Abstract: A method of testing a power module (1) including a control gate, an emitter, a collector, at least one power component (3) on a dielectric substrate (5) and a diode (4) connected in antiparallel with the power component (3) measures partial discharge occurring between the emitter (11) and collector (10) of the module (1) when an AC voltage source superimposed upon a DC voltage source is connected between the collector (10) and emitter (11) of the module (1) and the voltage Vtest received by means of the module (1) between the collector (10) and emitter (11) of the module (1) verifies at all times the condition Vtest>0 so that a diode (4) may never conduct. In addition, a power component (3) is maintained in a turned off state during the test by means of a DC voltage source connected between a control gate (12) and the emitter (11).

Title: Differentiable spectral bar code methods and systems
Inventor: EMPEDOCLES STEPHEN A
IPC: C09K11/00
Filed: 2001-04-06
Granted: 2014-03-25
Abstract: Devices, systems, methods (as depicted in figure 1a), and compositions of matter can track and/or identify a library of elements, particularly for use with fluids, particulates, cells, and the like. Signals from one or more semiconductor nanocrystals may be combined to define spectral codes. Separation of signal wavelengths within dedicated wavelength ranges or windows facilitates differentiation of spectral codes, while calibration signals within the spectral codes can avoid ambiguity. Modeling based on prior testing can help derive libraries of acceptable codes.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un moteur de reconnaissance des caractères auto-orthogonaux qui exécute un procédé itératif dans lequel est employée une base de données de chaînes de caractères prédéterminées. Le procédé comprend la réception d'une représentation numérique d'une chaîne de caractères suivie de la génération d'une chaîne résultante proposée obtenue par application de l'image numérique saisie à une routine de reconnaissance prédéterminée comprenant un ou plusieurs sous-programmes de reconnaissance. Chaque sous-programme de reconnaissance utilise un paramétrage initial. Ensuite, si la chaîne résultante proposée ne correspond à aucune des chaînes de caractères prédéterminées présentes dans la base de données, le paramétrage initial d'un sous-programme de reconnaissance est changé pour un nouveau paramétrage. Le processus de reconnaissance est ensuite répété au moyen du paramétrage suivant pour générer et tester une chaîne résultante suivante. Le processus peut être répété de manière itérative jusqu'à ce qu'une chaîne résultante soit vérifiée ou que le processus arrive à terme.

Title: Luminous rope
Inventor: LONGATTI BRUNO
IPC: F21K2/00
Filed: 2003-05-01
Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: In order to improve visibility and hence to reduce the risk of accidents, a rope, for example a wire rope, is equipped with a number of luminous elements (6, 8, 15, 15', 66, 86) . A luminous element (6, 8, 15, 66, 86) may in this case assume the position of a wire or of a braid, may be integrated in an insert, or may be guided in the spaces between wires or braids or, preferably, the theoretical rope circumference. The luminous element (6, 8, 15, 15', 66, 86) may also itself be composed of luminous elements which are twisted together, are twisted or are laid. For strain relief, the luminous elements (6, 8, 15, 15', 66, 86) may be equipped with a reinforcement in the form of a strand, or with a mash. The luminous element (6, 8, 15, 15', 66, 86) is intended to be connected to a source (88). In the state when it is fed, the luminous element (6, 8, 15, 15', 66, 86) is actively luminous. Owing to the improved visibility, rope lights may be used not only for a safety function but also for an esthetic appearance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des hydrogels qui se dilatent volumétriquement en réponse à un changement de leur environnement (p. ex. un changement de pH ou de température), ainsi que leurs procédés de fabrication et d'utilisation. Les hydrogels se préparent généralement en formant un mélange de réaction liquide qui contient a) des monomères et/ou des polymères, certaines parties desquels au moins sont sensibles à des changements d'environnement (p. ex. des changements de pH ou de température), b) un agent de réticulation et c) un initiateur de polymérisation. On peut, si on le souhaite, incorporer un agent porogène dans le mélange de réaction liquide afin de créer des pores. Après la formation de l'hydrogel, le porosigène est retiré pour créer les pores dans ledit hydrogel. Ce dernier peut également être traité pour qu'il adopte un volume non dilaté qu'il garde jusqu'à ce qu'un changement d'environnement entraîne une dilatation du volume. Ces hydrogels peuvent être préparés sous de nombreuses formes dont des granules, des filaments et des particules. Parmi les utilisations biomédicales de ces hydrogels, figurent des applications dans lesquelles l'hydrogel est implanté dans le corps d'un patient et une condition environnementale au site d'implantation entraîne l'hydrogel à se dilater in situ.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration which can increase direct recovery rate of cobalt by industrially advantageously removing manganese from a cobalt solution containing manganese as an impurity by the oxidative neutralization process. The process containing 2 stages for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, the first stage being for oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution controlled at an oxidation-reduction potential of 900mV or more (based on an Ag/AgCl electrode) and pH of 3 or less to remove most of the manganese in the form of oxide precipitate having a Co/Mn ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 by weight, and the second stage being for the continued oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution produced in the first stage to remove a small quantity of the residual manganese in the form of oxide precipitate and thereby to produce the high-purity cobalt solution containing manganese at 0.05g/L or less, while keeping the same oxidation-reduction potential and pH conditions for the cobalt solution.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des circuits comprenant des moyens destinés à détecter au moins l'une des crêtes, l'amplitude et la fréquence d'une force d'entrée oscillatoire agissant sur un dispositif de production d'énergie (22) afin de commander l'enclenchement d'un commutateur utilisé pour transférer l'énergie recueillie par le dispositif de production d'énergie à une charge associée. Le dispositif de production d'énergie peut être un transducteur tel qu'un dispositif piézoélectrique ou une houlomotrice. Les capteurs et moyens de détection contemplés dans la présente invention sont utilisés pour commander le moment où les circuits d'extraction d'énergie sont commutés en circuit avec le dispositif de production d'énergie. Le circuit d'extraction d'énergie peut comprendre des composants capables de résonner avec le circuit de production d'énergie à une fréquence plus élevée que la fréquence à laquelle fonctionne le dispositif de production d'énergie, et indépendante de cette dernière. De cette manière, un dispositif de production d'énergie alimenté et commandé par une source d'énergie à modifications lentes (par exemple, les vagues de l'océan, le vent, les marées) peut produire une énergie à une certaine fréquence et la transférer, à un moment choisi, à une autre fréquence.

Title: Radiotelephone system for groups of remote subscribers
Inventor: KAEWELL JOHN D
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1994-07-21
Granted: 2009-01-20
Abstract: A power-conserving time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone system is disclosed in which a cluster of subscriber stations, remote from a base station, employs a common pool of frequency-agile modems each of which digitally synthesizes, on a time slot-by-time slot basis, the different channel- identifying intermediate needed to support communications between several of the subscriber stations and the base station. Power conservation is facilitated inter alia by controlling the assignment of modems to calls, maintaining unassigned modems in a powered-down state and by controlling the number of calls using the same time slot. Delay in assigning a powered-down modem to a call is eliminated by making available to all modems the highest quality synchronization information obtained by any of the active modems.
