Abstract: In the process as per the invention, one alternative per step is selected from a plurality of alternatives for the individual steps and a problem-solving unit is constructed from these alternative steps. This problem-solving unit is then executed and the result is compared with the problem. Different alternatives for individual steps enable different units to be constructed, yielding different results. The results are evaluated and this evaluation is used to assign weightings to the individual steps. Selections can be made from the step alternatives and the selected step alternatives multiply copied so as then to construct units again from the step alternatives thus produced. This results in an evolutive adaptation of the units to the problem to be solved, by which the solution to the problem can be found.

Abstract: The invention involves a catheter for introducing a delivery member such as a guidewire having an implant coupled thereto via an electrolytically disintegratable link that is coupled to the anode of a power supply having an anode and a cathode. The catheter comprises an elongated tubular member having an outer surface, proximal and distal end portions, a lumen extending between those portions, an electrode and a conductor. The electrode is disposed within the outer surface of the tubular member in the vicinity of the distal end portion and has a surface that faces and communicates with the lumen. The electrode is electrically coupled to the conductor which, in turn, is adapted for coupling to the power supply cathode such that when the electrolytically disintegratable link is placed in an electrolytic solution, such as can be found in an aneurysm, and positive current is provided from the power supply to the link, current from the link may return to the cathode of the power supply via the electrode. With this construction, the electrode is shielded from endolumenal structures which could otherwise increase the resistance in the current path from the sacrificial link to the electrode. The positioning of the electrode in the catheter as described above allows a reproducible impedance path from the electrode to the detachment zone, thus reducing detachment time variability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dans une suite de distribution d'appels automatiques (ACD) comprenant un central automatique d'abonné (10) et un système ACD associé (12), utilisé uniquement pour gérer une équipe de travail d'agents locaux, le système ACD distribue des appels externes entrants à plusieurs terminaux internes (22) du central automatique d'abonné selon un ensemble de règles prédéterminées. Un système de télétravail pourvu d'un contrôleur d'intégration ordinateur/téléphonie ou 'CTI'(26) connecté au central automatique d'abonné est configuré pour sélectionner un terminal disponible (34) dans un ensemble de terminaux (22), désignés comme des terminaux 'factices', pour recevoir l'identité d'un télétravailleur demandant du travail (ou pour sélectionner l'identité d'un télétravailleur qui l'on doit donner du travail). Ce système permet également de commander au système ACD d'enregistrer l'identité du télétravailleur en association avec l'identité du terminal factice sélectionné. Lorsque le contrôleur détecte que le système ACD a connecté un appel entrant à un terminal factice sélectionné, il commande au central automatique d'abonné d'effectuer un appel externe sortant à destination d'un télétravailleur au niveau du terminal de télétravail enregistré 36, et de connecter les deux appels en mode conférence. L'appel à destination du terminal factice peut faire l'objet d'une réponse et d'une mise en attente jusqu'à ce que le télétravailleur réponde et soit connecté en conférence. La réponse à l'appel peut intervenir après la réponse du télétravailleur à la suite de quoi la liaison est établie. Le contrôleur CTI peut être prévu pour lancer des appels en mode télévente. Tous les appels opérationnels impliquant le télétravailleur proviennent du centre d'appel. En outre, le système ACD est programmé pour enregistrer l'identité d'un télétravailleur avec une identité de terminal. Ainsi, le système ACD va inclure le télétravailleur dans ses relevés statistiques comme si le télétravailleur était un agent local, et seul le contrôleur 'sait' que l'agent est un télétravailleur et que le terminal est un terminal factice.

Abstract: Electrical connectors capable of being mounted on circuit substrates by BGA techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing such connectors. There is at least one recess (20,22,24,26,28) on the exterior side of the connector elements. A conductive contact (16) extends from adjacent the interior side of the into the recess on the exterior side of the housing. A controlled volume of solder paste is introduced into the recess. A fusible conductive element, in the form of solder balls (82,100) is positioned in the recess. The connector is subjected to a reflow process to fuse the solder ball (82,100) to the portion of the contact extending into said recess. Contacts (66) are secured in the insulative housing of the connector by deformable sections that minimize stress imposed on the housing, thereby reducing warpage. Solder resist areas are formed on central portions of the contacts to promote uniformity of solder volume. As a result of these features, substantial coplanarity of the BGA array along the mounting interface of the connector is achieved.

Abstract: The oxidised nitrogen concentration of a gaseous effluent produced during incineration of domestic waste is reduced by a selective non-catalytic reduction process. Sludges produced during municipal waste water treatment or during industrial manufacturing processes are used as functional chemical agent. Domestic waste (OM) is introduced (1) to a furnace (2) and burnt. Ash is removed form the base of thr furnace (3) and gas (EG) passes up a tower (5) at a temperature of 850-1000 deg.C, where the sludge (CC) is add (25). Sludge (CC) is introduced into the gas stream leaving the furnace (2) by one or more sprays (41) which face downwards, towards the furnace. Compressed air (50) is also fed to the sprays along with water (58) to adjust the solids concentration of the sludge and ammonia (59) at a concentration of about 2% in the form of urea, primary or secondary amines or ammonia. The sludge is adjusted to contain about 20% solids, or which just over half are organic. Sludge may be sprayed from a point, line or surface at one or more positions in the tower (4). Compressed air is used to help form the droplets. The sprays can be easily withdrawn from the tower by moving horizontally on tracks. When outside the tower they can be cleaned with water. After leaving the tower the gas stream is subjected to heating, electrofiltration, a heat exchange condenser, cooling and removal of ash and fine particles.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé consistant à générer soit une première impulsion électrique qui possède une amplitude telle que la buse d'une imprimante à jets d'encre va éjecter une gouttelette d'encre, soit une seconde impulsion électrique qui possède une amplitude moindre que la première et va faire s'écouler l'encre dans la buse, l'une ou l'autre de ces impulsions étant appliquée sur un système générateur de pression qui exerce une pression sur l'encre se trouvant dans ladite buse. Lorsque l'on applique la seconde impulsion électrique sur le système générateur de pression, la buse n'éjecte aucune gouttelette d'encre. En revanche, lorsque cette seconde impulsion est appliquée, l'encre située à proximité de la buse va s'écouler, tandis que l'encre la plus visqueuse située à l'extrémité avant de la buse va se mélanger à l'encre moins visqueuse se trouvant à l'intérieur de ladite buse. Ce système permet d'abaisser globalement la viscosité de l'encre située à proximité de la buse, et de faciliter ainsi l'éjection d'une gouttelette d'encre.
