Abstract: La présente invention a trait à une fibre apte au filage par fusion comportant un premier composant incluant un polymère thermoplastique, et un deuxième composant incluant de l'amidon thermoplastique, dans laquelle le deuxième composant n'est pas entouré d'un autre ou d'autres composants ou, si tel est le cas, alors le deuxième composant entoure un noyau creux. Une utilisation particulière d'une telle fibre consiste en l'élimination du deuxième composant en présence d'un solvant en vue de produire des fibres avec des propriétés souhaitées. Un agent peut être présent dans le deuxième composant pour contrôler le taux d'élimination du deuxième composant permettant ainsi la manipulation physique de la fibre préalablement à l'élimination complète du composant. L'invention a également trait à des nappes non-tissés et à des articles jetables comportant de telles fibres.

Patent EP-1339089-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MERREN THOMAS OLIVER
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: The invention comprises a mass spectrometer 1 and a method of mass spectrometry that
is especially useful for the measurement of the isotopic composition of hydrogen in the
presence of a helium carrier gas. Interference to the accurate measurement of the small
HD +  peak at mass-to-charge ratio 3 by the much larger He +  peak at mass-to-charge ratio
4 is reduced by provision of an energy filter 35 in the ion detector assembly used to
collect HD +  ions. This prevents ions of He +  which have lost energy through scattering,
etc giving rise to a signal from the HD +  detector and distorting the deuterium hydrogen
isotopic ratio measurement. Such a mass spectrometer 1 is typically used in conjunction
with a continuous flow inlet system 4 based on an elemental analyzer that converts
hydrogen present in a sample to gaseous hydrogen in a flow of helium carrier gas.
Another embodiment of the invention provides a similar mass spectrometer useful for
carbon or oxygen isotopic determinations in carbon dioxide gas.

Filed: 2003-06-23
Abstract: After a switch of a transmission rate for a mobile station, the next switch of the transmission rate for the mobile station is halted for a predetermined period of time. Thus, deterioration in resource use efficiency can be prevented, and a switch to a high transmission rate for another mobile station requiring the high transmission rate can be smoothly performed, thus the throughput quality can be maintained. 
     A wireless base station or a control station (205) switches a transmission rate for each mobile station in accordance with the amount of information transmitted and received, and, after switching a transmission rate for one of the mobile stations, halts the next switch control of transmission rates for the mobile station for a predetermined period of time, thus optimizing system performance. A switch halt period is variably set depending on whether a current transmission rate and a switched transmission rate are higher or lower, or in accordance with the number of remaining resources.

Abstract: Disclosed is a CCD camera having a correction function for determining defective
CCDs. A CCD camera periodically drives a shutter through a shutter driving unit at
a low speed. If light is incident on a CCD module with the driving of the shutter at
the low speed, photo-electrically converted signals outputted from individual CCDs
are sequentially stored in a memory. The electric signals of the CCDs stored in the
memory are read out, amplified by a predetermined level, and compared to a CCD
defect threshold level. If the signals from the CCD devices are larger than the
CCD defect threshold level, location information of the CCD devices having signals
larger than the CCD defect threshold level is stored in the memory. Further, when
the captured signals are scanned, average electric signals of adjacent CCD devices
are scanned for the electric signals of the CCD devices larger than the threshold
level based on the location information stored in the memory.

Abstract: A method is described for operating a signalling gateway comprising determining information
enabling an application server to identify a signalling gateway process to which to direct a
message destined for a particular point code and making said information available to the
application server. In preferred embodiments, the information takes the form of a routing table
that serves to distribute signalling gateway process identifiers over possible SLS values by, for
instance, mapping process instance identifiers to possible SLS values for messages sent by the
application server. By allowing the application server processes the possibility to determine to
which signalling gateway process each message should be directed, retransmission of messages
within the signalling gateway can be avoided.

Abstract: The solar cell is coupled to reflectors (70,71) so to form an elementary component (20,21) with the cell whose reflectors have free extremities (E2,E2'). The mechanical flexibility of the reflectors is determined so that they remain erected with the extremities pointing outwards in the absence of vertical pressure, where the upper surfaces (701,711) face the exterior and the lower surfaces (702,712) face the panel. In the folded configuration under vertical pressure the upper surfaces face the panel and the lower surfaces face the exterior.  The cell is placed onto the central part of the reflector so that the extremities form two lateral sub-reflectors of the cell. The reflector is made of electrically insulating material, for example Kapton (TM), and reinforced with a material, for example titanium. The reflector comprises a base part (12,13) where the cell is placed, so that the base and the two sub-reflectors form a single piece. The upper extremities of the sub-reflectors are equipped with reflecting films (700,710). The reflector has mechanical properties such that the erected position is an equilibrium position, also in the case of a concavity of the surface. Each reflector (70,71) is flat with the exception of free extremities (E2,E2') which are rounded so to support contact under vertical pressure in unfolding. The lower surfaces (702,712) have low coefficient of friction. In a variant of the device, the sub-reflectors are made of a reflecting film and fastened by electrically insulating attachments to the cell which is placed on an electrically insulating support. In another variant of the device, an electrically insulating current support is formed according to a double-inflexion profile where an extremity of a support rests on an extremity of a support of an adjacent cell. A panel (claimed) of solar generator comprises the solar cell (claimed), and a space vehicle (claimed), particularly satellite, comprises the panel of solar generator.
