Abstract: In the case of a ballast for starting and operating alternating-current, high-pressure, gas-discharge lamps, which ballast is supplied from a DC-voltage source, having a DC/DC-converter which produces a stabilised and/or regulated-power DC voltage from the DC voltage of the DC-voltage source, having a bridging switch which is connected to the DC/DC converter and is connected to the high-pressure, gas-discharge lamp via a starting device for producing a starting voltage, it being possible to operate the bridging switch in the DC mode or in the AC mode, in order to create a ballast in the case of which reliable starting which is as fast as possible is ensured and in the case of which the stable burning state is achieved reliably, as quickly as possible and without any flickering, the bridging switch is operated in the DC mode when the ballast is brought into use, a status-determining device which produces a signal when the high-pressure, gas-discharge lamp has been successfully started is connected to a delay device which is connected to the bridging switch and passes the signal thereto from the status-determining device after being delayed by the delay time, and the bridging switch is switched from the DC mode to the AC mode by the signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For shock-proof and vibration-proof fixing of printed-circuit boards in guide grooves (4) in a mounting rack (1) by means of clamping devices (5), the guide grooves (4), which are of T-like cross-section, are provided with undercuts. The clamping devices (5), which are held in a self-locking manner, are pushed into said undercuts, said clamping devices (5) each consisting of a flat retaining rail (7) having a compression strip (8) which is supported displaceably thereon. The latter has slots (10) through which pins (9) on the retaining rail (7) pass and whose longitudinal axes extend at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the compression strip (8). The compression strip (8) is displaced in the longitudinal direction and, in this case by means of the slotted guide, transversely with respect thereto, by means of an operating screw (13) which passes through an elongated hole in the supporting flap (11) on the retaining rail (7), until the printed-circuit board which is pushed into a recess (17) in the guide groove (8) is firmly clamped between the compression strip (8) and a lateral bearing surface (18) of the recess (17). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced silicon nitride based nanocomposite material is produced by mixing a powder mixture of silicon nitride powders (with or without alumina powders), and fine silicon carbide powders, with a solution of a preceramic polymer containing silicon and nitrogen, to form a solution for impregnation, by passing carbon fibers through the solution to produce a mass of impregnated carbon fibers, forming the mass to a desired shape and by sintering in an inert atmosphere. Ultra-high strength and toughness are produced due to reinforcement by nanocompositization of the matrix phase, that by dispersion of fine particles and that by long carbon fibers , part of matrix phase is generated by thermal cracking of preceramic polymer.

Abstract: A dynamic address translation (DAT) mechanism which supports virtual memory pages of different sizes with minimal hardware and design impact. A dynamic look-aside table. (DLAT) 71 is modified to allow the addition of a second page size to system architecture. The DLAT 71 is divided into two sections one 71 a  for small (4kB) pages and the other 71 b  for large (1MB) pages. A steering table 74 indicates whether the segment last contained 4kB pages or a 1MB page. As each segment is translated by the DAT mechanism, the page size (1MB or 4kB) contained in the segment is known, and this information is used to select the address bus used for indexing the DLAT.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser having a plurality of heterostructure layers (22,24,26,28) including at least one active layer for production and amplification of coherent radiation includes an integrated amplifier (10′). The amplifier includes a contact set and a mask layer (40) to shape a lateral gain profile, through control of injected carriers, in the active region of the amplifier. The shaped lateral gain profile matches the amplitude maxima and minima of a fundamental mode of the semiconductor laser, which reduces modal distortion and improves efficiency. The contact of the integrated amplifier is also shaped to match the width of an expanding beam from the laser into and through the amplifier. Various lenses integrated into an outlet of the amplifier can effect collimation or magnification/focussing. In one embodiment, the integrated lens includes a separately addressable and controllable contact to control the focal length of the integrated lens dynamically, to permit spot size modulation and dynamic correction of focussing errors.

Abstract: Il est décrit un procédé pour la détection de dérangements, lequel permet de manière simple et sans problèmes de détecter différentes sources de dérangements au cours de la surveillance continue d'un système à électrodes. Selon ce procédé, on envoie au moyen d'un convertisseur analogique-numérique (12) par l'intermédiaire du réseau (4) une impulsion rectangulaire variable en amplitude et en durée à la sonde de mesure (18) plongeant dans un fluide dont le pH est à mesurer (16). La sonde mesure la tension U1 modifiée par l'impédance de la sonde et la compare avec une valeur de consigne correspondant à une sonde de mesure intacte. Des écarts entre les valeurs mesurées obtenues et la valeur de consigne prédéterminée permettent de tirer des conclusions quant à l'état des électrodes. Il ne faut plus démonter la sonde de mesure (18), et elle peut rester pendant le déroulement tout entier du procédé dans le fluide dont le pH est à mesurer. Une perturbation du processus à surveiller peut ainsi être complètement ou au moins partiellement évitée.

Abstract: On détermine la fréquence de contact avec des lecteurs et l'étendue de ce contact pour un ensemble de supports publicitaires (m), avec un nombre spécifique de publicités (nm) par support. Tout d'abord, un sous-ensemble de personnes interrogées dans le cadre d'une étude pour chaque support est choisi. La base de données de réponse obtenue est ensuite filtrée. Des distributions bêta sont utilisées pour construire un réseau contenant les probabilités que les membres du sous-ensemble seront exposés à un nombre i de publicités, parmi un nombre (nm) de publicités, les paramètres de distribution bêta représentant une fonction de la régularité à laquelle une personne interrogée est exposée à un média. Le réseau de probabilités est alors combiné avec les données de l'étude sur l'utilisation des médias par les personnes interrogées afin que l'on détermine une distribution de fréquence conjointe des occasions de voir une publicité, des paramètres de distribution, et des fréquences de contact moyennes ainsi que de l'étendue de contact.

Abstract: On prépare un alliage supraconducteur de type II, lequel est supraconducteur à un champ magnétique élevé prédéterminé, en produisant un composite présentant un agencement périodique d'au moins deux métaux de transition de façon à obtenir de nombreuses interfaces entre les différents métaux de transition, lesquels comprennent le niobium, le titane, le zirconium, le vanadium, le hafnium, le tantale ainsi que des alliages de ceux-ci. La combinaison de métaux de transition est choisie de telle façon que l'un des métaux agit comme une seconde phase lorsque les couches sont soumises à des températures susceptibles de produire un état d'équilibre à deux phases à partir d'un alliage en solution solide des métaux de transition. Le composite est mécaniquement réduit et chauffé de façon à produire une diffusion réciproque des métaux de transition pour former des zones d'alliage supraconducteur ductile au niveau des interfaces des métaux de transition. Un traitement thermique suffisant est effectué dans la région où deux phases sont présentes dans le diagramme d'équilibre, de façon à produire une région à deux phases, l'une des phases étant composée de l'alliage supraconducteur de type II requis et l'autre de l'alliage ou du métal normal non supraconducteur. La température de traitement thermique est limitée à la région à deux phases. Le composite subit ultérieurement une réduction mécanique, de sorte que les deux zones présentent chacune une épaisseur inférieure à 1000 nm environ.
