Abstract: A child-resistant blister package for unit dose products, e.g., medicaments, composed of a blister layer and a cover layer. The blister layer formed of a planar material, e.g., thermoformable or cold-formable webstock, and has plural intersecting perforated line to form plural cells contiguous with the perforated lines. Some or all of the cells of the blister layer have a peripheral planar flanged portion and a blister portion projecting from the flanged portion to form a cavity in which the unit dose product is located. The cover layer is formed of a planar material, e.g., aluminum or other metal foil in either a single layer or laminated, and has plural intersecting perforated line to form plural cells contiguous with those perforated lines. Each cell of the cover layer is the same shape and size as a corresponding cell of the blister layer. The cover layer is fixedly, e.g., adhesively, secured to the blister layer along the flanged portions, with the perforated lines of each being aligned and with the cells of the cover layer being coincident with the cells of the blister layer. A keyhole shaped opening is provided in each cell having a cavity of the blister layer. Each keyhole shaped opening includes an elongated, e.g., 3 mm linear, slit having a pair of ends and a hole, e.g., a 1 mm circular hole, at a first one of the pair of ends of the slit. Each keyhole shaped opening is located in its associated cell of the blister layer so that the first one of the ends of its slit is located adjacent but spaced by a small gap of a predetermined length, e.g., 1 mm, slightly from a perforated line forming an edge of the cell. The hole of each keyhole shaped opening is directed to but spaced, e.g., 4 mm, from the cavity of the associated cell.

Abstract: The invention provides a steel pipe being superior
in workability, particularly in bending workability, in
which an r-value in the axial direction of the pipe in
a portion where melting or transformation of a steel
material has occurred during seam welding is as high as
comparable to that in a portion where melting or
transformation of the steel material has not occurred,
and a method of producing the steel pipe. In the high-workability
steel pipe, an r-value in the longitudinal
direction is not less than 1.2, more preferably not
less than 1.6, over an entire area in the
circumferential direction, including a seamed portion.
The steel pipe is produced by a method comprising the
step of performing diameter-reducing rolling on a steel
pipe in a temperature range of from 600°C to Ac 3  with a
reduction in diameter of not less than 30%, preferably
after heating the steel pipe to temperatures of not
lower than Ac 1 , the steel pipe being produced by seam-welding
strip steel, or a method further comprising the
step of performing heat treatment of holding the rolled
steel pipe in a temperature range of from 600°C to
900°C for a time of 1 second or longer during cooling
subsequent to the diameter-reducing rolling or by 
reheating the rolled steel pipe after the cooling.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de synchronisation fréquentielle et temporelle d'un récepteur destiné à la réception de signaux à multiplexage fréquentiel optique (OFDM). Selon ledit procédé, on détermine un critère de qualité du signal OFDM durant un des intervalles de fréquence (sauts) pour chaque point d'un des domaines de recherche fréquentiels et temporels bidimensionnels. A partir de ce critère de qualité, on détermine ensuite le point de domaine présentant le critère de qualité (τx,fx) optimal du signal OFDM. Puis, on synchronise le récepteur sur la fréquence nominale avec prise en compte de la différence entre la fréquence nominale (fo) et la valeur de fréquence (fx) correspondant au critère de qualité optimal, et on démodule et décode le signal OFDM à partir de la valeur de temps (τx) correspondant au critère de qualité optimal.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un magnétomètre (500) transpinoriel possédant quatre éléments résistants (R1-R4) présentant une résistance magnétique géante (GMR) dans une configuration de pont. Un courant (504) de polarisation appliqué sur ce pont, produisant une sortie si ce pont est déséquilibré à cause des modifications dans les résistances GMR. Un champ magnétique oscillant est appliqué de façon inductive aux résistances GMR, les attaquant alternativement entre des états magnétiques saturés. Les résistance d'attaque sont physiquement agencées de façon qu'un champ magnétique externe s'oppose au champ appliqué dans deux résistances et assiste le champ appliqué dans les deux autres. La sortie est uniquement non zéro lorsque la somme du champ appliqué et du champ externe dépasse la coercivité GMR dans une paire de films GMR et pas dans l'autre. La fréquence du signal de sortie peut être modifiée par commutation de la polarité du courant de polarisation et par commande de la phase pour ce qui concerne le courant d'attaque.

Abstract: A substantially U-shaped gas discharge lamp (1), containing mercury for the gas discharge, is connected to a high-frequency driver circuit (6). To ensure that the gas discharge lamp (1) operates with the minimum loss and the maximum light yield possible, the respective output terminals (4, 5) of the high-frequency driver circuit (6) are not electrically grounded and the central section (11) of the gas discharge lamp (1) is capacitively coupled to an electric ground (M). This ensures a substantial reduction of the lamp current in the central section (11), thus lowering the thermal production of the gas discharge lamp (1) in said section, the latter becoming as a result the coldest place in the gas discharge chamber and the place for the condensation of the mercury. The mercury vapour pressure can thus be regulated and the light yield optimized.

Abstract: A description is given of equipment for filtering liquids, comprising three sections superimposed coaxially and placed above a container with filter walls for collecting the filtered particles. From the top to the bottom, the first section communicates directly with the second, while the second communicates with the third sector, and the latter communicates with the container via two valves. A pump introduces the liquid to be filtered into the first section, inside a filter layer, and another pump projects a quantity of the previously filtered liquid against the filter layer from the inside of the first section. By cyclically operating the valves it is possible to continuously filter the liquid, which flows out in the filtered state from ducts which branch from the first section, even while the particles deposited in the third section are discharged into a container with filter walls which is immersed in a vessel containing the liquid to be filtered.

Abstract: Système modulateur delta-sigma comprenant un modulateur delta-sigma (9) possédant un circuit de sommation (3) dont une première sortie est branchée de façon à recevoir un signal d'entrée (2), un circuit de filtre en boucle (5) dont une entrée est couplée à une sortie du circuit de sommation (3) et un circuit comparateur (22) dont une entrée est couplée à une sortie du circuit de filtre en boucle (5) et dont également une sortie est couplée à une sortie (23) du modulateur delta-sigma (9). La densité de la juxtaposition est réglée en fonction de modifications de la magnitude du signal d'entrée. Ceci s'effectue au moyen d'un filtrage numérique grossier, d'un signal de sortie (23) produit par le modulateur delta-sigma (9) le bruit présent dans ce signal de sortie (23) produit par le modulateur delta-sigma (9) provoquant une distribution de probabilité de l'apparition d'impulsions constituant un signal de sortie filtré (25) produit par le filtrage grossier. Un signal d'invalidation de juxtaposition est produit si le signal de sortie filtré (25) ne se trouve pas à l'intérieur d'une première fenêtre de seuil. On utilise ce signal d'invalidation de juxtaposition afin de valider un signal de séquence pseudo-aléatoire, de manière à produire un niveau de signal de juxtaposition non égal à zéro. On applique ce signal de juxtaposition non égal à zéro à la deuxième entrée du deuxième circuit de sommation (10). Le filtrage numérique grossier produit une distribution de probabilités, de façon à provoquer des transitions graduelles dans la densité des impulsions produites par le filtrage grossier.
