Abstract: Un détecteur de mouvements est sensible aux informations portant sur les bords d'objets et contenues dans des signaux de télévision. Essentiellement, le détecteur de mouvements traite les signaux de télévision de façon à fournir des informations portant sur les bords d'objets en déterminant le passage par zéro des signaux traités. L'information concernant les bords contenus dans une trame vidéo est mémorisée, puis l'information mémorisée est vérifiée après un certain temps. Si la position de quelques bords a changé, cela indique qu'il y a eu mouvement. De cette façon, un seul bit d'information suffit pour indiquer la présence ou l'absence d'un bord. Le détecteur de mouvements comprend une mémoire (26) capable de stocker les bords de tous les endroits possibles d'une trame vidéo. L'adresse dans la mémoire représente la localisation du bord. Dans les circuits, seuls les bords horizontaux d'une trame vidéo sont stockés, puis comparés aux transitions d'une des trames comparables suivantes. Lorsqu'il n'y a pas eu de mouvement, la position des bords stockés et des bords réels est identique. Les circuits utilisent un comparateur binaire (28) qui fournit un signal indicateur de mouvement si les bords stockés et les bords réels ne coïncident pas, en indiquant ainsi qu'il y a eu mouvement. Ce signal indicateur de mouvement peut déclencher un signal d'alarme ou être utilisé comme curseur sur un moniteur afin d'identifier la zone où le mouvement s'est produit.

Abstract: Des polyanhydrides présentant une distribution uniforme de résidus aromatiques et d'alkyle sont préparés par fusion-polycondensation ou par polymérisation en solution d'acides p-carboxyphénoxyalcanoïques ou d'acides p-carboxyphénylalcanoïques. Ces polymères sont solubles dans des solvants organiques courants et ont des points de fusion bas, généralement de 40 à 100°C. Les polyanhydrides sont particulièrement bien appropriés à la formation de matrice de bio-érosion dans des dispositifs d'apport régulé de composés bioactifs. Une matrice polymère formée selon le procédé ci-décrit se dégrade uniformément pendant la libération des médicaments, empêchant la canalisation totale du composé bioactif dans l'environnement, et éliminant le problème de la présence de la matrice polymère longtemps après la libération du médicament. Le polymère présente des profils de dégradation cynétiques d'ordre zéro sur des périodes de temps diverses (de quelques jours à plusieurs mois) à une vitesse utile à l'apport régulé de médicament. En outre, une vitesse de dégradation désirée peut être obtenue en choisissant la longueur appropriée de la moitié ou fraction aliphatique.

Abstract: A monostable circuit with device-status feedback control to an external timing terminal is used to controllably change the magnetization state of a ferrite phase shifter core. A pair of such bistable circuits with suitable feedback controls permits a single command pulse of controlled duration to controllably both reset a ferrite core to a saturated magnetic state and then subsequently set the core to a desired non-saturated magnetization state (corresponding to the time duration of the single command pulse). By addition of suitable steering circuits, the controlled resetting and setting of one or more pairs of such ferrite cores can also be achieved using the same single command pulse. The ability to both reset and set plural ferrite phase shifter cores with but a single command pulse of controlled duration permits considerable simplification of beam steering control wiring for a two-dimensional phase array of RF radiators (e.g., so as to provide electronic beam steering control).
