-engagement device to the piston part (9). A guide system (21), which is provided in the working chamber such that said system is rigid with the housing, guides the pressure gas flow away from the traction-transmission device (7) and prevents the pressure gas which flows out of the gas generator from flowing directly to the traction-transmission device (7). As a result, the thermal stress on the traction-transmission device (7) is less than with conventional belt tighteners.

Title: Fluid induction and heat exchange device
Inventor: OTIS MICHAEL TRACY
IPC: F28F13/06
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: A device for increasing heat transfer and reducing suspended vapor within a fluid. The inventive device includes a main body (12) having at least one pair of conduits (18, 20) positionable into communication with a fluid or refrigerant line. A radial diffuser (22) effects plating or coating of fluid entering the main body onto the interior walls thereof to increase heat transfer. A radial infuser (26) receives collected fluid and directs the fluid into a containment chamber (44) within the main body. A rotational turbulence inducer (28) agitates the fluid as it exits the main body for increasing heat transfer between the fluid and the conduit. Alternative forms of the invention include a turbine (72) mounted within the containment chamber (44) for extracting rotational torque from movement of fluid through the device, and a lower main body (76) having a pair of selectively valved radial infusers (96, 104) permitting reverse flow through the device.

Abstract: An autonomous control system supports autonomous operation of
the a spacecraft in carrying out mission objective commands. The
control system also provides autonomous fault detection, isolation
and recovery. Performance problems and anomalies are detected and
accounted for in the carrying out mission objectives. A mission
manager module analyzes all incoming mission objective commands to
verify that sufficient system resources are available and not
already dedicated to other pending mission objective commands. A
command processor is included to translate acceptable mission
objective commands into lower level command sequences for delivery
to a flight manager controlling the underlying spacecraft systems.
The mission manager reanalyzes all pending mission objective
commands whenever unexpected performance or fault conditions are
detected. The mission objective commands can be constructed in a
hierarchical fashion, with many sequences predefined within the
spacecraft. All portions of the autonomous control system,
including software and associated data, can be readily replaced,
supplemented or disabled at any time before, during or after
launch.

Abstract: A spark plug (1) comprises a center electrode (5),
an insulator (3), a metallic shell (2), and a ground
electrode (6). The center electrode (5) comprises a body
portion (12) having a cylindrical peripheral surface and a
front-end-side opposing face (11) opposed in generally
parallel to a side face of the ground electrode (6), and a
protruding portion (15) which is protruded from the front-end-side
opposing face (11) at a position decentered
toward one side opposite to the ground electrode (6) with
respect to a center axis line of the body portion (12) and
which has a top face (14) formed generally parallel to the
side face of the ground electrode (6). Then, given a
length D of a line segment formed by an intersection that
an imaginary plane including the center axis line of the
body portion (12) and a center axis line of the ground
electrode (6) intersects the front-end-side opposing face
(11), and a protruding height h to which the protruding
portion (15) protrudes from the front-end-side opposing
face (11), a value of h/D is set to not less than 0.2. As
a result, mixed air can be smoothly fed to around a spark
discharge gap g, and moreover the flame extinction
phenomenon becomes unlikely to occur. Thus, a spark plug
superior in ignitability can be realized.
