Abstract: This n-phased electromagnetic motor having two rotation senses and in which n is greater than 1, is particularly intended to drive the mechanism of a timepiece movement. It comprises n magnetic circuits, each being magnetically decoupled from n-1 other magnetic circuits. Each magnetic circuit includes two stator poles (4a and 4c, 4b and 4d) each comprising a polar expansion (6a to 6d respectively) partially defining a stator cavity (3) in which a rotor (2) is housed. These two stator poles are diametrally opposite one another relative to the axis (X-X) of the rotor (2). The magnetic separation of the magnetic circuits is assured by means of one or several gap(s) (15) judiciously arranged.

Abstract: The pallet-mounted container (1) for transporting and for storing liquids has a collapsible outer shell (2), which is releasably attached to a pallet (12) and consists of a metal lattice work, and a support insert (5) which rests against the outer shell (2) and can be folded together for the thin-walled plastic inner container (6). The plastic inner container (6) consists of a rigid, dimensionally stable lower part and a flexible upper part which can be inserted in the lower part for stacking and transporting purposes. For the purposes of empty transportation, the pallet-mounted container (1) can be dismantled easily and quickly and fitted together to form a space-saving transport unit.

Abstract: A Parallel RISC computer system is provided by a multi-mode dynamic multi-mode parallel processor array with one embodiment illustrating a tightly coupled VLSI embodiment with an architecture which can be extended to more widely placed processing elements through the interconnection network which couples multiple processors capable of MIMD mode processing to one another with broadcast of instructions to selected groups of units controlled by a controlling processor. The coupling of the processing elements logic enables dynamic mode assignment and dynamic mode switching, allowing processors operating in a SIMD mode to make maximum memory and cycle time usage. On and instruction by instruction level basis, modes can be switched from SIMD to MIMD, and even into SISD mode on the controlling processor for inherently sequential computation allowing a programmer or complier to build a program for the computer system which uses the optimal kind of parallelism (SISD, SIMD, MIMD). Furthermore, this execution, particularly in the SIMD mode, can be set up for running applications at the limit of memory cycle time. With the ALLNODE switch and alternatives paths a system can be dynamically achieved in a few cycles for many many processors. Each processing element and memory and has MIMD capability the processor's an instruction register, condition register and program counter provide common resources which are used in MIMD and SIMD. The program counter become a base register in SIMD mode. In one embodiment all instruction registers are coupled to form a common broadcast path, and in an alternative embodiment, the ALLNODE switch is utilized as an alternative path for broadcast to all processors coupled by the interconnection network to be chosen as the system of choice. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The conventional flywheel is often used for (1) energy storage (2) pulse absorption, and its internal characteristics are fixed so that ernergy absorption and release always manifest themselves as a speed increase during energy storage and a speed decrease during energy release. The present invention relates to the priciples and structure of variable-inertia flywheels which enable the control and adjustment of the relationship between energy storage and release, and speed; when flywheel is used speed rate change can be minimized due to moment change, and due to dynamic energy is in direct proportion to the square of inertia mass times speed, where if flywheel speed is defined as (2 -Rn) then dynamic energy stored in the flywheel is: <MATH>  where,   E:   energy, ft lbf or J m:   flywheel mass, lbm or kg gc:   converting factor = 32.2 lbm FT/(lbf S<2>>       = 1.0 kg/(N S<2>) R:   gyration radius, ft or m n:   rotation per second (r/min)/60   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tracking system employing global positioning system (GPS) satellites provides extremely accurate position, velocity, and time information for vehicles or any other animate or inanimate object within any mobile radio communication system or information system, including those operating in high rise urban areas. The tracking system includes a sensor mounted on each object, a communication link, a workstation, and a GPS reference receiver. The sensor operates autonomously following intialization by an external network management facility to sequence through the visible GPS satellites, making pseudo range and delta range or time difference and frequency difference measurements. No navigation functions are performed by the sensor, thereby permitting significant reductions in the cost thereof. The raw satellite measurements, with relevant timing and status information, are provided to the communication link to be relayed periodically back to the workstation. Differential corrections may also be provided at the workstation to increase the accuracy of the object location determination. In normal operation, three satellite measurements are required to compute the location of the object, but for a short time period a minimum of two satellite measurements are acceptable with time, altitude, and map aiding information being provided by the workstation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An incinerator for use in incinerating substantially hollow articles is provided with crimping means (31, 36) adapted to plastically deform a portion of the article. Typically the article comprises an elongate hollow medical needle (64) and therefore the incinerator typically includes a pair of spaced electrically conductive contacts (25/26, 27/11) defining a gap across which an electrical potential difference is set up. When the needle is brought into contact with the pair of contacts, the portion of the needle bridging the gap is incinerated. The crimping means (31, 36) acts to provide a substantially sealed end or termination to the portion of the needle which is not incinerated. Potentially harmful fluids which may be present in the remaining portion of the needle or the syringe to which the needle is attached are thereby effectively sealed in the needle and syringe.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making closed-cell, alkenyl aromatic polymer foam packing bodies or foam strands. An alkenyl aromatic polymer material is heated to form a melt polymer material. A blowing agent is incorporated into the melt polymer material at an elevated pressure to form a foamable gel. The blowing agent has 20 weight percent or more of a first blowing agent selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide and ethane. The foamable gel is extruded through a die to form a foam strand. The foam strand is optionally pelletized to form a plurality of foam bodies. The bodies are further expanded by exposing them one or more times to heated air or steam. Preferably, the strands or bodies are allowed to age for a preselected period of time before and between subsequent expansions. The use of carbon dioxide and/or ethane as blowing agents allows the reduction or elimination of certain blowing agents dassified as volatile organic contaminants, which are currently being employed commercially in making foam bodies.

Abstract: The hot and polluted gas issued from a thermal reactor (10) including a combustion and supplied with combustive air are introduced into a filter (20) and scrubbed before going back to the atmosphere. A mass and heat exchange is effected in an exchanger (150) between, on the one hand, the hot and filtered gas, and on the other hand, the air taken from the atmosphere so as to recycle the residual enthalpy contained in the filtered and scrubbed hot gas, in the form of hot and very damp air intended to form at least one portion of the combustive air introduced through a line (154) into the reactor (10). The exchanger (150) provides for the rejection to the atmosphere through an outlet conduit (152) of relatively dry combustion gas having a temperature slightly higher than that of the ambient temperature.
