Patent EP-0968079-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A side-action mechanism is provided for forming recesses or apertures in injection molded plastic parts and which includes a slide carrier and a driver actuator therefor which are part of a modular side-action cam unit that can be attached entirely into one mold half, e.g., the core half, so as to avoid having to machine and customize the other mold half or cavity half as with prior side-action devices. In addition, the modular side-action cam unit provides a driving surface that is preferably flat which engages the bottom flat of the cavity half to obviate the alignment problems which can occur in the prior angled cam pin side-action mechanisms. The present modular cam unit is a small unit and does not take as long to install into the mold as the prior side-action cam mechanisms which required installing parts in both the cavity and core halves of the mold. The cam unit herein in its preferred form, utilizes a total of five (5) parts which are all self-contained in a housing to provide a design which can be fit in the mold in a very straightforward and quick manner by the mold builder. The actuator is spring biased so that the opening force of the mold is not used to withdraw the core pin from the mold cavity. Preferably, two-stage spring loading is utilized with a high initial spring load applied to free the coring pin from the plastic in the cavity and a lower secondary load applied for the remainder of the withdrawal travel.

Abstract: An associative artificial neuron and method of forming output signals of an associative artificial neuron includes receiving a number of auxiliary input signals; forming from the auxiliary input signals a sum weighted by coefficients and applying a non-linear function to the weighted sum to generate a non-linear signal. The neuron and method further include receiving a main input signal and forming, based on the main signal and the non-linear signal, the function S OR V, which is used to generate a main output signal, and at lest one of three logical functions S AND V, NOT S AND V, and S AND NOT V. The at least one logical function is used to generate an additional output signal for the associative artificial neuron.

Abstract: La lumière qui doit être générée par une source lumineuse dans un dispositif de localisation d'un objet dans un milieu trouble est successivement injectée dans le milieu trouble selon des angles différents au moyen d'une unité de sélection optique. La lumière injectée est transportée dans des directions différentes à travers le milieu trouble. Une partie de la lumière émanant du milieu trouble est mesurée au moyen de photodétecteurs. Une image de l'intérieur du milieu trouble est reconstruite par tomographie optique en fonction des intensités mesurées. Un objet, par exemple une tumeur dans le tissu mammaire, peut être localisé d'après cette image. On a découvert qu'en cas d'exécution répétée des mesures de localisation de l'objet une erreur survenait entre les positions localisées successivement de l'objet. On a également constaté que les variations d'intensité de la lumière injectée dans le milieu trouble selon le même angle participaient à cette erreur. On atténue ladite erreur en utilisant un moyen qui réduit les variations d'intensité de la lumière injectée dans le milieu trouble selon le même angle.

Abstract: Circuit à semi-conducteur comportant un ensemble mémoire analogique (110) et un ensemble amplificateur de lecture (116), dans lequel chaque cellule (116) génère une paire de signaux différentiels en réaction à la réception d'un premier et d'un second signal provenant de l'ensemble mémoire. Le circuit comprend également un multiplexeur analogique (118), qui délivre une paire de signaux différentiels à un canal de traitement de signaux. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, chaque cellule (116) de l'amplificateur de lecture comprend une paire d'amplificateurs opérationnels (A1, A2), configurés en amplificateurs à boucle à gain de 1, qui délivrent la paire de signaux au multiplexeur analogique (fig. 2). Afin d'améliorer le temps de stabilisation, les amplificateurs opérationnels sont conçus de façon à fournir une réponse sous-amortie quand ils sont chargés par le chemin de transmission analogique passant par le multiplexeur analogique. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, l'activation de chaque cellule (116) de l'amplificateur de lecture se fait avec un cycle d'horloge d'avance (impulsion 0/1) sur la lecture, ce qui permet une lecture rapide pendant le passage d'une cellule à une autre. Le fait de ne maintenir que deux cellules actives durant toute la lecture contribue à diminuer la dissipation d'énergie et découple sensiblement la dissipation d'énergie de l'ensemble d'amplificateurs (116) de sa taille. Les modes de réalisation de l'invention peuvent être utilisés dans différents types de systèmes d'imagerie, notamment les caméras numériques.

Abstract: The inventive engine uses highly tested internal combustion engine piston technology. However, the straight format is replaced by the toric format. This modification, along with the creation of a sliding system inside the rotor, enable the power obtained by means of explosion to be transmitted in the form of a rotary movement. A system of rotary levers associated with the crank shaft, whereby said cranks are obliged to move in an opposite direction to that of the engine, is provided in order to enable the pistons to compress the mixture and allow the spent gases to be exhausted. The engine shaft remains free during said movements. This is achieved by an engagement/disengagement system which actuates the motor shaft in an exclusively clockwise direction and not in the opposite direction thereto. The four strokes required for normal operation of the disclosed engine can thus be obtained inside each cylinder.
