Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une technique d'incision d'un matériau au moyen d'un nuage de plasma équilibré. Un générateur à fréquences radioélectriques et un amplificateur de puissance peu onéreux produisent une onde électromagnétique émise à partir d'une sonde à inciser émettrice. Cette onde électromagnétique est adaptée en impédance, en fréquence et en puissance, ce qui permet la génération et le maintien en l'état d'un nuage de plasma équilibré, à faibles turbulence et chaos des particules atomiques, qui forme une couche au-dessus de la surface de la pointe à inciser et contribue à réduire la demande énergétique qui est exigée de l'amplificateur. On utilise également cette onde électromagnétique pour engendrer un effet de rétrécissement et ce, afin de comprimer le nuage de plasma, en définir les contours, lui donner une forme et le maîtriser. On utilise, de surcroît, cette onde électromagnétique pour piéger et contenir le nuage de plasma sans devoir recourir à une cuve de confinement, faite d'un matériau solide, en conformité avec l'effet physique de la bouteille magnétique. On utilise l'effet tunnel de la chimie physique pour amplifier l'énergie envoyée au nuage plasmatique équilibré tout en protégeant la matière entourant le trajet d'incision prévu d'une éventuelle exposition aux rayonnements. Ce système permet de procéder à une incision dans un matériau de façon efficace, en toute sécurité, proprement et à peu de frais.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une poutre destinée à un véhicule, par exemple, une poutre de pare-chocs ou une poutre de sécurité placée dans la portière d'une voiture. Cette poutre a la forme d'un chapeau (11). Son âme ou ses flancs (13, 14) ont une forme correspondant sensiblement à l'équation y = cos hyp (x) qui est la forme que prend une chaîne suspendue par ses deux extrémités. Grâce à cette forme, les flancs ne seront soumis à aucune force transversale jusqu'au début de leur déformation due à l'application d'une charge externe provenant d'une collision. Cette poutre peut donc absorber des forces plus importantes avant déformation que des poutres aux flancs d'une autre forme.

Abstract: A trailing arm axle suspension system includes rigid or spring beams for mounting the axle (28) directly to the beam (24) without any or minimal, respectively, additional mounting hardware of structure. An axle mounting plate (43) is formed as part of the preassembled rigid beam or attached to the spring beam, and is formed with a recess (46) that is slightly smaller than or the same size as the smallest axle which will be seated therein. The axle is force fit in the recess under force sufficient to eliminate clearance and create intimate contact between the axle and the axle mounting plate. The force typically deforms the axle from its normal cross-sectional shape, such as round, into a generally oval or ellipitical cross-section shape. Such a force fit also creates a preload or compression between the axle and the axle mounting plate in the recess area. Continuous welds (58) disposed in windows formed in the axle mounting plate are circumferentially offset from recess-defining edges of the axle mounting plate and the vertical axis plane of the axle. The vertical height of the beam in the area of the axle mount, in rigid top mount beam applications, is relatively small to improve clearance in low ride-height applications, and an insert is disposed in this highly loaded area to strengthen the beam.

sufficient tension is applied in the peripheral portion of the perforated region
13 in the major axis direction of the color selection electrode 7, so that
vibrations do not occur easily and the color selection electrode does not warp.
Therefore, a color cathode ray tube with excellent color purity can be
obtained.

Abstract: Single and progressive-resolution coding algorithms for the compression of 3-D polyhedral meshes are disclosed. In the single-resolution mode, the mesh topology (or connectivity) is encoded by a constructive traversing approach applied to the dual graph of the original mesh while the mesh geometry is encoded by successive quantization and the bit-plane coding (achieved by context arithmetic coding). In the progressive-resolution mode, the mesh is represented by a coarse approximation (i.e., the base mesh) and a sequence of refinements. Both the base mesh and the refinement operations are entropy coded so that a series of mesh models of continuously varying resolutions can be constructed from the coded bit stream. Topological and geometrical data of a 3-D mesh are encoded separately according to their importance and then integrated into a single bit stream. In decoding, the decoder finds from the bit stream the most important information and gradually adds finer detailed information to provide a more complete 3-D graphic model. The decoder can stop at any point while giving a reasonable reconstruction of the original model. The disclosed algorithm was applied to complicated 3-D meshes and achieved a compression ratio of 20:1 while maintaining a good graphic quality.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for decoding an incoming symbol stream comprised of a plurality of known missing symbols. Within the incoming symbol stream, those symbols corresponding the known missing symbols are replaced with a first set of values to create a modified symbol stream. The modified symbol stream is convolutionally decoded to produce a first decoded information bit stream. An error detection mechanism is performed on the first decoded information bit stream to determine a "pass" or "fail" indication. If the error detection mechanism produces a "fail" indication, a second set of values replaces the known missing symbols to produce a second modified symbol stream. The second modified symbol stream is convolutionally decoded to produce a second decoded information bit stream. The error detection mechanism is performed on the second decoded information bit stream. If the error detection mechanism produces a "pass" indication, the second decoded information bit stream is passed to the next processing layer. Additional repetitions can be completed until an error free decode is obtained or a predetermined number of attempts is completed without a "pass."

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de prédiction des caractéristiques d'un système géologique contenant un fluide, par exemple un réservoir. On discrétise le système géologique en une pluralité de mailles de grille. Pour chaque maille on construit des équations principales non linéaires qui sont représentatives des caractéristiques de chaque fluide. On linéarise les termes non linéaires de manière à dériver des équations linaires pour un intervalle de temps courant. On résout alors les équations linéaires pour obtenir des estimations de la solution. La solution estimée est alors améliorée par un calcul maille par maille dans lequel les flux entrants et sortants d'une maille particulière sont déterminés à l'aide des valeurs linéarisées des termes non linéaires dans les maille adjacentes à la maille particulière. La solution améliorée est utilisée pour prédire une caractéristique d'un fluide dans un système géologique à la fin de l'intervalle de temps. Ces étapes de calcul sont répétées pour une pluralité d'intervalles de temps et les résultats sont utilisés pour prédire une caractéristique du système géologique et des fluides qu'il contient en fonction du temps.
