Patent EP-0372127-A1 (EP)
Title: Beam exposure determining method and apparatus
Inventor: L ESPERANCE FRANCIS A
IPC: A61F9/01
Filed: 1988-11-30
Abstract: For modulating the exposure of a surface to be ablated to an ablative radiation beam so that the surface is ablated to a predetermined curvature profile, the invention proposes the imposition into the beam path of a member opaque to and ablatable by the ablative radiation and having a thickness profile corresponding to the required curvature profile of the surface which is to be ablated. The thickness profile of the inserted member determines the amount of beam flux that will be incident upon specific areas of the surface to be ablated within a predetermined beam exposure time span, thinner areas of the inserted member producing more rapid breakthrough of the ablative radiation than thicker areas and correspondingly producing greater exposure times at the surface to be ablated. The invention is particularly useful in ophthalmological surgery of the anterior corneal surface, though it has wider application, and encompasses the provision of a range of differently shaped beam inserted selectable by an ophthalmic surgeon to achieve a required curvature correction operation to suit a specific eye malfunction condition.

IPC: B41M5/035
Filed: 1988-09-14
Abstract: La feuille de transfert thermique ci-décrite (10) se caractérise en ce qu'une couche (3) recevant une image, composée d'une résine pouvant être teinte, est unie de manière à pouvoir se détacher par pelage à une couche de colorant à transfert thermique (2) à la surface d'une feuille de support (1). Avant ou en même temps que le transfert thermique du colorant, la couche (3) recevant l'image est transférée sur la surface d'un matériau, après quoi le colorant est transféré thermiquement sur la couche transférée recevant l'image. On obtient ainsi une image de grande qualité par transfert thermique indépendamment du type de matériau récepteur ou des conditions de la surface réceptrice.

Abstract: A remotely addressable star distributor for television signals includes a first input which can be connected to a line carrying television signals, and a number of outputs each of which can be connected to a subscriber line, each output being associated with a controllable switching means which establishes or interrupts a RF link between the first input and this output as determined by control commands supplied. To supply a number of subscribers optionally with television programs from different sources, the star distributor has a second input (E2) which can be supplied with television signals from another source. Each switching means are capable of optionally connecting the associated output (A1, A2, ... A8) to the first input (E1) or to the second input (E2) or separating the associated output from both inputs (E1, E2). Each switching means is associated with an adjustable addressing chip which selects and supplies to the switching means certain coded control commands from a stream of coded control commands. The various sources of television signals can be a communal antenna system and the access point of a broadband cable communications network. The control commands are generated by a controller for a plurality of subscribers. <IMAGE>

IPC: F27D27/00
Filed: 1989-05-17
Abstract: The invention provides a new stirring apparatus for stirring the liquid metal contents of a furnace, particularily the shallow furnaces used in the processing of aluminum and its alloys. The apparatus consists of a reservoir separate from the furnace of relatively large horizontal cross-section and volume, into which a vaccuum draws metal from the furnace through a nozzle, the metal then being returned by gas pressure forcibly into the furnace through the nozzle in the form of a horizontally directed jet. The cycle is repeated at sufficiently close intervals to ensure that the furnace bath is quickly and effectively mixed. The nozzle directs the molten metal entering the reservoir tangentially to swirl the metal and reduce the accumulation of dross. The reservoir comprises a bottom static part including the nozzle and a readily removable top cover carrying heaters for heating the reservoir interior and the dross that deposits on the side wall to ease its removal. The cover also carries level control electrodes, an observation port, inlet ports, etc. A pressure disturbance monitor connected to the resevoir interior is used for lower level control by detecting undesired bubbling of the pressurizing gas into the metal, and can also be used to monitor the pressure reversals between vacuum and pressurisation phases. The cycles of vaccuum and pressure are controlled in a manner that maximizes the quantity of metal entering the reservoir so as to obtain the maximum stirring effect.

Abstract: Dans le procédé décrit, qui permet de déterminer la position d'au moins deux rubans sismiques (S1, S2) dans un système séismométrique à réflexion, on utilise des mesures de distances hydroacoustiques qui sont prises au moyen d'émetteurs/récepteurs acoustiques placés dans des bateaux (1), des bouées (8), des flotteurs (5), des sources séismiques (2) et dans les rubans séismiques (S1, S2). On détermine des positions de référence absolues au moyen d'un équipement de détermination de position disposé en deux endroits au moins, par exemple sur un bateau ou sur un flotteur (5). Les émetteurs/récepteurs acoustiques et l'équipement de détermination de position forment une structure tridimensionnelle. Selon la présente invention, la détermination des positions s'effectue par trilatération entre les émetteurs/récepteurs acoustiques et la détermination d'au moins deux positions de référence. Par conséquent, les mesures ne dépendent pas de relèvements au compas ou de la visibilité optique et on peut obtenir une redondance élevée. Un tel procédé est particulièrement approprié dans le cadre d'examens séismiques tridimensionnels en mer. Un tel procédé peut être intégré dans des systèmes de navigation en surface appropriés destinés à déterminer des positions de référence et des positions absolues en n'importe quel point avec une marge d'erreur de 5 à 10 mètres.

Abstract: In the pump described here the expansion chamber is hermetically sealed off from the drive unit. In the expansion chamber itself there are no oil-lubricated or grease-lubricated parts, so that the pump may be described as entirely dry. The sealing is achieved by means of a torsional hollow body 5, which is located between a shaft 1 and a pot 6. The shaft 1 performs an oscillating rotary movement which is transmitted to the pot 6. On the latter are segmental pistons 8a and 8b, which oscillate between fixed parts 10a and 10b and so create the pumping effect.
