Abstract: Luminaires (10) for illuminating a target zone (13) having target zone subregions in front of and to the sides of the luminaire. The luminaire includes a housing (17), a lamp holder (13) in the housing positioned to support an electric lamp (19) in a generally vertical orientation, and a compound parabolic reflector (11) in the housing partially surrounding a lamp light-emitting segment (47) location having plural regions (51, 53, 55). Preferred forms of the compound parabolic reflector include segmented center (59) and side portions (61, 63). The preferred segmented center portion has a first plurality of two-dimensional parabolic segments (73, 75, 77) each of which has a focal point (79, 81, 83) in a different one of the plural light-emitting segment location regions. The preferred segmented side portions are each provided with a second plurality of two-dimensional parabolic segments (101-131) having focal points (138) along the light-emitting segment location. The parabolic segments are effective to direct a preponderance of light toward the target zone subregions.

Granted: 2017-06-13
Abstract: Rotary breakers and other screening equipment include process holes formed by a matrix of bars. The spacing between at least the longitudinal (or axial) bars making up the process holes may be varied or controlled. For example, the spacing between the longitudinal bars can be selected to improve the flow of desired product material through the process holes. The process holes may have an angled trailing edge side with respect to the material flow direction to better capture the product material and to reduce wear. The longitudinal bars also may have a modular construction to allow for relatively easy removal, repair, replacement, and/or repositioning.

Abstract: Les modes de réalisation décrits fournissent un système et un procédé servant à associer des enregistrements de données dans plusieurs langues au sein d'un concentrateur unique. A l'arrivée d'un enregistrement provenant d'une source d'informations couplée au concentrateur, celui-ci est associé à une langue spécifique dans une couche centrale. Le concentrateur associe chaque langue une à une avec un type d'élément. Pour chaque enregistrement de données d'un type d'élément spécifique, on utilise un code de dérivation unique pour réaliser la standardisation et le compartimentage dans une couche dérivée. On peut utiliser une pondération pour équilibrer la richesse des langues de manière à ce que les enregistrements de données dans les différentes langues puissent avoir la même signification statistique. Puisque les attributs sont standardisés par rapport à une langue d'un enregistrement de données, il est possible de transmettre des langues ou un script appropriés en même temps que l'enregistrement de données. Le concentrateur peut ainsi faire correspondre l'enregistrement de données avec l'algorithme ou les algorithmes optimaux en vue du traitement de l'entité dans une couche d'entité.

Abstract: The present invention provides a valve that controls a flow of gas or solid objects through a pipe, and particularly a z-valve used in an elevated rail trans-portation system. The valve includes vanes hinged to a valve stem that fold into a z--shape and retract into the valve body when the valve is open. A valve cap positioned at the top of the valve stem matches the contour of the inner surface of the pipe, al-lowing unobstructed flow. When the valve is closed, the valve stem is elevated into the interior of the pipe and the valve cap rotates 90 to match the contour at the top, providing a seal. The vanes extend from the z-shape to completely block a cross-sec-tion of the pipe, stopping the flow. The flow may be modulated by varying the exten-sion of the vanes to allow a portion of the flow to pass the valve.

Abstract: To produce a memory which resists ion or photon attack, a memory structure is chosen whose memory point behaves asymmetrically with regard to these attacks. It is shown that in this case, it is sufficient to have a reference cell for an identical and periodic storage structure in order to be able to correct all the memory cells assailed by an attack. An error correction efficiency of ½ is thus obtained, with a simple redundancy, whereas the conventional methods make provision, for the same result, to triple the storage, to obtain a less beneficial efficiency of ⅓.

Abstract: The thrust vectoring apparatus comprises: a housing defining a primary outlet for emitting the primary jet; Coanda surfaces extending from opposing regions of said housing, and radially spaced from the primary outlet such that a step is defined between each Coanda surface and the primary outlet; ducts leading from a fluid source to secondary outlets; and flow control means operable to control the mass flow through the secondary outlets. When the jet engine operates to exhaust a primary jet through the primary outlet, low pressure regions are formed in the vicinity of the steps. Each secondary outlet is located adjacent one of the Coanda surfaces so as to emit a secondary flow into a low pressure region. On activation of the secondary flow by the flow control means, the primary jet is entrained by the Coanda surface opposing the Coanda surface adjacent said the secondary outlet from which the secondary flow has been emitted. Method of vectoring the thrust or of upgrading existing jet engines with the thrust vectoring apparatus and jet engines comprising the thrust vectoring apparatus are disclosed

Abstract: Oily and/or solids-containing water is clarified by chemical treatment to form flocculated and agglomerated solid phases and a clear water phase. In the clarification process, microbubbles of air or other gas are introduced at atmospheric pressure, via an eductor or other suitable device, together with a flocculant. During the subsequent formation of floes and their agglomeration into larger masses, microbubbles become entrained within and adhered to the solid flocculated materials. The resulting masses are very buoyant and easily separated from the water via a variety of approaches that include skimming, decanting, filtration, and screening. This process results in a solids phase that may be disposed of as waste, if desired, and a highly clarified water phase.

Abstract: A system and method for placing a prosthetic acetabular cup within an acetabulum are disclosed. The system may comprise an acetabular cup with an eccentric socket.  The acetabular cup may be substantially hemispherical with a cup rim and a portion of the cup rim removed defining a relief. The cup may accommodate a concentric liner in an eccentric position. Screw apertures may be present on the periphery of the cup and the screw trajectories may converge toward the dome of the cup. The cup is attached to a tool which is offset relative to the cup because of the substantially eccentric socket.  The relief, when the cup is secured to the acetabulum, is positioned substantially anterior and the socket is positioned more posterior to provide a more natural center of rotation of a femoral head within the socket. The first relief reduces impingement of the acetabular cup on soft tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates to producing threads that are suitable for further processing into textile fabrics and/or semi-finished products made from the threads, wherein the fabrics and products are characterized by high strength, simple numerical computability of mechanical load conditions and low resin consumption. To achieve this, the invention proposes a method for producing a thread which includes a plurality of individual filaments individually supported at a distance from one another and coated with a flowable resin which includes a solvent and can be crosslinked under the effect of at least one physical variable and/or one chemical substance. The coated individual filaments are subsequently compacted so that a composite is formed which includes the individual filaments and the resin continuously surrounding them and which is free of gas pockets. The solvent included in the resin is expelled from the composite during a drying process.
