Inventor: KOPP VIRGIL CLINTON
IPC: B01D65/02
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: Un ensemble de filtre microporeux est décrit, dont la pression d'alimentation, dans certains modes de fonctionnement, est appliquée aux parois externes des fibres microporeuses (13) composant le filtre. Sous d'autres formes, l'alimentation est dirigée à travers les parois des fibres (13) par l'application d'une pression plus basse dans les ouvertures des fibres (13). Différentes méthodes de lavage à contre-courant des fibres (13) sont décrites, dont aucune ne requiert une étape de pré-pressurisation de l'environnement à l'intérieur et autour des fibres (13) avant le début du lavage à contre-courant. Dans des méthodes spéciales de lavage à contre-courant, les étapes initiales comprennent l'arrêt de l'alimentation vers les surfaces externes des fibres (13) et l'enlèvement substantiel des filtrats des ouvertures des fibres (13). Dans quelques versions le filtre comprend une cartouche de filtre (10) ayant un paquet de fibres (13) contenu dans une coquille (12) fermée et pressurisable. Dans d'autres versions le filtre comprend un ou plusieurs paquets de fibres (102) suspendus dans une enceinte ouverte (101). L'invention diminue le nombre requis de cycles de pressurisation de l'environnement à l'intérieur et autour des fibres (13). Dans certains cas, une telle pressurisation est éliminée.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de déterminer le mouvement d'un capteur d'image (302) dans une scène, directement à partir des dérivés de luminosité d'une paire d'images. Une contrainte de mouvement global de capteur d'image est combinée avec la contrainte de constance de luminosité locale pour associer des modèles de surface locale avec le modèle de mouvement global de capteur d'image et des dérivés de luminosité locale. Selon un procédé itératif (314), les modèles de surface locale sont affinés au moyen de l'utilisation, comme contrainte, du mouvement du capteur, puis le modèle de mouvement de capteur d'image est affiné au moyen de l'utilisation, comme contraintes, des modèles de surface locale. L'analyse est effectuée à des résolutions multiples afin d'accroître la vitesse du procédé.

Abstract: A clock generator (30) dynamically generates a system clock in response to a high or a low frequency oscillator. An amplified oscillator input is provided to a first input of a multiplexor (62), a divider (56), and a comparator circuit (58, 60). Divider (56) divides an oscillator input frequency to provide a divided input to a second input of multiplexor (62). Comparator circuit (58,60) compares the input frequency with a reference frequency to determine whether the input frequency is high or low. If the input frequency is low, multiplexor (62) is enabled to provide the oscillator input as the system clock. If the input frequency is high, multiplexor (62) provides the divided input as the system clock. Additionally, comparator circuit (58, 60) provides a control signal to enable an amplifier (50) to amplify the oscillator input using a high or low gain factor in accordance with the input frequency.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining instruction execution ordering in a data processing system (10). In one form, a control bit (52) is used by data processing system (10) to determine whether a standard instruction or a modified instruction is executed. The standard instruction performs a read bus cycle following by a write bus cycle. The bus (12) must be locked between the read and the write cycles in order to maintain coherency in semaphore applications. The modified instruction performs a buffered write bus cycle following by a read bus cycle. The bus (12) does not need to be locked between the write and the read cycles in order to maintain coherency in semaphore applications. Not locking the bus (12) can increase bus bandwidth in some bus systems.

Abstract: An electronic delay circuit for firing an ignition element (18). The delay circuit includes a capacitor (15) which stores electric energy supplied from an electric blasting machine (1), an oscillator (92) generating a clock pulse train, a circuit (70) for over-exciting the oscillator, a counter (50) which counts clock pulses of the clock pulse train, and a circuit (40) for maintaining a reset state of the counter for a predetermined time period after the electric energy is supplied. The counter (50) produces a trigger signal when it counts a predetermined number of the clock pulses, and the electric energy stored in the capacitor (15) is discharged to the ignition element (18). Since the oscillator (92) enters into the steady state in a very short time by the over-excitation, the delay circuit has large resistance to external noise.

Compounds I are obtained by reacting compounds of the formula II <IMAGE> with guanidine, in which L is a leaving group which can easily undergo nuclophilic substitution. Compounds I are outstandingly suitable as antiarrhythmic drugs with cardioprotective component for the treatment and prophylaxis of infarct and for treating angina pectoris, and they also greatly reduce preventively the pathophysiological processes in the development of ischaemia-induced damage. Furthermore, I are distinguished by a potent inhibitory action on cell proliferation. They can thus be used as antiatherosclerotics, remedies for the late complications of diabetes, cancers, fibrotic disorders such as pulmonary, hepatic or renal fibrosis. They are effective inhibitors of the cellular sodium-proton antiporter (Na<+>/H<+> exchanger).

Abstract: The invention is based on a cold-air refrigerating installation with a pre-compressor (1), a first heat exchanger (3), a motor-driven post-compressor (4), a second heat exchanger (6) and an air expansion turbine (2) which drives the pre-compressor (1). In order also to be able to operate this cold-air refrigerating installation as a closed heat pump for heating the air, it is possible according to a first basic arrangement to provide a third heat exchanger (27) which can be connected into the circuit between air expansion turbine (2) and pre-compressor (1), as a result of which a heat pump installation with a pre-compressor (1) - post-compressor (4) - second heat exchanger (6) - air expansion turbine (2) - third heat exchanger (27) - pre-compressor (1) circuit is formed. With the third heat exchanger (27), heat is extracted from the environment and, with the second heat exchanger (6), outside air is heated and pushed into an incoming-air duct (24). According to a second basic arrangement, an open heat pump installation with an air expansion turbine (2') - second heat exchanger (6') - pre-compressor (1') - post-compressor (4') air guide is formed, the air expansion turbine (2') drawing in outside air, heat being extracted from the environment with the second heat exchanger (6') and supplied to the air, and this air being heated in two stages and pushed into an incoming-air duct (24') with the pre-compressor (1') and the post-compressor (4'). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for estimating the carrier frequency of a PSK numeric signal, in which symbols are transmitted at frequency fs. 
     The invention is characterized by the use of an estimate, at each symbol interval, of the angular difference between two successive data. 
     Such estimate, suitably processed, provides the control signal for a circuit that compensates the frequency error between the carrier of the received signal and the local oscillator. 
     In a not limiting embodiment, the invention can be implemented through only digital circuitry.
