Abstract: The invention relates to a container (4) with a lid (1) and comprising a conical body (5) provided with a closed bottom and an open uppermost end (6) comprising a cross-sectionally substantially semi-circular, outwardly facing first curled bead (7). The lid (1) is provided with a central part (2) radially circumscribed by a U-shaped stiffening groove (3), whose upwardly radially outermost branch (11) forms a conical surface (11) fitting to the inner uppermost portion (10) of the body (5) of the container (4). In order to ensure easy removal and reapplication of the lid (1) on the container (4) without deforming these parts the radially outermost branch (8) of the lid's U-shaped groove (12) is provided with a second curled bead (14) facing inwardly toward a first curled bead (7) of a closed container with lid applied so as to form a first space (12) housing a sealing compound between the respective curled beads (14, 7) of the lid (1) and the container (4). During this operation, the bottom (15) of the inverted U-shaped groove (12) of the lid (1) engages the uppermost end (6) of the container. The locking connection between the conical surfaces (10, 11) of the container (4) and the lid (1) is provided by means of indentations (9, 16) on the container (4) and the lid (1), said indentations snap-engage each other when the lid (1) is completely applied onto the container (4).

Abstract: On décrit des dispositifs optoélectroniques (dispositifs VCSEL ou photodétecteurs de cavité résonante (RCPD), par exemple) intégrant un réflecteur résonant. Ce réflecteur résonant intégré peut être rendu conducteur pour y laisser circuler un courant polarisé, autorisant ainsi une plus grande souplesse dans la conception des dispositifs VCSEL ou RCPD. Etant donné qu'une conductivité accrue du réflecteur résonant diminue généralement la réflectivité globale de ce dernier, celui-ci peut être combiné avec un miroir d'un réflecteur Bragg réparti pour réaliser une réflectance globale désirée en vue de la conception des dispositifs VCSEL ou RCPD. On peut également mettre en place un réflecteur résonant à bande passante large, ladite bande passante pouvant être suffisamment large pour augmenter la fiabilité d'une communication de données entre lesdits dispositifs, ou suffisamment étroite pour maintenir une commande de mode et une stabilité de mode appropriées. Ces dispositifs peuvent être utilisés pour accueillir des applications de multiplexage spatial, spectral et/ou de polarisation.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for regulating the concentration of metal ions in an electrolytic fluid, which is used for the deposition of metal with insoluble anodes and additionally contains compounds of an electrochemically reversible redox system. With the oxidized form of said system, metal is dissolved in an ion generator 1, traversed by the fluid, so that these compounds are thereby reduced. For the deposition of metal, the dissolved metal ions on the item to be treated are reduced. The compounds of the redox system in the reduced form are oxidized again on the insoluble anodes in the electroplating system 13. In order to keep the concentration of the metal ions in the electrolytic fluid constant, at least a portion of the electrolytic fluid, contained in the electroplating system, is conducted through one or a plurality of electrolytic auxiliary cells 6.

Abstract: A method and a corresponding apparatus are described for the time and frequency synchronization in transmission and reception systems with multi-carrier modulation of the OFDM type, as for instance the digital television system known as DVB-T and the digital audio system known as DAB. In particular the method refers to the correction of the residual frequency deviation  DELTA f and to the correction of the difference 1/ DELTA To between the sampling frequencies of the transmitter and the receiver. The solution foresees the estimation of  DELTA f and 1/ DELTA To through the minimum square approximation, using only a single recursive algorithm with successive corrections. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The spool assembly for storing and handling a wire or cable, especially a pintle, has a spool that is annular in shape and devised to define a radially outwardly opened rim of U-shaped cross-section in which the wire can be wound. At least one of the side walls of this rim has an outer edge with teeth formed in it. The spool is freely mounted and retained in a spool-receiving member having a surrounding wall with an outlet through which the wire may exit. A brake is provided to prevent the spool from rotating when such is not required. The brake comprises a tiltable arm extending tangentially close to the spool. One or more teeth project from the arm towards the periphery of the spool so as to engage the teeth of the spool and thus prevent the spool from being rotated unless the arm is lifted up. One or more stoppers may also be provided to lock the wire. The assembly is preferably made of plastic material. It is very simple in structure and very handy to use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that distinguishes the static component of a frame from its dynamic component and provides a computationally efficient method for background extraction. If a block in a current frame is determined to correspond to a static component, it is not encoded or sent. A preferred embodiment of the present invention works on the block level and has two basic parts. First, the difference in pixel intensities between each block in the current frame and its best-matched corresponding block in a previous frame are determined. These differences are then processed further to reduce the effects of noise in subsequent calculations before they are passed to the second part. The second part applies a concept called herein "center of gravity" to determine a degree of similarity between two blocks in the respective current and previous frames. The center of gravity is determined for a chosen block (in the current frame) and compared with its best match (in the previous frame). A large discrepancy in the two figures indicates dis-similarity and a small discrepancy indicates similarity.

Abstract: On procède à la télédiffusion d'un message à destination de terminaux sans fil, en codant ledit message en mode correction d'erreurs, afin de produire un bloc message codé en mode correction d'erreurs, en divisant en trames le bloc message codé en mode correction d'erreurs et en codant ces trames en mode correction d'erreurs, afin de produire des trames codées en mode correction d'erreurs. Les trames de codage en mode correction d'erreurs sont télédiffusées jusqu'aux terminaux sans fil. Les trames sont alors reçues par ces terminaux sans fil et elles sont décodées en mode correction d'erreurs, afin de produire des trames décodées en mode correction d'erreurs. Les trames décodées en mode correction d'erreurs sont combinées en un bloc message, lequel est ensuite décodé en mode correction d'erreurs, afin de produire le message. En codant tout le message en mode correction d'erreurs en plus du codage des trames du message en mode correction d'erreurs, on peut télédiffuser et recevoir de façon fiable des messages longs, malgré les évanouissements et les autres problèmes dans la transmission. Ainsi, un canal de télédiffusion qui est conçu pour une utilisation en message court peut également servir à transmettre des messages longs de façon fiable. Cette invention peut par exemple s'appliquer à un système TDMA qui comprend un canal de contrôle numérique DCCH comportant un canal logique pour canal de contrôle de télédiffusion de service de messages courts (S-BCCH). Les trames codées en mode correction d'erreurs sont placées dans le canal logique S-BCCH. Le canal logique S-BCCH est ensuite télédiffusé jusqu'aux radiotéléphones en plusieurs tranches de temps TDMA.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is an actuator for gates, doors and the like, with at least one wing. The actuating motor (14) and the associated motor reduction unit (15) are housed inside as half-arm (2) which turns on a fixed support (9) in an oscillating way about a substantially vertical swinging axis (10). Advantageously, the electric motor (14) operates a manoeuvering worm screw (12) which is carried by said half-arm (2) and engages a corresponding helical gear (13) coaxial with the swinging axis (10) and is fastened to the fixed support of the half-arm (2) by means of a torque-limiting device which prevents excessive stresses on the actuator as a result of external forces and also makes it possible to release the helical gear for manual emergency actuation of the wing.
