Inventor: NAMUR MARC DIPL-ING
IPC: B63B41/00
Filed: 1991-09-05
Abstract: The lip seal for the location opening (2) for the centreboard case and the centreboard (3) has two support strips (5), let into the surfboard body (4) on either side of the location opening (2), as well as two fastening strips (7) which are flush with the profile (6) of the underwater part of the surfboard, are designed as clamping strips and have a sealing lip (8) for clamping to the support strips (5). The fastening strip (7) is designed as an L-section. A short clamping leg (11, 12) bent at right angles is in each case integrally formed on the end edges of the long leg (9) and the short leg (10) of the fastening strip (7). The sealing lip (8) adjoining the long leg (9) of the fastening strip (7) is formed into a rounded-off sealing edge (13) at its longitudinal side remote from the fastening strip. The sealing edge (13) merges into a flexible supporting leg (14) which is directed up at an angle and is set against the end edge of the short leg (10) of the fastening strip (7). The sealing lip (8), together with the supporting leg (14) and the short leg (10) of the fastening strip (7), forms a flexible hollow-section strip (23). <IMAGE>

Title: Planar optical waveguide having field expanding properties
Inventor: SCHWANDER THOMAS DIPL-ING
IPC: G02B6/12
Filed: 1991-10-01
Abstract: 2.1 The aim is to specify a planar optical waveguide which causes a change in field width and can be produced in an effectively reproducible fashion using the customary methods of epitaxy and structuring. 2.2 A planar optical waveguide consists of a plurality of wave-guiding layers, of which at least one is reduced in width in the direction of a field expansion to be achieved, the space becoming free owing to the reduction in width of the wave-guiding layer (2) being filled with a medium (1) whose refractive index is lower than that of the wave-guiding layer (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fibre optic connector comprises a fibre (10) having a planar end surface formed by hot plate melting. A terminal fitting surrounds the fibre (10) and has a terminal face (24) coplanar with the fibre end surface. A reservoir groove (28) is formed in the terminal face (24) surrounding the exit aperture (22) and is isolated therefrom by a portion (30) of the terminal face. The groove (28) is preferably dimensioned to completely receive subsurface the excess reflowed fibre material resulting from the hot plate melting. The exit aperture (22) is circular and the groove (28) has a coaxial inner diameter only sufficiently larger than the diameter of the exit aperture (22) to assure isolation of the groove (28) from the exit aperture (22).

Inventor: WINDMILLER KEITH
IPC: H03K21/12
Filed: 1991-02-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a high speed, synchronous counter (102) which counts using a Gray code. Because Gray code counting has the unique property that only a single bit of the counter changes with each new count, the output of the counter (102) may be latched at any time and the latched value will never be more than one count away from the actual count value in the counter. The present invention provides a look-ahead qualification bit (240) that provides for an eight count look-ahead. With this eight count look-ahead capability, the qualification inputs to the high order bits can be created through a series of AND gates (418, 420, 422, 424), each having only two inputs, thus saving significant power and space. Because most digital circuits require the output of a counter to be in binary code, the invention provides a conversion means (106) for converting the Gray code output to a binary output.

IPC: G01T1/164

Abstract: A series of nuclear images of a heart is acquired and stored in a memory device. One of the images is assumed to have occurred at the diastole and the perimeter of the left ventricle in this image is found. This perimeter is applied to the image series to produce a sum of the radiation counts within the perimeter for each image. If the maximum count sum is not produced by the image from which the perimeter was found, a new perimeter and a new maximum count sum are produced specifically for that maximum count sum image. A group of five consecutive images, which include the image from which the minimum count sum was produced, is defined. For each image in this group the left ventricle perimeter and the sum of enclosed radiation counts are individually produced. The smallest of these latter sums is used with the maximum count sum to derive the cardiac ejection fraction.

Abstract: Un actuateur sous-marin commandant une vanne (20) ou analogue comporte un élément de paroi amovible (19) fixé à une tige pouvant coulisser de manière axiale, ledit élément de paroi servant à séparer une chambre de compression (2) d'un espace (3) soumis à la pression hydrostatique de l'eau de mer ambiante. Un clapet sélecteur (11) sert à relier ladite chambre (2) à une source de fluide sous pression telle qu'une source de gaz sous pression (14), ou à une voie d'écoulement pouvant être reliée à l'atmosphère par l'intermédiaire d'un réservoir de pression (12) et d'un tuyau (15). On a prévu une vanne de purge (16) et un clapet de drainage (13) pour éjecter le liquide accumulé dans le réservoir (12). L'espace (3) peut être relié à un récipient à fond ouvert (17) pour former une barrière de gaz entre l'eau de mer et l'intérieur de l'actuateur. L'arrivée de gaz sous pression dans la chambre (2) pousse l'élément (19) vers l'avant, ce qui permet au gaz de passer autour dudit élément pour rentrer dans l'espace (3) et aider l'éjection d'eau du récipient (17) ainsi que l'éjection des contaminants qui pourraient se trouver dans l'actuateur. Lorsque l'on met la chambre (2) en communication avec la pression barométrique, la pression hydrostatique de l'eau de mer pousse ledit élément (19) dans le sens contraire.

Abstract: Procédé de formation des dents longitudinalement incurvées d'engrenages coniques et hypoïdes. On fait osciller un outil incurvé (2) par rapport à un engrenage de travail (12), l'oscillation imprimant à l'outil incurvé (2) un mouvement de balancement le long d'un arc (7) correspondant aux dents longitudinalement incurvées de l'engrenage de travail (12). Le procédé décrit comporte des mouvements supplémentaires s'effectuant dans une relation temporelle avec le mouvement d'oscillation de l'outil incurvé (2). Ces mouvements sont des fonctions de l'angle de phase de l'outil incurvé oscillant (2) et les relations temporelles sont définies par une série exponentielle. Ledit procédé permet une meilleure maîtrise des configurations de contact des dents de roues conjugées. Il peut faire l'objet d'une commande numérique informatisée et peut être appliqué à des processus de coupe ou de rectification faisant appel, respectivement, à des outils tranchants incurvés ou à des meules incurvées.
