Abstract: The flowmeter consists of a casing (1) provided with a cover (6) which can be screwed on, and flanges (3) at both ends. The flowmeter can be interposed in a pipeline system. The casing is provided to hold the measuring system, which includes a fitted ultrasonic converter on the cover, facilities for multiple detection of the ultrasound energy from the ultrasonic transmitter to the ultrasonic receiver in the flow passage of the casing, and associated electronics. A removable insert (9) is arranged in the flow passage (2) of the casing. The removable insert and the cover (6) together form an entity, which contains the entire measurement system. The insert is trough-shaped, and fits in a matching pocket (4) in the casing. The insert is provided at its open end with a screwed cover, which is screwed to the casing to produce a tight seal.

Abstract: I have found that in order to improve sheet resistance
uniformity of metal nitride films, such as titanium nitride,
the chamber must be operated at low pressure. The nitrogen gas
flow rates required to deposit metal nitride is determined, and
the pumping speed in the chamber is increased to produce
uniform films at low pressure.

Abstract: An improved digital clock synthesizer provides an "inside-out"
topology. A reference signal is used as one input to a phase-locked loop
(PLL) that produces a clock signal, the reference signal being an integer
multiple of the clock signal. A direct digital signal synthesizer, having a
phase increment defined by a first constant, is driven by the clock signal
to produce a constant synthesized frequency signal. A narrow-band
reconstruction filter is used to filter the synthesized frequency signal,
which provides the other frequency signal for input to the phase-locked
loop.

Inventor: GALLAVAN MICHAEL
IPC: G01R19/165
Filed: 1998-11-02
Abstract: A voltage indicator using a serial or sequential comparison voltage
measurement technique. Reference voltages generated by a voltage divider
are applied to inputs of a multiplexer which is driven by a counter to select
one reference voltage at a time in sequence to be presented via an output
terminal to one input of a voltage comparator. An input signal to be measured
is applied the other input of the comparator. When the input signal matches
or exceeds the reference voltage at the output terminal of the multiplexer, the
comparator switches, providing an enable signal to a one-of-N decoder. The
one-of-N decoder is also driven by the counter, so that outputs of the decoder
and corresponding inputs of the multiplexer are addressed simultaneously.
The outputs of the one-of-N decoder are connected to LEDs which indicate
the voltage level or magnitude. The voltage input signal may be applied via a
conditioning amplifier that scales the input signal and an absolute value
amplifier which provides an output in one polarity for comparison purposes.
DC voltage polarity is detected and may be indicated by separate LEDs.
Additionally, an AC/DC decode logic circuit may be provided to discern
between AC and DC input voltages, and provide appropriate indication.
While the preferred embodiment contemplates that both nominal AC and DC
reference voltages may be provided by the same voltage divider, a gain
control signal may be provided to change the gain of the absolute value
amplifier by a ratio of √2 so that the same reference values may be used for
both AC and DC measurements.

Inventor: MARCOLI SANDRO
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1998-05-20
Abstract: The method involves transmitting a signal from a source over several connection lines or over radio communication through spatially separate antennas (A1, A2, ...) to several receivers (R1, R2, ...). The signal is transmitted from the receivers to a central arrangement (Z) which selects the signal with the best quality, and switches it to an operator. A quality index is formed in the receivers, which is transmitted along with the corresponding signal to the central arrangement, whereupon the central arrangement selects and switches the signal with the highest quality index. A signal strength, a voice signal strength, a noise level, and thereby a signal-to-noise ratio are preferably determined in the receivers, and are used as the quality index of the corresponding signal.

Abstract: A player inputs the spots of dice he anticipates through a
keyboard (26). When air is supplied upward for a predetermined
time by supply fans (74a and 74b), balls (12a and 12b) on tables
(56a and 56b) float and rotate. Here, since each of the balls (12a
and 12b) comprises an icosahedron, its rotation is promoted,
and the rotation becomes smoother due to level difference
portions (42a and 42b) of cylinders (40a and 40b). When air
supply is stopped, the balls (12a and 12b) fall to the tables (56a
and 56b), respectively. The tables (56a and 56b) are swayed so
as to allow the balls (12a and 12b) to land at the normal
positions, respectively. A sensor read circuit (78) reads the spots
of the dice and a main controller (68) gives a score to the player
who guessed the correct spots.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for accomplishing fluid disinfection by passing fluid flow through a uniform array (3B) of ultraviolet lamps having cross sections perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow that define channels (8) for the fluid flow. Positioned next to the end of each lamp (5) at the entrance of the fluid flow are triangular shaped delta wings having surfaces inclined at an angle to the direction of fluid flow. The interaction of the fluid flow with each delta wing creates a pair of vortices (10) that rotate in the same direction or in directions opposed to each other. The counter-rotating vortices (10) reinforce each other to minimize dissipation of their mixing strength as they move down the channel (8). Due to these co-reinforcing properties these counter-rotating vortices (10) more promote efficient mixing of the fluid which is required to achieve more efficient use of the light in the UV disinfection systems, along with heat and/or mass transfer in chemical reactions. Although the present invention is described in particularity as embodied in a UV reactor system, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention has equal applicability to other types of arrayed flow systems in which increased fluid mixing is desired.
