Inventor: GALAND CLAUDE
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: Method and system for adapting access to a packet switching network including a dynamic bandwidth adjustment mechanism which continuously monitors the mean bit rate of the signal source and the loss probability of the connection. These values are filtered to remove noise and then used to test whether the values fall within a pre-defined acceptable adaptation region in the mean bit rate, loss probability plane. Values falling outside of this region trigger bandwidth adaptation procedures which, in turn, result in acquiring a new connection bandwidth, and determining new parameters for the adaptation mechanism. Furthermore, the mechanism controls the number of connections that can be adapted by a single processor, given its processing capability. It ensures fairness between the connections in the sense that it prevents a single connection to use, on the average, a unconsiderate portion of the processor capacity.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé permettant de distinguer le contour d'un objet, et l'objet lui-même, d'un fond, consistant à détecter le rayonnement électromagnétique d'au moins deux champs de vision englobant sensiblement le contour de l'objet et le fond voisin du contour apparaissant dans un détecteur (36) sous forme d'images en superposition ou en recouvrement. Le procédé consiste à corréler les transitions spatiales en intensité des images superposées dans le détecteur avec le contour de l'objet. Le détecteur utilisé pour déterminer l'attitude d'un satellite par rapport a la terre, est un détecteur (36) du type thermique à infrarouge, avec lequel on obtient un fort contraste entre le rayonnement thermique de la terre et l'espace froid. L'invention présente un procédé et un dispositif simples et efficaces de détermination de l'orientation et/ou de l'attitude d'un satellite par rapport à une cible thermique émettrice d'infrarouge. Le détecteur comporte un miroir segmenté (32) en forme de limbe fournissant plusieurs champs de vision à l'intérieur du champ visuel qui sont superposés sous forme d'images dans un détecteur classique (36). La résolution souhaitée peut être obtenue pour une large plage d'altitudes orbitales opérationnelles. L'attitude du satellite peut varier d'un angle important par rapport à l'orientation minimale tout en permettant une détermination précise de l'altitude. L'existence de plusieurs canaux modulaires assure la redondance et une plus grande précision, tout en offrant la possibilité de configurations diversifiées. Le recours à des réseaux de microbolomètres non refroidis comme détecteurs d'imagerie permet de se passer d'équipement additionnel de refroidissement; on obtient ainsi un détecteur économique, de taille réduite, de faible masse, avec une flexibilité de configuration et sans pièces mobiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a charge coupled imaging device comprising a matrix for converting an image projected onto the matrix into a frame of charge packets, and provided with a system of vertical charge transport channels (3) and a horizontal read-out register C. The device is further provided with means for dumping unnecessary lines into a removal region in a certain operating mode. According to the invention, these lines are dumped at the transition between the imaging section and the memory section through the use of an imaging device which comprises an imaging section A and a separate memory section B as well as a removal region (12) situated below the matrix as an anti-blooming provision. Unnecessary lines may be dumped, for example, into the substrate in that the transport in the imaging section is continued during frame transport while at the same time the transport in the memory section is stopped. To prevent or at least reduce aliasing, it is possible to displace the charge pattern in the imaging section while an image is being captured such that, within a group of k lines of which only one line will be sampled, the remaining, unused k-1 lines being dumped, the selected line will contain charge originating from the non-selected lines.

Abstract: A control valve(25) for controlling displacement of a
variable displacement compressor having a suction
chamber(131), a discharge chamber(132), a control
chamber(121), and a pressurizing passage(34). The control
valve(25) adjusts the amount of refrigerant sent to the
control chamber(121) from the discharge chamber(132) to
control the compressor displacement. The control valve(25)
includes a valve body(29) for adjusting the opened area of
the pressurizing passage(34). A solenoid(26) urges the
valve body(29) in a first direction with a force
corresponding to the value of the current fed to the
solenoid(26). A first and second pressure chamber(301,302)
are partitioned by a diaphragm(31) in the valve. A target
value of the pressure difference between the first and
second pressure chambers(301,302) is determined by the
urging force of the solenoid. For a given constant solenoid
current, the compressor seeks the target value that
corresponds to that current. The solenoid(26) requires only
a relatively small current range, even if carbon dioxide is
used as the refrigerant. Also, the valve(25) minimizes the
compressor displacement when it receives no current.
