Patent EP-0895066-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARMITAGE MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: G01F1/58
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: There is described and claimed a method of assembling an
electromagnetic flow sensor which includes a length of tubular material
(referred to herein as a "spool") (1) intended to be fitted with a tubular
insert (2) that is anchored relative to the spool once the spool is fitted
into the pipeline. Sealing is preferably achieved by means of extensions
of the insert material (typically elastomer) intended to be trapped
between end fittings of the spool and abutting ends of the pipeline and
secured when the spool is connected in fluid-tight manner to the pipeline.
The insert is preferably reinforced against deformation under the
application of pressure, and this can be achieved by incorporating one or
more bands (4) of suitable material into the insert. The assembly itself
is also claimed.

Abstract: The hood (3) covers the body (2) radially and from a first side in the axial direction and ends by a ring edge (6) of the second side in the axial direction. The hood is made of elastomer and the ring edge defines a ring lip (6) suitable for application in accordance with a contact line or a surface of continuous ring contact, with elastic deformation, on a fixed support surface. The lip has an essentially revolution shape around the axis. The support surface is flat and perpendicular to the axis, the support surface and the lip being turned respectively from the first side and from the second side. The lip is inclined in relation to the axis in such a way that it tends to flex radially towards the outside or towards the inside under the effect of the thrust exerted by the flat surface.

Abstract: An ink jet recording method is disclosed which
comprises the step of depositing a reactant-containing
reaction solution and an ink composition onto a recording
medium to conduct printing on the recording medium, the
weight of the ink composition deposited per dot on the
recording medium being larger than the weight of the
reaction solution deposited per dot on the recording
medium. In this method, for the two liquids, the
regulation of the surface tension and the regulation of the
amount deposited on the recording medium can realize good
image quality, especially a pixel (for example, a dot)
having good circularity. Specifically, the surface tension
of the reaction solution, γ1 (mN/m), the surface tension
of the ink composition, γ2 (mN/m), and  M = (weight of the
reaction solution deposited per dot on the recording
medium)/(weight of the ink composition deposited per dot
on the recording medium)  are regulated so as to satisfy the
following:
   when γ1 ≦ 35 and 40 ≦ γ2 ≦ 55, M is 30 to 90%;   when γ1 > 35 and 40 ≦ γ2 ≦ 55, M is 40 to 90%;   when γ1 ≦ 35 and γ2 < 40, M is 20 to 80%; and   when γ1 > 35 and γ2 < 40, M is 50 to 90%.

Abstract: Technique pour réaliser une convergence dans un modèle informatique de monde réel ou d'une scène de synthèse. Le modèle informatique utilise des objets à données fondées sur abstraction ainsi que des objets à données fondées sur images. Un réseau de corrélation présente des liaisons entre les objets fondés images ou sur abstraction apparentés. Le procédé consiste tout d'abord à analyser un train d'images d'entrée et des signaux d'entrée utilisateur pour en dériver des objets fondés sur images ou sur abstraction initiaux pour le modèle de scène. Il permet ensuite à l'utilisateur de faire des entrées pour affiner les objets fondés sur images, les objets fondés sur abstraction et/ou le réseau de corrélation. Ainsi les affinements du modèle d'objet fondé sur images de la scène peuvent améliorer le modèle fondé sur abstraction de la scène et les affinements du modèle d'objet fondé sur abstraction peuvent améliorer le modèle fondé sur images.

Abstract: In a method for forming spline teeth on the respective
peripheral walls 1b and 1c of a press-formed sheet-metal
article 1, on which a plurality of peripheral walls of different
diameter are disposed in a continuous manner via a step portion
1a, by ironing and engaging a die 24 (28, 30) with a plurality
of steps of ironing surfaces 28a and 30a, corresponding to the
outer peripheries of pressed-formed article 1, and a punch
having a plurality of ironing surfaces 32a and 34a,
corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of press-formed
article 1, in the axial direction, the punch is provided with
a structure in which a first punch 32, for coacting with die
28 and thereby ironing the small-diameter peripheral wall 1b,
and an outer peripheral punch 34, which is disposed at the outer
periphery of punch 32, coacts with die 30 to iron large-diameter
peripheral wall 1c, and descends to and stops at the position
of step 29 of the die, are arranged in a split manner, and while
small-diameter peripheral wall 1b is ironed after lowering
first punch 32 and outer peripheral punch 34 integrally and
ironing large-diameter peripheral wall 1c, in the process of
ironing small-diameter peripheral wall 1b, the pressurizing
force of outer peripheral punch 34 is made smaller than the
pressurizing force for ironing so that small-diameter
peripheral wall 1b will be elongated smoothly in the axial
direction by the descending of (ironing by) first punch 32,
thereby lessening the inflow of material into step portion 1a
and preventing an excess thickness part to form on step portion
1a.

Chaque forme logique code, en mode mot-relation-mot, les relations sémantiques, notamment la structure d'argument et d'adjonction, entre les mots d'une phrase. Une demande formulée par l'utilisateur est analysée de la même manière de sorte qu'un ensemble de formes logiques correspondantes soit produit. Les documents sont classés en fonction, de manière prédéterminée, des formes logiques provenant des documents et de la demande. Spécifiquement, l'ensemble de formes logiques pour la demande est ensuite comparé à un ensemble de formes logiques pour chacun des documents extraits, de manière qu'un appariement soit établi entre chaque forme logique des deux ensembles. Chaque document qui présente au moins une forme logique appariée est évalué de manière heuristique, un poids prédéfini différent et correspondant différent étant attribué à chaque relation différente pour une forme logique appariée. L'évaluation de chaque document est fonction, par exemple, de manière prédéterminée, des poids de ses formes logiques appariées uniques. Les documents retenus sont ensuite classés dans l'ordre décroissant puis présentés à un utilisateur dans cet ordre.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la génération d'un signal binaire exempt d'une valeur de moyenne temporelle (O) à partir d'un signal d'entrée (IN). Le dispositif (10) comprend un circuit de réaction réglant le rapport d'impulsion du signal de sortie par comparaison de sa valeur moyenne à la valeur moyenne d'un signal de référence exempt d'une valeur de moyenne temporelle (J) et par communication de la différence entre les deux valeurs moyennes. Lesdites valeurs moyennes sont approchées par un filtrage passe-bas dudit signal binaire (O) et du signal de référence (J) par deux filtres (8, 7). Si ces filtres (8, 7) sont non-linéaires, les valeurs moyennes des signaux filtrés (S, FJ) peuvent s'écarter des valeurs moyennes du signal binaire (O) et du signal de référence (J). La conception de ces filtres (8, 7) de telle manière qu'ils soient égaux en termes de non-linéarité, permet de compenser la différence susmentionnée puisque ces signaux vont s'écarter fondamentalement des valeurs théoriques du même degré dans le cas où ils sont exempts d'une valeur de moyenne temporelle.
