Abstract: L'invention concerne un module membranaire et un procédé pour le traitement spécifique de substances contenues dans un fluide, ce module membranaire comportant un boîtier (1) pourvu d'un faisceau de membranes en fibres creuses (2) à paroi poreuse semi-perméable. Ces membranes en fibres creuses sont noyées, uniquement à leur première extrémité (3), dans une matière d'enrobage (4) tandis que leur deuxième extrémité (5) est sensiblement libre et peut être parcourue par un fluide. Les lumières (10) des membranes en fibres creuses (2) sont ouvertes au niveau de la deuxième extrémité (5) non enrobée et débouchent dans l'espace extérieur (10) entourant les membranes (2). Le fluide à traiter (6) est introduit, par l'intermédiaire d'un système d'admission (7), sur uniquement un des deux côtés (côté intérieur ou côté extérieur) des membranes en fibres creuses (2) et passe, sous forme de flux primaire, devant ce côté de telle manière qu'une partie traverse, sous forme de flux de perméat, la paroi pour parvenir à l'autre côté, le traitement spécifique des substances s'effectuant au niveau de ce flux de perméat. Après écoulement par la paroi, le flux de perméat est recueilli sur l'autre côté et réuni à nouveau avec le flux primaire dans l'espace extérieur (10). Le flux du fluide à traiter (12), issu du flux primaire et du flux de perméat réunis, est finalement extrait du boîtier (1) par l'intermédiaire d'un système d'évacuation (11).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour recouvrir un substrat (1) métallique à l'aide d'un matériau de revêtement thermoplastique. Ce procédé consiste à préchauffer le substrat de manière à l'amener, juste avant l'application du revêtement, à une température comprise entre 70 et 150 °C, de préférence, entre 100 et 130 °C dans le cas d'un revêtement à base de polypropylène et entre 80 et 110 °C dans le cas d'un revêtement à base de polyethylène. Ce procédé consiste également à coextruder, dans un premier poste d'application de revêtement, une feuille (6) comprenant une couche de couverture de polyoléfine et une couche d'adhésion de polyoléfine modifiée; à recouvrir le substrat (1) avec une feuille fondue en présence d'ozone, en la comprimant avec la couche d'adhésion contre la surface du substrat; à transporter la bande recouverte d'un côté à un deuxième poste d'application de revêtement et à chauffer la bande (9) pour que sa température, juste avant l'application du revêtement, se situe entre 70 et 130 °C, de préférence, entre 80 et 120 °C, si la couche de revêtement appliquée dans le premier poste est du polypropylène et entre 80 et 110 °C lorsque la couche de revêtement appliquée à ce point est du polyéthylène. Ce procédé consiste ensuite à recouvrir le substrat avec une feuille fondue extrudée dans le deuxième poste en la comprimant contre la surface non recouverte du substrat, en présence d'ozone; puis à chauffer le substrat jusqu'à ce que sa température soit supérieure au point de fusion des polyoléfines appliquées, et enfin à refroidir le substrat revêtu.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer software system that allows the developer of a speech-enabled system to create a grammar and corpus for use in the system. A table interface is used, and phrases in the grammar are entered into cells in the table. The table also includes token data which corresponds to each valid utterance. When the grammar is defined, the computer software system automatically traverses the table to enumerate all possible valid utterances in the grammar. This traversal generates a listing (corpus) of valid utterances and their respective tokens. This listing can then be used to interpret spoken utterances for a speech-enabled system. The computer software system also transcribes the grammar rules found in the table to a format compatible with a variety of supported commercially-available speech recognizers.

Abstract: A liquid-spraying rotor (1) is described, the purpose of which is to receive liquids and to fractionate this liquid into as small as possible particles and to generate a flow of gases in a direction. Especially, a rotor of the type suggested by the present invention has application in exhaust-gas washers, for instance, in garbage-burning installations. The invention proposes a rotor that avoids or minimizes the accumulation of residues on the side walls of a gas washer, while maintaining the effect of generating rising streams, besides providing a fractionation of a liquid into minute particles, so as to increase the area of contact among the fractionated particles of the washing liquid and the particles in suspension in a gas. The proposed rotor (1) comprises: a first group of flaps (5, 6) suitable for, in rotation, spraying a liquid that falls onto them and providing a flow of gases and sprayed liquid in axial direction; a second group of flaps (9) located radially more outward than the flaps of the first group (5, 6) and suitable for, in rotation, providing a flow of gases and sprayed liquid radially inwards. A gas washer (2) is equally proposed, which contains said rotor.

Abstract: The digital network modem has a built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mechanism for dynamically assigning network addresses to clients on the local network. To prevent confusion with a potentially existing DHCP server on the local network, an autosense mechanism is provided to detect the existence of a DHCP server and disable the internal, built-in DHCP mechanism. At power-on, the modem has no knowledge of clients on the local network, and the addresses in use are checked prior to operation. Addresses in use are placed in a list in a store of unknown addresses, and are not assigned to clients requesting DHCP addresses. When a DHCP client requests an address and has as its current address one of the addresses on the list, the current address is removed from the list. The list of unusable addresses is thus minimized and the same address will not be used for two clients.

Abstract: A computer program providing an output which is used to profile one or more operational characteristics of another computer program. The computer program being evaluated is defined by a group of events. In order to provide a user with a useful way to evaluate the performance of the computer program under evaluation, data is gathered corresponding to one or more of the group of events. A path map is constructed from the gathered event data in which the path map represents program operation performance relationships between the gathered events, and the path map is arranged in order of execution. The output is created based on the path map. The output is presented in such a manner that a user can quickly evaluate the performance of the program under evaluation. This is accomplished by presenting event data in a form which shows a logical programmatic flow along with a scaled representation of the quantity of times a measured event occurred along with a scaled representation of the duration of each measured event. Other statistical data can be analyzed and used as the basis for the output. The event data is gathered such that there is little effect on the performance of the program being evaluated.
