Patent EP-0426338-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAJEED KAMAL NAIF
IPC: B60G17/015
Filed: 1990-10-19
Abstract: Suspension apparatus provides a real time suspension tuning control for a motor vehicle. An actuator (12) is connected to exert a variable force between the vehicle body (10) and each wheel (11). A controller (15) derives a control signal for the actuator from a linear combination of vehicle state variables derived from sensed vehicle variables, the linear combination having gains determining the relative contribution of each state variable to the control signal. The controller further stores in memory a plurality of alternative sets of gains, each stored set of gains comprising gain values suitable for producing an individual suspension performance. The controller (12) is responsive to one of the sensed vehicle variables in real time to select between the alternative sets of gains in deriving the control signal. The suspension turning characteristics are thus easily and quickly changed in emphasis between isolating, wheel control and body attitude control in real time vehicle operation.

Abstract: The method for starting up a process for deoxidising water, especially sea water which is injected into oil fields, is carried out in an installation in which, during operation, the water is contacted with a gaseous blowing agent circulating in a circulation (1), for example nitrogen, in order to remove the oxygen content of the water. The oxygen is removed from the blowing agent laden therewith in a catalytic combustion device (3) by means of a fuel consisting of natural gas or containing natural gas as a component. 
<??>When starting up the process, a gaseous or vaporous fuel having a lower ignition temperature than that of the fuel during operation is introduced for ignition of the catalytic combustion. The fuel used for the start can, for example, be vaporised methanol which is fed to the catalytic combustion process under control. After a time interval, the fuel feed is continuously restricted and at the same time the fuel consisting of natural gas or at least containing natural gas as a component is admixed at a continuously increasing rate until a desired outlet temperature of the blowing agent largely freed of oxygen is reached. This outlet temperature is higher than the starting temperature of the catalytic combustion. After completion of the start-up step, the fuel consisting of natural gas or at least containing natural gas as a component is then fed exclusively during operation to the catalytic combustion process. 
<??>This start-up method allows the catalytic combustion to be ignited in such a low temperature range that the fuel, which during operation consists of natural gas and/or contains natural gas as a component, is not ignitable.

Abstract: Un dispositif permet de mesurer par interférométrie des structures superficielles par interférométrie en mesurant la différence de phase de paires de tavelures laser aux points de mesure de ladite surface. Le dispositif comprend au moins deux sources (10-12) de lumière laser dont la fréquence ou la longueur d'onde est modulée, un diviseur (16) qui divise les faisceaux lasers générés en deux faisceaux partiels, un décaleur pour décaler les fréquences des deux faisceaux partiels l'une par rapport à l'autre et un dispositif de guidage des faisceaux qui guide jusqu'à un dispositif photorécepteur (25) les deux faisceaux partiels, l'un en tant que faisceau de référence et l'autre, interférométriquement superposé au premier, en tant que faisceau de mesure guidé jusqu'au point de mesure et réfléchi par celui-ci. Un dispositif d'évaluation (27) qui détermine la différence des phases est connecté au dispositif photorécepteur (25). Le diviseur est connecté du côté entrée par une fibre optique (13-15) avec au moins les deux sources de lumière laser (10-12), et les deux faisceaux partiels émis par le diviseur (16) se propagent pendant au moins une partie de leur parcours dans des fibres optiques (17 et 18) également, une des fibres optiques (17) ayant un prolongement (19) par rapport à l'autre. On peut ainsi générer de manière simple et économique un faisceau de mesure et un faisceau de référence ayant une différence minime de fréquence, avec une structure compacte qui requiert des ajustements minimes.

Abstract: Un textile tridimensionnel comprend une couche de chaîne formée d'une pluralité de fils de chaîne parallèles qui s'étendent dans le sens de la longueur du textile, de fils diagonaux obliques par rapport au sens de la longueur du textile, sur un plan parallèle à la couche de chaîne, et de fils verticaux qui s'étendent dans le sens de l'épaisseur du textile, traversant perpendiculairement la chaîne. Lorsque l'on produit un matériau composite avec ce textile et avec une résine ou similaire comme matrice, on réduit les déformations provoquées par des forces qui s'exercent dans le sens oblique par rapport aux textiles tridimensionnels classiques à trois axes, et on augmente son champ d'application comme matériau structural. L'invention concerne en outre un textile tridimensionnel avec un tel agencement des fils dans le sens diagonal et un procédé relativement aisé de production du textile. La couche à fils diagonaux comprend une grande quantité de fils diagonaux continus agencés sur un plan parallèle à la couche de chaîne, de façon à s'incliner symétriquement les uns par rapport aux autres, par rapport à la longueur du textile, les deux couches formant un ensemble. L'insertion des fils verticaux et l'opération de déplacement de la position d'enclenchement de chaque fil diagonal dans un ensemble de deux couches sont effectués alternativement. Pendant cette opération de déplacement des fils diagonaux, chaque fil diagonal est enclenché par la partie d'enclenchement d'un appareil d'alimentation agencé entre une position de rabattage du tissu et une partie d'approvisionnement en fils diagonaux. Les fils diagonaux sont déplacés dans des directions mutuellement opposées par l'appareil d'alimentation, dans le sens transversal du textile, selon un pas spécifique à chaque couche de fils diagonaux.

Abstract: A method for transporting material (34), situated in a delivery field (5) of a device for cutting stacked sheet material and cut into transverse strips (32), to a feeding field (3) of the device for the purpose of cutting this material into longitudinal strips is proposed, the device being provided with a cutting table (1) with a table surface (2) which has a working field (4), above which are situated a cutting knife and a pressing beam, behind this the feeding field (3) for receiving the material to be cut and in front of this the delivery field (5) for receiving the cut material, and also with an advancing device (8), assigned to the feeding field, for the material to be cut. To permit a work flow during the longitudinal cutting of material following its transverse cutting, it is proposed that the material (34) existing in transverse strips (32) be moved from the delivery field (5) to a thin-walled, plate-like transporting base (29), and the transporting base (29) together with the material (34) be supplied, via at least one table (11, 15) which is arranged at the side of the device and the table surface (13, 16) of which can be arranged at the same level as that of the cutting table (1) of the device, to the feeding field (3) of the device and the transporting base (29) be removed there in alignment with respect to the feeding field (3), the material being turned from the transverse direction into the longitudinal direction during the movement to the transporting base (29) or together with the transporting base (29) or after removal of the transporting base (29). The material (34) to be cut is thus guided past the actual cutting device, for which purpose at least one table (11, 15) is arranged at the side of the cutting device in the device according to the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A frequency divider includes three or more master-slave type flip-flop's (10,20,30) which are connected to each other to construct a 1/N frequency divider, in which two or more outputs whose periods are the same but phases are different are taken out from a master stage and a slave stage of each flip-flop, respectively and then those signals are composed to obtain a 1/(N/2) dividing output signal. As a result, a dividing output signal whose period does not vary with time can be obtained and also when the N is an even number, the output signal whose duty ratio is 1/2 can be further obtained. A pulse signal former (42,51,52) includes a differential amplifier to which two signals whose periods and pulse widths are the same but phases are different from each other by a pulse signal, and an output obtained by comparing those two signals is output from the pulse signal former. As a result, an output signal whose duty ratio is 1/2 is obtained.
