Abstract: A haymaking machine is provided, on both sides of a beam (4), which can be fastened to a tractor, with a rotatable, drivable crop working member (2, 3) whose distance to a central axis extending in the direction of travel of the tractor is adjustable and which is pivotably fastened to the beam (4), so as to be capable of being pivoted up from an operative position for tansport purposes and vice versa. There are provided means (7-16, 20-34) for bringing the crop working members (2, 3) into a transport position in which they assume a lower position than in the situation when they have been pivoted up from that operative position in which their distance to the central axis is minimal. This results in that the haymaking machine is compact in the transport position and crop working members (2, 3) with large dimensions can be used.

Abstract: A data-processing arrangement (DPA) comprises an interrupt generator (IG). The interrupt generator (IG) carries out a count (CNT) of events (E) of a certain type (T1) occurring in the data-processing arrangement (DPA). The interrupt generator (IG) provides an interrupt signal (IS) when a predefined number (N) of events (E[T1]) have been counted. The interrupt generator (IG) comprises a programmable start-event selector (SEL[STRT]) for selecting a type (T2) of event (E) which starts (STRT) the count (CNT).Accordingly, there is no need for any controller to start the count and, consequently, there is neither need for a further interrupt generator nor for a special subroutine to make the controller start the count. Consequently, the data processing arrangement as summarized hereinbefore yields better efficiency either cost-wise or software-wise, or both.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'alimentation en carburant formant un boîtier qui comprend un passage d'écoulement de carburant obtenu par soudage thermique d'un boîtier supérieur constitué de résine synthétique et d'un boîtier inférieur au niveau de leurs faces terminales de raccordement. Des nervures de contact (3b, 13b), situées à un niveau inférieur aux faces terminales de raccordement (3a, 13a) et opposées les unes aux autres, sont formées à travers des rainures d'espacement (3c, 13c), le long des faces terminales de raccordement (3a, 13a) du boîtier supérieur (3) et du boîtier inférieur (13). Les deux nervures de contact (3b, 13b) sont fondues et comprimées l'une contre l'autre de manière à être mises en contact l'une avec l'autre. La dimension verticale du boîtier (11) est déterminée par les nervures de contact (3b, 13b). Des bavures (21) sont laissées dans un espace de réservoir (22), fermé par les nervures de contact (3b, 13b) une fois le soudage thermique terminé. Ces perturbations classiques sont éliminées, à savoir les bavures, produites sur la partie soudée par extrusion des parties terminales fondues, sont soumises à des variations de taille et de forme en fonction de l'état fondu des faces terminales de raccordement et de la valeur du mouvement de compression pour faire varier les dimensions verticales finales des boîtiers. De plus, des bavures, emprisonnées dans le passage d'écoulement de carburant, peuvent réduire la surface du passage d'écoulement, augmenter la résistance à l'écoulement et provoquer la chute des parties affaiblies des bavures en raison de la rupture par fatigue causée par la pulsation de l'écoulement de carburant, qui conduit au colmatage d'une canalisation en aval.

Abstract: A mobile cellular tumble coater (10) and method is provided to coat articles with materials suitable for coating by vapor deposition under vacuum conditions. The mobile cellular tumble coater comprises multiple mobile part cells (12) disposed on a hollow cylindrical chamber of an inner support base positioned within a coating chamber (14) of a coating apparatus. Each mobile part cell comprises a hollow portion with an outer wall having multiple through holes large enough to permit vapors of coating material to flow into the mobile part cell and small enough to contain the articles therein. In an embodiment of the invention, the mobile part cells are removably attached to the inner support base by rigid cables in such a manner that enables the mobile part cells to swing from the inner support base. As the inner support base rotates during the coating process, the mobile part cells attached thereon are propelled away from the inner support base until downward rotation causes the mobile part cells to collide with the inner support base. Such collision produced mechanical agitation causes the articles contained within the mobile part cells to remain in a sufficiently mobile state during the coating process such that the articles do not stick together or become coated together.

Abstract: A constrained non-linear approximator for empirical process control is disclosed. The approximator constrains the behavior of the derivative of a subject empirical model without adversely affecting the ability of the model to represent generic non-linear relationships. There are three stages to developing the constrained non-linear approximator. The first stage is the specification of the general shape of the gain trajectory or base non-linear function which is specified graphically, algebraically or generically and is used as the basis for transfer functions used in the second stage. The second stage of the invention is the interconnection of the transfer functions to allow non-linear approximation. The final stage of the invention is the constrained optimization of the model coefficients such that the general shape of the input/output mappings (and their corresponding derivatives) are conserved.

Abstract: When using a magnetic alternating field to prompt portable electronic tickets, such as smart cards, it is important that the prompting is effected reliably and independent of the position thereof. In order to generate an essentially isotropic magnetic alternating field over a set time interval, one embodiment of the invention involves the use of an antenna array comprising two or three frame antennas (1, 2, 3). A switching unit (73) supplies, in a sequentially alternating manner, a unit of information (INF) to each of the frame antennas (1, 2, 3) so that a quasi-isotropic magnetic alternating field, which is considered over the period of time, is radiated by said frame antennas (1, 2, 3). This results in reliably prompting tickets that are located in the surrounding area of the antenna arrays.
