Abstract: L'invention concerne une plaque de séparation qui sépare un flux principal de fluide d'un flux secondaire de fluide. Le flux principal est constitué d'une portion minoritaire de particules de dimension supérieure à une  </= dimension fixée  >/=  alors que le flux secondaire est constitué d'une portion majoritaire de particules de dimension supérieure à la dimension fixée. Les plaques définissent un passage s'étendant latéralement entre une face avant de la plaque de séparation et sa face arrière. Ledit passage diminue ou converge à partir d'une hauteur initiale au niveau de l'entrée vers une hauteur sensiblement plus faible au niveau de la sortie. Une fente s'étend transversalement dans les plaques, à partir d'une portion du passage du flux secondaire et relie des orifices de sortie du flux principal. Le flux du fluide dans la sortie est ainsi divisé en un flux principal qui s'écoule à partir des orifices de sortie du flux principal et en un flux secondaire qui sort de la sortie du passage. Afin de permettre l'écoulement d'un flux désiré de fluide, la largeur du passage peut être modifiée, ou un ensemble de plaques de séparation empilées peut être utilisé.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a dynamic wave-pipelined interface are implemented. Data signals received from a sending circuit delayed via a programmable delay device corresponding to each signal before being latched into the receiving device. The programmable delay in each delay device is set according to an initialisation procedure whereby each signal is deskewed to a latest arriving signal. Additionally, a phase of an input/output (I/O) clock controlling the latching of the data signals is adjusted so that a latching transition is substantially centred in a data valid window.

Title: Thermoforming method and apparatus
Inventor: FITZELL JAMES RICHARD JR
IPC: B29C33/38
Filed: 2002-03-22
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A thermoforming apparatus having a mold with an internal vacuum chamber and a quench for cooling a thermoplastic sheet while it remains on the mold. Because the quench cools the sheet, conventional cooling lines are eliminated from the mold. A preferred process of using the thermoforming apparatus includes drawing a heated sheet over the mold, creating a partial vacuum in the vacuum chamber of the mold to maintain the sheet on the mold and quenching the sheet on the mold in a quenching tank. A preferred process of manufacturing a mold with an interior vacuum chamber includes forming an impression of the mold in a casting media, suspending a vacuum line or vacuum cabinet within the impression and pouring molten material around the vacuum line or vacuum cabinet to form the mold at least partially surrounding the vacuum line or vacuum cabinet. Vacuum holes are drilled through the mold from the mold face to the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: The invention provides a positive electrode material and a battery using the same which can achieve a higher discharge voltage and which can obtain excellent charge-and-discharge properties, without reducing the capacity. A positive electrode (12) and a negative electrode (14) are configured through a separator (15) in between. The positive electrode (12) contains a compound expressed by a general formula Li1+xMnyFezPO4 (wherein x, y and z are values within ranges of 0<x<0.1, 0.5<y<0.95, and 0.9<y+z~ 1, respectively). According to the compound, the higher discharge voltage can be obtained due to Mn, the Jahn Teller effect of Mn3+ can be attenuated and furthermore distortion of the crystal structure and the reduction of the capacity can be inhibited due to Fe and the excess Li.

Abstract: Methods of producing plants having tissue-specific expression of one or more target genes are taught, as are methods of producing plants having tissue-specific and environmental or developmentally-regulated expression of one or more target genes. A genetic construct is taught which contains a nitrogen assimilation and/or metabolism gene and a promoter for the gene which is inducible under conditions where it would be beneficial to take up, store or use nitrogen. The promoter can be, for example, induced by the presence of nitrate or other form of nitrogen and will be induced by application of a nitrogenous fertilizer. The stress inducible promoter btg-26 is also taught. Promoter btg-26 is isolated from the Brassic a turgor gene - 26 and exhibits osmotic-stress induced and tissue-specific expression of an operatively linked gene. The present invention also provides for methods to produce plants with increased biomass and seed yield.

Title: Method and system for power line null detection and automatic frequency and gain control
Inventor: BARTHOLOMEW DAVID
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2001-04-17
Granted: 2008-08-26
Abstract: A system and method for detecting power line null frequencies and for adjusting the transmit frequency and transmit power to maximize the reliability and efficiency of the AC power line transmission link. The system includes a programmable logic device (102) in the transmitter, which receives information (101) and generatesa control signal (103) which controls the gain of amplifier (109) and provides a PPL control signal (104) for directing the Phase Locked Loop (105) in its selection of multiple frequencies for transmission to a receiver. A receiver detects and records the bit error rate and/or the received noise per frequency and communicates this information to the transmitter. When all desired frequencies have been transmitted and tested, the optimal frequency is identified or selected. Generally, the optimal frequency is the frequency requiring the lowest transmit power while maintaining an acceptable bit error rate or an acceptable noise level.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour le masquage d'erreurs dans des champs de transmission de données audio numériques. Le procédé selon l'invention initialise un masquage d'erreurs à des valeurs initiales, le masquage d'erreur étant ensuite adapté par une qualité de réception déterminée au niveau des données audio numériques effectivement reçues. Le masquage d'erreurs est effectué après le décodage de voie, par égalisation du spectre audio. Les valeurs initiales sont calculées soit à partir de la qualité de réception effectivement calculée, soit à partir d'une qualité de réception provenant d'une voie audio précédemment réglée, le niveau de protection d'erreurs de voie des deux voies audio étant en outre comparé. La qualité de réception est déterminée à partir du taux d'erreurs sur bits, du nombre d'erreurs de facteurs scalaires ou du nombre d'erreurs de totaux de contrôle. La voie audio précédemment réglée peut aussi être une voie audio à modulation de fréquence. Le temps de stockage pour le nombre d'erreurs de transmission de la voie audio précédemment réglée est pris en compte pour l'initialisation du masquage d'erreurs.

Abstract: System for decentralized storage and rapid retrieval of medical data among geographically separate locations, connected by data paths of limited bandwidth, which optimizes transmission therebetween. Medical data is separated into bulk content and metadata. Metadata is transmitted to all locations. Bulk content is copied to selected locations based on desired duplication, available storage, distance, transmission cost, data path bandwidth or utilization, likelihood of retrieval calculated from the metadata, requests to use or prior usage of content or information from a system that manages the content. Transmission rate is limited and bulk content is queued for transmission based on priority calculated from metadata, from requests to use content or information from a system that manages the content. Optimal locations for bulk content are recalculated based on requests to use content, new patient appointments, data path or equipment failures. Copies are made or deleted. Distributed lists of locations for content are updated.

Abstract: A cigarette sidestream smoke treatment material made from a sheet of non-combustible active components provides a porous structure capable of treating sidestream smoke. The treatment material, as used in combination with a cigarette, provides a low sidestream smoke emitting cigarette unit. The material has a porosity which encourages a conventional free-bum rate of a conventional cigarette. The material may comprise a sorbent capable of sorbing components of the sidestream smoke, and an oxygen storage component which releases oxygen at free-burn rate temperatures to ensure that conventional free-bum rate is maintained and to enhance the oxidation treatment of the adsorbed non-aqueous components. Preferably, an oxidation catalyst is included in the material and most desirably the oxygen storage component may also function as the oxidation catalyst. Particularly preferred materials which perform the dual function are oxides of cerium.
