Abstract: A multi-hulled vessel of variable width is disclosed, in which two floats (1, 2) are connected with one another by means of a variable connection device (4). By means of the connection device, the distance between the floats can be varied. At the maximum distance between them, the vessel features optimum seaworthiness, while at the minimum distance between them it has a small berthing space requirement. The connection device (4) supports the central unit (3), which encompasses a useful area unit (5). The floats (1, 2) do not have a continuous deck height over their entire length, but feature recesses (120, 220). These recesses (120, 220) are pushed beneath the useful area unit (5) when the floats are adjusted to their minimum interval spacing.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de mettre en oeuvre une réaction chimique entre au moins deux fluides, selon lequel chaque fluide dispose d'une voie d'écoulement respective. Les voies d'écoulement communiquent l'une avec l'autre dans une région dans laquelle les fluides peuvent venir en contact l'un avec l'autre et lesdits fluides s'écoulent dans la voie d'écoulement de telle manière qu'ils viennent en contact l'un avec l'autre dans ladite région et qu'une réaction chimique se produise entre ces deux fluides. Ladite région possède une largeur perpendiculairement au sens d'écoulement de l'ordre de 10 à 10.000 micromètres. Selon la présente invention, on a trouvé que l'utilisation d'un 'microréacteur', c'est-à-dire d'un réacteur ayant des dimensions perpendiculaires au sens d'écoulement inférieures à 10.000 micromètres, permet d'améliorer la régulation de la réaction chimique des fluides, ce qui entraîne des améliorations significatives du rendement et/ou de la pureté du produit de réaction, ainsi que d'autres avantages. Le présent procédé est particulièrement efficace pour les réactions de fluoration.

Abstract: A device for removing debris (272) from a pit 35 containing water (271) comprises a track (277) which extends from below the surface of the water upwardly to an end located above a receptacle (37) into which the debris is to be placed. A scoop mechanism (273) runs along the track (277) and can be hauled from a first position located adjacent the bottom of the track to a second position adjacent the top of the track by a cable (284). The scoop mechanism includes a scoop (278) hingedly mounted on a trolley. The angular position of the scoop relative to the trolley is controlled by an actuator (306) in use, the scoop mechanism is lowered until the scoop (278) and the lower part of the trolley are immersed in the water in the pit. The upper end of the trolley remains above the level of the water. The scoop (278) is then rotated to the position shown in outline in Figure 18 so as to pick up debris (272) from the pit. The scoop mechanism is then hauled up the track by the cable (284) until the scoop is located above the container (37), whereupon the scoop is rotated back to the position shown in solid line in Figure 18 to release the debris into the container (37). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves replacing lost, faulty or late-received segments or packets and optionally estimating lost, faulty or late-received segments or packets according to known substitution techniques, whereby the possibility of detecting a segment or packet is guaranteed. Immediately after receiving a packet, the signal frame of the packet yet to be received is estimated based on the previously received, decoded PCM signal. The estimated signal frame is immediately used to replace a segment or entire packet if a fault is suspected or detected.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un désactivateur (16) comprenant un tube-canon (18) creux allongé dans lequel sont pratiquées une chambre interne cylindrique (20), une extrémité arrière fermée (26) et une extrémité avant ouverte (22), celle-ci étant fermée par un joint frangible (38). Un élément de canal (46) entoure partiellement une partie intermédiaire du tube-canon et y est fixé. Une paire de canaux (76, 78) de recul s'étendent de la chambre interne du tube-canon vers l'extérieur de manière radiale et vers l'arrière à travers le tube-canon et l'élément de canal et sont reliés à des cylindres de recul (52, 54) orientés vers l'arrière et dont les parties d'extrémité (60, 62) arrière ouvertes sont fermées par des joints (64, 66) frangibles arrière. Une cartouche (90) contenant une charge explosive (88) doit être insérée dans la chambre interne du tube-canon au niveau de son extrémité arrière. Le tube-canon, les canaux de recul et les cylindres de recul (52, 54) doivent, quant à eux, être remplis d'eau. Les joints frangibles (38, 64, 66) empêchent les fuites d'eau du désactivateur tant qu'il se trouve à proximité d'une bombe à désactiver. Un détonateur (36) est relié au désactivateur et plus spécifiquement à la cartouche pour faire exploser la charge explosive à distance. Après explosion de la charge explosive, une partie de l'eau est projetée et éjectée à une vitesse élevée hors de l'extrémité avant du tube-canon, rompant ainsi le joint avant frangible afin de perforer l'enveloppe extérieure de la bombe et désactiver les composants détonateurs internes de la bombe. Une autre partie de l'eau est redirigée à travers les canaux de recul latéraux et les cylindres de recul, rompant ainsi les joint frangibles arrière, pour être ensuite éjectée vers l'arrière hors du désactivateur. Le recul créé par la détonation de la charge explosive éjectant l'eau à travers l'extrémité avant du tube-canon est au moins partiellement contré par l'eau redirigée latéralement et vers l'arrière qui doit être éjectée vers l'arrière hors des cylindres de recul. Les cylindres de recul présentent au niveau de leur extrémité arrière (60, 64) des ailettes transversales (73, 74) en vue d'une dispersion à grand angle du jet fluide éjecté vers l'arrière.

Abstract: A device of dynamic communication of information allows, on the average, non-integer bits per symbol transmission, using a compact code set or a partial response decoding receiver. A stream of k or k+1 data bits is grouped into bit vectors which then are mapped onto corresponding signal constellations forming transmission symbols. Two or more symbols can be grouped and further encoded, so that a symbol is spread across the two or more symbols being communicated. Sequence estimation using, for example, maximum likelihood techniques, as informed by noise estimates relative to the received signal. Each branch metric in computing the path metric of a considered sequence at the receiver is weighted by the inverse of the noise power. It is desirable that the constellation selection, sequence estimation and noise estimation be performed continuously and dynamically.
