Abstract: A device for extracting power from a moving fluid comprises a housing (8) having a prime mover (2) rotatably mounted therein. The device is provided with an inlet port (14) positioned for receiving a second fluid stream AS2 for driving the prime mover (2), a large volume chamber to receive the discharge from the prime mover, and an outlet port (22) positioned in a first fluid stream AS1. The first and second fluid streams AS1 and AS2 are spaced apart from one another. The device is configured so that the direction of flow of one of the first or second fluid streams AS1 and AS2 is changed in order that the second fluid streams AS2 leaving the housing (8) is combined with the first fluid stream AS1 at the outlet ports (22). The passage of the first fluid stream around the exterior of the housing (8) gives rise to an enhanced pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet ports thereby enhancing power extraction from the moving fluid. The prime mover (2) is provided with a plurality of vanes (18) profiled to offer resistance to the second fluid stream AS2 passing between the inlet and outlet ports. The fluid stream may be air so that the device can be arranged for extracting power from the wind.

Abstract: Lors de l'utilisation d'une machine-outil on a parfois besoin d'une forte puissance de sortie à faible régime de rotation et parfois d'une forte puissance de sortie à régime de rotation élevé. Afin de permettre l'exécution de ces fonctions par un moteur unique, chaque bobinage de phase (X1, X2; X1', X2') est divisé en une pluralité d'ensembles et une pluralité d'ensembles sont introduits à travers chaque fente (SL). Les bornes (U1, U2; V1, V2; W1, W2) de chaque phase en tant que points de division sont commutées par des organes de commutation (SW, SW') tels que des relais électromagnétiques, de manière à pouvoir sélectionner le bobinage d'alimentation et à pouvoir réguler la puissance de sortie.

Abstract: A conveying sieve grid for removing coarser contaminants from a liquid such as domestic sewage, which conveying sieve grid has sieve stages (5) pivotably held on two parallel endless conveyor chains (1, 2) and consisting of segments (10) which are stacked at a distance from one another perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the conveyor chains and which are alternately offset relative to one another from stage to stage in such a way that the segments of the respective following stage can reach into the spaces between the segments of the preceding stage and which are controlled in stages with regard to their orientation by means of steering arms in such a way that the segments, with a receiving shape (11) for the contaminants, are pivoted in such a way as to point upwards in the liquid and the conveying-strand area and so as to point downwards in the area of the return strand after turning around a top pair of pulleys, a further edge area being provided in approximately the same plane as the receiving shape, which edge area is passed through between the segments of the respective preceding stage in a section of the conveying-strand area directly in front of the pair of pulleys so that the contaminants and objects collected in the receiving area of the segments are released and raised so that they are discharged by the segments during the subsequent rotation around the pair of deflection pulleys. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the receiving shapes are provided with trough-shaped recesses so that the contaminants can be better accommodated and so that objects capable of rolling, such as bottles, can also be accommodated.

Abstract: Sur les véhicules, les récepteurs radio équipés d'un décodeur pour le décodage d'informations routières reçues avec un codage numérique comportent des mémoires contenant les caractéristiques propres à différents itinéraires ainsi que des textes standard. Ces textes peuvent être appelés par adressage des zones de la mémoire. Pour que le conducteur reçoive uniquement les informations routières concernant la région qui l'intéresse, un indicatif est attribué aux caractéristiques spécifiques des itinéraires. L'attribution de cet indicatif permet ensuite de sélectionner uniquement les informations routières concernant la région concernée. Des émetteurs mettent également en mémoire des codes d'identification de programmes responsables de l'émission d'informations routières dans les régions concernées. La comparaison des codes d'identification de programmes mis en mémoire garantit que les émetteurs reçus soient véritablement ceux qui transmettent les informations routières relatives à la région qui intéresse le conducteur.

Abstract: A condom designed for oral-genital sex includes, in one aspect, a device adapted to be worn in the mouth of the person practicing oral sex. The device includes a tubular member having one closed end and formed of thin, pliant, impervious material. Joined to the open end of the tubular member are two or three flanges extending generally radially outwardly and spaced closely together. The flanges are curved out of a plane transverse to the axis of the tubular member to define a channel adapted to receive the upper and lower lips of an average person. The device is gripped by placing the lips within the channel, and closing the jaws slightly to compress and retain the open end of the device. The tubular member may be formed to extend into the mouth of the wearer, for the purpose of performing fellatio. A penis may be inserted into the tubular member without making contact with the lips or mouth or tongue of the wearer. In an alternative form of the invention, the tubular member may extend outwardly from the flanges and the mouth, so that the tongue of the wearer may be extended into the tubular member to perform cunnilingus without making direct contact with the vulva. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a shield formed as a planar oval from pliant, impervious material, the shield being shaped and adapted to be placed over the genital area. The shield includes a central opening from which a tubular condom extends, so that the assembly may be employed for oral sexual contact as well as intercourse without the risk of skin-to-skin contact. In a modification of this embodiment, the shield is provided as a separate component, with a flange surrounding the central opening. The flange is provided with means for engaging and sealing with the outer circumferential edge portion of a typical prior art male condom, so that the shield may be joined temporarily to a commercially available condom for the practice of safe sex.

Abstract: In an equalizer of the DFE type (Decision Feedback Equalizer) for equalization in a receiver for electromagnetic signals having passed a transmission channel, a plurality of weight factors or tap coefficients is used in a feedforward part as well as in a feedback part. Values based on an estimate of the impulse response of the channel are selected as a start condition of these coefficients. The estimate values are used in complex conjugated state in the feedforward part, which corresponds to a so-called matched filter, and the autocorrelation of the estimate of the channel impulse response is used in the feedback part. Detection of the data bits can begin at an optional training sequence and proceed from this. The estimate of the impulse response of the channel may also be used for synchronization, and the received signals may be phase or frequency adjusted before detection.

Date Dec. 12, 1991A broadcast receiver is disclosed which separates 16-bit binary program labels from a transmitted television signal and applies the television signal to a recorder. The viewer enters, via a keyboard, short program labels which up to three decimal digits in length. These entered short labels are then converted into 16-bit binary program codes by a mapping function processor. Each of the 16-bit codes differs in at least two binary positions from any other 16-bit codes. These codes are stored and compared with received codes and when they agree the video recorder is controlled so as to record the TV signal. Thus, the viewer does not have to enter long codes but can use short labels to identify the programs. The short labels can be obtained by the viewer from a printed TV listing.
