Abstract: Near the drainage unit (20), the inner, glass-resistant lining (5a) is made from a melt-cast, electrically-conductive mineral material selected from AZS- and ZAC compounds (alumina zirconia silica refractories). A drainage opening (23) for glass from the furnace base, is arranged in the inner lining (5a). It has a drainage gap (21) across the flow direction. Two rod electrodes (22) are located on opposite sides of the flow channel (1) and drainage unit. Their end faces project into the inner layer towards the melt, but do not contact it. A predominant fraction of the electrical current flow is carried by the melt. An electrode plate (24) is located below the drainage opening. This ensures that the glass at the base of the furnace is more strongly heated than the production glass above it. The opposed electrodes are located above or below an inlet opening (21a) for glass at the base of the furnace. Above the drainage opening (23) in the inner layer (5a), a drainage gap is constructed. This narrows to the drainage opening, via two inclined sections (21b). The inclined sections include an angle of 15[deg]-45[deg] with the horizontal. Axes of the electrodes are aligned with a horizontal component directed towards the vertical axis A-A, which passes through the drainage opening. An independent claim IS INCLUDED FOR the corresponding glass extraction arrangement.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an efficient architecture for an imaging device that supports image registration for still images and video coding of a video sequence. For image registration, the described architecture uses block-based comparisons of image blocks of a captured image relative to blocks of another reference image to support image registration on a block-by-block basis. For video coding, the described architecture uses block-based comparisons, e.g., to support for motion estimation and motion compensation. According to this disclosure, a common block comparison engine is used on a shared basis for both block-based image registration and block-based video coding. In this way, a hardware unit designed for block-based comparisons may be implemented so as to work in both the image registration process for still images and the video coding process for coding a video sequence.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus for reproducing data recorded on an optical record carrier is provided having an improved lifetime of the laser light source used to read the data. The reproducing apparatus includes a laser driver unit that is adapted to drive the light output of the laser light source to change from a reading mode, in which data recorded in the optical disc is being read for being reproduced, into a laser lifetime extension mode when an operation of reading said data is paused. In the laser lifetime extension mode, the laser light source is driven to emit a pulsed light output, therefore, the amount of time in which the laser light source is on without being needed is reduced and the lifetime of the laser light source is improved.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an activity of partial electrical discharges in an electric apparatus powered with direct voltage comprises the following steps, repeated in succession at predetermined time intervals: measuring (1) analogue electrical signals and generating corresponding digital signals representative of the wave form of partial discharge impulses; deriving (2) for each of said digital signals, at least one shape parameter and at least one amplitude parameter; separating (3) the set of the measured data into homogeneous sub-sets with respect to the shape parameter; correlating (4) the sub-sets of signals having similar values of the shape parameter and measured in successive steps; selecting (5) the correlated sub-sets for which the amplitude parameter has a predetermined profile over time and attributing the signals of said subsets to partial discharge activities. The methods currently in use do not allow to monitor partial discharge activities in an apparatus in DC, because they do not allow to distinguish the signals relating to the partial discharges from those relating to noise or to disturbances.

Abstract: A control device for the position control of a hydraulic cylinder unit has a controller which receives a set and an actual piston position and determines a preliminary manipulated variable based on the difference of the set and actual positions. A linearization unit multiplies the variable with a linearization factor and outputs it to the valve control unit so that the piston is adjusted at an adjustment speed. The linearization unit determines the factor dynamically as a function of the actual piston position and of working pressures that prevail at both piston sides. The linearization factor is determined such that a ratio of the adjustment speed to the difference of the set and actual positions is independent of the actual position and the working pressures. In the specific case where the controller is configured as a P controller, the order of the controller and the linearization unit can be reversed.
