Abstract: A device for holding, in a braking manner, a preferably sheet-formed blank (31) when forming the blank in a fluid cell press. During the forming, a hydraulic forming pressure is applied, via an elastic diaphragm (4), to one side of the blank. The device comprises first means (18) for generating a hydraulic blank holder pressure and second means (15, 16, 17a) for supplying this pressure to a movable member (14) and maintaining this pressure. The movable member is adapted, as long as the blank holder pressure is maintained, to hold part of the blank in a braking manner against a support (13). To improve the forming result, the device comprises means (20) which, under the direct influence of the forming pressure, reduce the blank holder pressure when the forming pressure attains a predetermined value.

Abstract: A split-band coding system combines multiple channels of input signals into various forms of composite signals and generates spatial-characteristic signals representing soundfield spatial characteristics in a plurality of frequency subbands. The spatial-characteristics signals may be generated in either or both of two forms. In a first form, the signal represents measures of signal levels for subband signals from the input channels. In a second form, the signal represents one or more apparent directions for the soundfield. The type of the spatial-characteristics signal may be adapted dynamically in response to a variety of criteria including input signal characteristics. Temporal smoothing and spectral smoothing of the spatial-characteristics signals may be applied in an encoder. Temporal smoothing and spectral smoothing may be applied to gain factors derived from the spatial-characteristics signals in a decoder.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mode de fonctionnement d'un moteur à combustion interne notamment d'un véhicule automobile, selon lequel le carburant est directement injecté dans la chambre d'explosion soit pendant une phase de compression dans un premier mode de fonctionnement, soit pendant une phase d'admission dans un second mode de fonctionnement. La quantité de carburant (mK) à injecter dans la chambre d'explosion est, dans les deux modes de fonctionnement, déterminée notamment en fonction d'un couple théorique (Msoll) qui est calculé et qui doit être fourni par le moteur à combustion interne. On calcule un temps d'injection (ti en ms) à partir de la quantité de carburant (mK) à injecter et, à partir du temps d'injection (ti en ms) ainsi obtenu, on calcule un angle d'injection (αi en degrés) en fonction du régime (Nmoteur) du moteur à combustion interne (1).

Abstract: The method involves using two alternately clocked laser diodes to produce beams of orthogonal polarizations, to derive rotation angle with respect to null position. The method involves deflecting the light from two laser diodes (LD1, LD2) in a transmission unit connected to the first reference system to a polarizing beam combiner (GLP). The light from the laser diodes is mutually perpendicularly linearly polarized and the intensity clocked at a first rate so that only the first or second diode radiates at any one time. The combiner couples both beams into a common optical axis, preserving their polarization planes. The light from the combiner passes to a receiver unit connected to the second reference system where it is divided by a polarizing beam divider depending on the orientation of the polarization planes. The partial beams pass to photodetectors, whose signals are used to derive the rotation angle with respect to a null position.
