Abstract: Multimedia server presenting, under the control of user commands,
information to the user in a presentation form determined in part by
said commands and further generated by means of application programs.
For sizeable and advanced information systems in particular, such as a
"digital city" or "virtual shop", where users exchange information
with the server by means of dynamic pages, the currently used concept,
which requires continual interpretation and transfer of PERL scripts
to the multimedia server via a common gateway interface (CGI), is too
slow. Considerable dynamics enhancement can be achieved by application
of an Object Request Broker (ORB) as transmission medium and by
storage and reuse of application programs based on PERL scripts which
are interpreted once and can be treated as objects.

Title: Kink impeding hose for spraying water
Inventor: SECKEL PETER H
IPC: F16L33/20
Filed: 1989-08-03
Abstract: A kink resistant flexible plastic or rubber hose (10)
having ribs (20,40) for spraying water is providing having a
plurality of functions including resistance to hose
kinking, water delivery through the hose when kinked and
equalization of water pressure on both sides of the kink
causing the hose to snap open. The hose (10) is adapted for
coupling to a pressurized water supply for delivery of
water through the hose and a spraying device is coupled to
the other end to provide sufficient back pressure for
equalisation and opening of the kinked hose during delivery
of a pressurized stream of water. The hose is especially
suited for use as a garden hose and for other water
delivery purposes in boat, camper, car, patio, potable and
other environments.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method of allowing a device
to respond to a configuration query only if it is the true target of the
query. In one embodiment of the invention, logic gates having two inputs
are provided. The first input of the logic gates is connected to the
signal of a bridge that selects a device when the address of the signal
is referenced in the configuration query. The second input of the logic
gate receives a signal indicating whether the local bus or the
subordinate bus is being configured and the output of the logic gate is
used to enable the device. In a second embodiment, certain signals
designated to indicate the selection of a bus are used to enable devices
to respond to configuration queries.

Abstract: The electronic protection relay has current detectors (C1,C2,C3) in each phase. The detectors deliver a signal dependent on the current in each phase. These signals are passed to a logic circuit (3) and to a microcontroller (4) that processes them. An image of the potential (S) applied to the motor is applied to the logic circuit (3) to control the window in which current data is accepted. The voltage and current signals are used to estimate zero-crossings for each signal, allowing determination of the phase angle between voltage and current in each phase.

Abstract: The estimator has two carrier signals and two modulating signals (X,Y) which are applied respectively to two mixers. The outputs are summed to give a modulated signal (SM). A detector (71) produces a signal indicative of the instantaneous power of the modulated signal and a generator (74) gives a second signal representative of a reference envelope from the two modulating signals. An amplitude correction amplifier (77) corrects one of the signals as a function of the mean difference formed by an integrator (76) between the corrected amplitude signal from the said amplifier and the instantaneous power signal. A processing circuit (79) multiplies (80) the observed difference (e) by the extracted signs (83,84) of the modulating signals to give a fault signal (E1) after integration (82).

Abstract: Textile fibers are treated with enzymes in the absence of surfactants, with the effect of increasing the wettability and absorbency of the fibers. The enzymes are pectinases, cellulases, proteases, lipases or combinations thereof. The wetting properties of cotton fibers are found to be most substantially improved by treatment with a mixture of cellulase and pectinase. The effects of five hydrolyzing enzymes on improving the hydrophilicity of several polyester fabrics have been studied. Four out of the five lipases studied improve the water wetting and absorbent properties of the regular polyester fabrics more than alkaline hydrolysis under optimal conditions (3N NaOH at 55° C. for 2 hours). Compared to aqueous hydrolysis, the enzyme reactions have shown to be effective under more moderate conditions, including a relatively low concentration (0.01 g/L), a shorter reaction time (10 minutes), at an ambient temperature (25° C.). Contrary to the results with alkaline hydrolysis, the improved water wettability is accompanied by full strength retention. Lipase has also shown to be effective in improving the wetting and absorbent properties of sulfonated polyester and microdenier polyester fabrics.

Abstract: The invention aims at improving the treatment of solid waste materials by saline blowoff generated by wet gas cleaning methods. For this purpose the method comprises a step of neutralizing the blowoff, a step of concentrating the blowoff and a step of incorporating this concentrated blowoff in the solid waste materials to be stabilised and in additives and hydraulic binders so as to obtain a conglomerate producing a stabilised solid waste material that can be directly disposed of. These three steps are closely imbricated and can be combined together. The invention uses two waste materials to be treated, one solid, the other liquid (the blowoff) to make one stabilised waste material. The method is useful for treating fly ash from household refuse incineration plants equipped with a wet flue gas cleaning system by the liquid blowoff thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods to determine the phase angle of a four stroke internal combustion engine with an odd number of cylinders and without a camshaft detector. According to said methods, recognition of phase angle occurs by emission of a first signal from a crankshaft angle sensor presenting a singularity whereby said signal is placed in relation to a second signal, which is for example a speed signal or an output signal of an inlet-manifold air-pressure sensor and the shape of the second signal is evaluated in the range of singularity of the first signal. As this signal shape is variable according to whether the crankshaft is in first or second revolution, the phase angle can be determined precisely.
