Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and arrangement for controlling a glow discharge plasma in a gas or gas mixture under atmospheric conditions, in a plasma discharge space comprising at least two spaced electrodes (2), wherein at least one plasma pulse having an absolute pulse maximum is generated by applying an AC plasma energizing voltage to the electrodes (2) causing a plasma current and a displacement current. The plasma is controlled by providing a relative decrease of the displacement current after the pulse maximum. In a preferred embodiment, the energizing voltage is applied through a series circuit of a choke coil (3) and a non-saturable inductor (4).

Abstract: The valve has a valve lever and a valve pin connected to the lever. The valve lever has a motor driven counter member. First and second magnet elements are arranged respectively on the valve lever and the counter member. The counter member can move by means of the motor drive towards the valve pin. As soon as the counter member reaches a position where it contacts one of the magnets the two magnets can be attracted to each other and, at the same time, the counter member is moved away from the pin thus opening the valve opening to allow gas flow. The device also has a magnetic switch and a magnet element moveable with the valve pin such that when the pin is moved to the open position the magnet element can cooperate with the magnetic switch to switch off the valve pin drive motor holding the valve pin in the open position.

Abstract: A method and communication system (e.g., a time-division duplex (TDD) system) that uses adaptive antennas at the base stations to monitor metrics associated with the quality of one or more common physical channel (CPCH) timeslots, so as to determine whether to reuse some or all of the CPCH timeslots to transmit a dedicated physical channel (DPCH). If it is determined to reuse some or all of the CPCH timeslots, an additional determination is made as to what limit to apply on the DPCH transmission powers. Adaptive antennas may be used at the base stations to allow the system to reuse some or all of the CPCH timeslots to transmit DPCH, thus improving the overall capacity of the system while maintaining the CPCH coverage and quality at a desired level throughout the system.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à des disques optiques pouvant supporter des formats «hors-multiplex», c'est à dire que différentes composantes, telles que des données vidéo, audio ou sous-titres, sont stockées sur différents fichiers sur le disque, par exemple, des disques de type Blu-ray. Les différents flots de données sont lus par un capteur unique, nécessitant de fréquents sauts de capture et une mise en mémoire tampon de données extensive. Le procédé pour le fonctionnement d'un programme de commande pour un capteur optique réduit le nombre de sauts de capture tout en optimisant l'espace de mémoire tampon requis. Le programme de commande est basé sur un schéma statique, ce qui veut dire que la mémoire tampon (Bvideo) pour le flot de données avec le débit de données le plus élevé est de taille minimale, et donc rechargée en périodes courtes (T), tandis que les mémoires tampons pour les flots de régime plus faible (Baudio,Bsub) sont dimensionnées de sorte qu'elles peuvent être rechargées dans des multiples (n.T, n.k.T) de la période courte (T). Des déviations à partir du schéma statique peuvent être autorisées, par exemple en raison de la technique de modifications d'angle en continu. Après quoi le programme de commande revient au programme d'origine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for leveling profiles ( 5 ). When the hot-rolled profiles are cooled off, they deform considerably. Therefore, the profiles are not leveled while they are hot but are first cooled off. The inventive method for the first time allows leveling hot profiles at a profile temperature of >70° C. while maintaining their once leveled profile shape when cooled off. For this purpose, the leveling force during leveling is applied directly to the flange ( 5 b, 5 c). As a consequence, the original state of stresses in the web ( 5 a) and in the web roots remains unchanged and disadvantageous internal stresses are avoided.

Abstract: Port évolué commutateur / adaptateur réseau comprenant des ressources mémoire partagées ('SNAPMTM') accessibles sélectivement au moyen d'un élément logique à exécution directe et d'un ou plusieurs dispositifs logiques au format de module de mémoire à double rangée de connexions entièrement à tampon ('FB-DIMM'), destiné aux systèmes de calcul en grappes, qui utilise une logique d'exécution directe telle que les éléments de processeur multi-adaptatif ('MAP®', toutes étant des marques déposées de SRC Computers, Inc.). D'un point de vue fonctionnel, les modules SNAPM intègrent et attribuent les ressources mémoire de façon appropriée, de manière que la mémoire apparaisse à un ou plusieurs dispositifs logiques associés tels qu'un microprocesseur comme étant fonctionnellement similaire à n'importe quel autre système de mémoire, pour qu'il n'y ait aucune pénalité de retard lors de l'accès à cette mémoire. Par l'utilisation d'un mécanisme de coordination d'accès programmable, la commande de cette mémoire peut être passée au contrôleur de mémoire SNAPM et, une fois la prise de contrôle effectuée, le contrôleur peut déplacer les données entre les ressources mémoire partagées et le réseau informatique, de manière à ce que le transfert soit effectué avec le débit maximal pouvant être pris en charge par les dispositifs mémoire eux-mêmes. Cela permet d'assurer l'existence d'une liaison très haute performance à d'autres dispositifs réseau tels que les éléments MAP ®, cartes mémoire communes ou similaires.

Abstract: A data strobe synchronization circuit includes first and second logic circuits receiving global data strobe pulses and respective enable signal. A control circuit initially applies an enable signal to the first logic circuit so that the first logic circuit generates a first data strobe pulse responsive to each global data strobe pulse. The control circuit receives a write control signal. When the write control signal becomes active, the control circuit terminates the enable signal applied to the first logic circuit and applies an enable signal to the second logic circuit. The second logic circuit then generates a second data strobe pulse responsive to the next global data strobe pulse. The first and second data strobe pulses are used to latch a data signal in respective flip-flops. The data strobe pulses may latch the data signal in pairs of flip-flops on the leading and trailing edges of the data strobe pulses.
