Abstract: In a process for producing a metal melt by reducing metal-oxide-containing material in a fluidized-bed reactor by the fluidized-bed method and by subsequently melting down the reduced material in a melt-down gasifier, in the melt-down gasifier there is generated from carbon-containing material a reducing gas which is used for reducing the metal-oxide containing material by the fluidized-bed method. Both the reducing and the melting-down are effected under atmospheric excess pressure. For the purposes of transferring the reduced material from the fluidized-bed reactor into the melt-down gasifier in a simple manner, a lower pressure is set in an intermediate vessel situated above the melt-down gasifier than in fluidized-bed reactor, and the reduced material is allowed to flow, under relaxation, upwards from the fluidized-bed reactor into the intermediate vessel and conducted from the intermediate vessel via a sluice system into the melt-down gasifier while being pressurized.

Abstract: The present invention describes an axial flow fan blade that presents innovation on its shape that results in a lower noise emission and in a higher efficiency. The axial flow fan blade, object of the present patent, has a lower vortex emission than the blades available on the previous art. This lower vortex emission is responsible for a lower level of pressure fluctuations, which results in a lower noise emission, and is also responsible for a lower energy expense on the vortex formation, which results in an efficiency increase. The present axial flow fan blade can be employed in various applications where it is necessary to move any gas.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de reconnaissance de cible radar qui consiste à produire une séquence de spectres Doppler d'échos radar provenant d'une scène et à en produire une séquence de vecteurs d'attributs Doppler pour une cible d'une scène. La modélisation markovienne cachée (HMM) est ensuite employée pour identifier la séquence de vecteurs d'attributs Doppler en tant qu'indicateur d'un membre d'une catégorie particulière de cibles. La HMM est employée pour identifier la séquence de vecteurs d'attributs Doppler par affectation à chaque vecteur d'attribut d'une probabilité d'occurrence, par sélection d'une distribution ou d'un état de probabilité d'un ensemble de ces vecteurs associés à une catégorie de cibles, par multiplication de ces probabilités d'occurrence ensemble pour obtenir une probabilité globale, par répétition d'autres distributions de probabilités dans l'ensemble pour déterminer une combinaison de distributions de probabilités donnant la probabilité globale la plus élevée pour cette catégorie de cibles, par répétition ensuite de ces opérations pour au moins une autre catégorie de cibles et par sélection de la catégorie de cibles comme étant celle qui présente la probabilité globale d'occurrence la plus élevée.

Abstract: An apparatus for electrically contacting biological cells suspended in a liquid has a substrate having at least one opening and an electrode for electrically contacting a cell immobilized above the opening. A contact unit with a contact tip is arranged below said opening. A top end of the contact tip projects into the opening in such a way that it comes to bear against a cell membrane of the immobilized cell. The contact tip has a contact channel which ends at its top end. A hydrodynamic low pressure can be exerted upon the cell membrane via the contact channel, and the electrode is electrically connected to the contact channel. In a method for electrically contacting biological cells suspended in a liquid, a cell is immobilized above an opening provided in a substrate, and the immobilized cell is contacted via at least one electrode. For contacting the immobilized cell, a hydrodynamic low pressure is generated acting on a cell membrane through a contact tip projecting into the opening.
