Abstract: A vessel such as a dairy pasteuriser having a path B for product and a separate path A for coolant in intimate relationship is tested for leaks by circulating a donor fluid under pressure in path A whilst a recipient fluid such as clean tap water is circulated in path B. If the donor fluid is an electrolyte, a probe 12 is placed in path B to measure the conductivity of the recipient fluid. A rise in conductivity over a period indicates leakage between the two paths, the rate of change indicating the size of the leak. Alternatively, the donor fluid can be a gas, and leakage detected using an untrasound probe. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a definition, format, and structure of extended attributes for managing, maintaining, and controlling file systems. This is accomplished by creating a database containing management, maintenance, control, and other user-defined data that are associated with a directory entry of the file system. The database is stored inside the extended attribute or sets of extended attributes. According to the present invention, each extended attribute includes a header for defining the extended attribute that comprises a first plurality of fields. It also includes a plurality of records for storing data. In turn, each record of the pluraity of records comprises a second plurality of fields. The extended attribute is identified by a string stored in a directory entry of a directory entry table for the file system. The string comprises a predetermined substring denoting the extended attribute having the database architecture of the present invention. The first plurality of fields of the extended attribute includes fields for storing a length of the header, a version number of the header, a revision number of the header, the number of extended attributes in the database, and the number of records in the plurality of records in the database. The second plurality of fields includes fields for storing a name of a record, data, a record length, a length of the record name, and a length of the data. Both the name and data are stored as strings.

Abstract: On décrit un système qui permet d'inhiber la corrosion de métaux, ferreux ou non, en les passivant. Ce système comprend de nouvelles compositions tamponnées qu'on peut appliquer sur des produits métalliques pour prévenir ou retarder leur corrosion, ainsi que des procédés qui permettent d'appliquer ces compositions tamponnées audits produits métalliques pour leur conférer par passivation une protection contre la corrosion. Ces procédés incluent l'application in-situ, sur des structures existantes dotées d'un renforcement métallique, ainsi que des applications effectuées sur des produits métalliques en cours de fabrication. De façon générale, ces compositions peuvent prendre différentes formes et inclure un vecteur et un ou plusieures composants de tampon pH. Un tampon est choisi de façon à rester à proximité du métal à un pH pour lequel ce métal est passif à la corrosion. Ces compositions respectent l'environnement et peuvent remplacer les chromates, traditionnellement utilisés avec le zinc et ses alliages pour inhiber la corrosion des métaux, mais qui se révèlent potentiellement dangereux pour l'environnement.

Abstract: Le système décrit associe un marquage temporel aux données reçues dans sa borne d'entrée, fixant un instant avec un retard prédéterminé après réception des données. Le système sort ces données à une borne de sortie en fonction du marquage temporel. L'entrée et la sortie sont réglées par des horloges différentes, qui sont synchronisées périodiquement. A certains moments, la source de synchronisation peut changer, ce qui peut éventuellement créer une discontinuité dans la synchronisation. Le système contient un dispositif de signalisation des discontinuités, servant à signaler une éventuelle discontinuité dans le déroulement de la synchronisation. La relation prédéterminée est corrigée lorsque cette discontinuité potentielle est signalée pendant un instant entre l'entrée et la sortie des données.

Abstract: A resilient hinge for a spectacle frame includes an inner male or female knuckle (1) attached to the end of a frame lug (3) and an arm (5) substantially placed in the prolongation of the lug (3) and abutting on said lug when in the normally open position. The inner side of the arm (5) is connected to the knuckle (1) by means of a rigid return part (6) which can pivot freely about the knuckle and bend while being displaced. The pivot point of the return part around the knuckle axis or the knuckle axis itself is floating and can move between two extreme positions. The knuckle (1) and the end of the lug (3) are placed side by side to create an outer recess, so that the arm (5), when it has been moved beyond its normal open position, is in pivot contact (P) against the end of the lug (3) acting as a stop and thus biasing the return part (6) in flexion (F), which causes the arm (5) to be brought back to its normal open position. The knuckle (3) may have a shape (S) acting as a cam against which the arm (5) rests when it is opened or closed, which together with the return part (6) defines two stable rest positions, a normal open position and a closed position, the arm (5) being brought back against the spectacle frame front in the closed position.
