Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques destinées à dériver une synchronisation d'échantillons pour des occurrences de signaux multiples reçues au niveau d'antennes multiples pour un trajet de propagation donné. Dans un mode de réalisation, on maintient une DLL pour chaque trajet et chaque DLL suit la synchronisation de la meilleure occurrence de signal pour le trajet qui lui a été attribué. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on maintient une DLL pour chaque trajet et chaque DLL suit la synchronisation moyenne des occurrences de signaux multiples pour le trajet qui lui a été attribué. Pour réduire la gigue de synchronisation, on peut estimer le rapport signal/bruit plus brouillage (SINR) d'une occurrence de signal pour un nombre de décalages temporels différents. Au début, le filtre à boucle de la DLL est mis à jour normalement. Si une modification du décalage temporel utilisé pour la synchronisation d'échantillons est détectée, le SINR pour le nouveau décalage est comparé au SINR pour l'ancien décalage. Le nouveau décalage temporel est utilisé si le SINR qui lui est associé est meilleur. Dans le cas contraire, c'est l'ancien décalage temporel qui est retenu et utilisé.

Title: Indirectly prestressed, concrete, roof-ceiling construction with flat soffit
Inventor: SKENDZIC MILOVAN
IPC: E04C3/294
Filed: 2002-11-19
Granted: 2008-10-28
Abstract: The indirectly prestressed concrete roof-ceiling construction is prefabricat ed element for constructing industrial large-span buildings. The construction comprises distinctly wide and thin concrete soffit plate (1) and upper concrete girder (2), of the inverse "V"-shaped cross section, interconnected by slender steel pipe-rods (3) that are used to stabilize the upper girder ( 2) against lateral buckling and to prevent parts (1) and (2) to get closer or apart each to another. Prestressing of the soffit plate (1) causes compressi on in the upper girder (2) which passively (indirectly) pushes the ends of the construction, acting on some eccentricity over the center of gravity of the cross section, causing rotation of its ends bending in that way the soffit plate upwards. There are two efficient methods of prestressing these constructions.

Abstract: A universal passive protector (20) for an IV catheter (22) is provided. The protector comprises an over-the-needle catheter (2) including a proximal hub (24). The hub (24) is secured within a hub trap (32) comprising first and second interlocking arms (30). The hub trap (32) is secured to a distal end of a tubular sheath (34). A slider (38) is disposed about the sheath (24), and connected to a proximal end of the needle (40) through a slit (36) in the sheath (34). When the slider (38) is in a distal position, the needle (40) maintains the arms (30) in a closed configuration wherein the hub (24) is secured to the hub trap (32). When the slider (38) is moved to a proximal position, the needle (40) moves to a proximal position wherein the needle (40) no longer maintains the arms (30) in a closed position. The arms (30) snap to an open position, releasing the hub (24) and trapping the sharp distal tip of the needle (40) within the sheath (34). Medical technicians are thus protected against accidental needle sticks.

Title: Apparatus for the storage and controlled delivery of fluids
Inventor: FROSTICK ALICIA
IPC: F25B43/00
Filed: 2004-08-26
Granted: 2007-02-27
Abstract: A vessel for containing a refrigerant fluid in a vapor compression system. The vessel includes a housing defining a fixed interior volume and-an internal structure subdividing the interior volume into a storage chamber and a displacement chamber. The storage chamber. is in fluid communication with the vapor compression system and stores both liquid phase and gas phase refrigerant during normal operation of the system. The displacement chamber may be repositionable or have a variable volume wherein varying the volume of the displacement chamber inversely varies the volume of the storage chamber. The volume of the displacement chamber may be controlled by the transfer of thermal energy to a working fluid within the displacement chamber to thereby thermally expand or contract the working fluid. By varying the volume of the storage chamber or the position of the displacement chamber therein, the mass of refrigerant stored therein may be controlled and, thus, the total refrigerant charge actively circulating in the vapor compression system may also be controlled.

Abstract: It has been discovered that the 2-carbon-modified derivatives of 1.alpha.,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 specifically stimulate osteoblasts to form new bone. The ability of the 2-carbon-modified vitamin D analogs to stimulate new bone formation suggest that these compounds can be used where synthesis of new bone is required. Thus, these compounds can be used either systemically or locally to stimulate the growth of bone transplants, to increase the rate of fracture healing and thereby reduce the time required for the healing of fractures, the stimulation of bone growth when required for replacement surgery, and also for the growth of bone to implants or other devices required to maintain the skeleton or teeth in the proper positions.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the ion-beam apparatus takes the form of an end-Hall ion source in which the detachable anode module incorporates the outer pole piece and includes an enclosure around the anode that both minimizes the loss of working gas and confines sputter contamination to the interior of this enclosure. This detachable anode module is substantially smaller than the entire end-Hall ion source, weighs substantially less, and can be duplicated for significantly less cost than the duplication of the entire ion source. In general, the components of the magnetic circuit determine the overall size, weight, and much of the cost of a gridless ion source. The reduced size, weight, and cost of the detachable anode module compared to the entire ion source is due to most of the magnetic circuit being excluded from the detachable module.

Title: Electromagnetic valve actuator
Inventor: WYGNANSKI WLADYSLAW
IPC: F01L9/22
Filed: 2004-04-26
Granted: 2010-10-26
Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator is described in which a rotor is rotatable in a stator which is magnetizable by causing an electric current to flow through at least one winding associated with the stator. The rotor has at least two stable rest positions, each defined by a combination of spring and magnetic forces acting on the rotor. Spring means stores energy during part of the movement of the rotor and provides kinetic energy for accelerating the rotor during subsequent movement thereof. A magnetic torque is exerted on the rotor when a current flows in said at least one winding which is sufficient to overcome magnetic force holding the rotor in a rest position. The rotor is connected to a thrust member by a mechanical linkage by which the rotational movement of the rotor is converted into substantially linear movement. The linkage has a mechanical advantage which varies in a predetermined manner during the rotation of the rotor. In one embodiment the rotor can rotate through 360° and rotate continuously. In another embodiment the rotor has only two stable rest positions and a first spring stores energy during movement of the rotor towards one rest position and a second spring stores energy as the rotor rotates towards its other rest position. The mechanical advantage profile is such that near one rest position angular movement of the rotor results in substantially no linear movement of the thrust member. This is achieved by a lost motion connection between rotor and thrust member in which the lost motion is taken up during part of the rotation of the rotor. The actuator can be used to open and close a valve of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method of making particles suitable for use as toners includes forming a mixture of sulfonated polyester resin, a colorant dispersion and optionally a wax dispersion, homogenizing the mixture, adding a coagulant to the mixture to aggregate the mixture to form aggregated particles, and coalescing the aggregated particles to form coalesced particles. In the method, when a predetermined average particle size is achieved during the aggregation and/or coalescing step, a complexing agent that complexes with ions of the coagulant is added in an amount effective to substantially halt any further particle growth. The complexing agent is believed to halt further growth by complexing with free coagulant ions still in the solution.
