Abstract: A method of operating a computer system, in particular a microcomputer having a storage device shared between several application programs, comprises a backup process including a process for maintaining a record of changes made to the data on the storage device whilst the backup process is executing. The record is used to ensure that the data seen by the backup process does not change while it is executing whilst allowing other processes to continue to update the storage device normally, thereby avoiding delays associated with file locking techniques. When a subsequent change is made to the same portion of data (28), the corresponding portion of the record is overwritten (32). The additional operations are executed at the level of the operating system interface of the microcomputer in such a manner that normal use of the computer is unaffected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A micro-object on the slide of a 2-channel microscope (2) with an objective (3) and an eyepiece (4) is illuminated by a coherent or non-coherent light source (1) and the intensity of the passing light is registered in the plane of the image (6) of the micro-object simultaneously at 2 or more points using a quadrature photo-diode (5), while the electric signals from the independent light sensitive areas of the photo-diode are subtracted. As a result, all in-phase noises, I.e. intensity fluctuations of the light source, are subtracted. Signals from movement of the micro-object or from its change of form are independent of these fluctuations and are not subtracted and the superimposition of the independent signals of the photo-diode increases the amplitude of the active signal. The dynamics of the micro-object are judged according to the Fourier spectrum of the difference electric signal.

Abstract: L'invention vise à créer une possibilité de contrôle dans un processeur de signaux numériques (1) pour permettre de savoir si ce processeur peut effectuer ses calculs, en mode en temps réel, à l'intérieur d'une période d'échantillonnage du signal numérique à traiter. A cet effet, il est prévu un compteur (2) qui est remis à zéro au début de chaque période d'échantillonnage. La valeur affichée au compteur est incrémentée ou décrémentée à un taux constant. A la fin d'un cycle de traitement, il est possible de constater si la valeur affichée au compteur a dépassé une valeur limite. Selon l'invention, il est ainsi possible, en cas de modifications du logiciel ou du matériel d'un processeur de signaux numériques de constater avant son utilisation définitive, si le processeur est en mesure de maîtriser la charge de calcul en mode en temps réel.

Abstract: Prostheses with artificial joints have only a few metallic and ceramic materials whose compatibility with human or animal tissue has been established. These materials, however, cannot be combined with one another in any manner if a friction pairing occurs as a result, for example, in the case of artificial joints. With artificial joints, joint partners are required to have good mechanical properties as well as tribological properties. According to the invention, a sintered material is thus provided which is comprised of zircon oxide with an addition of 0.1 to 40 wt. % aluminum oxide. This sintered material enables an artificial joint of a prosthesis whose other ceramic materials are comprised of aluminum oxide or zircon oxide with the given proportions of aluminum oxide to be assembled with joint partners.

Abstract: A computationally simple yet powerful forward error correction code scheme for transmission of real-time media signals, such as digitized voice, video or audio, in a packet switched network such as the Internet. An encoder at the sending end derives p redundancy blocks from each group of a k payload blocks and concatenates the redundancy blocks, respectively, with payload blocks in the next group of k payload blocks. At the receiving end, a decoder may recover up to p missing packets in a group of k packets, provided with the p redundancy blocks carried by the next group of k packets. The invention thereby enables correction from the loss of multiple packets in a row, without significantly increasing the data rate or otherwise delaying transmission.

Abstract: A poorly conducting thermal barrier coating applied on a superalloy substrate comprises a mixture of oxides consisting of a composition based on zirconia, 3-15 weight % of an oxide, preferably yttria, that stabilizes the zirconia, 0.5-12 weight % of an additional metallic element selected from Ni, Co, Fe or a mixture of Ni and/or Co and/or Fe, or their oxides, and 0.02-0.1 weight % C. The homogeneous oxide mixture is deposited on the substrate by electron beam evaporation of a bar having a composition consisting of the above thermal barrier coating composition. The mixture can also be applied by thermal or plasma spraying, (plasma-assisted) chemical vapor deposition. A sublayer of nickel-aluminum alloy containing at least one metal selected from Cr, precious metals of crude platinum , yttrium and rare earths can be interposed between the substrate and the oxide mixture layer. Preferably the sublayer has formula MCrAlY, where M = at least one metal selected from Ni, Co and Fe. Independent claims are given for: (a) a superalloy metal piece whose surface is coated at least in part with the thermal barrier; and (b) a process for deposition of the thermal barrier on a superalloy substrate. The deposition process involves (i) mixing and sintering into the form of a bar a mixture of powders of zirconia, a zirconia-stabilizing oxide, and an element selected from Ni, Co and Fe; (ii) introducing the body to into an EB-PVD chamber previously loaded with the bar; and (iii) creating a vacuum in the chamber, preheating the substrate, and focussing an electron beam on the bar in order to vaporize the elements present in the bar so that they condense onto the substrate.   In (i), mixing of the powders is achieved by using a binder comprising a solvent that is at least partially rich in carbon, preferably a polyvinyl alcohol. A thermally crackable, carbon precursor gas selected from methane, ethane, butane, propane, an alkene or alkyne, is introduced into the deposition chamber in the immediate vicinity of the substrate to be coated.

Abstract: Ce tube à rayons cathodiques comporte un canon à électrons capable de produire des faisceaux d'électrons. Des champs magnétiques externes, qui influencent les faisceaux d'électrons, altèrent la qualité de l'image. Une électrode du canon comporte une partie, faite d'un matériau faiblement ferromagnétique, qui s'étend transversalement aux faisceaux d'électrons et deux parties, à droite et à gauche des faisceaux d'électrons, qui s'étendent le long de ces faisceaux. Ces parties ont, de préférence, un couplage magnétique intense dans la mesure où elles sont reliées ou très proches les unes des autres. L'interaction du circuit magnétique formé par ces trois parties avec un champ magnétique externe est à l'origine d'une force de Lorentz s'exerçant sur les faisceaux d'électrons. Les déviations qui en résultent dans le trajet des faisceaux d'électrons compensent largement les déviations existant dans le trajet des faisceaux et provoquées par le champ magnétique externe entre le canon à électrons et l'écran.
