Patent EP-0856660-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MEAZZA GIANPIERO
IPC: F16K11/10
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: To reduce wear as much as possible in hydraulic valves (1) which
control the regulator members of a turbine by using water from the
penstock (33), the movable controlling and valving seats (20, 21)
and fixed controlling and valving seats (12, 13) of said valves
(1) have large contact surfaces by being formed to cut the axis of
symmetry (17) of the stem (3)/valving member (4) combination at an
angle a thereto. The larger the contact surfaces, the less
damaging are the effects of wear, and hence for equal conditions
the hydraulic operating life of the valve is increased.

Abstract: The storage drum for a spiral coiled wire comprises two support plates (1,2) lying parallel to each other at a fixed distance apart, and guide elements (3,4) mounted between the two plates. Each of the guide elements may be a roller which is free to rotate on a spindle which lies perpendicular to the support plates and which may be attached to these plates. The spiral coiled wire is passed around these two rollers, with one ends passing through a central hole in the first support plate (1), and the other end passing through a hole (6) in the corner of the second support plate. The extension of the spiral coiled wire when under tension may be between 0 and 50 % of the retracted length of the coil.

Abstract: The sensor has a fixed part supporting at least two sensitive Hall effect or magnetoresistive elements, to produce phase-shifted sinusoidal signals ( gamma ), which are mounted in the constant air gap opposite the magnetized face (6) of an annular multipolar coder fixed and centered on the rotating shaft. The axis ( delta c) of the sensor (5), carrying the centers of the two sensitive parts (51,52), is situated at a distance (Ro) from the rotation axis ( delta R) of the magnetic coder (4). The magnetic coder has 2m magnetic transitions between poles of opposite North and South polarities on its magnetized face, in the form of spirals. The first transition trace is defined by polar co-ordinates ( mu ,θ ) defined by the equations: mu  = (Ro<2> + a<2> OMEGA <2>)1/ and θ  = (arctangent (a OMEGA /Ro)) + OMEGA . The trace of the other (2m - 1) transitions is obtained by successive angular rotations pi /m of this first transition around the center (O) of the coder.  OMEGA  is the angle of rotation of the coder around its center, mu  is the module of the spiral measured from the coder center, θ  is the argument of the spiral measured from its origin on the axis (Oz) carrying the inter-axial distance (Ro) and a is an eccentricity parameter for the spiral, defined by the relation: a = d asterisk m asterisk 1/ gamma , in which  gamma  represents the phase angle between the two signals from the sensitive parts of the sensor, d represents the distance between the centers of the two elements and m represents the number of magnetic periods of the coder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for coating especially difficultly accessible radiators and similarly difficultly accessible bodies. To achieve this, a coating liquid is applied (11) without pressure to a body (10) that is to be coated. The excess run-off liquid (23) is collected in a collector pan (5) and is subsequently pumped back into a store tank (1) by a return pipe (19) and a return pump (4). The coating liquid is then carried from the store tank (1) to a flow-coating spray gun (3) by a feed pump (6) and a feed pipe (12), thereby forming a closed coating liquid circuit. The flow-coating spray gun (3) enables the coating liquid to be applied without pressure to the radiator (10). In order to apply heavy-medium or paste-like masses, said mass (37) is removed from the store tank (29) by applying pressure (27,28; 32) and is conveyed in a targeted manner to the difficultly accessible location (guiding duct 42) by the flow-coating spray gun (3).

Abstract: A method for embedding an entire image, audio or video watermark sequence within another image, audio or video data sequence with minimum loss of data quality is presented. The method exploits the de-correlation property of data coefficients in the orthogonal transform domain, similar to the application in data compression through transform coding. The present invention describes the usage of a Discrete Cosine Transform as the embedding domain. However, other orthogonal transforms such as Fourier, Walsh-Hadamard, Haar, Sine and Wavelet can also be used for this operation. A unique key derived adaptively from spatial locations registering the thresholds of the ac transform energies is used to unlock or de-watermark the embedded image or audio sequence. Moreover, an exponential filter has been developed to compress and expand the watermark coefficients prior to the embedding and retrieval process. The method can be used in resolving multimedia copyright protection issues arising on the Internet and in the music industry, such as the inclusion of a company's logo or an artist's recorded voice. The method can also be incorporated as a built-in feature for digital recording devices, such as still and video cameras, as well as more recent devices such as VCD and DVD players. Moreover, the method can be applied to the commercial and service sectors, where security in transmission and reception of private information in terms of speech or image is of the utmost importance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'attaque chimique multi-opération permettant de former des tranches en silicium à rapport largeur-épaisseur élevé, comportant un pochoir à oxyde et/ou nitrure de silicium. La première opération, dans laquelle on utilise une composition d'attaque à base de HBr et d'oxygène, consiste à déposer une couche de passivation sur les parois latérales et à former des ouvertures légèrement coniques. La deuxième opération, dans laquelle on utilise une composition d'attaque à base de gaz fluoré (SF6, HBr ou oxygène), consiste à produire des ouvertures plus verticales, à une vitesse d'attaque élevée. Pour obtenir la conicité voulue des ouvertures lors de la deuxième opération, on joue sur les proportions de HBr et de SF6. Ce procédé est propre et n'exige pas de nettoyage de la chambre d'attaque entre les différentes opérations d'attaque.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements pertaining to mobile telephone modems. According to the invention, the mobile telephone modem includes memory means in which one or more ranking orders of data bearer services is/are stored. In response to a call request, one of the stored ranking orders is selected. If only one ranking order is stored, this ranking order will, of course, be selected. Calling is first carried out with the highest ranked data bearer service in the selected ranking order. If a call connection is not made, it is determined on the basis of an error message from the mobile telephone network whether or not the highest ranked data bearer service is supported by the mobile telephone network. If the highest ranked data bearer service is not supported by the mobile telephone network, the calling procedure is repeated sequentially with respect to the lower ranked data bearer services, until a call connection has been made or until it is determined that the data bearer service concerned is supported by the mobile telephone network but that connection of the call has, nevertheless, been unsuccessful, for instance because the called DTE unit is engaged or disconnected.
