Title: Le convertisseur force, deplacement/couple
Inventor: ANGHEL DAN
IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: Dans la technique actuelle, une force de traction ou de sustentation (portance) est obtenue par interaction avec le milieu environnant (hélice, rotor à pales, aile, dislocation d'un volume de fluide) ou avec un support (roue motrice, roue), ou par réaction avec ou sans perte de m asse (moteur fusée ou aéroréacteur). Le dispositif qui fait l'objet de la présente demande de breve t, dénommé "convertisseur force, déplacement / couple", permet l'obtention d'une force de t raction ou de sustentation (portance) dans un mode inertiel. Le convertisseur force, déplaceme nt / couple attribue un vecteur force au mobile sur lequel il est installé, sans interactionner avec le milieu environnant dans lequel ou avec le support sur lequel se trouve le mobile et sans utiliser l 'effet de réaction avec la possible perte de masse afférente. Le vecteur force devient ainsi un attribut ca ractéristique du convertisseur force, déplacement / couple et du mobile sur lequel celui-ci est i nstallé. Ce vecteur force est indépendant du milieu dans lequel ou du support sur lequel le mobile e t le convertisseur se trouvent.

Title: Method of assigning promotional messages to electronic price labels
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN TERRY L
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: A method of displaying a promotional message by an electronic price label (EPL) which stores promotional messages and corresponding promotional indicators in a memory within the EPL.  Once the promotional messages are stored within the memory of the EPL, the promotional messages no longer need to be sent by a controlling computer each time a promotional message must be displayed by the EPL.  The controlling computer transmits a promotional indicator to the EPL.  The EPL compares the promotional indicator in the message with the promotional indicators stored within the memory.  The EPL displays a promotional message associated with one of the promotional indicators within the memory if the promotional indicator in the memory and the promotional indicator in the message are equal.

Title: Differential satellite positioning system ground station with integrity monitoring
Inventor: BRENNER MATS A
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 1996-06-24
Abstract: In the present invention, a plurality of DGPS receivers are employed to determine receiver-satellite-specific differential correction values.      In turn, satellite-specific differential correction values are determined as an average of the individual receiver-satellite-specific differential correction values for each of the tracked satellites. A discriminator is employed for determining a receiver-satellite-specific discriminant which may be sampled and subsequent determination of a receiver-satellite-specific statistical value thereof. The receiver-satellite-specific statistical values may then be employed for determination of a Detection Threshold value and other integrity information associated with each of the satellite-specific differential correction values. The ground station further includes a means for communicating the satellite-specific differential correction values and integrity information associated therewith to a DGPS airborne receiver. A DGPS airborne system in accordance with the present invention is configured to include a mechanization for receiving the satellite-specific differential correction values and integrity information associated therewith. An airborne integrity monitoring system may then be employed to derive particular integrity limit values associated with the DGPS derived position for pilot awareness as to whether or not the pilot should rely upon the DGPS solution for a precision landing.

Title: Method of and apparatus for welding mitered mating surfaces of frame sections
Inventor: VALENTIN MANFRED
IPC: B29C65/20
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: A procedure for welding mitre-cut plastic frame profiles that have inserted seals. A procedure and an apparatus for performing the procedure are to be such that the elastic function of the seals that are; to be welded with the frame profiles in the area of the mitred joint is retained. For the period when the frame profiles (1) and the seals (2) are being welded, the inside section of the seal, which is :formed by the the seal lip and the attachment foot of the seal (2) in and adjacent to the plane of the mitred joint shall be covered by at least one mould part so as to conform exactly or nearly so to its shape and after the welding process the moulded part is moved out of the area of the seal (2). Covering the inside section of the seal in the area of the mitred joint with a mould part when the frame profiles and the seals are being welded prevents a weld bead from forming in the inside area of the seal, which could impair the elasticity of the seal in this area.     The procedure and the apparatus for performing the procedure are used when manufacturing frames from plastic profiles to be used in windows and doors.

IPC: A61M5/44
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs permettant de chauffer un fluide à une température normothermique avant qu'il ne soit administré à un patient. Dans un mode de réalisation, un fluide à chauffer avant d'être administré à un patient peut passer à travers une structure polymère de circulation, placée dans la conduite de transport du fluide. Un élément de chauffage ohmique destiné à chauffer le fluide peut être moulé dans la structure de circulation pour faire passer le fluide d'une température ambiante ou d'une température ambiante de stockage, à une température normothermique ou à la température corporelle du patient concerné. Une sonde comprenant un élément de surveillance de la température peut être utilisée pour surveiller la température du fluide sortant de la structure de circulation. Dans une variante, cette information peut être transmise à un contrôleur, afin de réguler le courant qui alimente l'élément résistif et, par conséquent, la température du fluide. Dans une autre variante, un palpeur pyrométrique à infrarouges peut être utilisé pour surveiller la température au niveau du fluide sortant de la structure, par balayage à travers une fenêtre située dans l'orifice de sortie de la structure de circulation ou ailleurs dans la conduite de transport de fluide.
