Patent EP-1232429-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CAPELLI RONALD
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: A three-dimensional graphical user interface is provided wherein the windows have a "thickness" property. In the preferred embodiment, a window will have a Z plane position (z) and a Z plane thickness (cz) as well as the traditional x, cx, y and cy. This allows positioning anywhere in three dimensional space. Using either a three axis mouse or a conventional mouse with supplemental control (perhaps keyboard), each axis may be traversed to navigate the desktop. As the pointer moves along an axis, the user's point of view can change, bringing the view either closer/farther/left/right, depending on the direction of motion, which may cause the windows perspective to change, e.g., larger or smaller. The user's perspective can pass into and through the window-blocks. As the user moves through a window-block, the mouse mickey ratio changes so that, while the cursor position or user viewpoint might change relatively rapidly in "empty space," it would change more slowly when the user's perspective or the cursor is moving through a solid window-block, thus making the window-block seem more substantial.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de microencapsulation de substances. La/les substance(s) est/sont dissoute(s) ou dispersée(s) dans un solvant organique du type partiellement miscible dans un milieu aqueux. Cette solution organique est alors mélangée à une solution aqueuse, qui est saturée avec un solvant organique et un émulsifiant pour former une émulsion. L'émulsion est alors versée dans de l'eau sous agitation continue permettant l'extraction du solvant résiduel. La formation de capsules solides s'effectue durant ce processus d'extraction. Les capsules sont soumises à une purification supplémentaire, les microcapsules pouvant être séparées de l'eau et séchées. Les conditions d'incubation de microcapsules dans des formulations contenant de l'eau permettent au processus de ramollissement de paroi de s'effectuer. Le système unique de libération contrôlée des ingrédients contenus dans les microcapsules se base sur le procédé mentionné ci-dessus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédé et appareil, aussi bien dispositifs que systèmes, destinés à réguler la production de NOx thermique (Zeldovich) dans des systèmes de combustion catalytique lors de la combustion de carburants liquides ou gazeux dans les parties post-catalytiques de turbines à gaz par la réduction du temps de résidence de la combustion dans la zone de combustion homogène (HC) par le biais de la régulation l'onde HC, principalement par le réglage de la température d'admission du catalyseur. Lorsque la température d'admission du mélange combustible/air ( vers le catalyseur) est réduite, l'onde HC descend (délai d'allumage plus long), et réduit le temps de résidence à haute température et, par conséquent, la production de NOx thermique. On peut limiter l'augmentation de compensation au niveau de la production de CO par des délais d'allumage plus longs, en localisant de manière sélective l'onde HC, ce qui permet de réduire le NOx thermique et de maintenir la production de puissance et une production de CO faible. NOx est réduit dans des proportions de l'ordre de <3 ppm, de préférence <2 ppm, CO étant maintenu à <100 ppm, d'ordinaire à <50 ppm, de préférence à <5-10 ppm.

Abstract: A bit rate agile recovery circuit that performs instant lock-on clock
recovery without glitches has a tunable voltage controlled oscillator providing
a pair of quadrature phase clock signals. The quadrature phase clock
signals are sampled by transitions in an input digital data signal to generate a
phase code. The phase code and quadrature phase clock signals are input
to a clock phase select circuit that selects one of four clock phases as the
recovered clock. The clock phase select circuit has a cascade of transistor
circuits and a single current source so that, if either bit of the phase code is
metastable, two adjacent clock phases are partially selected with a total sum
of one. The change from one clock phase to the next occurs when both clock
phases are the same so no glitches occur.
