Patent EP-0996775-A1 (EP)
Title: Procede de dezingage de l'acier galvanise
Inventor: MORGAN WILLIAM A
IPC: C25F5/00
Filed: 1998-04-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'éliminer le zinc de l'acier galvanisé. L'acier galvanisé est immergé dans un électrolyte contenant au moins environ 15 % en poids d'hydroxyde de sodium ou de potassium, et ayant une température d'au moins environ 75 °C, le zinc étant galvaniquement corrodé de la surface de l'acier galvanisé. Le matériau servant de cathode est principalement un matériau ayant un potentiel d'électrode standard situé entre les potentiels d'électrode standards du zinc et du cadmium dans la série électrochimique. La vitesse de corrosion peut être augmentée par (i) augmentation de la densité en nombre de sites de corrosion dans l'acier galvanisé par abrasion ou déformation mécanique de l'acier galvanisé, (ii) chauffage de l'acier galvanisé pour former un alliage de zinc sur la surface de l'acier galvanisé, (iii) mélange de l'acier galvanisé avec une matière ayant un potentiel d'électrode standard situé entre les potentiels d'électrode standards du zinc et du cadmium dans la série électrochimique, ou (iv) déplacement de l'acier galvanisé par rapport à lui-même et à l'électrolyte lorsqu'il est immergé dans l'électrolyte.

Title: Affectation canal destinee a un systeme de communications
Inventor: AYOUB SOUHAD
IPC: H04W36/22
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à un système de radiocommunication cellulaire permettant de réduire la probabilité de congestion de mobiles à créneaux temporels multiples dans ce système. A l'avenir, le système GSM offrira des services de transmission grande vitesse de données, notamment le service HSCSD de Circuit de commutation de données grande vitesse (High speed Circuit Switched Data). Le service HSCSD comprend deux services appelés 'service fixe' et 'service flexible'. Avec le premier service, le mobile se voit affecter un nombre fixe de créneaux temporels pendant toute la durée de l'appel, tandis qu'avec le second service, le nombre de créneaux temporels affectés peut varier durant l'appel. Les stations mobiles actuelles dotées de filtres simplex ne peuvent faire qu'une chose à la fois, notamment émettre, mesurer ou recevoir des signaux. Il est donc important d'avoir la possibilité d'affecter des créneaux temporels consécutifs pour les mobiles à créneaux temporels multiples. Pour cela, il faut que l'algorithme d'affectation canal puisse affecter de façon efficace les créneaux temporels libres afin d'intensifier l'utilisation des canaux et d'augmenter la vitesse de transmission des données. Pour répondre à ce besoin de créneaux temporels consécutifs, on utilise un transfert intracellulaire. La probabilité de congestion des mobiles ayant demandé le 'service fixe' est ainsi réduite et s'approche de celle des mobiles à créneau temporel unique. Le transfert intracellulaire offre un autre avantage, notamment l'augmentation de la vitesse de transmission des données des mobiles ayant demandé le 'service fixe'.

Inventor: SOMMER ROLF-DIETER
IPC: H04B10/299
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an amplifier for eliminating time durations deviating from the set course from the logic states of digital signals transmitted by fibreoptics by means of retimers connected to the transmission path. To this end the duration of, for example, a bit of both logic states of the digital signal is measured continuously, stored temporarily and compared with each other. A control signal is then generated from the difference between these durations, which signal influences the input signal of the retimer via a control element connected to the signal circuit in such a way that the time deviation is compensated by time-shifting at least one bit edge. Compared to known methods the method provided for by the invention significantly reduces the time delay of the digital signal passing through the retimer so that it is also suitable for high-speed transmission systems. It also reduces resource requirements because there is no need to set the data rate and telegram. The invention also relates to alternative versions of the method and the retimer for carrying out said method.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un spectromètre de mobilité ionique (IMS) (100) 'froid' qui fonctionne délibérément à une température suffisamment basse pour que des vapeurs échantillonnées se condensent, c'est-à-dire soient piégées, dans le dispositif IMS (100) après leur introduction avec une garniture de condensation (117) dans une région de réaction (102) du dispositif IMS (100). Le piégeage délibéré des vapeurs dans le dispositif IMS (100) enlève de manière active l'échantillon du procédé d'ionisation parce qu'après la condensation, la pression de la vapeur du composé à la température de fonctionnement du dispositif IMS (100) est négligeable. Etant donné que le composé n'est plus présent sous forme de vapeur, la production ionique n'est plus effectuée à une vitesse suffisante pour être détectée.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de copolymérisation de formaldéhyde avec des éthers cycliques. Ce procédé consiste à combiner, dans un solvant hydrocarbure, un éther cyclique, un initiateur cationique et enfin un formaldéhyde anhydre. L'initiateur cationique comprend d'une part un anion issu de dérivés de tétraphényle borates et de certains de leurs mélanges, et d'autre part un cation. De tels initiateurs assurent un niveau élevé d'activité, des taux élevés d'incorporation de l'éther cyclique, et la stabilité, tout en réduisant au minimum la production de sous-produits.

Abstract: Un récepteur reçoit un signal qui comporte un vecteur de code. Ce vecteur de code appartient à une série prédéterminée de vecteurs de code qui peuvent être des vecteurs de code de Kerdock. Ledit récepteur crée une transformée du signal reçu, telle qu'une transformée de Walsh. Cette transformée possède un coefficient correspondant au moins à quelques vecteurs de code de la série prédéterminée de vecteurs de code. Le récepteur détermine des éléments de données émis en tant que vecteur de code sur la base de la grandeur des coefficients de la transformée. Lorsque des codes de vecteur pluriels sont émis, le récepteur détermine des éléments de données émis en tant que premier vecteur de code sur la base de la grandeur des coefficients de la transformée, soustrait du signal reçu le premier vecteur de code, produit une nouvelle transformée des résultats soustraits et détermine des éléments de données émis en tant qu'autre vecteur de code sur la base de la grandeur des coefficients de la nouvelle transformée, et ainsi de suite.
