Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring structural changes of an electrode in a rechargeable battery include an in situ x-ray electrochemical cell (30) comprising top and bottom cell members (32, 34) including at least one beryllium window element (36) for transmission of diffractometer x-radiation. A rechargeable battery (43) mounted within the x-ray cell enclosure comprises an electrolyte/separator element (68) interposed between positive and negative electrodes (64, 66). A current collector element (70) formed of an electrically-conductive open-mesh grid is disposed between the positive electrode and the separator to enable ion-conducting contact of the electrode and separator while maintaining electrical continuity between the electrode and an external x-ray cell terminal (54). As a result of this arrangement, the positive electrode need not contact the window element to establish an electrical battery circuit, but may be sufficiently spaced from the window to avoid electrolytic corrosion of the beryllium element. The in situ x-ray electrochemical cell and battery structure allow for continuous monitoring of the structural changes in electrode materials during charge/discharge cycling.

Abstract: Le dispositif selon l'invention est un dispositif enregistreur à répartition des gouttelettes à la demande comportant une tête d'enregistrement (3) constituée d'un réseau quasiment linéaire (55) de buses (33) destinées à l'émission de gouttelettes d'encre, ce réseau se déployant dans une première direction (7), chaque buse étant en communication avec une chambre de pression (25) associée avec un actionneur (11) ne déclenchant l'émission de gouttelettes d'encre que lorsqu'un signal prédéfini lui est adressé. Les buses sont constituées d'une première série de trous de passage (33) situés sur une plaque à buses (27) formant une paroi de la chambre de pression. Un équipement de transfert (57, 59) transporte un support d'enregistrement (61) de manière que l'une des faces de celui-ci soit tournée vers les buses et qu'il se déplace dans une seconde direction (63) transversale à la première (7). Une plaque de déviation (8) est installée sur une face (30) de la plaque à buses (27) qui se détache de la chambre de pression (25), cette plaque de déviation comportant une seconde série de trous de passage (48) en nombre égal à ceux de la première série (33). Le diamètre (D) de chaque trou de passage de la seconde série (48) est supérieur à celui (d) du trou de passage de la première série (33) correspondant et la plaque de déviation (8) est susceptible de se déplacer par rapport à la plaque à buses (27) parallèlement à la première direction (7). Un équipement d'entraînement (9) imprime à la plaque de déviation (8) un mouvement oscillant parallèle à la première direction (7), ce mouvement étant centré autour d'une position de repos dans laquelle les trous de passage correspondants de la première (33) et de la seconde série (48) sont quasiment alignés. Une unité de commande (71) met en marche la tête d'enregistrement (3) de façon à ce que l'émission de gouttelettes d'encre en provenance de chaque buse (33) soit en corrélation avec la position momentanée de la plaque de déviation (8) par rapport à la plaque à buses (27).

Title: Method of decoration
Inventor: EVANS TIMOTHY BARRETT
IPC: B41M5/035
Filed: 1996-10-08
Abstract: A method of decorating an article, especially an article made of plastic material (for example, an acrylic bath panel). The method may involve the application of a decal (10), which contains sublimation inks, to the article. Alternatively, the method may involve the direct application of decorative material to the article. After the application of the decorative material to the article, the latter may be formed using conventional vacuum forming techniques or using injection moulding techniques. In all cases, the decorative material is caused to sublime so that it (at least in part) diffuses into the surface of the article to be decorated. A protective film may be applied to the article before the decorative material is applied; in such cases the decorative material sublimes through the protective film into the surface of the article.

Inventor: GEISLER JOSEPH P
IPC: H03K19/017
Filed: 1996-10-15
Abstract: A driver circuit is provided which unconditionally discharges a bus conductor during clock cycles in which the driver circuit is transmitting a value. The unconditional discharge occurs during a first drive phase of the logic drive state. During a second drive phase, the driver circuit either charges or continues to discharge the conductor based on the data value being transmitted. Since the conductors are transitioning in the same direction at approximately the same rate, line to line coupling is virtually non-existent during the first drive phase. By partially discharging bus conductors during the first drive phase, transition speed is increased to the point at which a receiving circuit senses the transmitted value. Effectively, the line-to-line coupling which would have occurred during the first drive phase is endured during the second drive phase, when certain conductors may be recharged. Shifting the coupling to the second drive phase results in the more rapid transition of the bus signals during the first drive phase.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a Y/C separating circuit which is able to separate a chroma signal and a luminance signal from a composite video signal which does not correlate in the vertical direction. 
     A Y/C separating circuit extracts a frequency component of a chroma signal band from a composite video signal to produce a chroma band signal, delays the composite video signal by an n number of horizontal scanning periods to produce a delayed composite video signal, extracts a frequency component of the chroma signal band from a delayed composite video signal to produce a delayed chroma band signal, invert the chroma band signal to produce an inverted chroma band signal, detects a second largest signal level among the chroma band signal, the delayed chroma band signal, and the inverted chroma band signal as a second-order-level signal, subtracts the chroma band signal from the second-order-level signal to divide the resulting signal level by 2 so as to produce a signal which can be regarded as a chroma signal.
