Patent EP-1376100-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AMARY PASCAL
IPC: G01N21/33
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: The invention concerns an achromatic spectroscopic
ellipsometer for analysing small regions of a sample (1) over a
wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared
(IR). The spectroscopic ellipsometer contains a light source
(2) emitting a light beam (3). The light beam (3) goes through
a polarisation state generator section (4) before being focused
at an incidence angle  by a first parabolic mirror (5) to a
small spot on sample (1). A second parabolic mirror (6)
collects the reflected beam (16) and connects said beam to an
analysing section (7). The reflected beam (16) emerges from
the analysing section (7) to go to means (8) for detecting and
analysing a spectroscopically said beam. According to the
invention, the light beam (3) through the polarisation state
generator section (4) up to the first parabolic mirror (5) and
the light beam from the second mirror (6) through the
analysing section (7) are parallel enabling achromatism. The
incidence angle  is largely varied without shifting of the
location of the small spot on the sample surface.

Abstract: Automation system (1) comprises a VME bus (2), a master module (3) and one or more slave modules (4, 4') with each module having a unique base address. Each slave has a slave configuration sub-module (41, 41') that is placed in a configuration mode when power is connected to the VME bus. The master module has a master configuration sub-module that powers up into a configuration mode and then assigns base addresses to each slave module by storing the base address in their memory units (42, 42').  An Independent claim is made for a method for assigning addresses to slave modules connected to a VME bus.

Abstract: An expander that converts the thermal energy and the pressure energy
of a working medium into mechanical energy includes, within a casing (12, 15,
18), an operating part such as a group of axial piston cylinders operated by the
working medium introduced into an operating chamber, and a hermetically
sealed lubrication chamber (102) in which oil for lubricating at least the
operating part resides. Breather chambers (101, 103) are provided in an upper
part of the lubrication chamber (102), and a working medium discharge
chamber (90) into which the working medium is discharged from the operating
chamber is made to communicate with the breather chambers (101, 103) via
breather passages (B1 to B4). A mixture of oil and the working medium that
has leaked from the operating chamber into the lubrication chamber (102) is
separated in the breather chambers (101, 103), the oil is returned to the
lubrication chamber (102), and the working medium is returned to the working
medium discharge chamber (90) via the breather passages (B1 to B4). This
enables the influence of mixing of the oil and the working medium within the
casing of the expander to be minimized.

Abstract: A laminated sheet which contains a cross-linking foam
material, and radiates far infrared so that it has heat-insulating
and heat-retentive properties. The laminated sheet
(1) has a three-layered structure including polyethylene foam
(2) having a sheet shape that is one example of a cross-linking
foam material in which a substance that radiates far infrared
rays is mixed, non-woven fabric (3) having a sheet shape formed
on a lower face thereof and a polyester film (4) formed on an
upper face thereof. Since the laminated sheet of the present
invention is allowed to radiate far infrared rays, it can greatly
shorten the snow-melting time, etc., because of its heat
reflection effects in comparison with a sheet made of a single
material of non-woven fabric, and it also makes it possible to
greatly improve heat-insulating and heat-retentive effects, and
also to provide medical effects.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un régulateur de courant (20) utilisant une source de courant c.a., qui comprend une première entrée (26) et une seconde entrée (29). La première entrée (26) est connectée à la source de courant c.a. qui l'alimente en courant c.a. La seconde entrée (29) est connectée à un contrôleur (22) qui lui envoie un signal de commande. Le convertisseur de courant (24) génère un signal de sortie régulateur sensiblement sinusoïdal (28) dont l'amplitude réagit au signal de commande. Le régulateur de courant (20) comprend également un contrôleur (22) comprenant une première entrée (27) et une seconde entrée (25). La première entrée (27) reçoit le signal de sortie du régulateur et la seconde entrée (25) reçoit un signal de point de consigne. Le signal de point de consigne permet de déterminer l'amplitude du signal de référence sensiblement sinusoïdal qui est sensiblement en phase avec le signal de sortie du régulateur. Le contrôleur (22) génère le signal de commande qui indique la différence instantanée entre le signal de sortie du régulateur et l'amplitude du signal de référence sinusoïdal. L'amplitude du signal de référence sensiblement sinusoïdal est indépendante de l'amplitude de la source de courant c.a. et de l'amplitude du signal de sortie du régulateur.

Abstract: A common narrow-band speech signal is expanded into a wide-band speech signal. The expanded signal gives the impression of a wide-band speech signal regardless of what type of vocoder is used in a receiver. The robust techniques suggested herein are based on speech acoustics and fundamentals of human hearing. That is the techniques extend the harmonic structure of the speech signal during voiced speech segments and introduce a linearly estimated amount of speech energy in the wide frequency-band. During unvoiced speech segments, a fricated noise may be introduced in the upper frequency-band.
