Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for removing dissolved radon gas from water for the purpose of reducing the exposure of household occupants to elevated airborne Rn levels, using a radon-permeable membrane at the interface between gaseous and liquid process streams. The membranes are permeable to the passage of radon gas but substantially impermeable to the passage of the bulk phases. Water is passed along one surface of a membrane in a high-surface-area membrane module, while stripping air is passed along the second surface of the membrane. Radon diffuses from the water stream into the stripping air. The membranes allow rapid and efficient mass transfer in compact devices. The stripping air stream is preferably maintained at a pressure substantially below that of the water undergoing treatment and is supplied to the membrane stripping module by a low-pressure fan or by a blower. Hollow-fiber and other high-surface-area (e.g., tubular, flat-sheet, and spiral-wound) membrane modules are suited to the practice of the invention; hollow fibers provide significant advantages in terms of low cost and high packaging density. The water undergoing treatment may be recirculated between the membrane module and a storage tank or accumulator. Membranes suitable for the practice of the present invention may be (i) dense, polymeric membranes of silicone rubber and various of its copolymers (e.g., the block copolymer formed from polydimethylsiloxane and polycarbonate) and (ii) hydrophobic, microporous membranes prepared from such non-wetting polymers as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polypropylene (PP). Porous membranes may be either isotropic or asymmetric. Non-porous or "dense" membranes may either be self-supporting or supported. Preferred are "composite" membranes consisting of a dense film residing atop or within a porous support membrane.

Abstract: The invention is based on an arrangement having a BCU unit (1) and having means for separable connection of BUS lines to this BCU unit, which means pass on the BUS signals electrically to a terminal, control section or plug socket. This relates especially to a corresponding arrangement in an installation system such as the EIB system. It is intended in the case of such an arrangement to ensure on-site overvoltage protection for terminals, control sections located there and plug sockets provided there using structurally simple and electrically safe means, which pass on the control signals to the terminals or control sections. In particular, already existing BCU units are intended to be capable of being retrofitted with overvoltage protection, according to the invention. For this purpose, it is initially provided according to the invention that overvoltage protection means be connected between the BUS connection on the one hand and the terminal, the control section or the plug socket on the other hand, and be connected to the BUS lines in such a manner that overvoltages which occur between the BUS lines are dissipated and such that the overvoltage protection means are located inside a separate structural element and, together therewith, form an overvoltage protection unit (2) which is connected to the BCU unit (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A microprocessor (MPU) is programmed to process pixel values of an input image to generate an output image, by means of systematic selection and combination of input pixel values. The system for selection and combination depends on a variable parameter (for example a zoom factor). Means responsive to the parameter value compiles (401) a machine code subroutine which is specific to that parameter and will cause the generation of one row of output pixel values. This compiled filter is then executed repeatedly (408) to generate all rows of the output image. The arrangement substantially eliminates per-pixel decisions, and is consequently faster than conventional microprocessor arrangements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un radiateur (40) et un condenseur (42) recouvrent le devant de la cage (10) d'un moteur d'un véhicule automobile. Une soufflante carénée (50) à moteur électrique est placée derrière le radiateur et le condenseur de sorte qu'elle les cerne et qu'elle aspire l'air à travers eux tout en expulsant l'effluent chaud de la cage du moteur. Bien que la cage soit en principe ventilée par de l'air sous pression dynamique, les éventuels points chauds qui pourraient se produire dans la cage ou à proximité de celle-ci, et qui seraient dus à une insuffisance d'air sous pression dynamique ou à un manque total de celui-ci, peuvent être ventilés par un éjecteur (76) associé à la soufflante carénée. L'effluent de la soufflante carénée (50) traverse l'éjecteur (76) qui, grâce à un effet de Venturi, crée une zone à pression relativement basse. Une zone à pression relativement élevée au niveau d'un point chaud est reliée à la zone à pression relativement basse de l'éjecteur par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit de ventilation (98, 100). Un écoulement de ventilation est créé dans ce conduit et est entraîné avec l'effluent pour être expulsé ultérieurement de la cage conjointement avec celui-ci.

Abstract: Selon un procédé de commande de l'insertion d'un fil de trame, le fil de trame est temporairement soumis à un frottement entraînant un freinage, et la tension du fil est mécaniquement détectée. Afin d'éviter que le frottement n'exerce une influence perturbatrice ou nuisible sur le fil, la tension du fil n'est détectée que temporairement pendant des phases déterminées de l'insertion, afin de tirer, de la courbe de variation de la tension dans le temps, des informations utiles pour la commande. Dans un métier mécanique, notamment un métier à tuyères, à lance ou à projectiles, un capteur de la tension du fil de trame peut être commuté pendant l'insertion entre une position de détection et une position passive dans laquelle il ne touche pas le fil de trame. De manière appropriée, le capteur de tension est intégré dans le frein d'insertion ou forme lui-même l'élément de freinage.
