Inventor: PETERS PETER CORNELIS
IPC: E02D5/44
Filed: 1998-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a reinforced oblong concrete product for longitudinal load-bearing purposes, in particular a driving pile. According to the present invention reinforcing fibers are used to prevent break-up of the concrete due to radial forces which occur during driving, and the concrete composition is provided with said reinforcing fibers before the concrete composition is applied to the reinforcing wire. This method reduces the amount of heavy labour and cost. The invention also relates to a driving pile comprising reinforcing fibers.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de surveiller l'état de l'huile dans un moteur. Ce procédé consiste à déterminer une pluralité de paramètres, à déterminer ensuite un modèle d'injection du carburant (110), à évaluer la superficie de la paroi des cylindres couverte de suie, et enfin à établir sur ces bases un modèle de formation des suies (150). Le procédé peut également comporter des opérations complémentaires telles que le calcul d'une valeur concernant les suies résiduelles, ou le calcul d'une valeur se rapportant aux suies dispersées par les dispersants. Rapportée sur une échelle de temps, la quantité de suies accumulée telle que dérivée du modèle peut être reprise en tendance pour faire une prévision de la durée de vie utile de l'huile.

Abstract: The method involves determining in each processor (MPi) its actual load condition (Yi), if necessary directly from its polyvalent load state, and estimating an available load (Ai) in response to existing distribution quotas and a typically distributed share of a typical task, which leads to a polyvalent load balancing indicator. Each processor notifies its load balancing indicator to the respectively other processors, and determines its probable load distribution in response to the load balancing indicators of the other processors. Each processor determines its distribution quota in response to its actual load condition and the other parameters, and distributes its distributable load to other processors, if its distribution quota oversteps a predetermined value.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for
adaptive adjustment of the phase and amplitude controllers that
are needed in Feed Forward Linearized Amplifiers (FFLA) to
balance, first, the desired signal component and then the
distortion component for the eventual full suppression of the
latter. The particular advantage of the methods of the invention
is that the adaptive adjustment is achieved without the need for
additional RF reference or pilot signals and without RF
correlators as proposed in prior art; rather, it is based solely
on envelope-detected samples of the signal at two test points and
on perturbations of the quiescent operating points of the
amplifiers and/or other components, such as vector modulators, by
appropriately selected voltage patterns. All these operations are
at base band frequencies which makes the apparatus for the
adaptive control implementable in simple digital circuitry.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de réduire le papillotement dans une image à balayage entrelacé (figure 1). On identifie une zone de ladite image où la réduction (figure 3) du phénomène s'impose et on effectue un ajustement adaptatif d'une configuration de pixels émanant d'une relation spatiale sans entrelacement de l'image considérée dans la zone choisie, sur la base des caractéristiques de l'image (figure 5). Un filtre de papillotement (10) utilise un technique adaptative, moyennant quoi les caractéristiques de combinaison des pixels (18) sont constamment modifiées dans l'image en fonction des attributs particuliers de l'image. L'aspect unique tient au fait que l'on maintient une résolution verticale élevée pour assurer un contenu d'image détaillé (par exemple, texte, et la plupart des éléments graphiques), et la réduction du phénomène est effective sur les images dont le contenu est sujet au papillotement. Le filtre (18) a été réalisé d'après des études psycho-visuelles et des simulations accomplies par l'entreprise elle-même, et l'on a effectué au préalable de nombreuses mises en oeuvre de filtre de papillotement. Il est donc possible d'optimiser la résolution verticale, et d'améliorer la netteté du texte et des éléments graphiques, tout en réduisant de manière appréciable le papillotement.

Abstract: A method using diafiltration to prepare a blood product is described. The method removes contaminating plasma proteins from whole blood or blood products. Diafiltration may be used on paraformaldehyde-fixed platelets to remove formaldehyde to undetectable levels, and to suspend the platelets into a formulation buffer suitable for subsequent treatment, such as lyophilization. The manufacturing procedure can be divided into three steps, a first diafiltration, fixation, preferably with paraformaldehyde, and a second diafiltration. In the first step, plasma proteins are removed from fresh or stored platelets or blood cells. The technique is gentle to prevent the activation and aggregation of the platelets. Fixation stabilizes the platelets to withstand freezing, lyophilization and subsequent reconstitution, and also provides a viral and bacterial reduction. The second diafiltration removes the paraformaldehyde to indetectable levels, and suspends the platelets or blood cells into a formulation buffer for subsequent lyophilization.
