Abstract: L'invention porte sur un régulateur (10) de débit sous pression destiné à être utilisé avec une vanne (12) de type Joule-Thompson pourvue d'un actionneur (20) à membrane placé à l'extérieur d'un vase Dewar (11) et qui n'est pas refroidi. L'actionneur à membrane limite le débit en fonction de la pression du gaz amené dans le vase Dewar depuis une alimentation (17) en gaz, et non de la température, et n'empêche pas le refroidissement d'un dispositif couplé au vase Dewar. L'actionneur comprend une membrane (22) et une plaque (24) de chargement qui exercent une force de façon à ouvrir la vanne Joule-Thompson. Un ressort (26) génère une force pour fermer la vanne, ce qui équilibre la contre-pression de l'alimentation en gaz. L'actionneur est compact et limite le débit en fonction de la pression d'alimentation du gaz, et non de le température. Cette invention fait appel à la régulation de pression et non à la régulation de la température pour parvenir à réguler le débit.

IPC: F01D11/24
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: A clearance control system for a turbine seal,
which optimizes a clearance by controlling the change in the
clearance during a run due to a thermal elongation by cooling
the sealing air. 
     The air from a compressor is cooled by a cooler
12 and is guided via an outer shroud 22 and a tube 28 in a
stationary blade 21 into a cavity 26 in an inner shroud 23.
The air flows through a space 34 from a seal portion 36 to the
outside and through a seal ring 25 and a space 35 from a seal
portion 37 to the outside to seal the inner side of the inner
shroud 23 from a hot combustion gas. A clearance δH between
a stationary portion and a rotary portion changes with a thermal
elongation. A clearance measuring sensor 14 monitors the
clearance δH without intermission. When the clearance δH is
large, the control unit 10 opens the flow regulator valve 11 to
cause the air to bypass the cooler 12. When the clearance δH
is small, the control unit 10 closes the valve 11 to control the
thermal elongation so that the clearance δH may be optimized
at all times. As a result, the sealing performance can be
improved to avoid the contact.

Inventor: CHAMPETIER ROBERT J
IPC: G01J5/10
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a
system and process for accurately determining the
temperature of an object, such as a semiconductive
wafer, by sensing and measuring the object radiation
being emitted at a particular wavelength. In
particular, a reflective device is placed adjacent to
the radiating object, which causes thermal radiation
being emitted by the wafer to be reflected multiple
times. The reflected thermal radiation is then
monitored using a light detector. Additionally, a
reflectometer is contained within the system which
independently measures the reflectivity of the object.
The temperature of the object is then calculated using
not only the thermal radiation information but also
the information received from the reflectometer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for performing uplink
scheduling of packet data when using adaptive antennas. In the
solution according to the invention the uplink scheduling
information is transmitted either in the whole coverage area of
the base station or in an antenna beam towards the mobile for
which the scheduling information is intended. All other data
packets are transmitted in an antenna beam towards the mobile
station for which the data are intended. By adopting the
proposed solution it is possible to use adaptive antennas in a
system carrying e.g. GPRS/EGPRS traffic. The carrier to
interference gain introduced by adaptive antennas produces a
pronounced increase in system performance.

Abstract: An optical recording medium having a recording layer made of a phase-transition material. The ratio (Ac/Aa) of the absorption factor
(Ac) of when the recording layer is in a crystalline phase to the absorption factor (Aa) of when it is in an amorphous phase is 0.9 or over. A
crystallization-promoting layer for promoting crystallization of the phase-transition material is formed in contact with at least one of the
sides of the recording layer. Control of absorption factor and promotion of crystallization are both achieved, so that the differences of
physical properties of crystalline and amorphous phases are properly compensated, and good direct overwrite is realized even under high-speed
and high-density condition.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour produire des esters d'amidon compostables, pouvant être transformés ultérieurement en produits déformables thermoplastiquement, ledit procédé pouvant être mis en oeuvre aussi bien de manière continue que de manière discontinue. L'activation de l'amidon avec des anhydrides d'acide carboxylique s'effectue sous l'action intensive d'énergie mécanique, d'une pression ou d'une cavitation. Ainsi, l'organophobie des particules d'amidon est surmontée de sorte que l'anhydride d'acide carboxylique pénètre rapidement et pratiquement complètement dans les particules d'amidon, sans modification de la structure partiellement cristalline de ces dernières, au moment où commence simultanément la réaction des anhydrides d'acide carboxylique avec l'humidité résiduelle des amidons naturels ou modifiés, sans déstructuration notable. Selon l'invention, l'activation est effectuée dans une plage de température comprise entre 10 et 140  DEG C, et à des pressions comprises entre 0,001 et 1400 bars, de préférence dans une plage de température comprise entre 15 et 100  DEG C, et à des pressions comprises entre 0,01 et 1000 bars.

Abstract: A flash converter (104) is preceded by an accurate continuous-time error amplifier (102) operating on the difference between the input signal and a feedback DAC (114). The DAC output is operatively coupled to the amplifier virtual ground through, for example, a set of precision capacitors. The input circuit is also coupled to the amplifier input through a continuous-time element such as a set of precision capacitors, approximately equal in capacitance to those coupled to the DAC (114). The amplifier (102) may have a moderate gain such as (16) with a high-pass characteristic beyond, for example 1 KHz. The DAC is controlled by the latched output of a digital signal processing block, which uses digital outputs from the flash converter (104) and the last latched output to predict the next value of the input signal. Converter control loop stability is afforded by providing a lowpass character to the prediction circuit. The converter produces a first digital result by adding the digital value produced by the flash (104), properly scaled, to the current value of the digital latch (112) driving the DAC (114). The output of the converter is a second digital result produced by passing the first digital result through a simple lowpass digital filter (116). The second digital result may be sub-sampled at any arbitrary phase of the input sampling clock to permit optimum-phase data recovery.
