Abstract: A control system is disclosed for controlling an image array sensor and controlling communication between the image array sensor and a microcontroller by way of a serial communication interface. The control system is able to efficiently control various aspects of the image array sensor such as windowing, mode of operation, sensitivity as well as other parameters in order to reduce the data throughput. An important aspect of the invention relates to the fact that the control circuit can be rather easily and efficiently configured in CMOS with relatively few output pins which enables the control circuit to be rather easily and efficiently integrated with CMOS based image array sensors and even the microcontroller to reduce the part count and thus, the overall cost of the system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un catalyseur de purification de gaz d'échappement comprenant un support contenant du rutile de titane, une matière d'occlusion de NOx disposée sur un support comprenant au moins un élément sélectionné parmi un métal alcalin, un métal alcalino-terreux et des éléments des terres rares, et un métal noble disposé sur le support. Puisque le rutile de TiO2 et la matière d'occlusion de NOx forment un oxyde composite finement séparé, un poison du catalyseur peut être décomposé même lorsque la matière d'occlusion de NOx est empoisonné par du soufre, cette matière étant donc capable de récupérer facilement la capacité d'occlusion de NOx. Il est donc possible d'inhiber l'empoisonnement par soufre de la matière d'occlusion de NOx et de maintenir un taux élevé de purification de NOx même après une application à haute température.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the distribution of a chemical species within a defined space, for example a vessel such as an internal combustion engine cylinder. A plurality of radiation sources and radiation detectors are distributed around the perimeter of the vessel. The radiation sources are distributed to emit beams of radiation across the interior of the vessel, the wavelength of the radiation being selected such that an interaction such as fluorescence or absorption occurs between the radiation and the chemical species which can be detected by the detectors. A representation of the distribution of the chemical species within the vessel can then be derived from the detected interactions by conventional tomography techniques.

Abstract: An aerodynamic method of making tissue paper comprises the steps of preparing an aerosuspension out of cellulose fibers, forming a layer of fibers (8) on a forming wire (7), moistening the formed layer of fibers and pressing and drying of said formed layer. The step of moistening the layer of fibers is performed concurrently with the step of pressing, for which purpose the layer of fibers is placed between the profiling (3) and moistening (4) belts. The surface of the profiling belt (3) comprises protruding elements (14), wherein a distance between two mutually-adjacent protruding elements doesn't exceed an average length of the fibers. A wire with smoothed nodes (14) of interweaving threads can be used as the profiling belt, while fine-mesh wire can be used as a moistening belt. Selective moistening of fibers only in the areas being pressed eliminates moistening of the entire layer, and drying of the paper web requires significantly less expenditures of time and energy. Shrinkage of the paper web is also minimized because the non-pressed areas of fibrous layer don't practically get moistened.
