Patent EP-1442612-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WILLEMSEN OSCAR H
IPC: H01J29/34
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: Picture display device (1) comprising a cathode ray tube (2) whose display screen (4) is provided with parallel image lines (10) along which an electron beam (5) is scanned, and with pairs of first and second phosphorescent index elements extending along opposed sides of each image line (10). The device also comprises a pair of photodetectors (31,32) for generating index signals indicative of the amount of irradiation by the electron beam (5) of said index elements. An error signal is constructed based on a difference of said index signals for correcting the shape and/or the position of the electron beam (5) on the screen. The index signal of one of the photodetectors is indicative of the amount of irradiation of both the first and the second index elements (11, 12), which improves the detection efficiency of said detector and the signal/noise ratio of its index signal. This results in a better error signal and thus in a better image quality.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de diriger un flux d'eau. Cet appareil, qui est fixé à la poupe d'un bateau, au-dessous de la surface de l'eau, est caractérisé en ce qu'il présente une surface principale supérieure sensiblement convexe et une surface principale intérieure sensiblement concave. Cet appareil permet à un bateau d'atteindre une assiette plus ou moins horizontale, y compris à des vitesses élevées, et d'éviter presque complètement une inclinaison vers l'arrière. En partie grâce à cet appareil, il est désormais possible, notamment à des bateaux en déplacement lège présentant une inclinaison en forme de V, d'atteindre des vitesses élevées. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'appareil est caractérisé en ce que, sur une position proche de l'avant de l'appareil, la surface concave se transforme en surface convexe.

La fraction légère est retirée d'au moins une partie de son sulfure d'hydrogène et peut être recueillie ou envoyée vers un mélange d'essence. La fraction lourde passe par une seconde étape d'élimination au cours de laquelle au moins une partie de tout soufre lié organiquement restant est éliminé.

Abstract: A caliper for measuring tree diameters of trees. A slide having a permanent magnet is movable along a graduated rule, the caliper including a pair of legs, one leg attached to one end of the rule, and another leg attached to the slide. An electronic unit measures the position of the slide along the rule and stores measurement values and other desired data. A wire extends within a longitudinal internal cavity in the rule and co-acts with a piezo crystal adjacent an end of the caliper. The wire is connected to a pulse generator that generates short electric pulses of predetermined duration. The caliper also includes a detector that co-acts with the piezo crystal and with the pulse generator pulses to detect a geometric change in the wire that is sensed by the piezo crystal, which emits an electrical pulse in response to that geometric change.
