IPC: A63C11/00
Filed: 1992-02-03
Abstract: A hand-held ski carrier (220) includes a rigid base member (208), a handle (209) projecting from a central portion of the base member, and at least one jaw. Each jaw preferably comprises an outer side member (204) which extends from a lateral side portion of the base member, and an inner side member (206) which is disposed between the outer side member and the handle and which extends generally vertically from the base member in parallel with the outer side member. The handle is rotatable with respect to the base member, and a cam member (216) is mounted on the handle and is adapted to rotate with the handle from a first, neutral position to a second position in which it drives the upper portions of at least one of the inner and outer side members towards the other member to close the jaw (direction of arrow B).

Abstract: Procédé d'encapsulation d'un gaz hyperbare destiné au traitement de maladies chez les humains au moyen de précurseurs gazeux encapsulés, tels que des microbulles d'oxygène. Ce procédé consiste à immerger un récipient (10) contenant un matériau d'encapsulation (12) dans une cuve de réaction (14). Une sonde à ultrasons (16) est alors introduite dans la cuve de réaction (14). Lorsque la cuve est hermétiquement refermée, une source de gaz hyperbare (18) est mise en communication avec elle, et la cuve est alors immergée dans un fluide réfrigérant (20) de sorte que le gaz hyperbare (18) se condense. De l'énergie thermique est alors appliquée au récipient (10) et de l'énergie ultrasonique est appliquée à la sonde ultrasonique (16). Lorsque celle-ci se met à vibrer, le gaz hyperbare est distribué dans le matériau d'encapsulation chauffé (12). Après que le fluide réfrigérant (20) ait réfrigéré le mélange de gaz hyperbare dans le matériau d'encapsulation (12), le gaz est emprisonné à l'intérieur de celui-ci.

Date Dec. 23, 1992.A method is described for reducing the total emissions during cold starts from an engine burning a hydrocarbon fuel and having an afterburner arranged upstream of a catalytic converter. The method comprises the steps of: (i) adding an excess of fuel to the engine combustible charge and adding air to the engine exhaust gases immediately after the engine has first fired to assure the presence in the exhaust/air mixture of sufficient concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen to permit the resulting exhaust/air mixture to be ignitable and to burn with a steady flame in the afterburner while the latter is at a temperature close to the ambient temperature, and (ii) igniting the exhaust/air mixture in the afterburner immediately after the engine has first fired. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the excess fuel and/or the additional air are regulated after ignition has occurred in the afterburner to maintain a steady flame in the afterburner until at least part of the matrix of the catalytic converter has reached its light off temperature.

Abstract: Un système informatique réparti utilise un système de gestion de licences afin de gérer l'utilisation de produits logiciels. L'invention décrit un plan de gestion présentant un grand choix de styles et de contextes. Chaque programme soumis à une autorisation de mise en route fait appel à un serveur de licences afin de vérifier si son utilisation est permise, et le serveur de licences fait la vérification dans la base de données de licences qu'il gère, appelée autorisations d'utilisation de produits. Si l'utilisation particulière demandée est autorisée, l'octroi de l'autorisation est retourné au noeud d'utilisateurs ayant fait la demande. L'autorisation d'utilisation de produits est structurée de manière à définir un plan de gestion de licences permettant d'obtenir un grand choix de licences en fonction de leurs valeurs appelées "style", "contexte", durée" et "procédé de règlement des demandes d'utilisation". La gestion de licences peut être transmise par le serveur de licences à une sous-section du système, en créant une autre unité de gestion de licences dupliquant l'unité principale. Le serveur de licences doit recevoir un document pour licences (autorisation d'utilisation de produits) provenant d'un émetteur de licences pourvu d'un générateur de documents pour licences. Un mécanisme est conçu pour un noeud d'utilisateurs unique demandant l'utilisation d'un produit logiciel situé sur un autre noeud d'utilisateurs, ce qui est désigné sous le nom de "carte d'appel" au moyen de laquelle un noeud d'utilisateurs obtient la permission de faire une demande de traitement pour utiliser un programme d'un autre noeud.

Date Nov. 26, 1992A method of determining a load measurement value in dynamic weighing of an object passing over a weighing platform supported by load-sensing means generating a load-dependent weighing signal (S) which rises from a basic level to a peak level, to subsequently fall to the basic level. An at least approximative signal peak value (Speak) is determined as representing the weighed load. The weighing signal is integrated at least during a time interval (t1-t5) about the point where the signal peak value is determined in order to produce a summation result, the time interval being recorded as a measurement time factor (M). Further, a form factor (F) for the weighing signal is calculated in the form of the ratio of the summation result, i.e., the integrated area under the weighing signal (S) for the time interval (t1-t5), to a corresponding rectangular area that would be obtained in static weighing, i.e., the product of a peak value and the above time interval. Finally, the load measurement value is determined as the above-signal peak value with a resolution depending on a quality factor Q=FxMxk, wherein k is a factor chosen while taking into consideration the weighing conditions.

Abstract: A method of forming binderless clad powders using a high energy ball mill, preferably an attritor-type ball mill, is described. The binderless clad powders are formed by combining and processing a core material powder and a coating material (either a powder with significantly smaller particle size than the core material powder or a brittle material that will quickly form a powder with significantly smaller particle size than the core material powder) in a high energy ball mill for a relatively short time (generally less than one hour). The processing time employed is such that the particle size of the core material powder is not significantly reduced but that the clad powders are formed. At least one of the two materials ( i.e. , core forming material or coating forming material) must be deformable within the high energy ball mill. Such binderless clad powders are suitable for use as thermal spray powders and which can be thermally sprayed to form coatings on a various substrates.

Abstract: The apparatus for producing small frozen confectionery articles (19) comprises master moulds (11) containing countermoulds (13) and constituting a moulding assembly mounted on an endless chain (12) which travels step by step successively through freezing areas (x) and heating areas (y). Once it is formed in the cavity between the master mould and the countermould, the article is demoulded in two stages, the countermould being removed first, then the article (19) itself which is then taken up by a chain (29) and conveyed away towards a wrapping station. The countermould is placed back in the master mould and the master mould/countermould assembly is then turned upside down, then cleaned. The process allows the production in particular of ice lollies having a convex part. <IMAGE>
