Abstract: L'invention concerne un support de drapeau conçu de manière à réduire l'effilochage du bord arrière de ce dernier (10) supportant un drapeau et équipé d'une attache supérieure (4, 6) et d'une attache inférieure (20). L'attache supérieure peut être fixée (4) à la hampe de drapeau (1) ou, si nécessaire, peut être mise en rotation (53) par rapport à cette hampe (1). Cependant, l'attache supérieure n'est pas animée d'un mouvement de va-et-vient par rapport à la hampe de drapeau (1). L'attache inférieure (20) est librement animée d'un mouvement de va-et-vient par rapport à la hampe de drapeau (1) et, si nécessaire, peut être mise en rotation par rapport à cette hampe (1). Dès que la vitesse du vent excède un seuil souhaité, l'attache inférieure (20) fait monter la hampe de drapeau (1) déplacée par froissement du drapeau, jusqu'à ce qu'elle arrive au niveau de l'attache supérieure (4, 6, 53), faisant adopter une configuration généralement en forme de U et allongée au corps du drapeau, ce qui permet de réduire de façon drastique l'effet de ressort qui entraînerait l'effilochage du bord en aval (14) du drapeau. Dès que la vitesse du vent baisse, l'attache inférieure (20) s'abaisse automatiquement, entraînant à nouveau l'ouverture complète du drapeau (10).

Title: Multi-loop antenna for radio-frequency identification
Inventor: WALDNER MICHELE A
IPC: G06K7/08
Filed: 2003-10-07
Abstract: The invention provides a multi-loop antenna (30) that produces an electromagnetic field having a magnitude of at least an interrogation threshold of a tag for a substantial portion of an interrogation region located in a plane parallel to the antenna. The antenna may include a plurality of loops, including one or more powered loops (32, 34) and one or more parasitic loops. The parasitic loops receive power from mutual coupling with the powered loops causing current to flow within the parasitic loops, which contributes to the profile of the magnetic field. As a result, each parasitic loop may be tuned to provide control over the magnitude of the electromagnetic field. The powered loops and the parasitic loops may be vari ed over the interrogation period to reduce any area of the interrogation region where the magnitude of the field remains below the interrogation threshold throughout the interrogation period. The powered loops and the parasitic loo ps may reside on a single layer or may be arranged on multiple layers (Fig. 5, 6).

Abstract: Samples of materials used in industrial processes are analyzed to determine the concentration of certain materials of interest. The quantitative analysis of samples for these materials is provided without the need for manual methods such as titration. Indicators such as fluorescent dyes for which the intensity of fluorescence is indicative of the concentration of a material of interest are used. The dyes are made to fluoresce by means of a light source, and a photomultiplier or other, detector capable of measuring light intensity detects the resulting fluorescence. The intensity of fluorescence in the sample is compared to the intensities of fluorescence produced by samples with known concentrations of the material of interest to determine the concentration of the material of interest of the sample.
