Patent EP-0466301-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TRAME CHARLES E
IPC: F21V23/06
Filed: 1991-04-24
Abstract: A connector is provided for the conductors (65,66,68) running between the electrode-containing ends of a neon tube (13) and the high voltage power supply (18). Two half-shells (25,26) composed of rigid insulating plastic are joined together to form a housing after the electrical connection is made between a power supply lead wire (68) and the neon tube (13), to completely enclose the connection. At least one end of the housing resulting from combining the half-shells (25,26) contains a substantially round hole (45,50) and a circular groove (43,48) inwardly thereof. An insulating feedthrough adapter (74) has an integral collar (76) which is captured in the groove. A spirally grooved or corrugated flexible insulating sleeve (21) screws onto the adapter (74) which results in the lead wire (68) being double insulated. One of the end portions (17) of the neon tube (13) fits through a hole (46,49) in the insulating housing opposite of the hole in which the adapter (74) resides.

Abstract: Improved pulse width modulation technique provides for an increased sampling rate without an increased ON/OFF rate at associated control devices. Both ON/OFF and OFF/ON edges in a PWM signal are modulated. The system then samples at twice the pulse turn-on rate to provide more frequent sampling. System response time may be decreased without an increase in the operating frequency for the associated control device. Particular application of the present invention may be found in continuously variable transmission systems which utilize PWM-controlled electrohydraulic valves for ratio control, line pressure control and clutch control. A system for implementing the PWM signal has a duty- cycle calculator coupled with timing circuits to control input data reading functions and circuit enabling, leading edge and trailing edge regulators and an output pulse generator.

Abstract: An optical disk apparatus with an optical disk having tracks, an optical head having an object lens, a positioner to move the optical head along the optical disk, a tracking actuator to move the object lens, a tachometer to detect the velocity of the positioner, and a seek operation controller. The seek operation controller effects a positioner seek operation to move the positioner in accordance with velocity difference between a target light beam velocity generated based on distance from a current track to a target track and an actual light beam velocity detected by the controller at a first detection period and a lens seek operation to move the tracking actuator in accordance with velocity difference between the target light beam velocity and an actual light beam velocity detected by the controller. The controller also effects a transition control operation in a transition between the positioner seek operation and lens seek operation. In the transition control operation, because an actual light beam velocity is detected by the tachometer without load of the controller, the controller can calculate the light beam velocity more accurately. Therefore, when the seek operation transfers to the lens seek operation from the positioner seek operation, the seek operation can be carried out more stably without disabling the servo control of the positioner.

Des paramètres associés au système tels que l'ouverture de l'objectif, l'acuité de l'image en profondeur et l'intensité de l'image sont réglés. Les donnés entrantes relatives à l'image sont traitées pour déterminer l'entropie de l'image et grâce à cette information, l'ouverture de l'objectif peut être optimisée. La détermination de la gamme dynamique de la scène permet d'identifier les niveaux noir et blanc de ladite scène et d'ajuster le gain et le décalage appliqués à l'image de manière à minimiser la distorsion par troncature. Les blancs spéculaires peuvent être détectés en calculant le taux des modifications des intensités maximum et minimum entre des images différentes mais apparentées.

Abstract: On forme des balles serrées afin de transporter dans un volume réduit des fibres de cellulose réticulées ayant un grand volume. On applique une force limitée lorsque l'on comprime les fibres dans les balles afin de ne pas endommager les fibres. Cette quantité limitée de force permet à la balle de se dilater jusqu'à deux fois environ son volume serré, une fois que l'enserrement est défait. On minimise davantage l'endommagement des fibres en limitant la compression au minimum requis, de sorte qu'un conteneur de transport soit complètement rempli, jusqu'au maximum de sa capacité en volume et en charge utile.

Abstract: A needle assembly (20) includes a cannula (21), having a proximal end and a distal end defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen (22) therethrough, having a distal point (23) and a proximal hub (26). The lumen contains a unitary integrally injection molded device (27) which can function as a stylet or an obturator depending on the design. When the device is designed to function as a stylet, it has a tip formed in the injection molding process which is generally coincident with and occludes the distal point of the cannula. The formed tip of the stylet is held in coaxial alignment with the distal cannula point by a removably conjugate interlocking means (38,39) on the hub of the cannula and the handle of the stylet. When the device is designed to function as an obturator, it has a molded formed rounded point which is contained within the lumen of the needle, the device serving to occlude the bore. The one-piece injection molded device simplifies the manufacturing process by eliminating assembly steps, eliminates particulates formed by secondary forming operations and eliminates the possibility of separation of components by bond failure possible with all previous devices.

Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a ceramic membrane for micro- or ultra-filtration, wherein a porous inorganic material is formed on a bulk surface of a porous ceramic substrate. 
     The method comprises the steps of
     a) at least partly filling the pores of a porous ceramic substrate with a liquid first reagent, and   b) bringing a bulk surface of the substrate into contact with a second reagent. The first and second reagents are chosen such that at their interface they interact to form a deposit  in   situ  on the bulk surface of the substrate. The substrate and the deposit thereon are then dried and heated to sinter the deposit to form the porous inorganic layer as a layer extending in its thickness direction away from the bulk surface.
