Abstract: Une vessie gonflable positionnée à une certain distance d'une articulation est fixée à un support structural interne qui traverse l'articulation mais ne la soutient pas. Lorsque la vessie est gonflée, un segment du membre est poussé de sorte qu'il se rapproche du support externe, ce qui augmente l'amplitude de mouvement de ladite articulation. Par ailleurs, la vessie gonflable est dotée d'une soupape de décharge instantanée qui décharge la pression dans la vessie. Le membre est placé entre la vessie et le support structural externe, si bien qu'une efficacité biomécanique optimale est assurée.

Abstract: A wood fiber board (6) which is provided with a decorative layer (3) of paper or similar material, and where the length or width value of the decorative layer (3) deviates from its original value after it is applied to the wood fiber board (6), is cut into uniform panels using a board-dividing apparatus that compensates for these deviations. The board-dividing apparatus has a saw (1) that preferably has a plurality of saw blades (S1, S2,.. S n) which are adjustably spaced in parallel fashion. The board-dividing apparatus is equipped with a number of cameras and with controller which utilizes deviation measurement information to adjust the spacing of the saw blades. The wood fiber board (6) is first aligned with at least one initial camera (4a) at a point P1. Then, predetermined points (P1 and P2) in the decorative layer (3) are recorded by the first camera (4a) and a second camera (4b). A distance (L) between the points (P1 and P2) is determined, and thee discrepancy in the width or length value is determined by comparison of the actual position and the desired position of the points (P1 and P2). Then, the value of the determined discrepancy (A) is placed in relation to the number (n) of the saw blades (S n), and the parallel spacing (a) of the saw blades (S n) is modified by the value of the ratio of the discrepancy to the number of saw blades minus 1; (A/n-1). The orientation of the wood fiber board (6) to the saw (1) is displaced to one side in the amount of one half the determined discrepancy (A), and then the wood fiber board (6) is transported toward the saw (1) for cutting out the panels.

Abstract: A method for optimally op-erating co-generation of electric-ity and heat in which the district heating power range is divided to a lower range and a higher range is characterized in that: base load electricity and regulation electric-ity are produced with a steam tur-bine operating like a condensing turbine; the lower heating power range (B) is produced mainly by heat pumps using the energy of the exhaust steam of the turbine as an energy source; peak-load power and wintertime regulation electricity are produced with a peak-load engine; and the higher heating power range (A3, A4) is produced partially by heat pumps using said energy as the energy source and partially by the exhaust gas heat of said peak-load engine. Both the elctricity and the heat are produced with a remarkably higher fuel utilization rate and sig-nificantly more electricity in rela-tion to heat is produced than with conventional district heating power plants. The invention concerns also an optimally operating district heating power plant realizing the above method. At the initial stage of the operation of the district heating power plant, the district heating load being partial, a bigger amount of electricity may be produced of a fuel unit than at the final stage of the operation with a full district heating load. Extra peak power at short notice may be produced with the peak- load engine with a better fuel utilization rate than with the previously known solutions.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de stockage de données contenues dans un support de stockage de données réinscriptible, sur un support de stockage correspondant, sur un appareil d'enregistrement correspondant, et sur un appareil de lecture correspondant. Les mesures de protection contre la copie exigent que certaines données non effaçables et non modifiables par les consommateurs des produits finis doivent être stockées sur le support de stockage réinscriptible. Le stockage en grandes quantités de ce type de données dans une zone de données fixe constitue un véritable problème pratique. De manière générale, la capacité est limitée à quelques bits. Toutefois, la quantité de données de protection contre la copie devant être stockées peuvent bien dépasser la capacité de stockage disponible dans la zone de données à mémoire fixe. Par ailleurs, cette invention propose d'inscrire les données de protection contre la copie comme des données système dans la zone de données enregistrable (4), par exemple, comme partie du formatage du support (1). Un résumé cryptographique est traité est stocké dans la zone de données inscriptible (32) ou dans la zone de données fixe (2), de manière à créer une relation cryptographique entre la zone de données fixe (2) et la zone de données système (3). Un appareil de lecture n'acceptera qu'un support d'enregistrement qui présente une combinaison valide de données de protection contre la copie et de données fixes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble commutateur d'émission/réception pour transducteur électromagnétique acoustique (EMAT), et un procédé de commutation sélective du mode d'émission au mode de réception du transducteur électromagnétique acoustique, dans lesquels on utilise un circuit particulier. Ce circuit contient une bobine (20) de transducteur électromagnétique acoustique couplée à une capacité d'accord (10), permettant au transducteur d'être exploité à une fréquence désirée lors de l'émission. Un ensemble de capacités (40, 42) sépare la bobine (20) du transducteur d'un ensemble de chaînes (70, 72) de diodes (contenant, de préférence, au moins une diode de silicium de commutation rapide), unies par une connexion résistive (61, 62, 63, 64). Un transformateur (50), à prise centrale au niveau de son bobinage primaire, est couplé à l'autre extrémité des chaînes (70, 72) de diodes. Enfin, une entrée (95) récepteur est connectée au transformateur (50). En fonctionnement, la fréquence du transducteur électromagnétique acoustique (20) est établie par une mise sous tension et un accord appropriés de la capacité d'accord (10). Une tension est alors appliquée au transformateur (50) à prise centrale, et à la connexion résistive (61, 62, 63, 64) entre les chaînes (70, 72) de diodes. Le courant commute automatiquement la conductivité des diodes et permet au transducteur électromagnétique acoustique (20) de passer d'un mode à l'autre comme désiré. De la même manière, le procédé de l'invention utilise également le circuit décrit ci-dessus, et comprend plusieurs étapes. En premier lieu, la fréquence du transducteur électromagnétique acoustique doit être sélectionnée et établie à l'aide de la capacité d'accord (10). Une tension est ensuite appliquée au circuit pour induire l'émission par le transducteur (20). Puis une rafale de fréquence sinusoïdale est générée dans le circuit, de façon à commuter les capacités d'émission/réception du transducteur (20). La surveillance de l'entrée reçue par le transducteur (20) permet ensuite d'assurer la commutation alternée du transducteur (20) du mode de réception au mode d'émission en quelques nanosecondes.

Abstract: A system (10) and method for performing corneal ablation or reshaping with a laser (22) in order to correct aberrations in the optical system of the eye (40) utilizes a wavefront sensor which defines a wavefront correction for the eye (40) and then, based upon that defined wavefront correction, drives a digital micromirror device (DMD) which modulates a laser beam to the eye (40) to perform the correction. As the DMD (26) is a 2-D array of individually controlled mirrors, and the wavefront sensor analysis can provide a sequence of two dimensional arrays of values which together define the wavefront correction for the eye (40), the combination of the two produces a method for correcting the corneal surface. The system (10) may be operated in either of two manners to achieve optimum refractive corrections: (1) off-line measurement of the eye optical system via the wavefront sensor followed by DMD-based laser refractive surgery, or (2) realtime measurement of the eye optical system via the wavefront sensor which directs a DMD-based laser refractive surgery system.
