Abstract: La présente invention concerne un article de distribution, permettant notamment la distribution de lingettes. Cet article comprend un corps de conteneur (2), qui permet de stocker les lingettes, ainsi qu'un couvercle (4), qui est relié de manière articulée audit corps (2). Le conteneur est constitué d'un panneau de fond (6), de panneaux latéraux gauche (8) et droit (10), de panneaux avant (12) et arrière (14) et d'un panneau de dessus (16). Ledit panneau de dessus (16) comprend une partie de fermeture hermétique (18) présentant une ouverture de distribution (24). Cette partie de fermeture hermétique (18) est bombée vers l'extérieur, s'éloignant du fond (6). Un système d'obturation (26), qui fait saillie vers le bas et se trouve sur la surface intérieure du couvercle (4), s'engage, en position fermée, à l'intérieur de l'ouverture de distribution (24), formant un joint d'étanchéification avec celle-ci.

IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dissipateur thermique et un dispositif à dissipateur thermique comportant ledit dissipateur thermique. Le dissipateur thermique est constitué d'une pluralité de plaques fines de dissipateur thermique, et les plaques individuelles de dissipateur thermique sont reliées les unes aux autres de sorte à être espacées de manière radiale, afin d'agrandir la surface du dissipateur thermique et d'augmenter son efficacité pour dissiper la chaleur. Dans le dispositif à dissipateur thermique, le dissipateur thermique est placé dans un conduit d'air, dans lequel un ventilateur propulse de l'air frais, afin d'augmenter encore l'efficacité au niveau de la dissipation de chaleur. La force de liaison s'exerçant du dissipateur de chaleur vers la source génératrice de chaleur peut être maintenue de manière élastique, ce qui permet au dissipateur de chaleur de rester relié à la source génératrice de chaleur, même après un choc venant de l'extérieur. En outre, en coupant une partie supérieure de la plaque du dissipateur thermique, les lignes de pliage de la plaque du dissipateur thermique se trouvent raccourcies de sorte que les parties d'absorption de chaleur des plaques du dissipateur thermique empilées les unes sur les autres, soient étroitement jointes pour former un dissipateur thermique avec une force réduite. Le dissipateur thermique résultant présente un renfoncement au centre de sa surface supérieure. Cette structure permet à l'air frais propulsé par le ventilateur d'atteindre le centre du fond du dissipateur thermique, de sorte à améliorer ainsi l'efficacité au niveau de la dissipation de la chaleur. Ceci permet également de réduire les vibrations et le bruit provoqués par la circulation d'air frais sur les parties de dissipation de chaleur du dissipateur thermique.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour minimiser les erreurs de fréquence d'un oscillateur, il suffit de caractériser le milieu dans lequel ledit oscillateur fonctionne. A cet effet, un dispositif électronique surveille des paramètres dont on a déterminé qu'ils ont un effet sur la précision, en termes de fréquence, de la source de fréquence interne. La température est l'un des paramètres connus pour avoir un effet sur la fréquence de la source de fréquence et le premier appareil contribuant à la température du dispositif est l'amplificateur de puissance RF. Le dispositif électronique mesure et enregistre donc le niveau d'activité dudit amplificateur de puissance. Il calcule également le cycle de service effectif de l'amplificateur de puissance sur une période prédéterminée. Ainsi, pour stabiliser le milieu de fonctionnement de l'oscillateur local, il suffit, lorsque l'oscillateur local doit fonctionner en mode haute stabilité, de faire fonctionner l'amplificateur de puissance conformément au cycle de service calculé.

Title: Ecran tactile acoustique possedant un reseau de reflecteurs a guidage d'onde
Inventor: KENT JOEL
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2001-04-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un écran tactile (1a) acoustique qui possède des transducteurs (23a, 23b) de transmission destinés à générer des signaux acoustiques qui sont défléchis à travers une région tactile (2) par un réseau (13) d'éléments (14) de réflexion partiellement acoustiques. Une pression sur la région tactile entraîne une perturbation dans les signaux acoustiques. Après avoir traversé la région tactile, ces signaux acoustiques sont redirigés par un autre réseau (13) d'éléments (14) de réflexion partiellement acoustiques, en direction des transducteurs (26a, 26b), où ces signaux sont détectés (ainsi que toutes les perturbations). Pour s'adapter aux écrans tactiles à zones de bordure étroites (15a), ces signaux acoustiques sont propagés à travers les zones de bordure à l'aide de guides d'onde (18) acoustiques. Le guide d'onde canalise les signaux acoustiques dans un trajet de largeur étroite, mais il permet néanmoins une déflexion de ces signaux à travers la région tactile. Les transducteurs et les éléments de réflexion peuvent ainsi à leur tour posséder une structure étroite et ils peuvent s'adapter dans ces zones de bordure étroites.
