Patent EP-1045246-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PHILIPPE LOUIS
IPC: G01N25/20
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: The thermal power P is determined by passing the gas through a flowmeter (7) of standardized thermal mass, receiving informa from the flowmeter, calculating the Wobbe index for the gas, and calculating the lower (or upper) thermal power by multiplying t received information by the lower (or upper) calorific value of the reference gas and by a refining function using the gas Wobbe index The flowmeter is calibrated for the reference gas. The thermal power of the gas is regulated to a power P0, and the flow is regulated to a value Q0 equal to (1+x)P/K where x is the excess of fuel and K is a constant depending on the fuel. The reference gas is methane, propane or butane. The fuel gas is a natural gas and the refining function is f(W) = aW+b where a is 0.035-0.050 and b is 0.30-0.45. A combustion meter is used to determine the Wobbe index of the gas, or the Wobbe index is calcul from the results of the chemical analysis of the gas.   Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) a device for carrying out this process, containing a flowmeter (7), a means (6) of determining the Wobbe index of the g means (20) of receiving the information from the flowmeter and the means of determining the Wobbe index, and means of calculatin the thermal power; and (ii) a method of characterizing a flowmeter using a linear equation FGC/GC0(PCGC/PCGC0) = aWGC + b, where a and b are coefficients which are calculated using the above equation. FGC/GC0 is the correction factor to be applied to the flow rate prov by the flowmeter for a known flow of reference gas and PCGC/PCGC0 is the ratio of thermal power between the fuel gas and the reference gas. The coefficients are calculated by calculating or measuring the Wobbe index, a thermal power and the correction factor for a statistically significant number of constituents of the fuel gas. a and b are determined by plotting the product XG FGCi/GC0(PCGCi/PCGC0) and carrying out a linear regression.

Abstract: A video data transmitter Tm1 and video data receiver Rv1 are used in
combination. The transmitter Tm1 transmits the main video data vdt of a video title,
constituted from a sequence of shots being the basic units of a moving picture, and
scenes including at least such a shot, and meta data mdt including data to identify the
main video data vdt and data about shots or scenes, separately. Thus, the receiver Rv1
receives the main video data vdt and meta data mdt separately. A video editing means
601 connects the main video data vdt with a predetermined part extracted from the
main video data vdt based on the received meta data mdt to provide a preview video.

casting a molten steel injected through an immersion nozzle; (b)
measuring temperatures of a copper plate on longer side of the
mold in width direction thereof at plurality of points; (c)
detecting a flow pattern of the molten steel in the mold based
on the time-sequential variations of temperatures of the copper

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on produit un article d'information infalsifiable en créant une base ayant une surface supérieure et une surface inférieure avec une âme métallique allongée autour de laquelle un matériau plastique résineux est extrudé. Un élément support d'information magnétique est fixé à cette base. On crée une lentille en prévoyant une couche transparente allongée, en formant un hologramme dans sa surface inférieure et en appliquant des informations sur cet hologramme. La surface inférieure de la lentille est ensuite fixée à la surface supérieure de la base. Des particules protégées contre la photocopie peuvent être incorporées dans le matériau plastique résineux.

Abstract: Le lait est communément et généralement consommé dans de nombreuses sociétés dans lesquelles le risque et l'incidence du diabète, de maladies vasculaires (les cardiopathies coronariennes, les maladies cérébrovasculaires, les maladies vasculaires périphériques) et de quelques cancers sont également élevés. La mort est une issue fréquente des dommages des parois vasculaires systémiques, résultant de l'exposition à des taux de glycémie élevés et également des quantités élevées d'homocystéine plasmatique (tHcy) qui affectent une grande partie de la population et sont un facteur de risque majeur des maladies vasculaires. Le diabète est également très répandu. Cette ubiquité et une consommation régulière de lait permet : (2) de réguler le tHcy par traitement des carences sous-jacentes en folates (et autres vitamines), (3) de mettre en oeuvre la régulation des défauts du tube neural et (4) le lien causal supposé entre le diabète et la consommation de caséine de type A1 et de type B. L'objet de la présente invention propose d'y remédier en fournissant à la population un lait ou des produits laitiers modifiés comprenant (1) une vitaminisation au moyen de cobalamine, pyridoxine, acide folique et bétaïne, (2) d'une fraction unique de caséine sensiblement de type A2. En outre, l'exploitation de propriétés immunologiques de béta-casamorphine 9 (une fraction mise à digérer de peptide de béta-caséine A2) peut favoriser la régulation du diabète. Une alimentation fortifiée convenable et pratique comprend du lait traité et sélectionné et des aliments comportant des dérivés de lait, ainsi que des laits sélectionnés avec des céréales traitées.

Abstract: A process is described for producing porcelain, in particular high-strength porcelain and a ceramic insulator. To produce the porcelain, calcined bauxite is used instead of alumina. The simultaneous addition of clay and kaolin, in each case containing more than 5% by weight of foreign metal oxide inclusions, results in a porcelain which, compared to an alumina porcelain of the same mechanical strength, can be produced at significantly lower cost. The porcelain is suitable in particular for applications for highly mechanically loaded components used in electrical insulation.

Abstract: Desired signal power measured at a desired
signal power measuring circuit 105 is averaged over
a plurality of slots by an averaging circuit 106 to
reduce a power error in desired signal power of each
slot. An SIR measuring circuit 108 calculates
SIR(n)of each slot from the average value of desired
signal power in the plurality of slots and the
measured value of interference signal power of each
slot, and a TPC generating circuit 109 makes a
comparison between SIR(n) of each slot and a
threshold value, and generates transmission power
control information. This makes it possible to
control transmission power for each slot with high
accuracy in asymmetrical communication.
