Patent EP-1251213-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH ROGER
IPC: E04B5/12
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A method is described of forming a joint between the end of a timber I-beam joist and a
transverse closure such as a rim-joist, in which two holes are formed a short distance from
the end of the I-beam to be butt-jointed to the rim-joist, one in each of the upper and lower
rails of the I-beam section, the two holes being coaxial and generally aligned with and
parallel to the web of the I-beam section. The closure is positioned relative to the I-beam
and two further holes are formed through the closure and into the ends of the upper and
lower I-beam rails, generally perpendicular to and intersecting the first two holes. Two
cross-dowels are inserted into the two first holes, each having a transverse threaded
opening, and the dowels are inserted so as to align the openings with the holes which
intersect the holes containing the cross-dowels, and threaded bolts are introduced into the
intersecting holes and screwed into the threaded openings in the cross-dowels so as to draw
the joist towards the closure, and thereby clamp the joist thereto. The cross-dowels may be
formed from metal, or from a rigid plastics material or from a composite material and may
have a smooth exterior or may be externally threaded or formed with one or more annular
barbs for securing them in place. The technique may be applied on site, but more
preferably in the course of constructing a roofing or flooring panel off-site, the joints
serving to resist distortion or bending during handling of prefabricated panels, during
storage, transportation, and/or final positioning on site.

which is radially disposed relative to the bearing as a
whole. The ball tangentially contacts the inner and
bottom portions (3b, 3c) and substantially triangular oil
reservoirs are formed at opposite ends of each inner
portion (3b).

Title: Degazeur d'hydrogene a film mince multicouche
Inventor: KOVACS ALAN L
IPC: H01L23/26
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dégazeur d'hydrogène à film mince destiné à la protection d'un circuit au GaAs contenu dans un boîtier hermétique. Le dégazeur à film mince comprend un film métallique multicouche déposé par des techniques d'évaporation sous vide sur une surface du boîtier. Le film multicouche est constitué (1) d'un film de titane et (2) d'un film de palladium déposé sur le film de titane. Le titane et le palladium sont déposés au cours de la même étape du procédé de revêtement, ce qui permet d'éviter l'oxydation du titane. Le palladium permet, par ailleurs, d'éviter l'oxydation du titane une fois que le dégazeur est exposé à l'air ambiant. Cependant, l'hydrogène se diffuse facilement à travers le palladium, dans le titane, où il est lié chimiquement, du fait que le palladium est hautement perméable à l'hydrogène. Pour obtenir un blindage EMI, il suffit de former une couche de métal conducteur, à base d'aluminium ou de cuivre, par exemple, entre la couche de titane et le boîtier.

Abstract: A segmentation system (16) is disclosed that allows a segmented image (31) of a
vehicle occupant (18) to be identified within an overall image (the "ambient image")
(38) of the area (21) that includes the image of the occupant (18). The segmented
image (31) from a past sensor measurement within can help determine a region of
interest (52) within the most recently captured ambient image (38). To further reduce
processing time, the system (16) can be configured to assume that the bottom of
segmented image (31) does not move. Differences between the various ambient
images (38) captured by the sensor (22) can be used to identify movement by the
occupant (18), and thus the boundary of the segmented image (31). A template image
is then fitted to the boundary of the segmented image (31) for an entire range of
predetermined angles. The validity of each fit within the range of angles can be
evaluated. The template image can also be modified for future ambient images.

Abstract: A low noise amplifier (LNA) has a selectable bypass signal path integrated into
the same integrated circuit (IC) as the amplifier components. In a normal mode of
operation, an integrated mode switch allows an appropriate biasing signal to be applied
LNA transistors, which function to amplify an input signal and produce an amplified
output signal. In an attenuation mode, which is activated to handle large input signals,
the LNA transistors are switched off and the input signal is attenuated by a voltage
divider, which provides an attenuated output on a signal path that bypasses the LNA
amplifier. An attenuation switching signal not only operates the mode switch in the LNA,
but also selects between the normal and bypass outputs of the LNA, for further
amplification downstream of the LNA.
