Abstract: This invention provides a liquid atomizing nozzle which utilizes
a swirling flow of gas to form a liquid film in as uniform thickness
as possible in a circumferential direction, and in which blockages
are difficult to develop, and which can facilitate atomization
by further reducing the size of the droplets which disperse from
the front end. A liquid injected into an annular space 7 through
liquid passages 14 formed in an outer cylinder 2 in an incline
to the radial direction, flows within the annular space 7 having
a component swirling in the circumferential direction. Air which
flows into the annular space 7 through air passages 10 formed
inclined in the same direction as the liquid passages in the outer
cylinder 2, develops a swirling flow Ac within the annular space
7, acts upon the injected liquid to spread it onto an inner wall
5 of the outer cylinder 2, and further improving the uniformity
of the thickness of the liquid film in a circumferential direction.
When the liquid film disperses from the front end edge 16 of the
outer cylinder 2, atomization is facilitated and the size of the
droplets may be reduced further.

Abstract: The process enables determination of the number of bits to load in to a transmission channel. The procedure uses a coder to add redundancy to the binary information, and interlacer allowing suppression of all correlation in the binary elements. This allows determination of the number of bits to load in to the transmission channel as a function of the signal to noise ratio and binary error probability.  The process provides modulation for a digital transmission system with an error corrector code, and comprises a determination of the number of bits to load in to a transmission channel. The procedure associates a coder intended to add redundancy to the binary information, and interlacer allowing suppression of all correlation in the binary elements, and labelling of the same elements with Gray type coding, in order to associate the interlaced binary elements with a constellation point chosen from a predefined set. The procedure allows precise determination of the order of the constellation, and determination of the number of bits to load in to the transmission channel as a function of the signal to noise ratio measured at reception and as a function of the binary error probability at the output of the receiver.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une section de transmission (308) destinée à recevoir des informations sur les émissions relatives aux grandes lignes et aux conditions de réception d'une émission à venir; et à recevoir une émission sur la base desdites informations sur les émissions. Elle concerne également une section de détermination de modifications (307) pouvant détecter une modification des informations sur les émissions. La section de sélection des émissions (309) amène la section de transmission (308) à suspendre la réception d'émissions et à commuter un port de communication lorsqu'un changement de zone de diffusion des émissions est détectée par la section de détermination des changements de zone de diffusion (307). Du fait de cette situation, la section de transmission (308) est autorisée à continuer de recevoir l'émission sans interruption. Dans le cas où une émission est diffusée par un port de communication différent fondé sur les zones, le procédé de l'invention permet de recevoir normalement cette émission, même lorsque, en déplacement, on passe d'une zone à une autre.
