IPC: F16J15/3252
Filed: 1996-03-09
Abstract: The seal is fitted to a shaft (1), and has separate first and second radial sealing rings (5,6), with the former having a roughly Z-shaped section, and the latter having a roughly C-shaped section which is open axially in the direction of the volume (2) which is to be sealed. Each ring has at least one sealing lip (7,8) which is made from an elastomeric material. The lips are fixed to annular projections (9,10) which point radially inwards from roughly L-shaped supporting rings (11,12), which are made from a material which does not creep. The rings have axial projections (13,14) on the radially outer side, which connect with one another frictionally and/or positively, and bound a roughly annular reservoir volume (15), in combination with the annular projections, the lips, and the shaft.

Abstract: A method for collecting volatile organic substances from an off-gas containing moisture and volatile organic substances. The organic substances are removed from the gas (1) containing the organic substances and the moisture by introducing the gas into an adsorbing tower (5) filled with the adsorbents (4) and being in the adsorbing process under a relatively low temperature condition. The gas is discharged outside the system as the gas (7) containing the moisture but from which the organic substances have been removed. The organic substances are desorbed under a relatively high temperature condition in the regenerating process for the regeneration. The moisture is removed from the desorbed gas (10) discharged from the absorbent regenerating process in a dehumidifying tower (15) filled with the moisture absorbent (14) by the temperature swing method or pressure swing method. The obtained high concentration organic substances containing dry gas (17) is introduced into a liquefier (22) to be cooled and/or pressurized and to be liquefied so that the organic substances (23) are collected. It is therefore possible to collect the organic substances at a high concentration magnification rate without degrading the organic substances and the adsorbents.

Abstract: A scanning microscope, such as a scanning electron microscope, has an energy beam (1) which is caused to scan on a sample (4). A detector (6) detects the interaction of the beam (1) with the sample (4) and generates sample image signals which are used to generate a display image (20) of the scanned part of the sample (4). The sample image signals may be stored in an image memory (14) and a part of those sample image signals read to generate the display image. This permits an effective magnification to be achieved without scanning the sample with scanning lines which are too close. Alternatively, or in addition, the beam (1) may be cut intermittently during the scanning, at least for magnifications above a predetermined limit. Where scanning is in a series of frames, each of a series of scanning lines, such cutting may change the interval between frames, the interval between lines, or may cause intermittent cutting within a line. All these reduce the duration of the beam (1) on the sample (4), so reducing the risk of excessive charge build-up.

Title: Reseau de commutation a large bande
Inventor: SMITH AVRIL JOY
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: Dans un système de commutation à large bande pour la commutation de cellules de données transférées de manière asynchrone, une unité de commande de largeur de bande dynamique (DBC) commande l'application de cellules de données à une entrée du système, les cellules de données étant fournies par un certain nombre de stations d'extrémité émettrices. Le DBC détecte les cellules entrantes, identifie la source des cellules, assure le tamponnage des cellules et commande la sortie desdites cellules vers les commutateurs de système selon un débit de cellule (CR) courant assigné aux cellules provenant de la source respective. Ledit système comporte également un module d'admission de connexion (CAC) qui détermine la largeur de bande disponible dans le système. Le DBC et le CAC fonctionnent ensemble pour maintenir une voie virtuelle permanente d'une largeur de bande minimale prédéterminée à travers le système et attribuent de la largeur de bande supplémentaire sur demande jusqu'à un maximum. La largeur de bande supplémentaire attribuée à la voie peut être automatiquement supprimée ou réduite si elle n'est pas utilisée par la source. Il peut exister une rétroaction vers la source pour empêcher que des cellules soient fournies à un débit qui entraînerait une perte considérable de cellules en raison de la limitation de largeur de bande disponible pour la voie dans le système.

Filed: 1996-05-02
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for preventing damage to drapes and to heating and cooling mechanisms used in conjunction with apparatus for containing and thermally treating sterile liquid, and to preserving the sterile field when using such apparatus. A surgical drape is combined with a sensor, preferably attached to the drape, to detect whether or not liquid is present in a drape container conforming to a heating/cooling basin. An alternative embodiment employs sensors at opposite surfaces of the drape to measure conductance and, thereby, leakage through the drape. A microprocessor in each embodiment receives a signal representing, for example, an electrical conductance measurement from the sensors and determines if liquid is present, or alternatively if the conductance is sufficient to represent the presence of a leak. If liquid is not present or a leak is determined to exist, the microprocessor disables a temperature controller for the basin to prevent damage to the drape and heating and cooling mechanisms.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un réseau pour signaux en mode de transmission asynchrone. Ce réseau comprend des systèmes d'extrémité sources SES1, SES3 connectés par une connexion virtuelle permanente PVC1 par les commutateurs SW1... SWN. Les contrôleurs de la largeur de bande dynamique DBC1, DBC2 jouent le rôle de destination virtuelle/source virtuelle. Les commutateurs individuels, tel que le commutateur SW2, sont associés à des contrôleurs de vitesse RC1 qui déterminent la largeur de bande disponible pour la trajectoire de signaux PVC1. Le contrôleur de largeur de bande dynamique DBC1 interroge le contrôleur de vitesse RC1, RC2 à l'aide des signaux RM de gestion de ressources qui se déplacent en cascade de n÷ud de commutation en n÷ud de commutation le long de la trajectoire, dans une direction vers l'avant et ensuite dans une direction vers l'arrière. Les contrôleurs de la largeur de bande dynamique communiquent avec les systèmes d'extrémité sources à l'aide de signaux de gestion de ressources qui peuvent présenter un format différent par rapport aux signaux de gestion de ressources passant de n÷ud de commutation en n÷ud de commutation.

Abstract: A case is obtained in the lower concave part of a can made of metal and/or other material(s) for beverages, liquid foods or other product(s). The lower concave part of standard cans are normally used to facilitate their stacking during production and provides a space used for the inscription of use-by dates of products. The invention discloses the modification of cans made of metal and/or other material(s), of various dimensions, for beverages, liquid foods or other product(s) by adding a hermetic closure system with a lid made of metal or other material(s). The closure will be effected by a small strip connected over the whole length at the top to the case lid, and at the bottom, with the lower external rim of the can, by alternate fixing points. By pulling it the case thus designed is opened.

Abstract: A method for eliminating an oscillation phenomenon in a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission system is characterised in that the mass (M) of the vehicle is determined on the basis of the measured speed (Vmes) of the vehicle, the current ratio (N) of the transmission, the engine speed (Nmot) and the opening angle (αpap) of the engine throttle; the acceleration (η(N+1)) of the vehicle at the higher ratio N+1 is predicted from the mass (M) of the vehicle; the total amount of tractive resistance (F¿resistant?) applied to the vehicle is determined; the probability that there will be an oscillation phenomenon at the higher ratio N+1, termed 'oscillation risk' is determined from the acceleration (η(N+1)) and tractive resistance (F¿resistant?) information; and a signal preventing shifting to the higher ratio is generated from the oscillation risk information, said signal being adapted to be applied to a transmission control device.
