Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for making a polymeric article mold, a method for making a polymeric article with that mold, and improved surface topography features for a polymeric article. A prototype article is formed and then coated with a thin conductive layer. The coated prototype article is then electroformed until nickel plated to a sufficient depth to define a nickel plating tool. After the prototype article has been removed from the mold face of the nickel tool, the tool can be used as a mold for forming finished polymeric articles which replicate the original prototype article. The use of fine topography features such as a dense upstanding stem array on the surface of the prototype article facilitates accurate and complete electroforming by increased surface area presentation. The disclosure also presents improvements to microreplicated surface structures such as stem arrays. The improvements include the formation on a stem array having separate zones of stems of differing heights, and the formation of directional microreplicated features (e.g., stems) which are oriented and shaped to promote or restrict frictional interaction in one or more particular directions.

Abstract: The system includes a humidity detector in contact with the linen leaving an ironing machine. The output from this detector is applied to an amplifier with automatic gain control, providing a signal which is then used to effect control of a heating element. <??>In order to control the humidity of linen emerging from an ironing machine, the humidity is measured with a sensor (18). The measurement signal is transmitted to a variable gain amplifier (30). An automatic gain control circuit (32) controls the output of this circuit so that it is not saturated. An element (12) within the ironing machine is then controlled in response to this output signal. The gain of the automatic control circuit is kept constant for a given period of time, if there is no humidity signal information being provided.

Abstract: A method and an electronic apparatus for reversing the rotation of a two-stroke internal combustion engine (P1, C1; P2, C2), provided with an ignition system (20,21) powered by a permanent magnet voltage generator (1, 2). The electronic apparatus comprises a microprocessor control unit (5) programmed for controlling the sparking both during forward and backward rotations, and for controlling the reversal rotation procedure of the engine (P1, C1; P2, C2). The reversal procedure is controlled on the basis of information obtained from a first binary signal (I1) emitted by a bistable magnetic sensor (7) activated by the magnetic flux of the generator (1, 2), and from a second binary signal (I2) correlated to the polarities of output voltage (vg) of the voltage generator (1, 2). The original forward or backward rotation is made to reverse by providing a sparking delay, and subsequently generating an advanced spark while the engine (P1, C1; P2, C2) is still rotating in the original direction.

Abstract: A deep channel type of radial ball bearing having a retainer. The bearing has an outer ring and an inner ring. Running channels are formed on the mutually opposing orbiting surfaces of the outer ring and inner ring. A specified number of balls are fit into the running channels. The retainer having pockets is placed between the outer ring and the inner ring. Each ball is captured in one of the pockets. A ball contact surface is formed on the inner surface of each edge on the opening side of the pockets. A curved ridge line forms the boundary between the inner surface of the pocket and the contact surface. This curved ridge line that forms the boundary is substantially parallel to the direction of rotation of the balls. A channel is formed at the bottom surface of the pocket. The channel extends from the inner perimeter to the outer perimeter of the retainer. The lubricating oil on the bottom surface of the pocket flows through the channel by virtue of the rolling of the balls and is guided to the outer perimeter side. A triangle-shaped fin having an inclined surface is integrally formed between the adjacent pockets on the outer perimeter surface. The inclined surface is formed on the trailing side of pocket with respect to the retainer direction of rotation. Lubricating oil directed from the above-described channel to the outer perimeter surface by the rolling of the ball is received at the inclined surface of the fin and is supplied to the vicinity of the leading edge of the pocket that is located behind the fin by the rotation of the retainer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The detection of electromechanical oscillations in power systems and the estimation of their parameters (frequency f and damping  xi ) is based on a linear time-varying model. The parameters of the linear model are on-line adapted by means of Kalman filtering techniques to approximate the measured signal y (representing the behaviour of the power system) optimally in the sense of a quadratic criterion. The estimated model parameters are then the basis for the calculation of parameters of the oscillations. Adaptive algorithms are based on a recursive calculation of the estimated parameter vector for each time-step based on the new value of the measured signal and the old values of the estimated parameters. As opposed to the collection of data over a time window and then performing the parameter identification at once, any change in the system can thus be detected much faster. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fuel cell assembly supplies water and water vapour by-product to a cooling water circuit delivered to a thermal storage tank from which it can be recycled to the fuel cell stack as direct input to the membrane electrode assemblies, for use as fuel/oxidant preheat and/or direct water injection to the membrane electrode assembly. The purity of water delivered to the membrane is thereby assured. The thermal storage tank allows for a decoupling of the thermal and electrical loads on the fuel cell stack in a combined heat and electrical power delivery unit. Under low external electrical loads, the fuel cell stack and its cooling circuit may be used at high capacity to provide hot water.

Abstract: Almonds are often harvested off the ground from around trees which have been fertilized with manure. Potentially hazardous microbes are transferred from the husk to the shells during the dehusking process. During deshelling, shell dust with attached microbes escapes into the atmosphere and can permeate an entire packaging facility, contaminating previously uncontaminated packaging and food products. A sterile barrier is provided around the packaging facility. As the almonds in the shell are passed through the barrier, their shells are sanitized. After the nutmeats are removed from the shells, the nutmeats are sanitized again and packaged in packaging which has been sanitized.

Abstract: The invention relates to method of distributing video sequences according to a nominal stream (101) format, said sequences consisting of a succession of images with each image comprising a succession of blocks. At least one of the blocks of one of the images is calculated by predicting motion in relation to at least one reference image, said motion prediction being encoded in the stream (101) with at least one motion vector. Before transmission to the client equipment (8), the aforementioned stream (101) is analysed in order to generate (i) a first modified stream having the format of a nominal stream and comprising images modified by the substitution of certain data by data of the same type and (ii) a second stream having any format and comprising the substituted data and the digital information which can be used to reconstruct the modified stream. The two streams thus generated are then transmitted separately from the server (12) towards the destination equipment (8). Moreover, a synthesis of a stream with the nominal format is calculated on the destination equipment (8), for the above-mentioned stream, as a function of the first stream and the second stream. The invention is characterised in that the modification consists in modifying at least one of said motion vectors.
