Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur magnétique (10) comprenant des éléments GMR (11-18) et des bobines thermiques (21-24) en tant que corps de génération de chaleur. Des éléments (11-14) et des éléments (15-18) sont connectés par un pont et constituent un détecteur magnétique à axes X et Y. La bobine thermique (21) est disposée à proximité des éléments (11, 12), la bobine thermique (22) est placée dans le voisinage des éléments (13, 14), la bobine thermique (23) est disposée à proximité des éléments (15, 16), et la bobine thermique (24) est placée dans le voisinage des éléments (17 18). Ces bobines thermiques (21-24) permettent de chauffer principalement les éléments de leur voisinage, lorsque le courant est fourni. Par conséquent, il est possible de chauffer et de refroidir les éléments au cours d'une courte période de temps, durant laquelle la constance du magnétisme terrestre peut être garantie. En fonction des températures des éléments avant et après le chauffage des éléments et des sorties respectives du détecteur magnétique, les données de compensation des caractéristiques de dépendance thermique (rapport de la modification de la valeur de sortie du détecteur en fonction de la modification thermique des éléments) sont acquises et, selon les données, la caractéristique thermique des éléments est compensée.

IPC: F16B47/00
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming electrical interconnections between railroad track components and signal conductors/lines. In one arrangement, an electrically conductive adhesive is utilized to electrically interconnect a signal conductor to a railroad track component. In another arrangement, a clamp is utilized in conjunction with the electrically conductive adhesive that forms the electrical interconnection. The clamp maintains the signal conductor in direct contact with the surface of the railroad track component while the electrically conductive adhesive cures. In these arrangements, the use of the electrically conductive adhesive allows for making an electrical connection with a railroad component without penetrating the structure of that component. In a further arrangement, a hollow tubular connector is utilized to electrically connect two signal conductors associated with railroad track components. An interior of the tubular connector is at least partially filled with an electrically conductive adhesive prior to inserting the ends of the signal conductors therein.

Title: Decentralized channel selection in a self-organizing adhoc network
Inventor: SAFFRE FABRICE TRISTAN PIERRE
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: Wireless devices in (10, 20, 30 etc) in an ad hoc network each select a channel on which to operate such that conflicts with neighbouring devices are avoided. Each device (20) has a normal power output, giving it a normal range (31) and an enhanced power output, giving it an extended "inhibition" range (33). Initially each device (20) transmits at the enhanced power level, such that it can be detected by devices (40, 50) within the extended range (33). If it detects other devices transmitting on the same channel, it may change to another channel. Once a channel has been identified on which no conflict is detected, the device (20) switches to the normal power level. By initiating the channel selection process at the enhanced level, conflicts between the transmissions of devices (20, 40), which would be detectable at a device (30) within the normal range of both, can be avoided despite the two devices (20, 40) not be able to detect each other directly at the normal power level. To conserve battery power, the process is arranged to have the devices operate at the enhanced power for the minimum time necessary, by dropping to the normal level when a suitable channel has been identified with a reasonable degree of certainty.
