Title: Lightly compacted concrete
Inventor: POHLMANN MARKO
IPC: C04B20/00
Filed: 2004-10-30
Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: The invention pertains to a concrete material for a support layer of a permanent way for railroads or streetcars that is realized in a ballastless fashion, as well as the utilization of this material for producing such a support layer.     This material should make it possible to effectively reduce the thus far required expenditure of manual labor for installation and compacting work--particularly for banked tracks in curves.     This is achieved in that the concrete material has a limestone powder content of 240-280 kg/m3 and an aggregate content of 1500-1700 kg/m3, wherein 35-45% of the aggregate consist of an aggregate with grain sizes on the order of 0 to 2 mm, 25-35%  consist of an aggregate with grain sizes on the order of 2 to 8 mm and 25-35% consist of an aggregate with grain sizes on the order of 8 to 16 mm, and wherein a flow agent content is inversely proportional to the geometric cant of the support layer of the permanent way.

Abstract: Le procédé selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour surveiller et prédire l'état d'une porte automatique d'un élévateur ou plus généralement d'une porte automatique dans un bâtiment. Dans le procédé, l'accélération ou la vitesse de la porte est mesurée et un modèle dynamique de la porte est créé. A l'aide de ce modèle, des valeurs estimées de l'accélération ou de la vitesse de la porte peuvent être calculées sous forme d'une fonction de paramètres inconnus. Un des paramètres inconnus est la force de frottement qui s'exerce sur la porte pendant le mouvement. Le fait d'utiliser l'accélération ou la vitesse estimée ainsi que les valeurs d'accélération ou de vitesse mesurée, permet d'obtenir une intégrale de probabilité dont on trouve la valeur minimale au moyen d'un optimiseur. Les paramètres inconnus correspondant à la valeur minimale indiquent l'état du moment de la porte. Sur la base des résultats de mesure précédents, il est en outre possible de prédire un moment du temps où une panne de fonctionnement de la porte est susceptible de se produire. Outre les paramètres de force inconnus, il est possible, à l'aide d'un algorithme génétique, de déterminer également l'état de fonctionnement d'un dispositif de fermeture de porte.

Title: High-resistance pourable mortars with high fluidity
Inventor: COSTA UMBERTO
IPC: C04B20/00
Filed: 2005-02-09
Granted: 2012-07-24
Abstract: Described herein are new cementitious mortars with a high degree of fluidity and high final resistance. The mortars contain water, a hydraulic binder, a pozzolanic substance (finely ground slag), a fluidifier and/or superfluidifier, a setting regulator, and aggregates having a specific granulometric distribution. The aggregates are made up of three highly monogranular fractions (A, B, C), and a fourth fraction (D) having a low monogranularity. The new mortars described herein have values of fluidity higher, by approximately 70%, than those of mortars produced with traditional aggregates. The increase in fluidity is obtained without increasing the water/cement ratio and without increasing the amount of fluidifiers/superfluidifiers present. The mortars produced according to the invention may be used to advantage in all applications in which it is required to associate a high degree of fluidity and a high final mechanical resistance, both in compression and in flexure.

Abstract: Méthode et système de communication d'éléments de données sur un réseau de communication. Un élément de données original destiné à être communiqué à un dispositif de destination est mis en antémémoire dans un magasin de données réseau lié à un identificateur unique (UID) généré pour repérer l'élément de données original. L'identificateur unique est alors envoyé comme mandataire pour l'élément de données original au dispositif de destination. L'élément de données original peut être traité (p. ex. en réponse à un type de dispositif de destination) pour créer un élément de données traité et l'élément de données traité est envoyé à la place de l'élément de données original. L'élément de données traité peut aussi être mis en antémémoire avec l'identificateur unique, par exemple afin d'être réutilisé et d'éliminer le traitement en double. Le dispositif de destination est adapté de manière à retourner l'identificateur unique lorsque l'élément de données original est communiqué de nouveau, diminuant ainsi les communications de l'élément de données original sur le réseau de communication.
