Abstract: L'invention concerne une chambre de combustion catalytique pour turbine à gaz, qui comprend une pile de bandes métalliques, chaque bande ayant une extrémité d'entrée et une extrémité de sortie. Les extrémités d'entrée des deux côtés de la bande ne sont pas revêtues, ce qui vise à limiter la température et à maintenir la rigidité de la bande à l'extrémité d'entrée. Selon une variante, les deux côtés de la bande présentent un ruban d'allumage, revêtu de catalyseur, en position adjacente au ruban d'entrée non revêtu. Un côté de la bande (côté A) présente en outre au moins un ruban de combustion, tandis que l'autre côté (côté B) ne présente pas de ruban revêtu correspondant. Les bandes sont disposées de sorte que le côté A d'une bande donnée à l'intérieur de la pile se trouve face au côté A d'une bande adjacente, et que le côté B d'une bande à l'intérieur de la pile se trouve face au côté B d'une bande adjacente. La structure décrite empêche la surchauffe de la chambre de combustion, en maintenant la rigidité de celle-ci, et en réduisant la baisse de pression à travers ladite chambre de combustion.
Patent EP-1482841-A1 (EP)
Title: Suture anchor and approximating device
Inventor: YEUNG JEFFERY E
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: An elastically curved suture anchor is resiliently straightened and delivered into tissue by a needle. When the needle is withdrawn, resumption of the curvature provides leverage for anchor rotation as the attached suture is pulled to fasten the anchor within the tissue. A fin at the proximal end of the anchor further increases the rotational leverage and expedites anchor fastening. When two or more anchors with connecting suture are delivered in series on a needle, the tension of the suture helps to draw the anchors together and approximates the pierced tissue.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of noise reduction systems which are
equipped with an audio-visual user interface, in particular to an audio-visual speech activity
recognition system (200b/c) of a video-enabled telecommunication device which runs a
real-time lip tracking application that can advantageously be used for a near-speaker detection
algorithm in an environment where a speaker's voice is interfered by a statistically
distributed background noise (n'(t)) including both environmental noise (n(t)) and surrounding
persons' voices (Σ j a j ·s j   ( t-T j   ) with  j ≠ i ). Said real-time lip tracking application
combines a visual feature vector (   o   ν,nT   ) that comprises features extracted from a digital
video sequence (ν( nT )) showing the speaker's face by detecting and analyzing lip movements
and facial expressions of said speaker ( S i   ) with an audio feature vector (   o   a     ,     nT   ) which
comprises features extracted from a recorded analog audio sequence ( s ( t )) representing the
voice of said speaker ( S i   ) interfered by said background noise ( n' ( t )).
Patent EP-1501232-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WENGERTER CHRISTIAN
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: A method and receiver for buffering data at the receiver of a packet transmission
communication system employing hybrid ARQ types II/III and adaptive coding and
modulation schemes, wherein the adaptive coding is performed by a two-stage matching
algorithm. The invention underlies two principal ideas. The first one is based on the
recognition that the buffer for storing the incoming data bit stream is only needed
temporarily until the first de-rate mapping operation is completed. It can therefore be
used afterwards for storing the data bits obtained upon completion of the second de-rate
matching operation. This approach helps to reduce the required buffer size at the
receiver and also reduces its complexity. The second idea is to utilize the separation of
the data bit streams into a plurality of data bit substreams and to input at least one data
bit substreams to the decoder without performing a second de-rate matching and storing
operation. This is based on the consideration that the decoder may access at least one
of the data bit substreams directly from the HARQ buffer. Consequently, the size of the
temporary buffer can be reduced also resulting in simplifying the receiver.

Abstract: The invention provides an operating method of a redox flow battery
capable of grasping a charging state of the battery more reliably to
stabilize an output capacity of the battery. The method is for operating
the redox flow battery comprising a cell stack 1 comprising a plurality of
cells. A selected cell(s) in the cell stack 1, to and from which positive
electrode electrolyte and negative electrode electrolyte are supplied and
discharged and which is/are not normally connected to a DC/AC converter
225, is/are in the form of an auxiliary cell 2 used for measuring a charging
rate of the electrolyte. Also, a stop of charge of a main cell 3 and a stop of
discharge of the main cell 3 are controlled with reference to a circuit
voltage obtained from the auxiliary cell 2. Since the auxiliary cell 2 is
integrally incorporated in the cell stack 1, the charging state of the battery
can be grasped reliably without stopping the charge/discharge operation of
the main cell 3. Also, since the stop of charge of the main cell 3 and the
stop of discharge of the same are controlled with reference to the measured
circuit voltage, the output capacity can be stabilized.
