Patent EP-0922993-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SUGITA YUKIO
IPC: G03D3/08
Filed: 1994-08-03
Abstract: In a photosensitive material processing
apparatus, a photosensitive material taking on the form
of a long strip is fed into a conveyance mechanism (11) and
conveyed in this form along a predetermined conveyance
path. An exposure device (31), a reservoir section, a
development processing section, and a cutter are located
in the conveyance path. The exposure device carries out
scanning exposing operations on the long strip of the
photosensitive material and thereby forms latent images
on the long strip of the photosensitive material. In the
reservoir section, a looped portion for serving as a
buffer for conveyance is formed in the long strip of the
photosensitive material, on which the latent images have
been formed. In the development processing section (4),
development processing is carried out on the long strip
of the photosensitive material, which is fed via the
reservoir section. The cutter cuts the long strip of the
photosensitive material, which has been subjected to the
development processing, into sheets having a
predetermined length.

Abstract: A computer system (10) includes a plurality of hot-plug
sockets (30-33), each of which can be selectively uncoupled from
a bus (59) during normal system operation, in order to
facilitate insertion or removal of module (36). A clock signal
(PCLK) is generated at one of two different frequencies, and at
system power-up a clock arbitration circuit (47) is responsive
to modules which are present for specifying a speed of the clock
signal. A hot-plug controller circuit (18) can selectively
uncouple one of the hot-plug sockets from the bus during normal
operation to facilitate insertion or removal of a module, and
also facilitates a determination of whether clock speed
requirements of an inserted module are compatible with the
current clock speed. The selected socket is recoupled to the
bus only if the inserted module is compatible with the current
clock speed.

Abstract: A multi-color semiconductor lamp includes a
semiconductor light source (10) activable so as to
generate a light output, a dispersing prism (20, 20')
and a lens (30). The prism (20, 20') has an input side
(21) located in front of the light source (10) to receive
the light output, and an output side (22), and separates
the light output of the light source (10) into a
plurality of chromatic components that radiate at
different angles at the output side (22) . The lens (30)
is disposed in front of the output side (22) of the prism
(20, 20') such that a vertex of a conical focusing region
associated with the lens (30) is located at the output
side (22) of the prism (20, 20'). The light source (10)
is activated when the spatial position of one of the
light source (10) and the prism (20, 20') relative to
the other one of the light source (10) and the prism
(20, 20') has been varied such that a selected one of
the chromatic components is registered with the conical
focusing region of the lens (30). The semiconductor
lamp can thus be controlled so as to generate different
colored light outputs.

Abstract: Un injecteur (10) de carburant à commande hydraulique comprend un corps (11) d'injecteur qui définit une entrée (15) haute pression, un drain (16) basse pression, une cavité supérieure (41) pour le fluide moteur, une cavité inférieure (44) pour le fluide moteur et une sortie (18) de buse. Un piston (50) est placé dans le corps (11) d'injecteur de manière à se déplacer entre une position rentrée et une position sortie. Le piston (50) comporte une première surface hydraulique (47) qui est exposée à la pression du fluide dans la cavité supérieure (41) pour le fluide moteur et une surface hydraulique opposée (46) qui est exposée à la pression du fluide dans la cavité inférieure (44) pour le fluide moteur. Une soupape (12) de commande est fixée dans le corps (11) d'injecteur et comprend un distributeur à tiroir cylindrique (30) qui peut se déplacer entre des première et deuxième positions. Lorsque le distributeur à tiroir cylindrique (30) se trouve dans la première position, le piston est sollicité pour reprendre sa position rentrée étant donné que la cavité supérieure (41) pour le fluide moteur est ouverte au drain basse pression, alors que la cavité inférieure (44) pour le fluide moteur est ouverte à l'entrée haute pression. Pendant une injection, le distributeur à tiroir cylindrique (30) est déplacé dans sa deuxième position dans laquelle la cavité supérieure (41) pour le fluide moteur est ouverte sur l'entrée haute pression, alors que la cavité inférieure (44) pour le fluide moteur est ouverte au drain basse pression. A la fin d'une injection, le distributeur à tiroir cylindrique (30) est déplacé dans une position intermédiaire dans laquelle les deux cavités supérieure et inférieure (41,44) pour le fluide moteur sont exposées à l'entrée haute pression. Ceci entraîne le piston (50) à cesser de manière soudaine et brusque sa course de pompage descendante, ce qui produit à son tour une chute plus rapide de la pression du carburant, une fermeture plus rapide du clapet antiretour à pointeau (60), et par conséquent une fin plus brusque de l'injection.

Abstract: Afin de réaliser un changement le fil (F) dans les limites d'une course de fil (H) d'une bobineuse (1), à l'aide d'un guide-fil en forme de pointeur, ci-après dénommé pointeur, à une vitesse élevée, le pointeur est effilé vers l'extrémité libre de façon correspondante en termes de forme et de poids. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on utilise un polynôme d'au moins un degré. En plus, le fil est guidé sur une règle de guidage (6). La commande (12) du moteur (8) est prévue de telle façon que le pointeur (7) ne sert pas uniquement au guidage du fil (F) dans les limites de la course de fil (H) mais aussi, d'une part, le pointeur s'arrête dans un position (C) dans les limites de la course de changement (H) pour former un bourrelet terminal sur une bobine finie et, d'autre part, il s'arrête dans une position (A) et dans une position (B) en dehors des limites de la course de changement (H) de telle façon que, dans la position (A), le fil soit saisi par une nouvelle douille à l'entrée (8) pendant le changement de bobine puis, dans la position (B), le fil soit enroulé sur la douille pour constituer une bobine de réserve avant d'être à nouveau ramené dans la course (H) par le pointeur (7). Les points d'inversion souhaités peuvent être introduits dans la commande. La commande et le moteur coopèrent pour inverser le pointeur en un point d'inversion choisi. Un moyen d'inversion, prévu à cet effet, fonctionne sans contact, par exemple, par voie électromagnétique.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de classifier les états d'une population sur la base des caractérisations des formes de sous-variétés de points, de courbes, de surfaces, ou de sous-volumes. On examine tout d'abord une structure à l'aide, par exemple, de techniques d'imagerie clinique telles que CT, MRI ou les ultrasons (601), avant de soumettre ladite image à une fonction de transformée destinée à produire une représentation (602) de la nouvelle image. On compare (606) ensuite cette représentation, qui contient des données relatives à la forme (604) de la structure, à des formes moyennes caractérisant des groupes de population. Si la forme de la nouvelle image équivaut à une probabilité de correspondance optimale avec une forme moyenne, on classifie (607) alors cette nouvelle image dans la population caractérisée par cette forme moyenne, chaque population représentant un état de classification spécifique. En somme, si la forme de la nouvelle structure ressemble à la forme moyenne d'un groupe de population, cette nouvelle forme est classifiée dans le même état que les autres structures affichant les mêmes caractéristiques de formes.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for determining at least one property of a multiphase fluid. The method includes the steps of directing the multiphase fluid through a first flow passage, monitoring the multiphase fluid as it passes through the first flow passage to obtain a first signal representing a first flow characteristic of the multiphase fluid as a function of time, directing the multiphase fluid through a second flow passage, monitoring the multiphase fluid as it passes through the second flow passage to obtain a second signal representing a second flow characteristic of the multiphase fluid as a function of time, and then determining the property of the multiphase fluid by comparing the first signal and the second signal with a set of calibration maps. The second flow passage has a geometry different from the first flow passage which relates either to the cross section of the two flow passages or to the direction in which the multiphase fluid passes through the flow passages relative to gravity.
