Abstract: A portable storage device detachably mounted to an entertainment system capable of communicating with an information processing unit without providing any special parts having a special mechanism and increasing the processing load of the entertainment system is provided. When a file management system is loaded to a main storage device, a particular value is set to a register. ACPU checks if the contents of the register are in coincidence with the particular value before accessing a flash ROM based on the loaded contents. If they are in coincidence, the CPU accesses the flash memory and otherwise re-loads the file management system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for setting the trigger power of transmitter diodes that transmit data via optical paths allows the transmission power to be adjusted and adapted to the communication distance. The trigger power is determined for the present communication distance on the basis of a test signal before data transmission begins. A circuit arrangement implementing the method includes a driver circuit with a switching device that switches a circuit junction point selectively to a supply voltage or to a constant reference voltage, a voltage-controlled resistor which delivers the driver current and is controlled from the circuit junction point, and a voltage-controlled measuring resistor which delivers a measured current with a fixed relationship to the driver current and is controlled from the circuit junction point. Since the set trigger power can be reduced, the power consumption for data transmission can be reduced considerably.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for releasably linking the extremities of pipes (R1, R2) that are subject to thermal expansions according to the preamble of claim 1. The aim of the invention is to provide a device that compensates for said thermal expansions, that is protected from being released by an internal pressure (excessive or negative pressure against atmospheric pressure), that has a space-saving and compact design and that meets high hygienic requirements. To this end, a compensation element (6) bridges a distance between a first and a second connecting piece (2, 3) and allows for alterations of said distance by elastic deformation. A holding and straining ring (6.2) is vulcanized into every of the two end sections (E1, E2) of a deformation unit (6.1) of the compensation element (6). Said holding and straining ring forces the pertaining end section (E1, E2) against the pertaining connecting piece (2, 3) in a defined form-fit manner with the pertaining counter element (4, 5) that acts on the exterior of said end section, independent of the prestress of the compensation element (6) in the assembly state. The compensation element (6) has a tubular structure and the first and the second connecting piece (2, 4; 3, 5) are guided in a substantially coaxial manner with respect to one another. Two metal stops (4, 11, 5; 9a, 12, 4) are provided that limit the axial relative movement of the connecting pieces (2, 4; 3, 5) relative to one another.

Abstract: A stacked plate chemical reactor in which simple plates, each incorporating no surface features other that an opening, are stacked together. When openings in adjacent plates are properly aligned, a fluid pathway is defined between inlet ports for each chemical reactant and an outlet port for a chemical product. In one embodiment of the invention, sixteen simple plates are stacked to provide a reactor incorporating three heat transfer fluid pathways, two reactant fluid pathways, one product fluid pathway, multiple mixing chambers, multiple reaction chambers, two reactant pretreatment heat exchangers, two reaction chamber heat exchangers, and multiple temperature sensor pathways. Precise dimensional control of the reactant fluid pathway height enables stacked laminar flow paths for the reactants to be achieved, allowing efficient and rapid diffusion mixing to occur. Because the simple plates incorporate no features other than openings, fabrication of such plates is easily achieved. Different reactor designs, having additional reactant pathways, more or fewer heat transfer fluid pathways, more or fewer heat exchangers, more or fewer mixing chambers, more or fewer reaction chambers, and more or fewer sensor pathways can readily be achieved by adding or removing plates from the stack, and/or by changing the pattern and number of openings in the simple plates that are used. The simple plates can be held in the stack during use of the chemical reactor using pressure exerted on opposite outer simple plates of the stack, or can be permanently joined. A preferred material for the fabrication of the plates is stainless steel, although other materials such as glass, plastic, and other metals can alternatively be used, which are compatible with the selected reactants and the desired product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The two transmission/reception interfaces (1,1') use similar protocols and transmission structures, especially formats, for user data and produce, for a determined input signal, sequences of opposite processing operations. One of the interfaces transforms modulated data into baseband data and the other transforms the baseband data into the modulated data, or vice versa. Differentiation is made between the user data and the signaling data. A set of processing operations is applied to the signaling data in order to permit their interpretation by each of the interfaces. Another type of processing operations is applied to the user data so the data can be transferred from the first to the second interface, or vice versa, without the restitution/reconstitution or interpretation of their content. An Independent claim is also included for a communication system.

Abstract: A device for compressing gas using thermal energy. In a subsonic embodiment the heat gas passes through a convergent pipe C 1 where it is provided with operating velocity, a convergent pipe C 2 where it is simultaneously maintained at high speed and cooled by evaporation of liquid sprayed by nozzles R with adjustable position distributed in C 2. In a supersonic embodiment, the gas reaches sonic velocity at the throat of C 2 and supersonic velocity in a divergent DG, then compressed in a convergent CG 1 and simultaneously cooled by evaporation of sprayed liquid. In both embodiments, the gas is finally compressed in a subsonic divergent DG 1. Pipes with variable geometry enable to modify the cross-sections of the throats of the device. The device is essentially designed for thermoelectric power stations.
