Abstract: A method of desulphurising a nitrogen oxide trap in an IC engine exhaust gas system involves: (a) determining a value corresponding to the actual SOx-receiving rate of the trap, and determining an accumulator value corresponding to the SOx amount received by the trap, by temporary integration of the value of the SOx receiving rate until the accumulator value reaches a prescribed threshold value; (b) when the received SOx amount reaches the threshold value, initiating a desulphurising cycle, whilst the trap is brought to a prescribed temperature for a prescribed time and the IC engine operated with a prescribed air/fuel ratio in this time; and (c) resetting an accumulator value after stopping the desulphurising cycle. Also claimed is an apparatus for carrying out the above method.

Abstract: In a process and apparatus for breaking down the Position Error Signal
(PES) of a magnetic or optical disk or tape drive to its contributing
components, the frequency response functions and output power spectra of
each servo system element are measured. Each input noise spectrum can then
be inferred and applied to the closed loop model to determine its effect on the
PES uncertainty. The method allows the user to identify and rank the most
critical noise sources in the positioning (110) mechanism of a drive. This
allows for optimization of the drive positioning control loop(s) by suitable
design choices. Such choices include optimization of the position encoding on
the data storage surface (such as groove dimensions in an optical drive),
optimization of the position signal detection (120, 220, 320) method (such as
the demodulation method on a magnetic disk or tape drive), and optimization
of the actuator (270, 370) design.

Abstract: Weatherable polycarbonate compositions (formulations or blends)
comprise polycarbonate, cycloaliphatic polyester resins, at least one of a
benzotriazole, benzophenone, and triazine based UVA, and a catalyst
quencher. The incorporation of the cycloaliphatic polyester resin and the

Abstract: A computer implemented method for fitting golf clubs for golfers to accommodate the swing behavior of an individual's golf swing using combinatorial logic at both the global and local levels. Specifications for a full set of golf clubs are derived from the intersection of two models labeled FITMODEL and SPECPRO. Input data is first gathered (204) and normalized (206) based upon chosen parameters. The chosen parameter relationships are analyzed (208) by FITMODEL, which in turn prescribes specifications (214) for a single reference golf club, preferably a mid-set club such as the 6-iron. SPECPRO uses the chosen parameters to analyze and generate inference (210) expressed as gradient functions - the incremental differences between each club. The gradients are used to specify (222) a full set of clubs.

Abstract: A pressure flow system and method for its use are provided for contacting the interior of a fluid permeable, e.g., porous, workpiece. The system includes a fluid pressure chamber having an inlet port and an opening formed in one of the chamber walls. An adjustable seal capable of providing a fluid-tight seal about the exterior of a workpiece having a non-uniform surface is positioned within the opening. Fluid under pressure is supplied to the pressure chamber to force fluid to flow through the internal matrix of the workpiece. In a preferred embodiment, the workpiece is a bone or a section thereof, and the fluid is forced to flow from the endosteal portion of bone to the periosteal portion of bone through the vasculature and porous structure of the bone to remove blood, bone marrow and/or other non-bone constituent(s) from the bone. Alternatively, the fluid can be chosen to decontaminate and/or demineralize the bone, to stain the bone to improve visualization of the bone microvasculature or to impregnate with pharmacological agents (antibiotics, bone growth factors, etc.) so that bone can act as a delivery system.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un égaliseur/compensateur d'écho, combiné, en parallèle et adaptatif. Cet égaliseur/compensateur d'écho reçoit au moins un signal d'entrée qui est divisé en n branchements. Ces n branchements sont multipliés par n coefficients de branchement correspondants afin de produire n signaux de sortie de branchement. Ces derniers sont alors traités par le moyen d'un pipeline auxiliaire pour produire un signal de sortie de filtre. Ce pipeline garantit une latence modérée par traitement du énième signal de sortie de branchement le plus récent, à n cycles d'horloge du signal de sortie de filtre. Le filtre à réponse impulsionnelle finie combiné est rendu pleinement adaptatif du fait de l'adaptation d'un coefficient quadratique moyen minimum différé. Les coefficients de branchement sont actualisés au moyen d'un signal d'erreur et de versions différées du signal d'entrée. Le signal d'erreur est le produit d'une erreur calculée et d'un facteur négatif d'adaptation. Le retard est égal à la somme de n + 1 cycles.

Abstract: Point d'accès (35) de périphérique d'unité centrale permettant de couper l'alimentation du système avant de connecter un autre périphérique à ce point d'extension. Plusieurs périphériques (10, 30) d'unité centrale sont connectés en guirlande. Un de ces périphériques (10) comprend une alimentation (40) servant à alimenter en courant chacun des périphériques (30). Chacun de ces périphériques (30) comprend un segment (PWR.DIS.1 et PWR.DIS.2) de circuit de validation servant à mettre en service ou hors service l'alimentation (40) Chacun de ces dispositifs (30) comprend, de plus, un point d'accès (35) servant à brancher le circuit de validation et à connecter d'autres signaux à un autre périphérique (10, 30) de la guirlande. Un panneau d'accès (38) sert à recouvrir ce point d'accès (35) quand ce dernier n'est pas en service. Quand le panneau d'accès (38) est fermé, un commutateur (32) placé au niveau du point d'accès (35) et couplé au circuit de validation du périphérique, est mis en service, de façon à mettre en service l'alimentation (40). Quand ce panneau d'accès (38) n'est pas en place et qu'aucun autre périphérique (10, 30) n'est connecté au point d'accès (35), le commutateur (37) se trouve dans une position différente provoquant la mise hors service de l'alimentation (41). Si un autre périphérique (10, 30) est connecté correctement au point d'accès (35), le commutateur (37) se trouve alors en première position, de manière à provoquer la mise en service de l'alimentation (41), à condition que tous les autres périphériques (10, 30) de la guirlande soient également connectés correctement. De ce fait, le retrait d'un panneau d'accès (38) sur un des périphériques (10, 30), tandis que le système est alimenté en courant, provoque la coupure de l'alimentation du système avant de pouvoir connecter un autre périphérique (10, 30) au point d'accès (35), ce qui empêche l'apparition de tensions transitoires susceptibles de provoquer des dégâts, lorsqu'on effectue une connexion au niveau du point d'accès (35).
