Abstract: A vehicle navigation system includes: a key board (9) for setting a start point and a destination of a vehicle; a speed sensor (2) for detecting vehicle travel speed; an azimuth sensor (1) for detecting travel direction; a road map data memory (3) for storing road map data related to various roads; a display unit (8); and CPU (4) provided with functions for detecting a current vehicle position (CVP) on the basis of the detected speed and direction after the start point and in accordance with road map data; calculating a recommendable route from the start point to the destination on the basis of the road map data; and forming various birds-eye view road maps. In particular, the birds-eye view road maps of different visual points (E) and different contraction scale ratios can be formed according to vehicle travel speed or according to a distance from the current vehicle potion to the nearest specific traffic point (e.g., intersection); that is, various birds-eye view road maps obtained from a suitable visual point and in a suitable contraction scale ratio can be displayed at all the times according to the vehicle travel conditions.

Abstract: The appts. includes a laser oscillator (12), a pulse compression cell (36) and a controlled decoupling element (30). The oscillator generates a first laser pulse which is reflected by the compressor (26) through a stimulated Brillouin diffraction as a time shortened laser pulses. The oscillator and compressor are arranged along an input beam path (24) by which the he first pulse propagates. A reflection branch (22) is also included into which the shortened, reflected pulse from the compressor, enters. The reflection branch has a reflector (16) which reflects the shortened pulse back into the compressor to be further shortened. The decoupling element is connected in a reflection beam path between the reflector and compressor. This decouples the shortened laser pulse (54) out of the reflected beam path. The laser pulse is reflected a number of times before the decoupler decouples the shortened pulse from the reflection beam path. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The Present Invention is directed to a composition, its synthesis and a process for adsorptive separation of carbon monoxide from gas mixtures using adsorbents, which comprise cuprous compounds on amorphous oxide macroporous supports. The compositions are prepared by impregnating cupric compounds on supports followed by reduction of the cupric compound to the corresponding cuprous compound. The reduction can be performed by the use of a reducing gas, preferably synthesis gas at relatively low temperatures up to 150°C, preferably preceded by the use of elevated temperature above 250°C. All the adsorbents described in this invention consist of CuCl particles of finite size supported on macroporous support materials including alumina and silica gel. Among the ingredients used to form supported CuCl fine particles are support materials of low dispersing power, high copper loading, absence of dispersants, and proper post heat-treatment. The bulk nature of the active component (i.e., CuCl particles) and the resulting hysteresis in desorption provide adsorbents which have both high working capacity and high selectivity for a pressure swing adsorptive separation process.

Abstract: A four-way changeover valve has an inlet, two working unions (4,5) and an outlet (3) for the cleaning liquid. In its housing (1) are, a changeover plunger (10) and actuating plungers (19,20) at its opposite ends, sliding lengthways between two working positions. In the pipe to be cleaned an elastic cleaning body is moved by the cleaning liquid, striking the actuating plungers alternately. At both ends of the changeover plunger watertight inserts (13,14) limit its movement. Two needle-type pilot control plungers (31,36) are mounted between the actuating plungers, which are outside the inserts. These work with passages for the liquid, so that the latter delivered from the inlet acts alternately against the closed ends of the changeover plunger. The latter can comprise a cylindrical body guided in a lengthwise bore (9) in the housing, and containing two annular grooves (11, 12) spaced apart and clear of its ends. <IMAGE>

To form an anchor the bush need only be threaded at one end, and it need not be drilled all the way through. The bush threads can be either cylindrical or tapering to suit the rod ends, and the diameter of the bush should be 25 mm for a 14 mm bar; 32 mm for a 16 or 20 mm bar; and 40 mm for a 25 mm bar.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for removing the silence from the digitalized voice signals conveyed through packets or cells switching networks. The silence samples are neither packetized nor sent over the network but are regenerated at the output of the network. The silence samples generated are white noise samples, where the level is adapted to the background noise of the silence samples received at the input node of the network. For long periods of silence, the white noise level is periodically refreshed to be adapted to the last silence samples received at the input node of the network. The method provides also a control of packet or cell loss. The method uses or not control packets; in the later case, it can be used for ATM networks with AAL1. 
The method is implemented as a program executed in a Digital Signal Processor located on adapter cards dedicated to voice processing in the network access nodes.

Abstract: Les systèmes de commande de la technique antérieure comportent un niveau de gestion, un niveau de commande et en général un niveau d'automatisation de conception modulaire couplé au processus technique. Jusqu'à présent, les applications techniques placées hiérarchiquement au-dessus du niveau d'automatisation étaient effectuées dans un système de commande informatisé avec une configuration fermée de matériel et/ou de logiciel s'étendant du niveau de gestion au niveau d'automatisation. Des modifications de l'application technique et/ou lors de la solution de l'application technique, ainsi que la combinaison, adaptée à l'application, de n'importe quelles solutions de différentes applications techniques nécessitaient jusqu'à présent un investissement important en câblage et/ou en programmation ainsi qu'un soin particulier lors de l'intégration de cette solution dans un système de commande déjà existant. L'invention vise à réduire cet investissement. A cet effet, le niveau de commande (46), situé hiérarchiquement entre le niveau de gestion (70) et le niveau d'automatisation (32), est conçu de façon modulaire. Au niveau de commande (46), des modules fonctionnels (48 à 56, 84, 104 à 114) sont équipés d'interfaces standardisées, pouvant être combinées en fonction de l'application technique à résoudre. Ceci permet de réaliser le câblage et/ou la programmation dans de petits modules fonctionnels fermés, pouvant être combinés sans nécessiter de programmation supplémentaire, mais au moyen d'une simple structuration, par exemple graphique, pour résoudre une application technique. Ces types de systèmes de commande se prêtent à la surveillance et à la commande d'installations techniques, quelle que soit leur complexité.
