Patent EP-1665426-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CHANG SHUNG-HUEI
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A method of improving the operating efficiency of a fuel cell (120) in a portable device such as a laptop or tablet PC (200). The efficiency is improved by using the heat produced by the CPU or other components in the PC to heat the liquid methanol for use in the anode part (121) of the fuel cell. Liquid methanol can be heated when it is conveyed from a replenishing unit (110) to the fuel cell via a conduit (134). The conduit can be embedded in a heat exchanger (130) placed in the proximity of a CPU heat-sink (210), or placed near the heat-sink for heating liquid mehtanol therein by radiation and convection. Additionally, a fan is used to direct hot air around the heat sink to heat liquid methanol in the conduit and to provide heated air to the cathode part (122) of the fuel cell.

Title: Double polarization dual-band radiating device
Inventor: JELLOUL MOSTAFA
IPC: H01Q21/30
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: The invention concerns a device comprising a first radiating element operating in a first frequency band F1, consisting of four dipoles (1, 2, 3, 4) in square arrangement and a second radiating element (23) operating in a second frequency band F2 consisting of at least one dipole arranged in the center of the square of dipoles (1, 2, 3, 4) forming the first radiating element, each dipole being center-fed by a balun. The set of radiating elements is arranged above a reflector (24). The dipoles (1, 2, 3, 4) forming the first radiating element and the baluns (8, 9, 10, 11) associated therewith are produced in a common metal plate (5), each balun of a dipole consisting of a close-circuit slotted line cut out in the metal plate (5) along a direction perpendicular to the dipole axis. The second radiating element (23) consists of at least one dipole arranged inside a metal cavity (7) located in the center of the metal plate (5). The invention is applicable to cellular radio communication networks.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le contrôle de la qualité de transmission de trajectoires de transmission dans un réseau à commutation par paquets (IPNET). Selon l'invention, des fonctions directeur et répondeur sont mises en oeuvre dans un serveur de ressources (R-Serv) du réseau à commutation par paquets (IPNET). Pour le contrôle de qualité, une centrale de commutation orientée paquets (P-Vst) établit une liaison entre le serveur de ressources (R-Serv) et au moins une passerelle (MG1, MG2), éventuellement deux passerelles (MG1, MG2). Des signaux de contrôle (pinf) sont émis par le serveur de ressources (R-Serv) et transmis en retour au serveur de ressources (R-Serv) après réflexion sur une ou deux passerelles (MG1, MG2). Les signaux de contrôle (pinf) émis sont évalués en ce qui concerne une baisse de qualité due à la transmission, par ex. distorsion, atténuation, et les résultats de l'évaluation sont combinés pour différentes trajectoires d'émission afin d'extraire des indications concernant la qualité de transmission de trajectoires partielles individuelles. De manière avantageuse, l'invention permet de mettre en oeuvre des fonctions de test complexes et coûteuses sur des serveurs de ressources centralisés (R-Serv). Comme ce type de serveur est généralement prévu dans le réseau à commutation par paquets pour d'autres fonctions, par ex. serveur IVR, la fonction de test selon l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre sur des serveurs existants.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de formation d'un dispositif semi-conducteur, consistant à former des motifs dans une couche de résine (88) à l'aide d'un masque à déphasage à tranchées (84). Le procédé consiste en particulier à utiliser une ou plusieurs couches de formation de motifs pour former les différentes régions de déphasage (25 ou 50 ou 26) et les régions opaques (64) du masque à déphasage à tranchées (84). Le procédé consiste plus précisément à former des premières régions de déphasage en transférant une ouverture (17) dans la ou les couches de formation de motifs par une couche opaque (14) et un substrat transparent (12). Des parties de la ou des mêmes couches de formation de motifs sont utilisées pour former des rainures dans la couche opaque à une distance prédéterminée pour former des tranchées (secondes régions de déphasage) (26). Les premières régions de déphasage (25 ou 50) permettent d'obtenir un déphasage de 180° de la lumière qui les traverse par rapport à la lumière traversant les tranchées (26), ce qui augmente le contraste de la lumière traversant le masque à déphasage à tranchées.
