Abstract: Par la modification de l'espacement entre une surface partiellement réfléchissante et partiellement transmissive (16) et une surface hautement réfléchissante (14) placée derrière la surface partiellement réfléchissante et partiellement transmissive (16), un modulateur interférométrique (12) crée sélectivement une interférence constructive et/ou destructrice entre les ondes lumineuses réfléchies par les deux surfaces (14, 16). L'espacement peut être modifié par l'application d'une tension en vue de la création d'une attraction électrostatique entre les deux surfaces (14, 16), ce qui induit la déformation d'une ou des deux surfaces (14, 16) et leur rapprochement. En l'absence de cette attraction, les surfaces (14, 16) sont en position relâchée et se trouvent plus loin l'une de l'autre. Une tension d'actionnement est nécessaire pour créer une attraction électrostatique suffisante pour induire la déformation d'une surface (14, 16). La tension d'actionnement peut être modifiée par l'implantation d'ions dans une couche diélectrique (102) fixée à une surface ou aux deux (14, 16). Lors de l'application d'une tension, les ions créent un niveau de base de répulsion ou d'attraction entre les deux surfaces (14, 16), une tension plus ou moins élevée étant ainsi requise pour induire respectivement la déformation d'une surface (14, 16). Le degré d'implantation d'ions peut être choisi pour fixer la tension d'actionnement comme souhaité, ou la déformation des surfaces (14, 16) peut être induite à une tension donnée par la sélection appropriée du degré d'implantation d'ions.

Abstract: An inexpensive fiber that has heat retaining properties, satisfactory weather resistance and heat absorption efficiency, and includes a heat absorbing material having excellent transparency; and a fiber article that uses the fiber. A particle dispersion of Cs 0.33 WO 3  is obtained by mixing Cs 0.33 WO 3  microparticles, toluene, and a microparticle dispersing agent to create a liquid dispersion, and then removing the toluene. The particle dispersion is added to and uniformly mixed with pellets of polyethylene terephthalate resin, after which the mixture is extruded, the strands thus obtained are formed into pellets, and a master batch including Cs 0.33 WO 3  microparticles is obtained. This master batch is mixed with a master batch to which inorganic microparticles have not been added, and the mixture thus obtained is melt spun and stretched to manufacture a polyester multifilament yarn. The polyester multifilament yarn is cut, polyester staple fibers are created, and a spun yarn is manufactured. A heat retentive knit article is obtained using the spun yarn.

Abstract: L’invention concerne un dispositif pour mesurer un flux de fluide, en particulier, mais non exclusivement, la vitesse et la direction du vent et/ou de l’eau. Le dispositif comprend un élément sphéroïdal (8) connecté de manière élastique par l’intermédiaire de moyens de ressorts (6) à un noyau magnétique (2), ledit noyau (2) formant une partie d’un assemblage de sonde magnétométrique. En utilisation, la déviation de l’élément sphéroïdal (8) provoque un changement dans la position du noyau magnétique (2), ce qui induit une tension dans des enroulements orthogonaux de l’assemblage de sonde magnétométrique. La grandeur de la tension induite correspond à la grandeur du flux de fluide et par une résolution des tensions induites dans les enroulements respectifs, la direction du flux de fluide peut être déterminée.

Abstract: A program pulse is applied to a set of non-volatile storage elements. The magnitude of the program pulse is chosen to be low enough such that no non-volatile storage elements will be over programmed. The non-volatile storage elements are tested to determine whether at least one non-volatile storage element (or some other minimum number) has been programmed past a test threshold. If so, the set of non-volatile memory elements is considered to have one or more fast programming non-volatile storage elements and future programming is performed using a smaller increment value for subsequent program pulses. If the set of non-volatile memory elements is not determined to have one or more fast programming non-volatile storage elements, then a larger increment value is used for subsequent program pulses until one non-volatile storage element (or some other minimum number) has been programmed past the test threshold, at which point the smaller increment value is used for subsequent program pulses.

IPC: B60G11/04

Abstract: The invention relates to vehicle suspension systems of the type with a trailing arm, and to a seat for securing the trailing arm to an axle or axle casing. Hitherto, trailing arms have been located on axles or axle casings and held in place by the force of U-bolts holding the trailing arm to the axle. Under excessive loads as can be applied to vehicle suspension systems, trailing arms can be moved out of alignment to the detriment of the running of the vehicle. To avoid such movement, seats for trailing arms are known to be welded to vehicle axes or casings and to which the trailing arms are secured such as by U-bolts. Here, manufacturing tolerances can cause a bad, relatively loose fit between the seat and axle or axle casing, causing alignment difficulties when fitting or welding the seat in place, with a large build-up of stresses in the vicinity of the weld when the trailing arm seat is subjected to torsional loading, that can be particularly damaging to an axle casing that ordinarily is formed from the thin sheet metal. The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle suspension that avoids those difficulties mentioned above, which objective is met by a construction comprising an axle and at least one trailing arm, there being a seat for the or each trailing arm, the or each seat having a primary recess in which the axle is located, the primary recess having a transverse secondary recess in which an insert is located, the insert being positively secured in the primary recess, and having end sections extending beyond the edges of the primary recess, that are positively secured to the adjacent walls of the axle.
