Abstract: A gasket (10; 40; 50; 70) comprises a sealing member which forms a closed loop extending around a hole. The sealing member is formed from resilient metal and has a transverse cross section which is generally X-shaped and comprises two arms (12, 14) which project inwardly of the hole, and two arms (16, 18) which project outwardly of the hole. The inwardly projecting arms form a first seal around said hole, and the outwardly projecting arms form a second seal around said hole. Each arm extends from a junction (22) with the remainder of the gasket to a tip (24) of the arm which engages one of the bodies. Each arm has its greatest thickness at said junction (22) and its smallest thickness at a point adjacent to or at said tip (24), the arm continuously reducing in thickness between said junction and said point. The gasket can yield from the tips of the arms inwardly as the pressure on the gasket increases.

Title: Device for sensing the angular position for controlling a synchronous motor excited by a permanent magnet
Inventor: SCHROEDER ULRICH
IPC: H02P6/18
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for sensing the angular position for controlling a synchronous motor excited by a permanent magnet. The sensing device comprises a computing circuit (40) including measuring means (41) for determining the voltage Vu of a given phase U, first subtracting means (44) for deducing from the voltage Vu determined by the measuring means (41) a magnitude (C1) corresponding to the drop in the resistive voltage on the resistor (Rm) of the winding considered to have been passed through by a current iu, means for integrating (42) the signal derived from the first subtracting means (44), second subtracting means (47) for deducing from the signal derived from the integrating means (42) a magnitude (C2) corresponding to the drop in the inductive voltage on the inductor (Lm) of the winding considered to have been passed through by the current iu, and a comparing circuit (43) for sensing the crossovers of the sinusoidal signal of the rotor flux derived from the second subtracting means (47) and thus supplying the information signal locating the angular position with respect to the stator. The device for sensing the angular position avoids the use of sensors with Hall effect or of the inductive type.

Title: Improvements to fixed partially immersed caisson dikes
Inventor: ROGER PIERRE
IPC: E02B3/06
Filed: 1997-12-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a fixed caisson type dike (1) partially immersed between an upstream sheet of water (3) and a downstream sheet of water (4) such that water flows beneath the dike. The downstream front part (AB) of the dike which is likely to be affected by the movement of water under the effect of the surge, essentially slopes downstream at an angle ( alpha ) at most equal to 60 DEG  and at least equal to 25 DEG  with respect to the horizontal line. Said dike is further improved by an upstream front profile (10) specially designed for increasing the effect produced by the downstream front profile and by the addition of a central chamber (11) greatly decreasing the vertical stresses. Said dike amplifies the phenomenon of damping during periods of high surge (T > 8 seconds) and limits the risks of resonance downstream generated by the interaction of the construction with the site to be protected.

Abstract: A medium attachment unit (MAU) is provided that may be configured for implementing
one or more loopback modes. 
     A loopback test refers to an ability of an MAU to assist in system tests in a network
environment. In one loopback mode, known as a pass through loopback mode, data is passed
from DO directly to TD, and signals received from RD are transmitted directly to DI, to permit
simultaneous transmission from DI to TD. This loopback mode is useful when MAU is part of
a DTE, and jumper connections are used, to permit DTE software to test a transmission
through the MAU in both directions in a single operation. In another mode, known as return
mode, signals from DO are returned to DI and signals form RD are returned to TD. In both
cases collision detection is disabled. Other checks may be performed through various
implementations of the loopback modes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif entraîné par la pesanteur, ainsi que des procédés associés destinés à la libération prolongée d'un fluide, tel qu'une substance volatile, dans un environnement local. La pesanteur entraîne le fluide hors d'un bouchon poreux (26), le niveau du fluide situé dans le réservoir (24) diminuant d'un niveau initial (30) pour tomber à un niveau inférieur (32). Le dispositif (20) de la figure comprend un boîtier (22) (dont le conduit intérieur est montré en pointillés 30 et 32 sur la figure), présentant un conduit et une première extrémité ouverte, au moins un bouchon poreux (26), perméable à une substance volatile et placé dans la première extrémité ouverte du boîtier et occupant partiellement le conduit de ce boîtier, un réservoir (24) délimité par le conduit et le bouchon poreux, ainsi qu'une certaine quantité de fluide contenue dans le réservoir. Lorsqu'on utilise le dispositif, on l'oriente (par exemple en le suspendant par une cordelette ou un crochet passé dans une ouverture (36)) de façon que la substance contenue dans le réservoir soit en communication fluidique constante avec le bouchon poreux. Ce dispositif peut comporter encore un orifice d'entrée, servant à le recharger en substance et se trouvant en communication fluidique avec le réservoir, et si le dispositif est destiné à un usage domestique, il peut comporter un élément décoratif (fixé par exemple sur le dispositif). Le dispositif peut également comporter une pile produisant un gaz électrochimique, afin d'aider à la dispersion par de la substance par la pesanteur. Dans certains modes de réalisation, on peut associer à ce dispositif un élément chauffant, ou on peut le lui incorporer, lequel élément sert à volatiliser la substance. Dans une variante de réalisation, on utilise le dispositif pour distribuer un agent à effet bénéfique sur la peau d'un animal, tel qu'un mammifère.
