Abstract: The present invention relates to a rock crushing apparatus. Known apparatus operate on the distinct principles of compression crushing (compression between moving surfaces) or impact crushing (compression via high velocity rock impacting a surface). Both types of apparatus have disadvantages in the quality of the crushed product, energy inefficiency or high rotor wear rates. The apparatus (1) comprises a rotor (2) comprising a number of reciprocating (11) and fixed compression crushing elements (12, 13) to compression crush the rock between adjacent reciprocating and fixed surfaces. The positioning of these elements (11, 12, 13) within the rotor performs an arresting action on the rock to limit the maximum radial velocity (Vr) the rock attains before its ejection from the compression crushing elements (11, 12, 13) for impact crushing on an adjacent surface. In this way the disadvantages of compression and impact crushing are minimised to produce a superior product.

Abstract: Content is transmitted in an appropriate usage range for a user while the number of devices simultaneously transmitting content is limited. A content usage device periodically transmits, by means of a command, a key ID which corresponds to an exchange key. A content provision device holds the corresponding exchange key only for as long as the key ID can be received in each specified reception period. The content provision device discards the corresponding exchange key when the key ID can no longer be periodically received. Thereafter, when a command including the key ID is received, a response including information indicating that the exchange key is invalid is returned.

Abstract: Le développement rapide des technologies mobiles rend la multiplication des types de terminaux mobiles de plus en plus grande. Il existe ainsi à l'heure actuelle, dans le domaine de la téléphonie, des téléphones que nous pourrons dire classiques et des téléphones intelligents. Ces téléphones n'ont pas les mêmes contraintes. Ils supportent notamment des résolutions très variables (entre QCIF et HD). Il est donc nécessaire, lors de transfert de fichiers, d'adapter le contenu aux contraintes du terminal de réception et aux contraintes qu'impose le réseau. Mais nous devons aussi nous assurer que l'utilisateur ait un fichier de la meilleure qualité possible. Dans ce travail de recherche, nous prenons donc en compte cette problématique et nous nous concentrons sur l'adaptation de fichiers vidéo sous contraintes de taille et de résolution. Nous nous focalisons sur la phase initiale du transfert qui est la sélection des paramètres d'encodage des fichiers. Nous développons donc, dans un premier temps, un modèle permettant d'estimer la qualité à l'aide d'une base de données de notes d'opinion moyennes. Dans un second temps, nous développons un modèle permettant d'estimer la taille d'une vidéo. Ces deux modèles sont fonction de trois paramètres (résolution, taux de trame et pas de quantification). Nous déterminons ainsi une combinaison de ces paramètres optimisant la qualité réelle d'une vidéo tout en respectant les contraintes. Notre méthode a été développée à l'aide de sept vidéos et testée sur trois vidéos codées en H.264 dont la résolution varie entre QCIF et 4CIF, le taux de trame entre 3,75 et 30 images par seconde, et avec un QP variant de 28 à 44 (pas de quantification correspondant entre 16 et 102). Nous obtenons ainsi une corrélation linéaire de Pearson (PCC) entre notre modèle de qualité et la qualité réelle de 0,95. Dans le cas de l'estimateur de taille, nous obtenons une corrélation de 0,98 (PCC). Pour notre modèle global qui estime les paramètres de transcodage optimaux, nous avons ainsi obtenu une différence de qualité moyenne par rapport au cas idéal de 4,39% (modèle de qualité générique) et de 3,22% (modèle de qualité conscient du mouvement).

Abstract: A lead screw (5), a lead screw nut and a drive member are aligned with an axis (4). A coupling between the lead screw and the lead screw nut allows a helical movement of the lead screw. The drive member is rotationally locked with the lead screw nut. The lead screw is coupled with the drive member to generate a helical movement of the lead screw when the drive member is moved in one axial direction. The coupling is overridden when the drive member is moved in the opposite axial direction. Spline features (25) are arranged on the lead screw in a row (20) parallel to the axis with alternatingly small and large gaps between succeeding spline features. A stop feature of the drive member has a dimension in the direction of the axis which is larger than the small gaps and at most as large as the large gaps.

Title: Procede et dispositif pour eviter un brouillage de coexistence dans un dispositif
Inventor: KOO CHANGHOI
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2010-10-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé, un système et un dispositif permettant d'éviter un brouillage de coexistence dans un dispositif entre différentes technologies radio déployées dans des bandes adjacentes sur le même dispositif, par la commande et la séparation de la signalisation LTE et de la signalisation non LTE au moyen d'intervalles temporels spécialisés, en vue de séparer la signalisation LTE de la signalisation non LTE. De plus, l'invention concerne des procédures de transfert intercellulaire en mode coexistence, qui utilisent des événements de déclenchement selon un seuil afin d'éviter un brouillage de coexistence et de prévenir des effets ping-pong, par l'établissement d'un paramètre de "temps d'attente", pour éviter qu'un nud de réseau non brouilleur revienne vers un réseau brouilleur après un transfert intercellulaire. Le brouillage de coexistence est également évité grâce à un dispositif de demande de répétition automatique hybride (HARQ), qui indique un brouillage de coexistence en fournissant un paramètre d'intervalle de marche fixe ou variable et un paramètre d'activité indiquant la présence d'une activité non LTE, afin de maximiser un intervalle temporel pour les dispositifs non LTE dépourvus de brouillage provenant d'une activité LTE sur le même dispositif.

Abstract: A reactor (10) defines first and second flow channels (16, 17) within the reactor, the first flow channels and the second flow channels extending in parallel directions along at least the major part of their lengths. A removable non-structural catalyst insert (22, 24) is provided in those channels (16, 17) in which a reaction is to occur, the catalyst insert comprising a plurality of foils bonded together and which subdivide the flow channel into a multiplicity of flow sub-channels. At least one end portion (Q) of the catalyst insert (22, 24) is devoid of active catalytic material. The end portion (Q) that is devoid of active catalytic material suppresses the reaction in that part of the flow channel, and so reduces the requirement for any thermal transfer at that part of the flow channel.
