Abstract: La présente invention consiste à traiter par hydrométallurgie aux conditions normales de pression les impuretés dégagées par la métallurgie du cuivre, et ce, afin de rétablir des valeurs initiales en économisant l'énergie. Ce procédé permet en outre de piéger les impuretés métalliques et de les amener à des états compatibles avec un rejet dans l'environnement. Les caractéristiques majeures des différentes réalisations de l'invention sont une lixiviation à l'eau de la poussière de carneau, la dissolution des espèces métalliques au cours d'une phase contrôlée de lixiviation acide, l'extraction du cuivre sous forme de sulfure, et la possibilité de conduire les différentes opérations du processus aux conditions normales de pression.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with systems for transferring value between electronic purses, usually in the form of IC or "Smart" cards, via the intermediary of an interface device. In order to control the flow of value between purses a hierarchical class structure is proposed. This is achieved by assigning to each purse a class which controls the conditions under which value may be transferred to and from (mainly from) a purse. Thus each purse stores in memory a representation of its own class, together with a list of those classes to which the purse can transfer value.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de fabrication de cibles de pulvérisation cathodique Cr-Me, où Me est un métal, de préférence un métal de transition, et de préférence choisi dans un groupe composé de Cu, Fe et V. Dans une première étape, une poudre ou des cristaux de Cr et de Me sont choisis, de l'ordre de moins de 100 mesh. De préférence, la poudre ou les cristaux ont une taille de 6 à 8 mesh environ. Le pourcentage en poids de Cr est d'au moins 50 %, selon le poids additionné total de Cr et de Me présents. Les composants Cr et Me sont ensuite mécaniquement alliés dans un broyeur à boulets à forte puissance, ou un appareil similaire, de façon à obtenir une poudre où se mélangent intimement Cr et Me. Cette poudre est alors criblée à l'aide, par exemple, d'un tamis de 20 à 70 mesh, puis est soumise à une compression isostatique à chaud (H.I.P.) pour être consolidée en subissant des pressions de l'ordre de 10 000 à 45 000 psi à des températures allant de 800 °C à 1500 °C, pendant 15 minutes à 5 heures. Le conteneur H.I.P. est alors ouvert, et la masse ou la billette consolidée est coupée et usinée dans la taille et la forme voulues.

Abstract: A before-image buffer controller (21) is arranged
separately from a memory controller (20) and is
connected to a system bus (16). When there is a write
access request from a CPU (14) to a cache memory (17)
corresponding to this CPU, the before-image buffer
controller is automatically started in response to a
command issued from this cache memory (17) onto the
system bus (16), and issues a command for reading
previous data from a main memory (12). Since the
before-image buffer controller (21) operable independently
of the memory controller (20) is arranged in this
way, a memory state restore function can be easily
realized by using an existing computer system as it is
without changing a memory controller.

Abstract: On a piecing method of a spinning machine which, after cutting a sliver between normally rotating draft rollers and stationary draft rollers, inserts a leading yarn into the spindle of a twist device and carries out piecing by the restarting of the draft rollers, restarting of the twist device and running of the leading yarn, approximately all the fibers comprising the tapered tip of the cut sliver form the joint part by being entangled in the leading yarn. As almost all of the fibers comprising the tapered tip of the cut sliver contribute to the joint part, the success rate of piecing is increased and a stronger joint part may be formed.

Abstract: The space of a buffer 201 is logically partitioned into space reserved
for requests only, space reserved for responses only, and space that can be
used for either requests or responses, i.e., dynamically usable as needed by
the system. An arbiter 301 uses three registers to keep track of the
request buffer space 302, the response buffer space 303 and the dynamic
space 304. The arbiter compares each of the registers with a
corresponding limit 307, 308, and 309, to determine if a request packet or
a response packet should be sent to the buffer. The limits are set by
software and define the maximum number of request products, response
packets, and total number of packets the buffer can hold. For example, the
limit may be set to eight requests, eight responses and ten total. Thus two
spaces are reserved for requests and two spaces are reserved for responses,
and six are dynamically usable.

Abstract: A plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (10) includes a number of process gas injection tubes (128) and at least one dedicated clean gas injection tube (130). A plasma is used to periodically clean the interior surfaces of the deposition chamber. The cleaning is made more rapid and effective by introducing the clean gas through the dedicated clean gas injection tube. In this manner the clean gas can be introduced at a relatively high flow rate without detracting from the cleaning of the interior surfaces of the process gas injection tubes. As a separate aspect of this invention, a high-frequency signal is applied to both terminals of the coil (102) during the cleaning process. This produces a plasma, mainly by capacitive coupling, which has a shape and uniformity that are well-suited to cleaning the surfaces of the deposition chamber.

Abstract: To prevent increase in stress on a soldered join between a terminal pin and a circuit board in the event of thermal expansion, a support (22) with a larger diameter and a recess (21) with a smaller diameter are formed on a terminal pin (20). An alignment plate (30) is arranged to be movable with respect to a connector housing (11) between a support position in which the support member (22) is a close fit in a position fixing hole (31), and a release position in which the recess (21) is a loose fit. This eliminates the increase in stress on the soldered portion (M) due to differing rates of thermal expansion and contraction of the circuit board (P) and alignment plate (30).

Abstract: An interferometer, such as a Mach-Zehnder type is fed with a
pulse train. One arm is fed with a data stream, so as to modulate the
pulse train according to the data stream. This enables the data
stream to be regenerated, or sampled without converting from optical
form into electrical form. Thus all optical regeneration, multiplexing,
demultiplexing or retiming to remove jitter, can be achieved. An
optical amplifier (20) in one arm of the interferometer enables the
interference condition of the interferometer to be varied, to cause the
pulse train to be modulated by the data.

Abstract: The fluid absorbent members according to the present invention preferably comprise three basic components: chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled bulking fibers, high surface area fibers, and a binder additive such as thermoplastic fibrous material or chemical binders. Fluid absorbent members according to the present invention use a high surface fiber and refining to provide capillary pressure (or suction) to the fluid absorbent member. These high surface area fibers are generally small and highly conformable. They provide the substrate with capillary pressure well in excess of the capillary pressure found in the bulk-providing chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled fibers (unrefined) alone. A presently preferred fiber for this high surface application is the eucalyptus family of wood pulp fibers. Eucalyptus provides desirable capillary pressure characteristics in combination with the chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled fibers and will not easily pass through a forming screen. In accordance with the present invention, these component materials are combined into a stratified, multi-functional fluid absorbent member wherein the strata are preferably co-formed. The present invention therefore provides structures wherein the properties of the strata may be tailored to suit particular applications by utilizing the different compositions of the strata to achieve specific functionality.
