Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour l'exploitation d'un moteur à combustion interne, exploité dans au moins un état de fonctionnement avec un mélange air/carburant pauvre. A cet effet, on définit la masse de carburant à injecter ou la durée d'injection à transmettre en fonction d'une valeur de consigne. Pour surveiller le bon fonctionnement, on détermine le couple réel du moteur à combustion interne sur la base de la masse de carburant à injecter, de la durée d'injection à transmettre ou de la durée d'injection transmise, on le compare à un couple maximal admissible et on déclenche une réaction d'erreur lorsque le couple réel dépasse le couple maximal admissible. Parallèlement, on compare une grandeur représentant la concentration d'oxygène dans les gaz d'échappement à au moins une valeur limite prédéfinie et on déclenche une réaction d'erreur lorsque cette grandeur dépasse la valeur limite.

Abstract: Featured is a pressure control regulator including a housing, a sealing member disposed within the housing, a flexible member and a biasing mechanism. The housing includes at least one inlet aperture and at least one outlet aperture, each inlet aperture being fluidly coupled to a first pressure source and each outlet aperture being fluidly coupled to a second pressure source, the first and second pressure sources being at different pressures. The flexible member extends between the sealing member outside surface and the housing inner surface so as to form a pressure boundary therebetween and to divide the housing interior into first and second compartments. The biasing mechanism, being responsive to pressure within the second compartment, acts on the sealing member so the sealing member is in one of an open position, when the second compartment is greater than a predetermined pressure value, or a closed position, when the second compartment pressure is at or below the predetermined pressure value. A portion of the housing in fluid communication with the second pressure source, also includes a mechanism to restrict fluid flow to or from the second compartment such that the second compartment pressure changes when fluid flow in either direction occurs for a time more than a predetermined period of time and remains effectively unchanged when such fluid flow time is less than the predetermined period of time. In a more particular embodiment, the second pressure source is a suction source and the regulator is a suction pressure regulator.

Abstract: A system and method for storing error correction check words in computer memory modules. Check bits stored in physically adjacent locations within a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip are assigned to different check words. By assigning check bits to check words in this manner, multi-bit soft errors resulting from errors in two or more check bits stored in physically adjacent memory locations will appear as single-bit errors to an error correction subsystem. Similarly, the likelihood of multi-bit errors occurring in the same check word may be reduced.

Abstract: Le système de communication en mode accès multiple à répartition par code (AMCR) décrit dans l'invention comprend au moins une station (2) principale et une pluralité de stations (4) secondaires. La station (2) principale et les stations (4) secondaires peuvent échanger des signaux (18) en mode AMCR par l'intermédiaire d'un support (6) de communication. Les stations (4) secondaires comprennent chacune un modulateur (10) permettant de moduler les signaux (16) de données à l'aide de mots-codes (14) de manière à obtenir les signaux (18) en mode AMCR. Un modulateur (10) d'une station (4) secondaire module, au départ, son signal (16) de données à l'aide d'un mot-code de départ jusqu'à ce que cette station (4) soit synchronisée avec la station (2) principale. A partir de ce moment, le signal (16) de données est modulé à l'aide d'un mot-code de sortie. Dans un mode de réalisation optimal on utilise un mot-code de départ, lequel est, à chacun de ces décalages dans le temps possibles, sensiblement orthogonal à tous les mots-codes de sortie utilisés par les stations (4) secondaires déjà synchronisées. Un tel mot-code de départ n'affecte pas les signaux (18) en mode AMCR reçus et transmis par les stations (4) secondaires déjà synchronisées. De plus il est très bien adapté au processus de synchronisation d'une station (4) secondaire avec une station (2) principale. L'utilisation des codes de Walsh-Hadamard comme mots-codes correspondant au premier rang de la matrice de Walsh-Hadamard est un exemple de mot-code de départ optimal.

Abstract: An intrinsic gauging device for a ferrule type tube fitting (10) of the type having a coupling nut (14), a coupling body (12) and at least one ferrule (32), includes a precisely formed marking on the coupling body that is visually perceptible when the coupling is in a finger tight position, and that is covered or visually imperceptible or otherwise has a predetermined relationship with the coupling nut when the fitting has been initially pulled-up. In a preferred form, the marking is realized as a precision groove (50) or recess machined into a surface of the coupling body. The groove can be made more easily visually perceptible such as by roughening or knurling the surface, or coloring the surface, for example. The groove defines an edge (50b) at a precise position that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body for initial pull-up. The marking may also be formed with a precise dimension such as an axial length to provide a second edge that corresponds to a predetermined axial displacement of the nut relative to the body beyond initial pull-up for fitting assemblies that are remade.

Abstract: A print method converts page description data specifying a print document into pixel data. The print system includes a central processing unit, a first memory and a second memory that is smaller but faster than the first memory. The method extracts a display list from the page description data (503), allocates space within the first memory to serve as a page buffer and divides the page buffer within the first memory into a plurality of sub-bands. Each sub-band is smaller than the second memory. For each sub-band the method renders pixels of a current sub-band into the second memory (506). When the sub-band is completely rendered, the method transfers pixel data from the second memory to the current sub-band of the page buffer (509). When all sub-bands are rendered, the page is printed by transfer of data from the page buffer to a print engine (512). The central processing unit and the second memory are preferably disposed on the same integrated circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Two or more layers, at least one in thermoplastic, are fed continuously to an ultrasonic welding station (6) where a rotary anvil (8) is turned relative to a sonotrode (7). Layers are united in a single stage by ultrasonic welding, simultaneously weakening the weld (28) into a location of intentional separation. An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment. The multilayer product is also claimed. Preferred features: At the site of welding, tensile strength is less than that of the non-welded layers. Degree of weakening is controlled by varying the gap (14) between sonotrode and anvil. Speed of welding is 70-200 m/min, preferably 150-200 m/min. Anvil rotation speed corresponds approximately with that of sheet feed, during welding. It does not, between welding operations. During one complete turn of the anvil, separate welding operations are carried out. The weld seam meanders. The anvil is heated. Near the welding point, layers are detachably connected by ultrasonic welding, at an offset consolidation point. This takes place at the same time as welding. Such stations precede and follow the welding location. The consolidation seam meanders. Following ultrasonic welding, the material is parted into separate pieces, after which the welded layers remain connected to each other.
