Abstract: Dispositif de pulvérisation électrostatique capable de confirmer que le dispositif est prêt pour réaliser une pulvérisation électrostatique de la composition liquide sur la peau d’un utilisateur. Le dispositif comprend une buse (220) et une pompe (230) pour administrer la composition liquide à travers la buse (240) . Une électrode émettrice (250) est disposée pour charger en électrostatique la composition liquide en cours d’administration pour réaliser la pulvérisation électrostatique. Le dispositif est pourvu d’un interrupteur de commande (60) et d’un sélecteur (70) pour choisir entre un mode de pulvérisation et un mode goutte-à-goutte. En mode goutte-à-goutte, la pompe seule est sollicitée pour administrer la composition liquide sans charge électrostatique. En mode pulvérisation, à la fois la pompe et l’électrode émettrice sont sollicitées pour réaliser la pulvérisation électrostatique. Ainsi, l’utilisateur peut facilement administrer la composition liquide goutte-à-goutte par simple manipulation du sélecteur avant de réaliser la pulvérisation électrostatique.

Abstract: The present invention presents several techniques for using writable tracking cells. Multiple tracking cells are provided for each write block of the memory. These cells are re-programmed each time the user cells of the associated write block are written, preferably at the same time, using the same fixed, global reference levels to set the tracking and user cell programmed thresholds. The threshold voltages of the tracking cells are read every time the user cells are read, and these thresholds are used to determine the stored logic levels of the user cells. In one set of embodiments, populations of one or more tracking cells are associated with different logic levels of a multi-state memory. These tracking cell populations may be provided for only a subset of the logic levels. The read points for translating the threshold voltages are derived for all of the logic levels based upon this subset. In one embodiment, two populations each consisting of multiple tracking cells are associated with two logic levels of the multi-bit cell. In an analog implementation, the user cells are read directly using the analog threshold values of the tracking cell populations without their first being translated to digital values. A set of alternate embodiments provide for using different voltages and/or timing for the writing of tracking cells to provide less uncertainty in the tracking cells' final written thresholds.

Abstract: A structurally tuned, vibration-based component checking system for detecting anomalies in a component of an assembly prior to the component being installed in the assembly is provided. The component checking system operates the component being tested at a speed that is different from the speed at which the component operates during normal use in the assembly, and also under a different load. To compensate for this difference in speed and load, the component checking system is structurally tuned such that a relationship exists between the modal frequencies and speed of operation of the component checking system and the modal frequencies and speed of operation of the assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for the centralised monitoring of territories to recognize forest and surface fires. A swiveling and tiltable camera installed at a monitoring site supplies images of overlapping observation sectors. In each observation sector a sequence of images includes a plurality of images is taken, at an interval which corresponds to fire and smoke dynamics. An on-site image-processing software supplies event warnings with indication of the position of the event site in the analysed image. A total image and an image sequence with image sections of the event site are then transmitted to a central station and reproduced at the central station as a continuous sequence in quick-motion mode. Event warnings with relevant data are blended into electronic maps at the central station. Cross-bearing is made possible by blending event warnings from adjacent monitoring sites. False alarms are minimized by marking known false alarm sources as exclusion zones.
