Abstract: The procedure consists of using an automatic cleaning mechanism (2, 3, 4) which is applied to the staircase while it is in motion, so that both the riser and tread of each stair is cleaned. The staircase is set in motion in a downward direction during the cleaning operation so that the cleaning mechanism is able to make use of gravity as it is suspended over the stairs from a fixed transverse member (8) joined to the fixed part of the staircase beneath its handrails and made in the form of a telescopic cylinder or a bar with end clamps which fit over the handrails. The cleaning mechanism includes a rotary brush (2), a sprayer (3) for a cleaning solution and a scraper (4) with a suction unit to remove the dirt. It also has a pump, a suction source, and containers for the liquid to be sprayed and recovered. <IMAGE>

Inventor: DELACOURT DOMINIQUE
IPC: H01S3/109
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: The appts. includes a laser diode, two dichroic mirrors (M1,M2), and a non-linear medium. The laser diode emits a wave through the first inclined mirror (M1), the medium and the second return mirror (M2). The mirrors are highly transparent to the emitted wavelength and highly reflective to the wave of half the wavelength. The second mirror introduces a phase shift, x, in the harmonic wave and a phase shift, y, in the pump wave such that mod(2x-y)=PI. The tuning is ensured by the medium's birefringence or by the periodic spacial modulation of a physical property of the medium. The source may emit in the near infra-red at 860 nm and the medium be a waveguide of lithium titanate, potassium titanium phosphate or lithium niobate integrated with the mirrors.

Date Aug. 3, 1995In a method for composting organic material, the material to be composted is placed, in disintegrated form, in a container. The material to be composted is introduced into the inner, lower part of an accumulation of disintegrated material which was previously introduced into the container. The material introduced into the container is then degraded biologically in zones which, are moved upwards as additional disintegrated material is being introduced into the container. Finally composted material is withdrawn from the upper part of the accumulation of material. A device for carrying out the method has a container and a material feed unit.

Title: Procede et dispositif de protection de cellules solaires contre des points chauds
Inventor: REAL MARKUS
IPC: H02S50/00
Filed: 1995-05-26
Abstract: Un procédé de protection de cellules solaires contre un échauffement excessif dû à un obscurcissement partiel permet de détecter l'état d'obscurcissement et de réduire le courant qui traverse les cellules solaires jusqu'à une valeur sûre. L'invention propose quatre procédés de détection de ce type de situation, connue sous le nom de point chaud, dans une cellule solaire faisant partie d'une rangée de cellules solaires: comparaison entre les tensions dans des cellules obscurcies et non obscurcies d'une rangée, comparaison entre le courant dans la rangée et le courant d'une ou plusieurs cellules pilote, mesure de la température sur la face postérieure des cellules solaires et/ou mesure de l'augmentation de la température dans des diodes de dérivation qui en présence de points chauds sont traversées par le courant et par conséquent s'échauffent. Le signal de détection généré par un ou plusieurs de ces procédés peut être utilisé en tant que signal d'avertissement et de réglage pour signaler des points chauds au système d'exploitation. Il peut toutefois surtout être utilisé pour réduire le courant dans les cellules solaires jusqu'à une valeur sûre et pour empêcher les cellules solaires obscurcies de chauffer jusqu'à une température inadmissible. Ce nouveau procédé permet d'éviter la destruction de cellules solaires par des points chauds sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser des diodes coûteuses de dérivation ni de refroidir de façon coûteuse les diodes de dérivation.

Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator is drivingly deformed from an initial condition for a time (T1) in a direction, in which an inner volume of an ink chamber is increased, to supply ink to the ink chamber. Subsequently, the piezoelectric actuator is drivingly deformed for a time (T2) at a considerably slow speed as compared with the time (T1) for the preceding supply of ink to gradually increase the inner volume of the ink chamber to supply ink to the ink chamber. During the time (T2), free vibration having generated in ink in the piezoelectric actuator and the ink chamber attenuates. Subsequently, the piezoelectric actuator is rapidly and drivingly deformed to compress the ink chamber, thereby jetting ink in the ink chamber via nozzle holes.

Abstract: A sign language telephone device is offered which
enables an aurally handicapped person who uses the sign
language to converse with a normal person at a distant
place who does not know the sign language. The sign
language telephone device is placed on the side of the
aurally handicapped person, and hand gestures of the sign
language inputted from a sign language input means are
recognized as the sign language, and the recognized sign
language is translated to Japanese. The translated
Japanese word train is converted to synthesized voices and
it is transmitted to a videophone on the side of a normal
person. The voices from the videophone are recognized, and
the recognized Japanese is translated to the sign language
to generate sign language animations and they are displayed
on the screen of a TV set on the side of the aurally
handicapped person. According to the present invention, it
is made possible for an aurally handicapped person to have
conversation easily with a normal person at a distant place

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de balayage et d'évaluation des caractéristiques topographiques superficielles d'un objet translucide tel qu'un fruit faisant partie des agrumes, avec son écorce, afin d'en permettre la classification en fonction des caractéristiques superficielles. Dans le cas des agrumes, la rugosité ou le caractére granuleux, le bombement et les plis, les arêtes et les renfoncements, les coupures, les trous, les écorchures et les fissures et la pourriture claire ou aigre de l'écorce sont identifiés par des moyens optiques, grâce à l'analyse numérique du balayage des pixels, et ils sont triés en fonction de la qualité de surface de l'écorce. On classe l'objet en séparant l'image du fruit obtenue par balayage de l'image de fond et en éliminant cette dernière. Une évaluation statistique de l'image de l'objet pris comme un tout, incluant ses deux hémisphères, est effectuée pour savoir s'il y a une variation des caractéristiques de la surface qui pourrait être considérée comme un défaut ou constituer un fondement approprié sur lequel un jugement de classification pourrait être émis. Si c'est le cas, l'image de l'objet subit un filtrage haute fréquence ou passe-bas avec application d'un seuil aux intensités des pixels, afin d'en déduire une image affinée. L'image affinée est ensuite tabulée ou organisée en zones voisines contigües de transitions tranchées ou progressives, pour identifier des zones particulières définies en tant que taches qui, lorsqu'on les compare à une surface minimume donnée, une exigence sur la forme et/ou une largeur, peuvent être identifiées comme l'une des imperfections superficielles recherchées.
