Abstract: The circuit for signal folding comprises two pairs of differential branches with transistors (Q1, Q2, Q1b, Q2b) power-fed by the same constant current source (41) connected to the first supply terminal (42), where the transistors of one pair (Q1, Q2b) are in parallel to the transistors of other pair (Q2, A1b). Each group of two transistors in parallel is connected between a common resistor (R, Rb) and the second supply terminal (43), and the circuit output nodes are the joint collectors of transistors from two groups. The input voltages (V01, V01b, V02, V02b) vary as functions of an analogue signal (Vin), in pairs in opposition and in quadrature. The output voltages (V12, V12b) vary in opposition, and another circuit is required to obtain voltages varying in quadrature. The emitters of transistors are connected to the constant current source (41) via resistors (RE1, RR2, RE3, RE4). A claim is also included for an interpolation cell with four inputs and four outputs, and comprises two signal folding circuits and two current slip circuits. Each current slip circuit comprises two differential pairs of transistors, each power-fed by a constant current source and having common collector resistors connected to the supply terminal via an offset diode. A variant of the signal folding circuit comprises a ring of resistors for relaying input voltages to the bases of transistors. An analogue-digital converter comprises a cascade of signal folding circuits with stage outputs via comparators for delivery of binary sequence.

Abstract: In the inventive method for dynamic class loading, a first computer program
unit is remotely invokable by a second program unit, and the first program
unit is able to return a software object to the second program unit after being
remotely invoked. For the case that a class of the returned object is not
known to the second program unit, the inventive method comprises the steps
of
   a) a publisher of a Java Message System publishing a class file containing a
class description of the returned object, and   b) the second program unit acting as a subscriber of the Java Message
System and receiving the class file.  
This makes it possible that the second program unit receives the class file
without having to know from where the class file originates. Furthermore,
since the method uses the Java Message System, no internet protocol (IP)
addresses and internet communication means are required for
communicating with the second program unit.

Abstract: Case connect links of a straight tube Coriolis flowmeter couple a balance bar/flow tube junction to the flowmeter case. Each case connect link has at least one out of plane bend in its surface to allow the case connect link to expand/contract in response to temperature differentials between the internal elements of the flowmeter. The expansion/contraction permitted by the out of plane bend prevents structural damage to the case connect link as well as to the flowmeter elements to which it is connected.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining oil products such as diesel fuel with improved quality, from a gas oil fraction containing organosulphur compounds such as dibenzenethiophenes and/or their derivatives, with initial and final boiling points generally ranging between about 170 and 480  DEG C. Said method is characterised in that it comprises at least two steps which consist in: (a) liquid-liquid extraction wherein the diesel fuel fraction is contacted with a solvent so as to obtain a gas oil-type raffinate with low content of sulphur and aromatic compounds and an extract rich in solvent and with high content of sulphur and aromatic compounds; (b) oxidation of the extract sulphur compounds so as to obtain, after separation, a heavy gas oil-type hydrocarbon effluent with low sulphur content, and a residue comprising oxidised organosulphur compounds. The invention also concerns oil products obtained by said method which can be used either for the formulation of fuel for internal combustion engine with compression ignition (of the diesel type) or as fuel.

when copying the original with the printed advertisement
information, the printing paper is printed with deletion of the
printed advertisement information, namely original condition of
the original information is recovered. The printed advertisement
includes various information the user can select. According to
the user's selection, a various kind of and much advertisement
information, which it too much to print on one sheet of printing
paper, can be printed on one or more sheets of printing paper,
so that the present system can provide the user with more detailed
advertisement information. Further, the present system has
accounting means for charging an advertiser in connection with
a publication of the advertisement, and for decreasing rental fee
of the present printing system with the user in connection with
the publication of the advertisement. In such a way, the present
system not only prints the original information, but also prints
with the advertisement information, so that a new
advertisement-propaganda environment can be created.

Abstract: A container for a pasty cosmetic product has a wall defining an internal chamber. At least part of the wall is flexible. The container has a neck that provides access to the internal chamber. An applicator projects into the container and is attached to a cap that closes the container about the neck. Squeezing the flexible wall portion of the container permits the user to deposit product onto the applicator that would otherwise be inaccessible, thereby avoiding waste of product adhered to the inner wall of the container. This permits access by the consumer to a larger percentage of the contained product than has typically been possible in the traditional container.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de récupération d'un courant d'hydrogène gazeux haute pression et haute densité à partir d'un gaz de synthèse. Ledit gaz de synthèse est mis en contact avec une membrane qui divise le gaz de synthèse en un perméat enrichi en hydrogène et un non-perméat appauvri en hydrogène. Le perméat est transporté jusqu'à un absorbeur de dioxyde de carbone. Cet absorbeur de dioxyde de carbone extrait le dioxyde de carbone à l'aide d'un solvant. Le solvant riche en dioxyde de carbone, issu de l'absorbeur, est chauffé et envoyé vers un contacteur gaz-liquide, dans lequel le solvant est régénéré par désorption de l'azote. Un petit courant de recyclage d'un gaz régénérant, c'est à dire d'hydrogène, est ensuite mis en contact avec le solvant, éliminant par désorption l'azote dissous et entraîné du solvant. Ce gaz de désorption, le gaz régénérant ou de préférence, chacun d'eux, est alors mélangé au non-perméat aux fins de combustion dans une turbine de combustion.
