Title: Metallic housing for electrical connector
Inventor: JAMET DANIEL
IPC: H01R13/658
Filed: 1990-11-19
Abstract: A metal housing for an electrical connector such as a standardized HE12 connector comprises two half-housings enclosing a connector plug adapted to be inserted into a socket. Each half-housing comprises a half-hinge and an orifice having a contour which is open when the two half-housings are open to enable insertion of cables and which is closed when the two half-housings are closed. Fork-shape projections in each half-housing constitute two insulation-displacement contacts for establishing an electrical connection between the half-housing and the screening braid of each cable and to prevent the cable being pulled out. Tangs in each half-housing are inserted in insulation displacement contacts when the two half-housings are closed to constitute electrical screens preventing electromagnetic interference between nearby contacts. A captive screw constitutes both a rotation spindle for the hinge and means for fixing the housing to a nut fixed to the chassis. The housing protects the connector against electromagnetic interference.

Abstract: For the purpose of operating electric drives and, in particular two-pole and multipole asynchronous induction motors for driving devices having at least two substantially different working speeds, it is proposed to operate at least one two-pole or multipole multiphase asynchronous induction motor on a single-phase mains supply (L, N) by arranging that in each case a power semiconductor switch (Triac T1, T2, T3), connected in series with each winding (W1, W2, W3), is turned on offset in time with respect to the other series semiconductor switches and, sequentially with respect thereto, only during a half-wave of the single-phase supply voltage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A self-oscillating power supply circuit comprises a series arrangement of the primary winding (N₁) of a transformer (TR), the main current path of a first semiconductor (T₁) and a current measuring resistor (R₁). The first semiconductor switch (T₁) is driven by a second semiconductor switch (T₂) which in its turn is controlled from a comparator (CP). The voltage across the current measuring resistor is applied to the non-inverting input (6) of the comparator (CP), a reference voltage obtained from a reference voltage source (RS) is applied to the inverting input (5). By arranging a capacitor (C₂) between the output of the second semiconductor switch and the inverting input (5) of the comparator it is achieved that the first semiconductor switch rapidly turns-off at the end of the forward phase at an accurately determined current through the primary winding. By applying a lower reference voltage to the comparator at a higher mains voltage, an output current for supplying the load (L), which current is substantially independent of the mains voltage, is obtained from the secondary winding (N₂) of the transformer.

Abstract: In a polarimetric fibre-optic sensor using a polarization-­maintaining optical fibre (15) with two light propagation modes, a reference light signal is fed to propagate along the optical fibre in accordance with one propagation mode, a series of measurement light signals being induced by a series of optical fibre deformation elements (16), to propagate along the optical fibre in accordance with the other propagation mode, each being unbalanced in time with respect to the reference light signal by an amount which is different from that of the other measurement light signals; by using particular interferometric techniques, compensating the unbalances and analyzing the signals resulting from the interference between the measurement light signals and the reference light signal it is possible to determine and locate a physical phenomenon which disturbs the optical fibre.

Abstract: Un capteur de pression (10, 49, 140) utilise l'effet de différents modules élastiques entre des couches (20, 21; 36, 38; 53, 54; 123, 124; 146, 147) ou parties de matières différentes liées ensemble pour former un corps (17, 35, 52, 122, 145), de sorte que lorsque l'unité de matières liées (17, 35, 52, 122, 145) est soumise à une pression externe hydrostatique uniforme, les différences dans les modules élastiques de chacune des matières provoquent la déflexion desdites matières de manière prévisible proportionnelle à la pression. On peut mesurer la quantité de gauchissement ou de déflexion du corps (17, 35, 52, 122, 145) de matières, en fonction de la pression. Spécifiquement, on peut lier deux couches de matières (20, 21; 36, 38; 53, 54; 123, 124; 146, 147), telles que du silicium (20, 38, 54, 123-146) et du verre de borosilicate (21, 36, 53, 124, 147), ayant des modules élastiques sensiblement différents, sur une surface d'interface (40, 55) afin de former un ensemble (17, 35, 52, 122, 145), et lorsqu'on exerce une pression sensiblement uniforme sur les surfaces extérieures, l'ensemble (17, 35, 52, 122, 145) défléchit pour indiquer une pression appliquée à des plages de pression relativement élevées. On met ledit ensemble de matières liées (17, 35, 52, 122, 145) dans un liquide afin d'exercer une pression hydrostatique appliquée sensiblement uniforme sur toutes les surfaces exposées de l'ensemble de matières liées (17, 35, 52, 122, 145).

Abstract: Un support-maître de maintien (2) des charges portant des informations électrostatiques et un support de maintien (3) des charges destiné à la duplication, sont agencés de sorte qu'ils se trouvent face à face, comme la figure 2(b) le représente. On applique une tension entre les électrodes des deux supports de maintien des charges afin de provoquer une décharge et de former une image inverse des informations électrostatiques sur le support de maintien des charges afin que lesdites informations soient dupliquées. La capacitance du support-maître de maintien des charges peut être plus grande que celle du support de maintien des charges à un degré suffisant pour que, lors de la duplication, le support-maître puisse être dupliqué autant de fois que l'on veut sans perdre de contraste. Dans la figure 7, un support-maître de maintien des charges portant une couche isolante qui présente un point de ramollissement élevé, et un support de maintien des charges destiné à la duplication et possédant une couche de résine thermoplastique (4a), sont agencés de sorte qu'ils se trouvent face à face. La couche de résine thermoplastique est chargée en fonction de l'image électrostatique du support-maître de maintien des charges (2), et elle subit un chauffage et un ramollissement afin que des ondulations soient formées sur elle. On peut ainsi répéter le transfert et le développement d'une image autant de fois que l'on veut sans provoquer une perte des charges statiques.

Abstract: Individual stages of a multistage electronic receiver include a pair of conductive isolation regions around each stage to isolate each stage from the other stages and thereby prevent feedback and external noise problems. Each pair of isolation regions includes a P+ ring (49) and an N+ ring (50) adjacent to each other to shunt hole carriers and electron carriers, respectively. Removal of the carriers does not have to wait for recombination of the carriers. The region which has the same conductivity type as the substrate extends entirely through an epitaxial or diffused layer to the substrate to collect hole carriers in the substrate.

Abstract: Pure syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene is a thermoplastic resin which has double bonds attached in an alternating fashion to its polymeric backbone. Films, fibers and molded articles can be made utilizing syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene. It can also be blended into rubbers and cocured therewith. Syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene can be made by solution, emulsion or suspension polymerization. It typically has a melting point which is within the range of about 195°C to about 215°C. However, it is often desirable for the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene to have a melting point of less than about 195°C.

A pair of identical capillaries (56,58) are disposed downstream from the membrane (54), with one capillary being polarized, and the other being non-polarized. The heating of the inlet nozzle is periodically increased rapidly to cause extremely low volatility explosive vapors to evaporate and diffuse through the membrane.

Differences in the signals generated by the two detectors is indicative of the presence of an explosive. A microprocessor (74) is provided to recalibrate the detectors after each heating cycle.
