Patent EP-1395339-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CORDERO ENRIQUE A
IPC: B64D10/00
Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: An improved crew oxygen mask and stowage assembly combination (10) is provided including a stowage box (12) equipped with a door (22), with a crew mask assembly (14) made up of a mask (48), gas-conveying tubing (50) and valve unit (46). The box (12) also includes a valve-controlling switch lever (44) for selective gas-on or gas-off operation of valve unit (46). In normal conditions, the mask (48) and tubing (50) are stowed within box (12) with lever (44) oriented in the gas-on position, so that the tubing (50) is pressurized and mask (48) may be quickly pulled from the box (12) and used. After such use, the switch lever (44) is shifted to the gas-off position, causing the tubing (50) to be depressurized; this allows easy restowage of the tubing (50) and mask (48) within the box (12). However, when door (22) is closed, the switch lever (44) is cammed back to the gas-on position, thereby repressurizing tubing (50) and returning the combination (10) to a full-ready condition.

Abstract: Système d'alimentation électrique présentant une topologie à transfert indirect bidirectionnelle et comprenant deux convertisseurs à transfert indirect fonctionnant dans des directions opposées. Le courant circulant d'un module d'alimentation (101) à un appareil (102) est converti depuis une entrée de secteur (119) du module d'alimentation en un courant de sortie redressé envoyé à l'appareil par l'intermédiaire d'un câble à deux dérivations (116). Dans la direction opposée, un circuit de commande secondaire (120), placé dans l'appareil et comprenant un commutateur secondaire (115), provoque le renvoi de courant excédentaire au module d'alimentation, le circuit de commande primaire (103) réagissant de façon à stabiliser le courant envoyé à l'appareil. Le circuit de commande primaire sert à minimiser la quantité d'énergie reçue par le circuit résonnant. On détermine l'excédent de courant dans l'appareil en surveillant la tension et le courant dans l'appareil. Si les paramètres mesurés sont trop élevés, le retour de l'énergie excédentaire au module d'alimentation sera effectué.

Abstract: New Platinum Group Metal (PGM) free catalytic compositions comprising silver
(Ag) stabilized ceria (CeO 2 ) with Ag amount within the range of 5-90 mol.%
facilitating soot oxidation during the regeneration of Diesel particulate filters (DPF),
replacing (PGM) formulations are described. The catalysts have been studied by a
TGA method on soot oxidation activity. They proved particularly useful as
washcoat compositions for DPF as part of an automotive after-treatment system
for elimination and/or minimizing of exhaust gas emissions, particularly for directly
injected fuel engine vehicles. This was shown by testing full-size coated Diesel
particulate filters. Among the formulations tested, the silver-stabilized ceria
formulations e.g. can oxidize soot at 250-300°C in the presence of NO 2  and
oxygen, they can oxidize diesel soot even in the presence of oxygen as the sole
oxidizing agent at these temperatures. The regeneration abilities were comparable
or better than Pt formulations with Pt loading of 100g/ft 3  (28.32 g Pt/m 3 ). The
balance point was achieved at 250-275°C with complete soot oxidation at
325°C.The levels of CO; NO x  and HC emissions during regeneration were also
comparable.

Abstract: A method of determining when to save default coefficients in an echo canceller
so as to ensure that the capture of coefficients that correspond to the best possible
echo cancellation in a current condition. Coefficients are saved at varying times
depending on the amount of echo removed by the echo canceller. More particularly,
the present method involves constantly monitoring the error signal to the echo
canceller and comparing it with the error signal that would be obtained if default
coefficients were to be used instead of the current coefficients. This ensures that the
default coefficients are upgraded each time the current set of coefficients is better than
the saved default coefficients.

Abstract: A system includes a first processor coupled to a second
processor. The first and second processors are coupled to
memory. The first processor fetches and executes supported
instructions until an unsupported instruction is detected. The
second processor executes the unsupported instruction. If there
are less than a threshold number of consecutive supported
instructions before the next unsupported instruction, the second
processor loads the instructions in the first processor for
execution so that the first processor does not fetch the
instructions. If there are more than a threshold number of
consecutive supported instructions before the next unsupported
instruction, the first processor fetches and executes those
instructions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing barber scissors, wherein the scissor blades are pre-shaped from blanks by a predetermined degree of curvature in the direction facing away from the edge. This is followed by a step of welding on a hard metal material in the form of a welding bead on respective mutually facing faces of the scissor blades in order to form the edges, wherein the preliminary curvature of the scissor blades is neutralized owing to the influence of heat during the welding process. Subsequently the welding beads are ground so as to form the edges, and the scissor halves are pre-set and hardened. Then the barber scissors are hard-set in the assembled condition. The invention furthermore relates to barber scissors having such a configuration. Here the edges are present as massive material over the entire thickness of the scissor blades, so that even severally repeated re-grinding or re-setting of the barber scissors is possible without any loss of functionality.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for converting a hierarchical data
structure into a flat data structure based on a schema. The format of the hierarchical
data structure may be XML. A hierarchical data structure conforming to a schema is
loaded into an application program. The data structure includes elements and
attributes linked together in a parent-child relationship. The schema defines the
hierarchical relationships between the elements and attributes in the hierarchical data
structure. After the hierarchical data structure conforming to the schema has been
loaded, a plurality of layout rules is applied to the hierarchical data based on the
schema to create a flat data structure. The layout rules determine how the
hierarchical data will be inserted in the flat data structure. The layout rules may be
applied by identifying properties in the schema which identify occurrence
requirements for elements defined in the schema. After the layout rules have been
applied to the hierarchical data, the hierarchical data is rendered into a spreadsheet
by inserting the data in rows and columns.
