Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil assurant une protection contre l'explosion de l'atmosphère gazeuse d'un local clos tel qu'un local d'accouplement / de désaccouplement rapides (QCDC) d'une tourelle interne d'une bouée offshore de production et de déchargement, le local clos comportant des colonnes de production et des raccords de conduites qui représentent une source potentielle de gaz inflammable. Le procédé consiste à mélanger et à diluer le comburant contenu dans l'air par l'introduction dans le local clos un quantité suffisante d'un gaz inerte pour rendre non combustible le mélange de l'air et de n'importe quel gaz inflammable, indépendamment de la proportion du gaz inflammable dans le mélange. Le procédé consiste à évacuer du local clos le mélange non combustible de l'air et de n'importe quel gaz inflammable et à l'éjecter dans l'atmosphère environnante tout en introduisant du gaz inerte, ce qui a pour effet de créer une atmosphère sensiblement inerte à l'intérieur de ce local sensiblement clos. Le système de tourelle permet de contrôler l'atmosphère gazeuse à l'intérieur de la chambre close dans n'importe quel mode de fonctionnement de la tourelle, y compris les modes repos, en ligne et ventilation; il permet aussi d'adapter la commande de la pression de gaz aux conditions de fonctionnement normales comme aux conditions de fuite de gaz à l'intérieur du local.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and associated apparatus for improving the accuracy with which the speed of a fluid, such as a liquid, in particular blood flowing in a duct, such as a blood vessel, in particular the aorta, is measured by means of a signal emitted by a Doppler transducer ( 4 ). In characteristic manner, according to the method, the Doppler transducer is associated with a programmable memory ( 50 ) which contains at least one correction data item for correcting the Doppler signal transmitted by the transducer ( 4 ) to a transducer control and computer unit ( 8 ). Said computer unit ( 8 ) incorporates said signal correction data item in its computation (at 16 ) of each speed measurement on the basis of each signal emitted by the Doppler transducer, and it computes the speed value while taking account of said correction data item so as to provide a corrected measurement of the speed of said fluid, thereby improving its accuracy.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for transmitting data packets over a packet switching network with widely varying link speeds. The switches of the network maintain a common time reference (CTR). Each switch along a route from a source to a destination forwards data packets in periodic time frames (TFs) of a plurality of durations that are predefined using the CTR. The time frame duration can be longer than the time duration required for transmitting a data packet, in which case the exact position of a packet in the time frame is not predetermined. In accordance with the present invention, different time frame durations: TF1, TF2, and so on are used for forwarding over links with different capacities. This invention further describes a method for transmitting and forwarding data packets over a packet switching and shared media networks. The shared media network can be of various types, including but not limited to: IEEE P1394 and Ethernet for desktop computers and room area networks, cable modem head-end (e.g., DOCSIS, IEEE 802.14), wireless base-station (e.g., IEEE 802.11), and Storage Area Network (SAN) (e.g., FC-AL, SSA). The invention further describes a method for interfacing a packet-switched network with real-time streams from various sources, such as circuit-switched telephony network sources. A data packet that is packetized at the gateway is scheduled to be forwarded to the network in a predefined time that is responsive to the common time reference. The invention relates, in particular, to timely forwarding and delivery of data packet between voice over IP (VoIP) gateways. Consequently, the invention provides a routing service between any two VoIP gateways where the end-to-end performance parameters, such as loss, delay and jitter, have deterministic guarantees. Furthermore, the invention enables gateway functions with minimum delay.

Abstract: An electrochemical sensor (A, A') is specific for the detection of peroxyacetic acid in a solution which also contains hydrogen peroxide. A potential is applied between a reference electrode (120, 120') and a working electrode (118, 118'). A read voltage (FIG. 7) is selectively pulsed across a counter electrode (122, 122') and the working electrode. The current flowing between the working electrode and the counter electrode is dependent on the peroxyacetic acid concentration in the solution (FIG. 6). By careful selection of the read voltage, the contribution of hydrogen peroxide to the current flow is virtually negligible. The sensor effectively measures peroxyacetic acid concentrations in the range generally employed in sterilization and disinfection baths (100-3000 ppm.).
