Abstract: L'invention concerne une barrière (20) pour véhicule, construite de manière à minimiser les possibilités pour cette barrière de venir s'encastrer sous un véhicule l'ayant percutée. A cet effet, on prévoit de larges espaces sur cette barrière de sorte que celle-ci reste accrochée à une partie du véhicule, ce qui n'aurait pas été possible avec une barrière munie d'un «treillis» très dense. Les différents éléments (28A, 28B, 30A, 30B) de la barrière destinés à relier ces espaces sont assemblés à certains angles de sorte qu'un pneu du véhicule touchant ladite barrière ne peut rebondir sur un élément donné ou ricocher d'un élément à l'autre, ce qui amènerait la barrière à s'encastrer sous le véhicule ou entraînerait celui-ci à franchir la barrière. A l'inverse, avec la barrière de cette invention les pneus finissent en contact avec les espaces, ce qui empêche la barrière de venir s'encastrer sous ledit véhicule.

Title: Disque compact audio protege contre la copie et son procede et systeme de fabrication
Inventor: BRODY MOSHE
IPC: G10L25/51
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un disque compact protégé contre la copie et sur son procédé de fabrication. Ce disque compact est protégé de sorte que ni la reproduction correcte de l'original, ni l'exécution de la protection contre la copie ne dépendent de l'utilisation d'un équipement spécifique. Un bruit latent structuré est incorporé dans un CD audio numérique en réécrivant certains symbole des données de signaux audio d'origine avec des valeurs grossièrement erronées, et en réécrivant ensuite les symboles de contrôle de parité correspondant de manière à créer une erreur incorrigible dans les mots de code contenant les valeurs erronées. Un lecteur de CD ordinaire tel qu'un disque détectera donc chaque occurrence d'une valeur de bruit latent sous forme d'une erreur incorrigible et appliquera la dissimulation d'erreur interpolatrice pour prévenir la sortie de l'erreur. En choisissant de manière appropriée les emplacements de réécriture des valeurs erronées de sorte que la valeur interpolée soit pratiquement identique à la valeur originale, la sortie sonore résultante provenant du lecteur de CD correspondra à celle du signal audio d'origine afin qu'un lecteur audio ordinaire de CD reproduise correctement le signal audio d'origine à partir du disque protégé sans superposition de bruit. Toutefois, la plupart des unités de CD-ROM disponibles dans le commerce pour les ordinateurs n'utilisent pas la dissimulation d'erreur lors de la lecture d'un disque compact comme source de données. En fonction du logiciel de copie utilisé pour ces unités de CD-ROM, lorsqu'une erreur incorrigible est détectée, soit aucune données n'est lue à partir du disque, soit seules les données non corrigées brutes sont lues. Ainsi, soit des parties importantes du disque original ne pourront être copiées du fait des erreurs incorrigibles, soit les données brutes non corrigées de l'original seront copiées, ce qui générera un bruit audible sur la copie non autorisée. Pour empêcher le copiage non autorisé via des unités de CD-ROM qui utilisent la dissimulation d'erreur, des modifications seront faites sur le mode du canal Q et/ou la CRC afin d'invalider la capacité de l'unité de CD-ROM à rechercher la position désirée des données.

Abstract: The invention relates to a free-piston unit for pumping fluid from a low pressure to a high pressure. The free piston is displaced by a hydraulic part under the influence of the fluid pressure on a plunger which is connected to a combustion piston. The force exerted on the plunger by the fluid pressure in a pressure chamber during the compression stroke can be set using conversion means by setting a third pressure for fluid which is to be displaced via a pressure chamber from the first fluid source to the second fluid source.

Abstract: A fiber Bragg grating peak detection system has a broadband source, a fiber Bragg grating and a variable threshold and/or grating profile peak detection unit. The fiber Bragg grating responds to the broadband optical signal, and further responds to a physical parameter. During the variable threshold peak detection, the variable threshold or grating profile peak detection unit determines a respective local threshold value for each wavelength over a spectral band of the fiber Bragg grating optical signal. During the grating profile peak detection, the detection unit determines a grating profile on each side of the peak.

Inventor: PATTULLO GEORGE M
IPC: F02M37/20
Filed: 2001-01-08
Abstract: A method of reducing gaseous phase presence in the liquid fuel metering
chamber of a diaphragm by providing a "High-Point Pick Up" hole positioned in the
optimal metering chamber location (highest) to assure maximum purge evacuation of air
and/or other gases prior to engine start-up and during running. This optimal location is
dependent upon first determining, in advance of carburetor fuel feed circuitry and/or air
purge system design, the orientation of the carburetor as mounted on the engine in its
primary operator usage position, or so-called "standard operating position" (SOP). This
SOP in turn is determined in the first instance by the engine manufacturer and/or the
manufacturer of the portable engine-driven handheld appliance on which the engine is
mounted. In one embodiment the two typical fluid circuits (air purge and normal
idle/high speed fuel feed circuits) share a common, sole take-off inlet opening into the
metering chamber, the same being located at the highest elevation point in the metering
chamber in the given SOP orientation. This assures that the maximum amount of air
and/or fuel vapor is removed from the metering chamber during purging prior to start-up
and during running. In accordance with the invention, the primary usage position (SOP
orientation) of the engine is determined and becomes a known use parameter prior to the
carburetor manufacturer determining such take-off hole location. Both butterfly valve
cubic carburetor and rotary valve carburetor embodiments are disclosed embodying the
invention.

Abstract: A severe service valve positioner (100) for switching the position of a valve is designed to
operate safely in potentially explosive environments. The severe service valve positioner (100)
includes a housing (110); a service cartridge (105), including an electronics compartment and an
electro-pneumatic compartment (115), wherein the service cartridge (105) is completely modular and
detachable from the housing (110); an electronics compartment, including a potentiometer (315)
having a lockable setting and a reduction gear (505,510) for locking the potentiometer (315) into place
and for increasing the accuracy of a measurement of the angular displacement of the
potentiometer (315) with respect to an initial position; an electro-pneumatic compartment (115),
including a current-to-pressure converter known as an I/P motor, which is
environmentally segregated from the electronics compartment (105); a pressure sensor
assembly (320) which is environmentally segregated from the service cartridge; and a field
termination (120) assembly. The environmental segregation of the electronics compartment,
the electro-pneumatic component (115), the pressure sensor assembly (320), and the field
termination assembly (120) serves a safety function in potentially hazardous (e.g., spark-generating)
environments. The modularity and detachability of the service cartridge (105)
enables it to be removed from the valve positioner quickly and easily for service or
routine maintenance.

Abstract: The present invention partitions the EPG, allowing storage of portions of the
EPG in separate memory components. Based on viewer preferences, the invention
identifies preferred portions of the EPG and stores these portions in the more rapid
memory. The more rapid memory can be electronic, or RAM. The invention
partitions the EPG into at least three portions: the channel portion, the schedule
portion and the program portion. The invention further divides each portion into a
subportion (or submodule) including only preferred data. The invention updates the
information stored in the memory module having the most rapid access. The
invention also detects infrequently accessed portions of the EPG stored in the most
rapid memory and moves the infrequently accessed portions to memory with slower
access. The memory with slower access can be magnetic, or a hard drive. Storing
only preferred portions of a program guide in memory having rapid access maintains
the speed of access to the preferred portions of the EPG and increases the amount of
available memory with rapid access.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (100) (ADC) includes a dither signal
generator (107) configured to add an analog dither signal (114) to the analog input

either signal is selected based upon the power levels of one or more carriers present in
