Patent EP-0968370-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HUNKLINGER HERBERT
IPC: F04B53/06
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing pump for dosed liquid conveyance. The inventive device has a suction valve (8) built into a suction tube (12) coming out of a suction container, a pump chamber (7) located behind said pipe and whose displacement volume can be modified by means of a pumping member (6), a pressure valve (9) leading to a dosing tube (13), a deaeration device arranged on the top end of the tube and comprising a return valve (2) and a flow-actuated deaeration and bypass valve (1, 4, 5) built into a deaeration valve (10) whose response characteristics depend upon the state of aggregation of the liquid contained therein. Said valve (1, 5) is open when idle, only closing when pressure is raised in the presence of liquid in the valve, and is provided with a membrane (5). Faulty pump operation is substantially reduced when the membrane (5) is connected to a remote closing member (4) which closes the deaeration tube (10) when the membrane is moved and the return valve (12) is arranged between the membrane (5) and the closing member (4).

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un segment de pale de moteur à réaction, lequel segment comprend des éléments bande ou plate-forme espacés les uns des autres, et au moins un élément de type aube profilée qui est supporté par des connexions métalliques entre les éléments plate-forme. L'amélioration de ce segment tient au fait que l'un au moins de ses éléments, mais pas forcément tous, est amélioré en ce qu'il possède une microstructure qui se compose d'un superalliage à base de Ni et qui est orientée de manière directionnelle. Cette microstructure possède une résistance à la rupture sous tension qui est supérieure à la résistance à la rupture sous tension des éléments restants du segment, ces derniers présentant une microstructure traditionnelle et globalement équiaxiale. Les éléments restants du segment sont généralement coulés à partir d'un alliage à base de Co. Le coefficient de dilatation thermique de l'élément amélioré est différent de celui des éléments restants. Une connexion métallique faisant appel à une structure brasée est prévue entre l'élément amélioré et les éléments restants, laquelle connexion possède une résistance suffisante lui permettant de supporter les tensions qui sont dues aux différences entre les coefficients de dilatation thermique des matériaux dissemblables.

Abstract: Procédé d'application de feuilles d'adhésif sensible à la pression et repositionnable, sur des articles en déplacement. Ledit procédé consiste à aligner plusieurs articles, de sorte qu'ils se déplacent de manière séquentielle dans un poste d'application de feuille (72, 74). Chaque article comporte au moins deux zones différentes de réception de feuille, définies sur une surface commune de celui-ci. Une feuille d'adhésif sensible à la pression et repositionnable, provenant d'un premier applicateur, est appliquée au niveau du poste d'application de feuille (72, 74) sur une première zone de réception d'une article sur deux, lorsqu'il passe dans le poste d'application de feuille (72, 74). Une feuille sensible à la pression et repositionnable provenant d'un deuxième applicateur (74), est appliquée sur une deuxième zone de réception différente, sur tous les articles restants, lorsqu'ils passent dans le poste d'application de feuille (72, 74). Dans la pile d'articles résultante, ainsi formée, les feuilles de note ne sont ainsi pas toutes alignées verticalement dans la pile, ce qui permet de réduire la hauteur totale de la pile par la dispersion horizontale des épaisseurs ajoutées des feuilles de note sur les articles.

Abstract: In an improved method and apparatus for cone-beam reconstruction (154), a technique for mitigating reconstruction error, referred herein as successive approximation, incrementally improves the quality of the resultant image, with an exponential decrease in error at each succession. Projection data are collected (150) and reconstructed to form a first reconstructed image containing error due to imprecision in reconstruction. The first reconstructed image is forward projected (158) to generate intermediate projection data which are in turn compared (152) to the collected projection data (150) to generate error projection data. The error projection data are reconstructed (154) to form an error image which, in turn, is used to correct the first reconstructed image. The result is a second image which is improved in image quality. The invention is applicable to a range of computed tomography applications, including medical scanning, baggage scanning, and industrial product scanning applications.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'établir une nouvelle fréquence porteuse d'un canal de commande de radiodiffusion (BCCH) (56) dans une cellule sans gêner le trafic des appels en cours. Une cellule ayant une station de base (34) transmettant des données BCCH (56) sur une fréquence porteuse BCCH existante établit une seconde fréquence BCCH dans la cellule. Pendant une première période, des données BCCH sont transmises sur la première fréquence porteuse existante. Pendant une seconde période, les deux fréquences porteuses BCCH, l'existante et la nouvelle, transmettent des données BCCH afin de permettre aux stations mobiles (14) environnantes de détecter et de reconnaître les deux porteuses. Pendant une troisième période, la transmission de l'ancienne fréquence porteuse BCCH est finalement discontinue de telle façon que les données BCCH (56) soient uniquement transmises sur la nouvelle fréquence porteuse BCCH.

Abstract: A method is provided for obtaining a topography with a substantially planar upper surface. The profile of the upper surface of the semiconductor topography is first detected by a profile detection tool, such as a stylus profilometer. The profile detection tool creates a database to quantify the elevational variations across the upper surface of the semiconductor topography. The database is then provided to a control system of a deposition tool. The control system controls the deposition of a profile layer upon the upper surface of the semiconductor topography such that a thickness of the profile layer is a function of the elevation of the surface. In one embodiment, the control system controls a potential gradient across the semiconductor topography so as to cause more reactant species to be directed toward the more recessed regions of the topography. In another embodiment, the control system controls the opening and closing of valves disposed within a shower head above the semiconductor topography. More reactant species are allowed to pass from those valves positioned directly above the more recessed regions of the topography. The resulting upper surface of the semiconductor topography is thus planar.

Abstract: A lighting device is constructed with LED light sources and a power
control to project light along a selected direction throughout an angular
range of tilt of the lighting device about a vertical. The power control includes
a tilt switch or tilt sensor which is responsive to the angular displacement of
the lighting device about a vertical plane. A plurality of beams are arranged
to project a plurality of oblique light beams. If during its deployment the
lighting device is angularly displaced about the vertical, the power control
means selectively energizes the beam which projects a light beam including
the selected direction when the lighting device is angularly displaced. The
divergence of the selected light beam from the selected direction when the
light is vertical counterbalances the effect resulting from the angular
displacement of the lighting device about the vertical permitting the light
beam emerging from the lighting device to emerge directed along the selected
direction throughout a range of angular tilt of the lighting device.
