Patent EP-1000202-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEYES CHARLES FRANCIS
IPC: E02F7/00
Filed: 1998-08-10
Abstract: An underwater mining vehicle (28) is provided with a suction boom (22) carrying a tooth cutter (9) at its forward tip and having an array of nozzles (20) disposed about its periphery. In use, the boom is oriented vertically and applies a downward force of 5 to 20 tones (49 to 196 kN) on a layer of sandstone drape covering a diamondiferous gravel layer. This breaks the drape and enables the mouth of the suction boom to access the diamondiferous gravel. The two lower/rearward nozzles (20) generate high velocity jets which form a fluidised region in the gravel and suspend particles up to 200 mm in diameter which are then sucked up in suspension via the suction boom and lifted to the surface where diamonds are extracted.

Title: Procede et composition permettant de produire des verres absorbant une lumiere d'activation
Inventor: BUAZZA OMAR M
IPC: B29C35/02
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition permettant de former des verres de lunettes, renfermant des composés photoabsorbants pouvant être soumis à une polymérisation photoamorcée. De manière générale, les compositions pour verres qui absorbent la lumière ne permettent pas à suffisamment de rayons d'activation de pénétrer dans les profondeurs de la cavité du verre pour amorcer de façon appropriée la polymérisation de la composition permettant de former les verres. Un mode de réalisation de l'invention concerne un système et un procédé de durcissement d'une telle composition destiné à former un verre filtrant la lumière d'activation. La lumière d'activation utilisée présente une longueur d'onde supérieure aux longueurs d'onde de la lumière que les composés photoabsorbants absorbent. La puissance des verres formés peut être ajustée en faisant varier les conditions de formation des verres. En outre, le procédé permettant de former ces verres peut être commandé par un système de commande par microprocesseur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un agencement de mesure de la pression veineuse. La mesure est effectuée de manière non vulnérante par application d'une pression effective de compression variable sur un point de mesure, tel qu'un membre ou analogue d'une personne, en un point de compression (A), par un générateur (1) de pression, et en même temps l'effet de la pression variable sur la circulation est mesuré en un second point (B), le second point (B) étant situé à distance du coeur, c'est-à-dire plus près du point terminal de circulation périphérique que du point de compression (A) auquel la pression est appliquée. La valeur mesurée de la pression effective est transférée vers une unité d'interprétation (9) à laquelle est également appliqué un pouls de tension provoqué par le coeur, et mesuré audit second point (B) par un capteur (7) afin de mesurer l'effet de la pression effective variable. Dans l'unité d'interprétation (9) la pression veineuse est déterminée sur la base d'une pression effective, laquelle est mesurée par un élément de mesure (5) et laquelle constitue la pression effective lorsque l'unité d'interprétation (9) détecte un changement du signal du pouls de tension mesuré par ledit capteur (7), le changement étant caractéristique de la pression veineuse.

Inventor: ZHENGDI QIN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A method of channel estimation in a cellular communication system is described. Symbols are transmitted between a mobile station and a base station. According to the described method, an incoming signal is received via a communication channel. A first estimate for the channel impulse response of that communication channel is provided and used to process the incoming signal to generate an estimated data symbol. The estimated data symbol is used to generate a soft output feedback decision which is then used to make a further estimate of the channel impulse response. According to a variation, the further estimate of channel impulse response is made by performing a correlation process between a conjugate version of a spreading code used to spread the incoming signal and the incoming signal itself. The results of that process are multiplied by a feedback decision.

Title: Method and device for monitoring and/or determining motor oil quality
Inventor: PICKERT DETLEF
IPC: G07C5/00
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for monitoring and/or determining motor oil quality by determining the viscosity of the motor oil during the operation of internal combustion engines. The quality of motor oil is especially used in motor vehicle technology, for example in order to determine maintenance intervals of motor vehicles, especially intervals at which the oil is to be changed. Known methods require costly measuring techniques and are inexact. According to the invention, the quality of the motor oil is monitored by determining and evaluating the changes in the viscosity of the oil according to the temperature and frictional torque of the motor. This method is carried out in a simple manner without additional measuring devices and with reliable results. Significant changes of the motor oil quality can thus be deemed as an indication that an oil change is necessary.

conveyed on a conveyor with their axes generally
perpendicular to the direction of travel. The dough
pieces (62) are caused to rotate about their axes at the

90) for contacting the dough pieces (62) at the
downstream end of the conveyor (10). It is the contact

Abstract: A decision is made as to whether a radio base
station acting as an interference source is present
in a macrocell or microcell, so that the interference
from a mobile station transmitting at high power can
be prevented in advance. The base station inserts its
transmission power value of a forward broadcast
channel into broadcast information. A newly
installed base station C, receiving a forward
frequency band, measures the received level of the
broadcast channel, and captures the transmission power
value. When the transmission power value is large,
the threshold value is reduced, (THRb), and when the
transmission power value is small, the threshold value
is increased (THRa). If the received level L is less
than the threshold value, a decision is made that the
channel is available. A propagation loss is
calculated from the received level of the broadcast
channel and the transmission power value acquired, and
a decision is made that the channel is available, if
the propagation loss is less than a certain value, and
the received level is less than the threshold value.
