Patent EP-0991857-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WAGNER PIERRE-ANDRE
IPC: F02D11/08
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: A decelerator device for obtains constant and maximal decelerating power whatever the engine speed, by controlling the pressure of the gases upstream of the valve by balancing the efforts at the actuator cylinder rod. The decelerator device (1) includes a balancing device (25) incorporated in the actuator cylinder (9), cylinder rod (12) dissociated from the piston (11) and a calibrated spring member (26) mounted between them. When the valve (7) is closed and, based on a counter-pressure predetermined by the spring member calibration, the actuator rod (12) moves back by stroke C' which causes the valve (7) to open by an angle prop generating a leakage of the exhaust gases. Beyond the. threshold, the valve (7) reopening angle varies according the exhaust gas pressure thereby ensuring a constant and maximal counter-pressure whatever the engine speed. The invention is applicable to combustion engines and in particular to industrial vehicles.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un multidétecteur recevant des radiations incidentes ayant traversé un sujet consistant en un détecteur (60) à microbandes muni d'anodes (68) et de cathodes (70) alternant sur un substrat (66) disposé face à une source (64) de tension, et jouxtant un détecteur (62) à semi-conducteur. Dans un environnement à deux niveaux d'énergie, on applique des champs électriques aux deux détecteurs alors que les radiations (18) incidentes les traversent. De ce fait, les détecteurs produisent des signaux correspondants que l'on compare pour obtenir une image contrastée du sujet, lesdits signaux pouvant servir à des fins d'imagerie, de suivi du rayonnement, de mesure du rayonnement ou autres. On peut régler la direction du rayonnement incident et l'orientation des champs électriques selon les différentes applications. Le système peut de plus servir dans un environnement à un seul niveau d'énergie où deux images de la même énergie du rayonnement incident seront formées à partir de différents milieux de détection. Le recours à différentes techniques de traitement permet d'accroître le contraste entre les images.

Abstract: A mixed refrigerant comprising one member selected from
R-23, R-116 and a mixture thereof and one member selected
from propane, butane and a mixture thereof. The mixed
refrigerant allows cooling the inside of a freezer to
a super low temperature, particularly to a temperature
of -60°C or lower, with a compressor of a conventional
freezer. The mixed refrigerant not only has a low boiling
point similar to those of R-23 and R-116, but also can be
liquefied in a room temperature surrounding due to propane
or butane contained therein, and further has good
miscibility with a lubricating oil or the like so that a
freezer unit using the refrigerant is free from the problem
of clogging therein. Additionally, the mixed refrigerant has
no ability to deplete ozone and is significantly low with
respect to greenhouse effect. The refrigerant can be
liquefied by a pressure within the range of practical
ability of a compressor in a room temperature surrounding
and allows achieving with ease a temperature inside a
freezer of -60°C or lower by means of a freezer unit using
one gas and one compressor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining video frame sequences with a video display of an interactive program guide (IPG). The apparatus comprises a plurality of compositors that combine background information, video frame sequences and program guide graphics into a single video frame sequence. The sequence is then digitally encoded to form an MPEG-like bitstream. The same background information and video advertising is composited with a different program guide graphic to form another video sequence that is also encoded. A plurality of such sequences are produced with each sequence having a different program guide graphic. Each sequence is encoded and then multiplexed into a transport stream such that all the encoded sequences are transmitted to a subscriber's terminal using a single transport stream. As such, the subscriber can scroll from one program guide to the next without interruption of the background or video display as the program guide graphic is changed. Each graphic contains a set of programs (e.g., channels) listed along a left, vertical axis and each program associated with the channel is identified in a rectangular cell that extends toward the right. The horizontal axis represents time and about 2 hours of programming for ten channels is shown in the graphic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaped concrete block having a raised area and a shaped concrete block kit used to delimit soil covers. Shaped concrete blocks, notably troughed blocks (13) and drainage blocks (14) are used to delimit (12) a paving (10) in the transitional area to a green area (11). The shaped concrete blocks present a (unbroken) longitudinal channel (22) and possibly several transverse channels (32) for the targeted guiding and drainage of liquids accumulating on the paving. In this case it can be difficult to (visually) indicate the delimitation (12) formed by the troughed blocks (13) and drainage blocks (14). To this end the troughed blocks (13) have a raised area (23) which forms a clearly visible outer boundary. The shaped concrete blocks and the kit consisting of same is suitable for delimiting soil covers.
